Mostly from a less-dev error standpoint but I think you gain in cybersecurity as well, as the language won't let you write code that accesses memory in places it's not supposed to.

Just get a USB-C portable monitor (e.g. Asus Zenscreen) and you can use it with any laptop.

Or just buy a portable monitor (i.e. Asus Zenscreen). It's bigger (15 inch), cheaper (less than $150), easier to use (just one USB-C cable). And if we compare it to the Zenbook Duo, when your laptop becomes obsolete you can just buy an

Joel Spolsky was in the business of selling versions of his software. A lot of businesses nowadays are selling subscriptions to saas software, and the sales dynamic is very different.

It has nothing to do with labor laws, it's more about lack of investors. Many tech companies started in Europe, got successful then moved to US because they could not longer find big enough investors in Europe. Google only did layoffs

We need to stop talking about "Europe" in general for things as country-specific as labor laws and unions.

What I'm wondering is: if I want to use Google Calendar and Google Maps, do I get any benefit in using a "deGoogled" Android? Or by activating the Play Store and installing a couple Google apps, am I negating all the privacy

The thing about Europe is that it's large and diverse, you can't generalize by saying "in Europe". There are a lot of pickpockets in Paris, I've never been victim of it but I've witnessed it several time. Never

Yes Parisians are dicks to other French people too - including Parisians. It's not about Parisians ignoring foreigners because they don't speak the language, it's about Parisians ignoring people.

This is true in every touristic place, not just in France. Many people will get annoyed by tourists who don't even try to say "hello" or "thank you" in the country they're visiting. And they don't even mak

The first time I went to US, I was pretty confident in my English but natives didn't understand me. I could repeat the same, grammatically correct sentence 3 times and they still wouldn't get it. Then I realized that in English (e

But then the 10k is meaningless. "Anyone who can convince the Lego Group", that could be said of any product/company! It's like saying "anyone who can convince Netflix can launch a new TV Show".

I think it's the other way around. When you want to layoff a large number of people: RTO will increase the number of employees quitting so you don't have to layoff as many When starting a company: WFH means you don't need off

Yes I checked container tabs, but they still don't fix my issue. - I click on a Google Doc work link from Slack, I want it to open in my work profile - I click on a Google Doc link from the WhatsApp desktop app, I want it to open in my

Yes but that doesn't help for domains that I use for both profiles. Typically Google, when I click on a Google Doc I need to be able to decide to open it in my personal or pro account. With Chrome it goes to the last focused window so

The problem is that it took so much time for Firefox to improve performances and implement process per tab that by the time they finally did it, even the more hardcore geeks had switched to Chrome.

by eloisant 3y ago
The way profiles (or tab containers) work in Firefox sucks compared to Chrome honestly. I could never find a way to open in the correct profile from external applications.

You're right. And I'm not even talking about how the Paris metro is narrow, dark and stinky. The Paris area train system (if you consider metro + other trains) is reliable inside Paris, and the very close suburbs, but as you get f

Yes they need to change their name. Having "Open" in their name is just a big marketing lie.

No, DailyMotion (and probably others) existed before Youtube and worked just as well. They simply lost at the "winner takes all" market share war.

That's not true, many companies use a background check company (like ClearStar) after you sign your offer and they check that you do have the diplomas you claim.

That's because things that were made with Frontpage back in the day are not made in HTML/React/GraphQL today. They're made with Wordpress, Squarespace, etc.

They also have a big TV screen next to the speaker so when you ask them what they have on the menu they can simply show you. You can also see your order filling up so you can check it's correct. Honestly, McDonalds is not the best food

Sadly the kiosk also forces you to tap the "no" button on the screen for multiple extras. One screen at a time.

If it can pass it when you ask it in a way only a coder can write, then we will still need coders. If you need to tweak your prompt until you get the correct result, then we still need coders who can tell that the code is wrong. Ask Product

Anti-trust laws are crucial for a well functioning capitalism. Without them, power eventually gets concentrated into few companies holding monopolies, while the fundamental of capitalism is competition. The problem is anti-trust laws have n
