    That reminds me of the 3 parts of the cigar in French, which I learned when I lived in France and I was a cigar smoker:

    The 3 parts of a cigar

    • The first third is hay (“le foin”): it’s light and not very good
    • The second third is divine
    • The third third is manure (“le purin”): it’s tarry and gross

    Two thirds of a cigar are not really enjoyable. Considering the cost of a good cigar, that’s not good value. Whoever said smoking was rational 🙂



  • My company is approaching AI like it’s been approaching anything for the past 40 years: with extreme caution. It’s coming alright, but the engineers are carefully evaluating it for coding, and it certainly isn’t being rolled out recklessly.

    I’m one of several die-hards who flat-out refuse to use it - not so much because it’s AI, but because it’s provided by an American company - and my choice is respected. Our CEO sees old-timers like me as the fallback is AI ends up shitting the company’s bed.



  • I just tried it: I had to modify the main .py file so it uses Webkit 4.1 instead of 4.0 (that’s the version I have installed) and it works. But for some reason, photo spheres are only displayed properly if there was no Eye of Gnome instance already running: if there’s already an image up, the second photo sphere remains displayed as a flat photo.

    Also, the pan / tilt mouse movements are a bit scratchy. It’s probably because the engine underneath is Javascript.

    Other than that, it works well. Thanks!
