Parisian cyclist here: it's true that old bike infrastructure is bad (I have quite a lot of grips on my daily commute due to bad design), but that's not the case with new bike infrastructure. Some good examples of new bike infrast

Not an expert on the subjet, but what I saw is this: old houses and churches (400+ years) with big stone walls tend to be rather cool in summer (my parents house ground floor always stay under 25°C when properly used, even with temperatures

You certainly don't need weight to develop lower back strength. I'm currently seeing a physiotherapist once a week for lower back pains, which were directly related to lack of lower back strength and flexibility. Most of the exerc

This is not specific to UK, I'd hazard that the whole western world is like that. You litteraly cannot find ANY electronics shop in Paris (there were still a few ones a few years ago), and no one apart from some non-profits initiative

No this isn't. Without calling out names, the first one is a small localization platform (but seems to be a very prevalent issue in multiple APIs) and the second is an international hosting provider. Both are good enough for my case to

I was totally expecting to see something about using a protocol in an unexpected way, because "the protocol is not good enough". I had to work with an API where the company decided everything should return http code 200 (well, at

I'm guilty of that sort of thing as well (doing something complex without enough training to properly code it). Story time to drive home my points: I started 7 years ago, fresh out of uni with a diploma, but not enough experience, and

Don't know how that works out in Finland, but there are a few of those in Paris, and while they are just as good as those on the street at certain hours, at other hours they become overrun with inattentive pedestrians that confuse them

That's correct. adb doesn't give you root privileges. For example, you cannot install system apps with adb unless you have a rooted device already. You certainly have access to a lot of things with adb, but it can hardly be consid

That's absolutely true. To install apps without user prompt on Android, you need INSTALL_PACKAGE permission. Guess what? You cannot use that permission on third-party apps (meaning any app installed by the user, in opposition to apps t

No, and that's specifically what this ruling is about: a French person cannot demand that a Canadian company prevent Canadians from finding information about them. On the other end, a French person can demand that a Canadian company pr

You are not going to find anything in the GDPR that cleary state if IP are personal data or not, because the GDPR is tech-agnostic and thus doesn't use tech-specific terminology such as IP. Article 4 [1] states > ‘personal data’ mea

The author keep using the word "easy". I don't think we have the same definition of that word. A cursory read of the article is enough to gather a main point, which should be a disclaimer: it's aimed at medium/big c

The tone is excessive and over-the-top because it's the last of numerous documents over the years saying essentialy the same thing. And yeah, they are probably sick of supporting Python 2 because a few vocal users still complain a deca

In Python, mistyping a property of an object doesn't result in an exception. JS have the same behavior. If you mistype a property on a nullabe or already filled property of a model instance, Django will happily save the model with the

This thread is littered with people singing praise of Django's ORM. He is not the only one. I'm a huge proponent of it as well. > Could you share some resources of using it properly for advanced use cases? Good cookbooks etc. T

A lot of this is opinion. And a lot of people just don't agree, that's where the hate comes from. First, a lot of hate comes not from the language itself but from the ecosystem (though the ecosystem follows the ideology of the lan

Please don't do that. It makes recycling more costly, as the recycling factory have to spend more time sorting it, or just refuse recyclable garbage because it's mixed with non-recyclable and sorting is too costly.

I concur, everything on that list is recycled curbside in my city, Paris [0]. Those rules can evolve very fast, and unfortunately the communication is lacking. A lot of people still use the rules of several years ago, not recycling things t

The most important takeaway is not all the rambling on the EV, but the conclusion. I live in one of those dense cities (Paris), with bike lanes and good public transportation, with several micromobile electric transportation offerings, and

Same here, and I'll add ask questions (to yourself or whoever you can). Lots of questions. When there is something you don't understand, find out first. This is not limited to IT. You can also apply that to other domains.

Thanks! I'll definitely try that, since I only use Airdroid for SMS, and it has some issues (especially MMS that are not handled, and the link is often broken and don't reconnect automatically)

If you try to register multiple Gmail accounts from the same location (such as a public library), at some point Gmail will start to ask you for a phone number verification. This is something I saw a few years ago in France (before GDPR), th
