Plus there is another 1/3 coming from Latin which French speakers has no issue understanding either. English is basically akin to a dumbed down pidgin of French (exponentially less…

A few weeks ago people were discussing here how their typing speed was making them code faster. On the other hand I haven't been limited by writing code, the linked article match m…

Researcher here: yes it's playing. And playing isn't a bad thing. If we hadn't fun, a lot of us would have quit already.

> The initial setup effort in LaTeX becomes minimal as this cost is "amortized" over the document. I'm still sour about the 3 days it took me to have something usable for my thesis…

Yes it's defined for fictional characters, but I have the feeling it's more due to their obsession of details. I've never been asked my blood type there in years, whereas some Taiw…

I'm pretty sure there is way less regulations in the US in respect to France where going over the legal 35h/week requires additional capital and legal paperwork.

It's still very very far from engineering. Like, how long and how much one has to study to get an engineering degree? 5 years over many disciplines. On the other hand, prompt tweak…

Mixologist has already replaced bartender.

Especially painful when one of said employee is Stephen Toub, who is famous for his .net performance blog posts.

I avree with starting from the third paragraph. However I disagree about what you said on academics. The few I interrogated on the topic already adapted their practice, notably cha…

A lot of developers of my generation (30+) learned to program within a code editor and compile their project in command line. Remove the IDE and we can still code. On the other han…

That's the same thing in France, where on average a retiree has a higher pension than a worker. Workers whose one third of gross salary goes to pensions, then at least another of n…

Certainly. One probably could writre a PhD thesis in sociology about this community given how "particular" its interactions are with the outside world.

Most but not all laws in France are like that. In fact, some of the laws applied in France are written... in German and aren't compiled in the codes. There is a whole institute (al…

I swear it's forbidden by the language licensing to write any novel software with it. Actually I'm also pretty sure it disproves writing software by oneself in favor of asking othe…
