In January I got a 6.2% raise after having my salary practically frozen by COVID but apparently inflation has already caught up with it. :/

Wow, what a way to treat your customers... In general I think punishing mostly innocent individuals for a decision made by their government is a terrible way to proceed. Furthermore with the 1-week notice you're literally urging people

Honestly, the "speaking French" part is overrated. Especially in Paris we have tons of immigrants from all over the (francophone) world and a sizable portion of them have an accent at least to us. Yet people won't look down s

I did this in 2008 when on a trip in my home country where network coverage was so bad and power sockets so rare that a smartphone was basically useless and more likely stolen from you if you show people you have one. After that that, my cy

Yeah I used to have that problem too. But still, if your future employers are smart enough and are interested in you, they should be able to select their preferred language if you have a bilingual profile... But yeah, it may not pass automa

In France, it is the case but strangely what we hear and read on the news is often the case of homeowners being unable to access their homes[1] or having tenants not pay their rent and not being kicked out[2]. Either way people will use the

Whenever I can, I apply using the easy-apply. That is because so I'm led to think uploading and typing my own resume on their hiring portal means a net waste of time since screening is most likely automated and while it took you 15 min

Wouldn’t it be easier to apply for an investor visa? There are quite a bunch of businesses you can start with a fraction of your yearly compensation.

My colleagues wrote PyF, using the same idea of code written in boxes that you link together. It saved all code blocks in an XML file. We used it on financial data. One of our programs was so complex that we fell back on using a text editor

You really think it'd be that easy? Europeans, especially France and the UK backed off from that part of Africa mostly because they don't want massive uncontrolled immigration. For over 50 years now France has been corrupting thos

Be happy it's only backwards from 10 to 99. Have you checked Malagasy? We read the numbers totally backwards although we've switched to the Latin alphabet like 200 years ago... It's sometimes so inconvenient for everyday life

Similar to the Zwanzigeins movements, in Malagasy, we have people who'd wish to reverse the counting pronunciation, although in the public sphere it is virtually unheard of. I remember debating on forums on how practical that would be.
