It's the reason why, like many here, I have never bought a Samsung Android device (with the exception of the old Galaxy Nexus which was clear from Samsung total software crap). They tend to provide good hardware features (waterproof, c

Good work, congrats! I played with the same idea a few years ago, but never went that far :) cf. https://github.com/hbbio/webshell

I can assure you that CC payments in France are everywhere (and not only in Paris). I also regularly travel to Italy, and agree with you: Cash is preferred once you cross the border.

The rendering of another open source project in the "TeX-made-after-Y2K" category, Patoline, is much more appealing: http://patoline.org/patobook.pdf

It doesn't turn like Yahoo. Yahoo made the super wise decision to buy part of Alibaba a few years ago, and now the whole Yahoo is worth nothing more than its share of Alibaba!

Just a reminder in this case: EU prices include the VAT (near 20% in many cases), while in the US the state tax (often 10%) is not included in public prices.

In French, Mosh is exactly pronounced as "moche" which means ugly. Of course, this doesn't change anything in the project interest!

Funny it sounds like Opa (opalang.org). That said, there is already openresty http://openresty.org which is an incredibly well-managed project, plus Lapis which also seems right in many aspects http://leafo.net/l

Within five years, the iPhone 10 or so will probably have heat sensors (and many others) built in!

Microsoft raised just $1M. Ok, it's off-topic as this was in 1981, but the valuation is way north of $1bn...

As you say in one of the slides, the main difficulty of iOS programming is the API. You're presenting mainly the language, which makes senses but might be already ticking boxes with at least part of the audience here which is already f

When reading both stories, I can't help but think the greatest problem with Python 2/3 is that there are supporters of both and that it splits somehow (not necessarily evenly) the community. JavaScript, in the meantime, buried its

By curiosity I went to your website http://www.tryton.org/ It doesn't even have a screenshot, and the main description does not tell clearly what it is. The only apparent link beside the menu bar is "Validate HTML

Very interesting. There might be an architecture problem here. Another solution is to use a proxy to block ads, like GlimmerBlocker for OSX. But I didn't investigate memory usage, though I tend to think it will be lower (plus have the

Almost incredible. An extract (translated to English): "no hyperlink TO [our site] can be done without prior agreement". I hope they're suing Google too :)

We're in the email space too (in Europe). While I agree with the user need, convincing corporation managers (aka CIOs) to use "fancy" email tools is extremely hard and probably the main reason Outlook sticks around. Unless yo

We are launching an offer in that space very soon. Our site (currently only in French), http://mlstate.com shows a bit the solution we're building. Expect much more news before this summer.

Same goes for conference badges, which is similar. There is dedicated hardware (printer that fits the size of the badge) which is sold together with its accompanying software. Consider that programming it made you learn new things!

Have to agree with you. I bought ST just like many friends did. Sublime may be selling about as much as RubyMotion, which invested the proceeds in hiring very few, high-level coders that seem to be fully inline with the founder/origina
