It's also a common theme for Kent Beck, who "invented" extreme programming. > i have good ideas, i just don't know which of them are good up front. hence, looking foolish is a prer…

It's a common game of cat and mice, still "played" to this day. When they can be bothered enough, authorities will fill a section of a gallery with concrete. And, in turn, when cat…

Never heard of such an incident in the catacombs before. In my uninformed opinion, this seems unlikely: gas pipes in Paris are buried less than 1m deep, whereas the catacombs are 1…

Home-made smoke bombs are a classic (and annoying) prank in the underground. Fills an entire gallery in less than a minute: https://www.loupiote.com/photos_l/catacombes-de-paris-ca…

Nothing gets scrutinized - it's illegal to go down there anyway. Folks down there are not always safety conscious or very responsible :o) Sometimes there are parties with tens or o…

If you have trouble picking a project, code katas are really fun to try. The instructions are broad enough that you can solve them in different ways. Take a crack at one, solve it.…

I've had numerous failures on older RPi models due to SD card corruption, even in non-write intensive contexts. Not sure this is good enough when you want reliability...

Joel Spolsky used to be a Program Manager for Excel. He has a great, 1h long video doing an Excel demo a few years ago - here, now YOU can be the Excel guru https://youtube.com/wat…

Lighthouse (now the Chrome dev tools "audits" tab) makes it really easy to trim down your site to the bare minimum. I've using on my personal blog, it's actually quite fun to work …

Batteries included, except when it's not :) Cross platform Python is tough, especially when you use dynamically linked C libs on a platform that can change versions without warning…

There was no law about this but school staff sometimes enforced it anyway.

I believe classifying libs/frameworks by number of stars is not enough ; "when" these frameworks got stars, or how many stars they got in the past 6 month, is probably important. N…

Isn't it already happening ?

Ooooh I see. I like it, thanks !

I guess I'm not math-y enough so that I intuitively understand the simple math formula. On the other hand, I like his window image : e.g. I understand better how, the further you g…

Best simple explanation I've seen so far. I highly recommend Fabien's Game Engine Black Book. I'm halfway through it, and it's really fun. I've only been a software dev for 6 years…

Agreed. Discussing trends (speed of progress) with just two data points doesn't work.

But if it's lunch time, everyone is waiting in the same fast line, which defeats the purpose ...

Slightly different use case, though. Say I want a sandwich and a drink, I want that right now, not delivered to my house in one hour. Funny PR, though !

Agreed. Also, they don't discuss how they chose their features... It seems the problem was already solved before even applying ML to it. Maybe the example is too naive ?

Such an educated man might go a step further than just answering the question, and rephrasing it... Maybe it's not just about earning more money, but disproportionately higher stan…

Mmmh, not being familiar with US immigration laws, I'm not sure I get everything. Is this about companies who illegally "import" foreign workers when they could have recruited US c…

Syria for sure, and there's also Libya. Ah, and don't forget the European border policies regarding (mostly Syrian) refugees...

Interesting app, I've been using it here and there, mostly with a self-hosted IRC server. More or less a completely self-hosted chat system. The UI is clean, and once it's up and r…

Too bad it doesn't have swagger integration (yet). Love the easy, clean API - it's great for a reasonably sized project.
