Most of the job offers in Paris seem to come from agencies (for junior developers). I used to avoid sending resumes to agencies but now I'm trying to be less selective.

I look good but I speak too softly and I don't know how to improvise in conversations. So for a one-to-one technical conversation I have no problem but for casual chats within a gr…

Whenever I get a job interview as a junior web developer, I am told that my technical competence is undeniable but I'm way too introverted to be hired, especially in web agencies. …

Say they ask Amazon for your password, if you reuse the same password elsewhere like 99% of people, then they can access all your other accounts without any permission to ask. In t…

Nope. I have a monochrome image. I don't receive any notification.

> These declarations will only be used to shame public figures once the list is leaked. LOL. On my Twitter account I have a public list for porn. It used to be a private list but m…

We don't hear a lot about non-American startups in general. Or even those outside SF and maybe NY. It's the ecosystem effect.

Someone should build a prototype of such a tube and see if it's efficient. The mystery around Hyperloop generates a lot of ideas that should be tested. Railroad infrastructures are…

They will delete your account if you upload pornographic images. Since your data is private, the only possble reason for this policy is to make the job of spies more comfortable. T…

Instagram had a similar redesign recently. http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/hand_bea... I recommend subscribing to the Brand New blog if you're interested in log…

It's not a space. The l and the C are at the same distance as before. She just remove the ligature. I looks more natural I think. Writing with a pen on paper, I wouldn't write the …

Dudes, the word for "non hierarchical" or "structureless" is "anarchist". Either a social organization is a hierarchy or it's an anarchy (or a mix of both). A corporate culture is …

It looks like with the nuclear bomb: all countries want the world to know that they have it. Are secret attacks becoming the norm and governments are telling they have the means to…

There's UC Browser. It probably uses IE's rendering engine since the big names (FF, Opera) are missing. You can't have IE in Kid's Corner (the guest mode) so you'll want UC Browser…

Yes this article was specifically for Americans. I studied at the Sorbonnne in Paris and it cost me around 100€ per year. I thought most courses were a waste of time, though. I thi…

I think Kerry is 'troubled' because if a Russian whistleblower revealed FSB secrets, it's obvious that the USA will now feel entitled to offer them asylum and ignore Russia's deman…

Everyone can be a certificate authorithy. The problem is that browsers only recognize a small number of authorities and display a scary message for others.

Google could still turn off the balloons above the hostile nations. Saying: we can give you cheap Internet if you want of nothing if you don't want. If balloons have a camera, they…

I remember the BBC's Dirac codec uses wavelets. i don't know how it performs today, no one has adopted it.

Taiwan is as rich as Japan. I've seen a documentary on Taiwan this week and considering people's fashion style, the high-speed trains and other cultural signs, I was totally convin…

The main thing I dislike is the Helvetica typeface. It's such a bland conservative choice that we have seen in every magazine for decades. The Light style is even worse (less legib…

It doesn't happen if you use a local account but you can login to Windows 8 using your Microsoft account (from Hotmail or whatever). Of course they store those credentials on their…

It's worth repeating that the name for people who are constantly being watched is 'prisoners'.

"All our masons must be architects."

Well, Microsoft Office supports ODF and can use it as the default for all new files. At least since the 2010 version. If even MS recognizes that ODF has won, we have no reason to u…
