Apart from Mozilla love, what are the good reasons to use Firefox on Android? I tried it, found it slower and less responsive than Chrome. But as this is a completely biased feeling, I'd love to know more.

There was a free one, I'm pretty sure. Not remember exactly which years but I remember my parents having to wait to get one (vs. paying and getting it immediately).

It's pretty hilarious situation after France denied fly-zone to the Bolivian Presidential aircraft this summer when they "feared" that Snowden might be inside... Voltaire said something like: "God, please protect me from

It's an impressive project that shows the extraordinary work of a single developer, Mike Pall. LuaJIT is not only an incredibly beautiful JIT, the current project also demonstrates it can run generated code efficiently, which is probab

Generally, yes. The quality of life in France is very high. If you are employed by a big company or the state, you can have a perfect life. But from the day you create a company, you discover problems one by one. My first startup was Frenc

What maz-dev does not tell is that even if an employee steals the coffee machine, you will have a very hard time firing him. I will cost you a lot upfront and the employee will most probably win in court so you will have to pay him even mor

Sadly, as a French entrepreneur, I would love to contradict you. But basically, you're right. It is much more difficult to create a startup in France rather than in the US for instance. Read PG's http://www.paulgraham.c

If it were a proper "Silicon Valley kid" who did that, you would applause loudly. Does it happen to you that there are talented geeks and developers in China. For one: http://agentzh.org/

Just looked up a real "sed" example in linux vs linux. DigitalOcean ships VM that don't have an admin group. So when I tried DO, I added: grep -q 'admin' /etc/group || groupadd admin Or, for changing the s

Problem is sometime platforms differ a bit, so it's better to patch the config file. For instance (I know there's vagrant and stuff), I develop on a Mac but deploy on linux. My sed handles that pretty well.

What seems to be missing is _updating_ the nginx.conf with sed or something. In the article, you're just copying a new magic configuration from somewhere vs. "proper" sed use (in reality, it can be a bit more than that) in th

Just so you know, OVH has just _halted_ its dedicated server offer. TL;DR from today's French blog post: Our offers were so competitive that too many customers wanted them, and we're loosing money if we don't keep customers f

Redis clustering and elasticity is still a work in progress. That said, when sharded or for single nodes, Redis is an outstanding tool, and their roadmap to distribution is very promising: http://redis.io/topics/cluster
