Yeah, no, you don't make a project open-source and expect people to improve it as much as you will. It just doesn't work like this. An open-source project is a burden, you probably won't gain anything from them, and will prob

> "You don't have to care if you don't have anything to hide" I never quite understood this argument. We have something to hide, that's the whole point. I don't want somebody to look at my phone messages.

I guess that capitainetrain is too much "France-centric" to be listed on businessinsider, despite it being a really clean product. I used to work at Sketchfab, which is another really interesting french startup which raised a few

To be honest, a simple Makefile is very simple to write and efficient once you know the syntax fairly well. Then you add more and more things as the time pass, and it starts to morph into a giant huge monster that eat puppies.

A good thing would probably to have a way to see the requests triggered by installed extensions. Even checking this list once in a while and manually reporting the suspicious ones with a "report" button would make these rogue exte

Maybe something like Wisembly[1] ? I worked there as an intern a few years ago, and the product (and team) was great. [1] http://wisembly.com/fr/

I made a voxel engine without using Three.js a few years ago[1] (well, the engine is rendering-agnostic, so I actually used Three.js, but only the really basic primitives, such as BufferGeometry). The issue wasn't so much WebGL perform

It's the same thing in France, but that's why the OP repo is great: you can see the actual change as a usual diff ( https://github.com/steeve/france.code-civil/commit/0d5337622... ). I'm not sure

And let's add some taunt in it: "[...] Github.com, and more specifically the tools allowing to easily bypass the chinese government censorship." I wonder what would happen with such a message.

The Color of Magic arc may be a bit boring at first. It took me some time to actually finish it. It worth the reading, but it might repel people who are not yet into Pratchett's writing style.

Small Gods is a nice standalone (despite being in the Discworld storyline, it is not really connected to the previous stories) about religion. Mort is another, talking about Death.

Small Gods was amazing. Thought-provoking moral hidden amongst good and subtle jokes. Hard to get into, but once you're in, you never leave. And to think that most of his books are like this. A great writer, really.

In science it may happen because everything is based on a lot of assumptions, themselves based on our physical perception of the world, which may be proved wrong later in time. Are mathematics subject to this kind of flaws ? There is a very

You made PortableApps ? I used it like seven years ago, and it was great - it helped me and a few others to learn programming on our school computers which, as you might guess, didn't have a lot of tools dedicated to that purpose.
