Not sure if it counts as ui buy it is for me the only non frustrating way to search anything in my filesystem: grep and find in the terminal.

"although Emmanuelle Loyer makes a case for Lévi-Strauss as a contemporary – and he has been canonized by the Greens – he has come to rest, rather, as a giant figure in the French cultural tradition: a monument to another time." A

Yes, I had this issue when working for some administrative software, and other problems like what date of birth do you input for the many people which have unknown date of birth? I have also seen many handwritten "identification papers

Where? And, well..., I don't know for translations but, read in French, Sade's books are never boring. They are extremely attractive from a stylistic point of view, but the theme and the story are utterly repulsive. It's just

Agree that wechat and the like are going against the grain of the open nature of internet, but one positive side effect of wechat is that it will force many service and content to develop simple web apps instead of mobile apps, because it i

Except if your weight sensor if the first thing that breaks when the machine gets old. I think all this is completely over the head. Say what maybe 3 machines exploded? That's far below the "noise" you have in every thing, it

Keeping choices open for the future is one good reason to use Firefox. My main reason to use Firefox on all my devices is because it is much better than Chrome. It has more predictable behavior, it does not require to be connected to a majo

I think the good question would be: say you are Google and accidentally lost your code base (I heard it's a java monolith with around 5000 major intricate dependencies, something unsplittable). How would the Google eng team rewrite Goo

"Refuse to update" well yes, I would too, refuse to do something that is notoriously breaking a lot of working stuff for no known benefit. For example java applets developped for IE6 that is vital, because it drives the 10 years o

I'm surprised there is no polyfill-like thing for flexbox, or is there?

"the lack of trust is at the core of the Chinese society" you get it completely wrong. It is the opposite actually. People trust each others to "give back" and that's why guanxi are very effective. That's also

Agree with you, this is one of the "myth" about China. It seems particularly mysterious to North Americans, but in old Europe everyone knows that the bosses of the big corporations play golf together every sunday and solve their p

Yes, I know, but still it is a problem, is it not? I feel that in the USA many people are very careful to not hurt the feelings of some minorities inside the country, which is done with good faith even if sometime it becomes very difficult

Uh, the title is ambiguous, is it about America the two continents? North America the continent? Or about the U.S.A., the nameless, official-language-less country? I know of many South Americans who would prefer the ambiguity to be solved s

I'm over forty now and I am only starting to read the books we were assigned to read at school, e.g. Stendhal, Flaubert, Dostoevsky and the likes. In fact I guess I read these books as a kid but got nothing out of them, except grades.

People seem to have forgotten that MicroSoft was a gigantic threat to our industry, and still is. It owns 98% PCs world wide. What would we think if 98% of gaz stations worldwide where belonging to one company? That would be dangerous, righ

The philosophy of the origins in the West and in the East did not care even a little bit about "man" or "God". It did care a lot about how to live together. It was mostly about morals and politics. I think today philosop

I replaced react-router with route-recognizer. The later is a simple tool your code is using, has proper documentation and stability, and do not get in the way of automated tests with jest. But react-router changed too much (i.e. removed na

As an employer I would be negatively surprised if a candidate for FE never heard of react, angular, etc. But I also see a red flag of the candidate were to assure me to be knowing all of them bottom up. That would mean a lot of toy projects

"dynamic" cannot be used in a pejorative way? That's a nice challenge. What about "dynamic" accounting (similar to "creative" accounting)? or "dynamic" application of the Law? Some things (not a

You probably do not have the complexity level of these companies either. To me js and css are kind of manageable, a bit the same way as python: use strongly enforced linters forbidding anything ambiguous, do not jump every other day in a ne

And? Do you mean that the "border" do not look very "straight"? Then the Malouines islands should belong to Argentine, right? And Alaska to Canada, and Monaco to France, and Antartica to the pinguins...

Do you mean that China has no right to "ambitions"? If you check your history books you'll see that China has lost an enormous chunk to USSR and to other countries when she was weak. Now she is stronger and will not let anyon

I would really love to agree because I hate ms so much, but sadly it's false: every time I use libreoffice, it's because I need to open a doc or ppt sent to me, and the layout is messed it's barely readable
