I tried to address your type of reaction in my "If your initial reaction is(...)" sentence, but that failed. The point is not that this code is good or bad. It's that it is possibl…

Like others I disagree that you have to wrap _everything_ in useCallback/useMemo. However saying you only need those for performance reasons is wrong. There are cases where avoidin…

Right now: they don't have such right. After the law: they do have the right and it requires a judge's approval renewed every 15 days. I'm not talking about what the capacity of in…

Would you mind sharing what type of work? 160k in France is really high for such work conditions

I'm curious about your opinion on Git. It's actually a tool I'm excited to teach to non-developer people who deal with text documents and the need to keep a history, multiple versi…

I don't understand: if you have fixed dependencies and the same Nodejs version, how can things break? I'm not saying it's a good thing to not update your packages but you seem to i…

" and made it legal to impose a one-off seizure on all accounts above 100k€ overnight" please give a source or at least detail the conditions it can be applied. The way you phrase …

Don't we have to use broad terms to avoid abuse of edge cases? Should we have avoided writing a constitution because "freedom of speech" is extremely vague? GDPR is a radical step …

There's another way which doesn't involve knowing the relationship with Locke. Basically, in the response shown in the blog post, there's a bit of a contradiction. It says that Hob…

Any modern society is relying on digital supports for most of its administration. Estonia is just proposing more "frontends" to its citizens. Not all of them decide to use it btw (…

"Their manager might, but engineering managers only want to pay for discrete new capabilities, i.e. making their developers 18% faster when writing code did not resonate strongly e…

You say that nuclear in France is not profitable and so is subsidized (potentially, don't want to argue that here). To back this you use the fact France agreed to a mechanism (AREN…

When your main stakeholder (French State) forces you to sell your production way below market rates to your competitors, leaving you with a 8bn€ loss for 2022, it's no surprise EDF…

I can understand it's a stimulating problem for the brain. In terms of priorities it doesn't make any sense at all to me though. It's hard to get the global population to care and …

I share your view about making estimates and quotes. I get contractors to my house to help me renovate. It's just standard practice to get multiple tradesmen (>=3) to make a quote …

"That means that Firefox is also illegal in France." I'll be the one: can you please expand on your statement?

"I spend roughly the same amount of time..." the paradox works if you define usage as energy consumption, not time spent. 20 years ago, you were not streaming 1080p videos or downl…

Do you mind sharing the details like amount of crypto(s) / USD, interest rates, repayment terms etc. You could scale all money numbers (not durations please) by a factor if you pre…
