Not that I know of. At least, for French citizens, within the scope of identity checks ("contrôle d'identité"), you need to be able to prove your identity but there is no required list of established means to do so (and some

Talking of the syntax, I am a bit disappointed that it is similar to TeX's. In my opinion, TeX's style syntax is one of the most visible features that haven't stood the test of time (in comparison to, say, an XML-like syntax)

That's interesting. But even then, the argument would suggest that you let students take notes the way that works best for them, or just the way they prefer, no matter whether it's statistically less effective or not.

Having both used "technology" (laptops, phones) during classes as a student and taught to students which used them, I still can't make up my mind about this debate. Arguments for technology use: - There are legitimate uses of

This is an excellent point. The reason why the opposite view seems to make sense with smartphones is because in the current state of affairs they are not designed to be used without further manufacturer involvement (in fact they are activel

To be precise, the space before punctuation is of course non-breaking, and it is a narrow no-break space (i.e., thinner than a usual space) in careful typography (e.g., LaTeX with "\usepackage[francais]{babel}" does it). (Another

A very cool thing with Anki (with contrast with Duolingo) is that it is free software (as in free speech), and is distributed on F-Droid https://f-droid.org for Android users who do not have Google play.

Drawing inspiration from the original tetris, maybe the legibility could be improved by having some sort of grid-like background (maybe the height of cells could not be uniform but higher for the closer ones?), and cell-by-cell transitions

I don't find it much fairer to retribute users that work for you using a currency that only makes sense in the universe that you designed and own. Ideally, users should be cautious in choosing the projects to which their dedicate their

The error message is unhelpful and requests the user to submit a bug report. I would argue this is not good behavior no matter how absurd the input is.

Freenet is not really good. For what I know, it is heavy, slow, doesn't work that well in practice, and has a huge and old codebase. What is more, it includes a lot of bells and whistles but (for all I know) doesn't separate clean

The reasons why it's better or why it's not solving the same problem should probably be listed on that page. There is an oblique reference to MessagePack but no clear comparison with it.
