It's not exclusive. I know many startups who have one foot in the states, one foot in China (when some hardware is needed), and the head in France.

Backend is the correct term: C is by no mean an IR which means "intermediate representation", from which you can more or less easily understand the thing behind the code (eg: types, control flow, variable bindings). An IR is a da

I believe that only services hosted on the French ground are eligible to the French law. Also, showing the link but not the content is a smart move because it doesn't prove that the author looked for the content of these documents, whe

I am pretty certain that the economical point of view diverge a lot between countries. France, UK, Italy and Germany all have common cultural roots but very different opinions about how economy should serve society. Thus, I think that the m

Funny, it's point-by-point exactly the line of the french eco channel BFM Business (which, I concede, is my main and only source in term of economics matters). I am curious, are you also a listener of this channel ? If not, what medias

I know it's not the HN guideline to thanks, but crap. Thank you for your exceptionally well sourced comment. I wish I had something like pocket for the youtube videos so that I could watch them during transit.

I don't think it's possible to generate a general parser for the Journal Officiel in an afternoon. It would make the author a _very_ efficient worker.

by mackwic 12y ago
Same here. Diffs published from the Journal Officiel aren't so easy to parse. I am afraid it could be manually generated, which is a dead end.

I think it's time to dig this: http://yarchive.net/comp/linux/x86.html When Linus worked at Transmeta, doing a weird kind of processors and x86 was considered "a charming odity that works well".

Technically, it doesn't. In practice, using a unified and polished interface like Github make things easier.

I had many SIGABRT with my vim config under the hideous non-posix Terminal.app. Sometimes a SIGSEGV. With neovim, gone. Never had any. Also, it's a bit faster (very noticeable with CtrlP).

Great answer, and I agree with you. As a practicer it doesn't really matters as long as you get your dose of well-beingness. I was more thinking of all the "train yourself to meditate" thing which can end with more frustratio
