You touch an important point. I'm in the process of winding down an app that relies on scraping a variety of badly formed data - there is commercial interest, but it is really difficult for me to make people pay for something if I can&

I agree a bit more information about yourself and your plans would be interesting. It doesn't have to be much, you can look at what other publishers are doing in this space. For example Mothership Zeta [0] which is positionning a bit d

Anecdotally, that's how we hired our designer - her last "mockup" project matched exactly what we were working on next - the hiring process was super fast, and there are a lot of benefits to hiring someone who has already spe

It is more burdenful than costly though - compared to the costs of hiring and keeping employees in the US, I think the costs are competitive.

That's a valid problem. If you look beyond startups, the french economy is mostly benemoth (think Total, Bouygues, etc) and small shops (your local boulangerie). There aren't that many mid-size successful companies - even less so

Fwiw most of my iPad dev time I spend in a terminal (I use the one bundled in coda) working on a remote machine. Being able to have a split screen between a terminal and safari actually sounds like it could actually be enough for me most of

I really wish they'll upgrade keyboard navigation (whether scrolling or selecting items, etc) - I've started relying on my iPad more and leaving my computer at the office, and it's fine for most tasks with a keyboard except w

Although this merger seems to be mostly about infrastructure, I wonder how it will impact applications groups (documentum, captiva, etc) within the organization - there doesn't really seem to be a well defined place for them (disclosur

OS X makes progress with every release on this front. I typically test it with a few tricky french sentences (think "les poules du couvent couvent") and it seems to improve, but it's hard to say from the outside what gets bet

That's an interesting point. I hadn't considered the impact of ondemand updates to future abandonware - looks like another case where pirated illegal versions might have better preservation than official ones.

The register's title [1] is a bit more brutal - I wonder how this investment will spread among committers, tooling etc.... From an open source platform perspective, it raises interesting questions in terms of finding the right balanc

Well done, this is actually well executed and quite useful to quickly check translations for menus, dialog boxes and so on

I think it's great to see museum thinking more about long term storage of digital art - this is a topic that I believe will become more important in the 10 years to come, as more artist create digital or online works of art - there mig

That is largely correct. One way to look at the french state is that it is more worried about maintaining order than serving justice. And historically, the population has largely supported this stance. (unfortunately imo)

I've been following the debate in France, and the political response to concerns about the new surveillance law has been extraordinarily tone-deaf - the parliament has been very much in a "you're either with us or you're

Thanks for the insights - Digging into it, my first install was standalone and failed for no proper reason (trying to run guacamelee from the humblebundle - no meaningful error message was given). Steam games seem to fail whenever something

How would you go about running steam on X.IO ? do you have to "Appetize" steam or the game itself ?

Ahem - a bit late to this thread, but any pointer as to how to run a steam app with amazon appstream ? I've tried installing both games from humblebundle packages and steam + one game, but it seems to fail to properly package the app a

I had the same experience, anathem took me 4 tries, but eventually I got through the first 200 pages and then thoroughly enjoyed it.

Yep - a review API is sorely missing - we've built a tool to enable reviewers to download their own reviews [1], and had to workaround many weirdness in the review system. I would say that besides obvious fraud detection, it is an unde

I use Uber in Paris - I've always wondered what the insurance was for Uberpop - and although outright banning it may be too extreme, I'm happy to see this part of the "sharing" economy more regulated. I think Uber still

Nice app - saves the hassle looking for hi-res art. Would love the ability to add a folder of my own images, to mix it up a bit.
