I always thought that 8.8.8.8 was routed by anycast, thus pointing to the closest server.

A few of the main contributors are good friends of mine, so this post might be biased. One of the nicest part of Nit in my opinion is their foreign function interface (FFI). It cur…

I've seen a few merchants using a touch screen, including a few Gap stores in Montreal.

I think that the two most important strategies are to actually pair with someone and ask questions after doing some research. Being able to do some pair programming helped me to un…

Actually it's the province of Quebec and it is a tax credit for video game studios. The incentive was put in place around 1998-1999 and it is said to have been paying itself since …

I live in Québec and we have extremely low tuition fees. A 3 years program in any university will be around $1500CAD per semester, so $9000 in total. There are some variations betw…

Well, AppCache works just as an offline caching system for webpage assets (html files, images, javascripts, css, etc). So yeah it's technically possible to have a 5 GB offline cach…

> There is no longer a prompt when websites use appcache. Quite happy with this one. I had to develop an offline web-based application a few weeks ago and it really bugged me that …

I am currently following a compiler class, and I must say that I am really amazed and impressed. For an assignment, we of course had to write an interpreter for our own mini langua…

That is a really good news! I have been using Twilio for a client of mine offering callback numbers for one of their product. I found out about Plivo last March at PyCon in the exp…

As a fellow french speaking Quebecer, this is because of the "Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux", the main office regulating alcool, races and gambling. In our legislation…

I have been following BTC China along side MtGox, and it seems that BTC China is starting to fall also. Price was ¥1700 ($274) 15 minutes ago, and now it runs at ¥1,386.00 ($223). …

Wait a minute, didn't it start out of a Reddit thread a couple of years ago?

This year was my first PyCon ever. Being a student, I did not have the funds to pay for a 4 night hotel and a 600$ flight. I really wanted to go, so I just decided to put what ever…
