  • Do they ? You state that roads are carrying more traffic than rails as obvious but I am not certain it’s true.

    I’m not sure what would be the best metric so I decided to compare the number of passagers on the most used road in France with the most used rail line, that are both in Paris.

    The most used road is the Autoroute urbaine Nord with 200 000 vehicles per day.

    The most used rail line is the RER A with 1 400 000 daily passengers, 7 times more.



  • I remember very specifically not being able to play a game I was gifted because it needed at least 256mb of ram and the family computer only had 128mb.

    I was extremely sad, then after months tried to push my parents to her a new computer. They say that the computer is supposed to have 256mb of ram.

    After a while we realized that one of the ram sticks was not properly plugged in.



  • I think I should warn you, it’s a 3h documentary about monks who committed to a vow of silence. There is no voiceover and no extra music, only the sounds recorded in the monastery.

    So as the title said the movie is mostly … silent.

    It’s an experience, a bit hard to get into but I think it’s the best way to experience and understand what their life is like.

    I don’t know how to describe it but at one point there is a monk cutting a thick wool fabric and the just the sound of the scissors cutting through is memorable.

    My first memory with a computer was playing (more like trying to play) Microsoft flight simulator 1.0 on a Macintosh when I was around 8-9. The thing that looks like that:

    I only started using Linux when installed dual boot Ubuntu on the family computer around 14-15.
