In my mind, if your car is automatically calling emergency services after a crash, I assume they also know where you are. It would make perfect sense if you are unconscious or unable to describe the location; regulations or not.

It's even worse. Apparently a critical phone call was intercepted by the DGSE (the french intelligence) before the attacks (Thursday), and transferred to the DGSI (the french counter-intelligence). The two are supposed to cooperate but

I went to a french private school (Epitech) and just completed my Master's degree there. I spent three years in Rennes (west of France), one year in California and one year back in Paris. I interned for 2 startups and worked as a TA fo

Wait, the three buffers should be merged together upon free(), if they're consecutive in memory, isn't it? What did I miss?

A genuine question: is making assumptions based on perceived cultural influence incorrect? I mean, I know asian work cultures are "harder" than my european one, but is it incorrect to spell that in a public/social context?

This rule is not constrained only to english, it happens to exist in french too (and probably other languages). Also, reading well written texts is supposed to expand your vocabulary and understanding of the language. How's thats suppo

I have witnessed these "optimizations" taking place in the previous ad-tech-startup I worked at. The story goes like this, everything was (almost) fine, the product worked and it wasn't obtrusive. But, the numbers (CTR, conve

That's a subtle hint to the extended corruption spayed by advertising. Publishers' jargon is centered around CTR, CPM, and traffic, because of their limited understanding of the technology powering their revenue. They grasp at wha

Usually, festivals require that the movie is not distributed when you apply for a selection. I have yet to discover why, but it's probably because it makes them more attractive.
