I'm working on a kind of human-curated recommendation engine for movies. As a movie buff, I'm often frustrated by the film recommendations apps that return results too out of context for me. I also find them quite depressing, they

As a french I'm accustomed with this point of view, but I think it is too often based on a false vision of what is France and what does french people truly want. France has not always been the country you describe. Even if France neve

Thanks. Huxley is much more relevant than Orwell, today. 1984 is a masterpiece but describes a stalinian totalitarism, which probably belongs to the past. Today, the threat is more diffuse and hides in mass entertainment, consumerism, etc.

That's wrong. Monoprix has indeed succeeded in its transformation by setting up in more wealthy areas (often under the "Monop'" name), but there is always a lot of stores, less trendy, in popular areas like Belleville an

He says he used wifi, TV, telephone, and asked for a better room. If he didn't ask for this, I think he wouldn't have pay anything. The French hospitals offer a lot of paid bonuses. I think it's a good thing, it allows to mak

Before, React projects evolved because they have to. They became too complex, to clumsy, etc. But now ? React is stable, the way to develop apps is well known, etc.

As a primarly backend dev, I'm very comfortable with React and I don't particularly want to switch to Vue.js. React says me : learn the HTML basics and then deal with abstractions (proof: React Native !). Vue.js says me : deal wit

New React projects are today much simpler, thanks to new libraries to manage state like Mobx, or efficient starter kits. So without denying the benefits you encounter with the migration to Vue.js, I think that a full rewrite of you React a

I believed the same thing until I try a tiling manager on Linux (i3). And today, Mac and Windows annoying. I have the feeling to lose my time each time I perform a simple task. I also dream of a mobile OS as smooth and fast as i3. Android i

I work full-time on my website since 6 months, after two years of development and growth when I was an employee. At first, it was only a little side-project so I haven't done anything to prepare my exit to entrepreneurship. I've

Mobx is a blessing ! I work on React only since a few months, I have a ton of subjects to learn, a ton of libraries to learn to how to use them. I really don't have time to learn a complex library like Redux. I tried, and learned its p

I read the same thing after the Paris attacks. Attacks caused 137 deaths and 368 injuries. This is low compared to the Paris population (2 million in the city, 10 million in the urban area). But personally, several friends were seriously in

"the language had a profound impact on me as a developer." I think Clojure will remain in the developer culture for that. Clojure will be recognized for its action in LISP resurrection and functional programming renaissance. It&#x

I also dropped Clojure/ClojureScript, even though it was my favorite language between 2012 and 2014/2015. The main reason for me is the progression of Java and JavaScript during these years, which make ClojureScript less useful. E

What do you think about the "Palais Chaillot", on the Trocadéro, in front of the Eiffel Tower ? Maybe it's timeless, but it's also charmless ... It has no soul, it's a classic/greek/renaissance pastiche li

This. Sim City 4 is maybe the only 3D management/strategy game I have loved. Unlike most 3D sequels of 2D games (like Rollercoaster Tycoon III, much more profound than the II, but vulgar, unattractive, charmless), Sim City kept all its

I started to learn Emacs with its native commands and shortcuts. But I switched to evil when I noticed than I was unable to memorize the shortcuts for some basic actions like "add a character to the end of each line". Today I use

Yes ! I highly recommand this plugin to those who are not familiar with the strange Emacs shortcuts ... but also to those who are not familiar with vim. evil-mode allows to learn Emacs and Vim at the same time, it's perfect for a begin

A city like Lille (or Strasbourg, Nantes, etc.) offers a much better quality of life but looks like to a small village regarding tech, in comparison to Paris. The business activity outside Paris in very weak. Few startups, few engineers, fe

You should try Luminus, which concentrates all the basic libraries for web development. Not as rich as Play! or Django but sufficient for doing a lot of things. It's also a great way to learn Clojure smoothly, it's far more acces
