    So, you think the French networking infrastructure builds and maintains itself? Companies tend to only build infrastructures in very populated areas where it will quickly turn to p…

    This lacks data. We'd need to know the efficiency, life expectancy and energy production cost of the cells in order to know if this is really interesting. If you need more energy t…

    I tried hyper v2 recently, took some time to fiddle with plugins and config everything to my liking. It was usable, though missing the ability to launch different shells in differe…

    Google used to own the most used RSS feed subscription service. They shut it down. So, not Google.

    Agreed that it looks more like an investment plan than a loan, especially with the funds being unlocked gradually upon completion of assignments and courses attendance. My point wa…

    I see. It makes sense, I'm curious to see how it will evolve.

    So, basically, your company is part school, part loan agency. The loan business is offering to students a loan which covers scholarship in the school + 10k, and then bets on the jo…

    The thing is, considering the current state of web development, "front-end/back-end/full stack" labels just don't hold up. Knowing cache strategies, all the subtleties of consuming…

    There are things mixed up here, and it's my fault for bringing two different things in the mix. In the case of the advice given to OP to give their phone number because recruiters …

    " As a recruiter I am far too busy to be bothered emailing people who provide only an email address as their primary mechanism of contact. 999/1000 resumes include a phone number."…

    The question is tricky, because it suggests that getting things done and having quality code somewhat differ. For me it doesn't. In my company, code of poor quality is just not don…

    Too bad the differences in translation styles make it really easy to spot which is which without even having to really read. :/ And I'm not even a native English speaker.

    Well, maybe, I don't know, my only data points are personal experience and testimonies, which are not really the best building blocks for fully informed opinions. However, I'd argu…

    Depends on what you call decent and how far from the center you go. I'm currently outside of Paris, having 15 minutes on foot plus 15 minutes on train plus 15 minutes in Subway to …

    Hum, I don't know how the system works in the US, but in France a lot of money is taken from the salary to cover for health insurance, unemployment insurance and retirement plan. P…

    I'm not convinced. The existence of "complex" features in a language aren't an issue IMO as long are they're not shown right away. You almost always present to beginners variables,…
