This article actually made me think quite a bit! I'll read it again an do the math when I'll search for a new place to live, and when I'll have some cash to invest.

I really like Blizzard's solution : {$Username}#{$number} is very practical! It complicates thing a bit when you want to share your contact info to a friend, or when you try to remember a specific battletag, but it solves the uniquenes

It might be a bit early to accuse Walaroo of wasting money into "fun for coders" and ignoring the market's actual needs. When I read their blog, I get the feeling that they are thinking things through. They seem to target a s

I think we are taking this the wrong way. The situation is "we more or less blamed Mirai on a State sponsored actor", and we focus our attention on "hey, you were wrong! How dare you suspect foreign governments? That's k

TL;DR: I lived this situation on a shitty firm. It's depressing. But "good" firms do exist, don't lose hope! I lived this situation : I got hired as a developer and got involved into making the product better and improvi

The RRNoise suppression is less appealing to my ear than the Speex suppression... But: - the approach is pretty cool! - as mention in the article, it might be very useful when applied to multiple speakers (conferencing) - it might be very i

This is a smart thing to do! I might do it eventually... not right now though, because of <insert whatever reason you can think of here>, and stuff, you know.

My contract specifies a 7.5h workday... But I do only 6h/day, and so do most of my colleagues. I am very lucky: I live in France, this country has a strong culture of "stay late at work and the boss will like you", yet my fir

I am a big fan of Agility, mostly because it is simple to understand, thus relatively simple to apply (provided that the workplace is open-minded enough). I really like the "Keep It Super Simple" mojo of the Agile Manifesto. Expe
