I do not think this article is very insightful, but I love this quote: "How should I manage my hacker? The same way you herd cats."

Ubuntu gnome is more similar to the "simplicity" of windows XP than vista, win7 and win10. The changes of windows are too big and too fast for old users. My mother is still on ubuntu 14.04 to keep this stability.

I have quit Microsoft for Linux 8 years ago. I do the remote administration of the computer I have installed for my old mother since 5 years. At home, there are 3 Linux computers, one of them has a dual boot to Microsoft. My cloud website i

The Ada95 standard was covering a language far more rich than C++98 (it included all multitasking and did not rely on C standard). Its level of clarity and concision is incredible compared to C++98. Both languages were comparable at that ti

And Russians are using products produced by Google, the same Google that has deep relationship with government and military contracts. With your reasoning, every countriy should ban products of GAFA.

Often I hear about people who refuse some contract because of ethical reserves. But, we should have more people with ethical sensibility working on military projects, not less. If the only people working on military projects are sociopaths,

The fact that big companies are using CIR as a mean to get money from the government does not imply that it does not work for real research companies.

The difference between scenarios is that God is God, the one that may have created everything including your cat or at least (the other extreme of God definition for believers) the "thing" that differentiates love from a chemical

Very insightful and it matches very well my experience where it is easier for me to complete a task when I have also other tasks in progress.

Perl is a little older than Python. Most of the ideology of Python was a reaction against Perl ( https://wiki.python.org/moin/TOOWTDI ). Python has always tried to be as good as Perl on everything. I use very much Perl f

You care about the things you love. The single "human-like" trait of my reasoning is to be able to love. I do not like the "human-like" term because it involves so many negative connotations. If God is perfect, I can no

Taking as an axiom that God exists and loves us, we can deduce that God wants us to be free because you do not want someone you really love to be your slave. If there was a way to prove the existence of God, we would not be free to believe

I have the opposite opinion. I have seen developers proudly putting /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash, without any other shell to test. When the script was run on ubuntu instead of redhat, this called dash and we discovered t

In A both the interviewer and the interviewee are giving a similar amount of time. In C, only one is giving time. To compensate, the other should give money.

I have a desktop. The first thing I test after installation of Ubuntu is the remote access using ssh, then the wakeonlan, then the remote access using vnc (already painful with 16.04), then the sharing of hard disk directories. Finally, I t

When sleep schedule is completely broken, 20mn sport just after wake up in the morning is a good way to fix it. Normally, 10 days of regular schedule with sport in the morning is enough. You can stop sport after if you do not like it.

Your comment resonates a lot with me. The bottom-up approach is my favorite, but I think most people are more top-down. When a project has unit tests, its architecture is more pleasant for me. There is also less coupling between classes, th

I love my palm III xe. My single application is to record go games (I still use it). A friend had bought one and was using it to take notes during meetings. I think it was a good product with a small market and with no obsolescence (my palm

There are so many factors to take into account. When you buy, you buy generally bigger than what you would rent because you buy for the future, you rent for the present. Bigger houser means also more maintenance costs and more taxes. Inflat

In France, I have noticed that journalists often say they were very weak in mathematics. Probably there is some kind of education effect that drives smart people weak in mathematics toward journalism. People opinion is very much influenced

I think the point is not to become a chip producer, but to cut a hard point of dependency. My point is easier to understand for software development. Imagine a society outsourcing 100% of its software development. If it has a problem with a

We have a legal system that contains far too many greys areas. It is not clear if Amazon is using legal loopholes or deserve fines. I see the legal system as something always getting more bloated and more complex. Evidence of its malfunctio
