In the early 20th century there was a high-profile case in Portugal, where a forger managed to convice Waterlow and Sons (a currency printer in the UK, since bought by De La Rue and currently one of the Euro printers) to print batches of po

It's interesting how little talk there is about it, and I'm not exactly sure how Microsoft believes it to be a good thing. I've been an Office (for Mac) buyer for the last few versions but the new pricing for Office 2015 is m

But it'ss much easier to avoid burnout. Even if your objective is based on an "us vs. them" mentality, you still have a purpose. If you feel like you're working alone (and sometimes this happens even with other people ar

I think you just described somewhat of a dystopian future... :) Most work is a group effort. Group efforts require the feeling of belonging to a group to be effective. You just cannot get that if you work remotely. Real human interaction ca

My perception of Qt may be based on outdated information, but not my perception of C++. It has too many features, a too high probability of two C++ programmers having chosen a different subset of the language to work with and thus barely un

The last time I used Qt was a long, long, time ago. I liked it, mainly because it avoided the STL and was cleaner. I'm not a fan of C++ (I consider it a baroque and overly complex language), but I enjoyed using Qt. So, this line seems

However, after a few years of using both, my conclusion is that PowerShell isn't a better shell. It is programatically superior (for scripting) but inferior as a CLI language. And your examples are one of the reasons why. "Do one

I live in the EU. The French labor law is not much different from other EU countries. Also, the law exists for a reason. Putting the blame on employees in this case is an ideologial opinion, not a fact.

by CrLf 11y ago
The article tries to put the blame on the former employees, but the real moral of this story is to follow the law when laying people off or suffer the consequences.

The payout probably doesn't start right away, at least not to the employees. The money is probably put under court control until appeals are resolved.

When I last checked, IBM sold these x86 servers (I can't recall what the model line was called) that you could stack and made to behave as a single NUMA box. These compared very favorably to POWER servers in the same price range (32 co

The thing is, if you're going for a POWER server these days you aren't going for the overall performance of the machine, you're going for the per-core performance. It has been pretty easy to get an x86 box with better total p
