That's definitely not true in France. Unions and CSEs try to give some transparency on salaries for a given position in a given company, but even then, it's not like knowing the salary of everyone.

Ok, so Fira Code won hands down for me and I decided to compare it to the font I'm using today (DejaVu Sans Mono) before switching… And I actually like DejaVu Sans Mono better (among other things because it doesn't do ligatures th

In this very specific case because the author, Matt Mahoney, is one of the most respected experts in the field of lossless data compression. But yeah, in some case the difference is hard to tell.

That's actually pretty much what BARF is doing already; that's the catch.

Another implementation of paradoxical compression, which, applied recursively also allows for infinite compression (ie. down to 0 byte) of any file: https://cs.fit.edu/~mmahoney/compression/barf.html Of course, th

Well, yes; you don't get much to update with Debian, whereas using Arch, for example, you have many updates, very often. Sometimes having many updates is what you want (therefore use Arch) sometimes it's not (therefore use Debian)

That's pretty much the same for the desktop, except you are maybe more often in need of some non-free driver that you have to keep available at hand (eg. on another USB stick) for when the installer asks for it. I find it simpler to do

WRT 2., I had never paid attention to that, but it makes sense as borg is written in Python. That's probably not an issue for many personal use cases where backups are going to be I/O bound anyway, but I guess it's a signific

After years of looking at it, I've been using borg for almost a year now, and I've already replaced rsnapshot with it pretty much everywhere. I'm very happy with the deduplication feature (that's my main motivation for s

The helpfulness of the ArchWiki for people who don't use Arch can't be stated enough. As a user of several distros, this is my go-to documentation regardless of which distro I'm working with.

Well, maybe. Didn't know that back then. I also used the default shell I was provided with (tcsh), if it helps understanding how lost I was. In retrospect, I'm probably a happier coder now because of that.

PSPad is probably the editor in which I've written most of my code as I was learning programming on my own (mostly PHP on Windows XP, old times…). Before that, I had used Notepad (yes, I did!), Notepad2 and Notepad++, but PSPad had so

EDF, the largest electricity provider in Europe does the same in France. Actually, it even manages to do a bit worse: 1FA using SMS or email, but choice is left to the potential attacker. I've spent countless hours trying to explain th

Same sentiment here. Among things like this that I've learnt to do better after not even thinking there was a point for most of my existence, one that has been a (small) life-changer for me is shoe lacing. I've known how to do tha

The JPEG XL reference implementation is under the Apache 2 license, which means that it comes with a royalty-free patent grant. So pretty much the same as AVIF (BSD 2 clauses + royalty-free patent grant).

Cargo for Python… that's pretty much Poetry. I was already in love with Python, but Poetry has definitely made me a much happier Python developer.

Even worse is when companies force you to use SMS as the first and sufficient authentication factor. EDF (the biggest European electricity provider) does that in France.
