Hey ! I kind of did this transition recently from Literature grad to developer. I don't know if you had the same experience but I think for me the key to succeeding in this transition was to try and learn not only to 'code',

It is somewhat inevitable, but the problem we see here, I believe, is about the magnitude of this rise. I don't believe housing should be a _completely_ free market : investors should be regulated out of the tense areas (except of cour

However, if per convention you state that a branch going under review must always be rebased to the latest commit of [your main branch], you will be reviewing all at once the code that will effectively be merged (by a simple fast-forward),

That's a very enlightening bit, especially for people who are not used to negotiate stuff all year round. For me it boils down to this : I try to be as comfortable walking away as I would be accepting an offer. Otherwise I just don&#x2

Ride-sharing is not tolerated, it's specifically authorized by law - with a legal framework to make it viable. What's more or less tolerated (for now) is some ride-sharing drivers inflating prices above the legal limit to make a s

I'm sad to say, quite painful. A sibling mentioned the housing problem. There's also the immigration problem. If you're in France on a visa, you'll have to renew it every year. To do that, take a day off to go through a

Tax reductions schemes are mostly abused AFAIK. Very few startups do anything resembling actual R&D, but they still use the tax schemes, which could be risky in case of tax audit. Anyway, most early startups won't benefit from that

It's not quite as detailed as yours, but I use a "trick" of the same kind to chase those obsessive thoughts. I see myself on top of a miles high cliff, standing next to a safe. I somehow extirpate the thought by breathing it

I for one, completely agree with you. Now this is purely anecdotal, but then again everything in this debate seems to be. I've only been driving for 7 years, but already had several benign accidents (no casualties or whatever, only som

There are many more than that though. Basically you can draw a line from Congo to Algeria, and every country west of that line speaks French. There are 4 exceptions : Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone. That still leaves a huge pool o

I wonder if these kind of stats are available for players of past eras. I would be fascinating to see what Pelé or Maradona would look like compared to Messi ! It is true, though, that you only really become a football legend when you win t

The same thing happens in Paris, where about 15% of flats are said to be empty. In central areas, 25% to 30% are empty. There has been some talk about new laws to fight off this rampant death of the city but nothing was enacted so far. I th

Yeah this popup really lacks a way to accept/refuse some permissions based on what seems logical for the app. I would typically uncheck a lot of permissions on some apps, but since I can't do that I'll just click through if I

I actually submitted the article to initiate such a talk. The article failed to convince me completely, but it did make me think about the place of slide-in menus, since I consider hiding UI elements to be generally bad practice.
