I still have PSP v7 installed. Using it as an image viewer and photo editor almost daily. I'm also using it to draw in vector mode. It's so fast, so lightweight, and so fully featured.

As a French living in France: this is neither happening nor debated here. There are currently numerous demonstrations, going on for weeks, against the latest neo-liberal labor-bill from the government. Nothing about off-hours emails, sorry.

To my knowledge, Neo4j has been working on performances a lot . Neo4j v2.2+ does a much better job with large-scale graphs. The use-case you describe (a couple million nodes + edges) sounds like a fairly reasonable task for Neo4j. If Neo4j

You comment is actually pretty interesting. I see a lot of French people convinced that France is worse than anywhere else in the world. Everything that is done in France is seen as "not good enough" by many French. It's an a

If you look at the rent, Paris is actually much cheaper than London, NYC and SF. You could go to Berlin of course. Frankly, if you are an early stage startup with young people Paris is not the cheapest, but you have access to everything: pu

I guess it depends on where you work, like all countries. I have the exacts same experience as you working at a NYC insurance company (9 to 5 then go home). I also know at lot of companies here (in France) where people work their asses off

So as to make things clear, UberPop has been outlawed in France months ago but keeps operating. The fines are considered "operating costs" by UberPop, who takes care of paying the fines when UberPop drivers are getting caught. You
