    Be careful, it's more of an accelerated natural selection than a school. The postulate of 42 is that talented people will acquire this fundamental knowledge no matter what, and tha…

    Thanks for this post. As a European I wasn't aware these rules actually existed. I thought they were merely "Hollywood" tropes to have explicit romantic interest in fiction while k…

    The idea in the OP is that if you're going to use the Amen Break, don't require "Hiphop-all", "Breakbeat-all" or, hell, if we're going by some of the Wikipedia examples, "Futurama-…

    Putting the format and security aside, isn't the main issue that XMPP was so good that we tried to bite more than it could chew? - Local Federation is great, but Global Federation …

    We used to use client certificates to declare and pay our taxes online in France, about a decade ago. They dropped the technology because no one savvy enough used the same computer…

    That's true for the most part, I mean, the government obviously didn't mention some of the things that are in the cable unless they deliberately wanted to shoot themselves in the f…

    To be honest, as a French person I didn't see anything new in this cable. None of this was secret, it was pretty much the official stance, except stripped of the humanitarian aspec…

    It is, actually, an issue specific to driving businesses, and Uber is far more lenient than the law. Uninsured and unlicensed drivers are normally very rare because many, many peop…

    The key is the pacing of the asset streaming relative to the rate of environmental change the player is creating on the screen. Streaming essentially disables fast travelling and t…

    You forgot another company runner in France, and a very important one: the procurement people. These guys make it incredibly difficult to build new businesses. In their mind contra…

    Aye, I won't bother critiquing the example, I see what you mean with the boilerplate as noise and part of me agree with you. One of the main points of programming is to reduce the …

    Php is an old lover to me, I haven't even touched it in the last decade. Revisiting this tech is very tempting, especially when I look at the first line of the changelog for all th…

    So basically, passion, right? Or is it what you already know and do all the time? It's an interesting take nonetheless, I've been toying with the concept of data/documents as the i…

    Ask HN: If you were to build a new webapp today, how would you pick your techs?
