    I'm surprised you're getting downvoted. Running youtube costs money, some creators spend a lot of time or even make a living out of their videos, that we, the users, willingly enjo…

    The first thing I would advise is to be as transparent as possible with the founder, you can't go on like this. Don't go in as the whole team, it'll probably be a hard time for him…

    And still there is a 'follow us on FB' button on the EFF website and this specific page, which acts as a tracker (and as such gets blocked on Firefox).

    Would be nice to get the savings in delta-v, I've no idea how to compute this.

    GTO: ~11.5 km/s GEO: ~14 km/s (but you don't need that speed since the end of the cable is much slower, orbit period of ~28days instead of 24 hours) GEO moon surface ~3.2km/s super…

    Indeed this would avoid the tricky 'land to a place where nobody can help you' part.

    Comment #20994697

    However since the moon period is not the same as a GEO period, maybe the fact that you could juste 'catch' the end of the cable before falling back to earth without having the spee…

    Comment #20994639

    Without considering the fact that the orbit of the Moon is not circular, this only helps reduce the delta-v needed to go from the surface of the earth to the surface of the moon by…

    The point was to illustrate the fact that 'world domination' is a strange word to use when comparing against 3 countries only, leaving aside a lot of well educated students, some o…

    meanwhile European CS students, with their fellow students from the UK, Switzerland, Korea, Japan, [add whatever country you like except the 3 which are - on average - worst than t…

    I'm quite surprised by some of these reasons: - 1 & 2: just use virtualenv, js has its own version manager too (nvm) which is very useful. This is one of the reason why only python…

    You have EU funds to help bootstrap your company, either directly or via subsiding the institution which is funding you (even if it can be harmful), cheap or even free medical serv…

    Totally agree with you. There is a huge benefit having a clean API which works for a variety of clients (native / mobile / desktop) and a corresponding variety of team members inst…

    I'm not sure this is a fair comparison though since PMs usually are experienced when junior software engineers are common, and even more you can have SE switching to PM roles but t…

    Graphql and apollo add some overhead to your queries, both in your client and your API. And since you're still performing a POST query with each graphql query it's kinda logical to…

    Comment #17575298

    as sgdesign said, you can write your own resolver function (which allows you to retrieve a particular field deep in the nested graph of graphql). It's very easy to create decorator…

    Python (Django) support is good (appart from subscription), but not as out of the box as NodeJS indeed

    Comment #17567037

    One important thing to note: performance-wise, both in front-end when used with apollo, and in backend (you need to handle nested queries smartly) a good implementation of a REST a…

    Comment #17567004

    I'd like to add that correctly designed resolvers allow you: - to control very easily who can fetch what where it's fetched (permissions) - to fetch nested data when you need it wi…

    I definitely don't think official software updates could be made not reversible. And worst brick a perfectly fine device. Would love to hear from the ppl downvoting too.

    I really love the idea of an off-line voice assistant, however most of my tech friends in France and I feel that Snips (which is very visible on the press here) still has to delive…
