I'm wondering about those 0.5% who refused to relicense. What would be the rational behind refusing such a change. I can understand refusing for a project to be relicensed under a very different license but not between GPLv2 and GPLv2+

Oh, I actually didn't know that by signing such a document the employee would sign away their right to full unemployment benefits. That's a very good point. I've just checked and, in France (where he is from originally), when

Well, at least it seems to be a fair way to do it. He says to give minimum 6 month of severance package and to give a good reference if everything went well. The thing is even in other situations someone suing his employer is never going to

I went to an top ranked university (so called Grande Ecole) in my country. Since I graduated, I've never really had a use for the prestige of my university. Of course, part of the reason is that I've worked almost exclusively abro

In my apartment building there's an apartment that is rented out through Airbnb. There's also an apartment rented out to two students... We have a lot more issues with those two students and their friends than with all of the Airb

Well yes but it's also what they did that's a bit of an issue. The roundup ready crops are crops that are engineered to be resistant to the Roundup herbicide which is a bit more iffy than the example given in the article of a eggp

I blame monsanto for the G.M.O. hysteria, they gave G.M.Os a bad name and now people who call themselves environmentalists behave irrationally because they can't be bothered to look past the name and actually look at the facts... In a

I wouldn't say either that a Rails app is low level. Developing a rails app that can handle really high level of traffic does need a lot of specialized and deep knowledge.

No I didn't, but then I do have to say it's not a huge sample size (6 people altogether 3 from Grande Ecoles, 2 from Supinfo, 1 EPITA) but the effect of lack of actual practical experience and slowness due to that was flagrant for

I come from a French grande ecole but from my experience, I prefer people coming out of Supinfo and Epita/Epitech than people fresh out of a French Grande Ecole. The problem of most people coming out of grande ecoles is that they lack

I didn't know gun ownership in Germany was that high, anecdotically, the only people I know with a gun over there keep it in the hunting/shooting club and not at home (It's more of a gun used for sport than for protection). I

Sure, it might be a selection bias, I was a student in all three cases and, by definition, students tend to be more educated. What I mean by external factor is the laws, the way the criminal system is setup, the lack or not of reinsertion o

I've spent quite some time in Germany and well I'm sorry to shatter your bubble but Germans do cross an empty street when the light is red. I've even seen people party in nightclubs and go outside to drink vodka or other drin

I'd love to be able to reassign some keys. I use colemak and for example h,j,k,l need to be reassigned to actually be usable (otherwise, the layout hardly makes sense).

I strongly recommend reading all of his books. They are very clear and non boring and the knowledge you get from understanding them is really the basics of what any programer should know I believe (well except maybe for the distributed syst

Unless I'm very confused, there wasn't any kickstarter for Spacebase DF-9. Just the initial investment and then the early access sales. The first two weeks of the early access sales recouped the $400k investment from Indie Fund an

That's interesting, I've switched back to Firefox because Chrome was getting slower and currently for my usage (I tend to have 100+ tabs open) under Yosemite, Firefox wins hands down compared to Safari and Chrome. I thought that t

Well, I'm French and have a much easier time with spelling in English than in French... Joke aside, I guess having multiple sequence of characters map to the same sound have more of an effect on making spelling difficult. While I think

In term of spelling French is much worse than English. I wonder how they compare in term of education level. My anecdotal experience living and going to school in both England and France as a kid leads me to believe that the level of Britis
