Take a good lawyer, accountant. I am French and created two companies in UK (Ltd) and one in Germany (GmbH). In theory, UK was better, in practice, because I live in Germany, the GmbH is more convenient. Also, a lot of your optimisations ar

From the review, they found 2986 unique papers on the subject, they then assessed 91 papers from the 2986. From these 91, only 1 had a rigorous double blind testing but on only 46 people. The exposures for the light source was 2500 lux, IR

The cipher list is effectively a big issue. When using the good old Sun Fortran compiler, I was used to have a -fast flag which would be smart to detect the hardware and be as fast as possible while respecting the IEEE maths (as far as I

I am not using a lot of modern Fortran, so what I learnt was more small things here and there distilled over the years. This is mainly because my code in Fortran is just the hard science, the resolution of equations, and it is then used as
