That’s a very misinformed comment. Healthcare is free in France, and only some edge cases are not covered. Even when not covered you have doctors that offer you the consultation for free (happened to me a few times). The problem lies in the

Ridiculous comment. The Japanese writing system as a lot of issues, but visual elegance is not one of them. On the contrary the mix of different kind of characters is really convenient to easily parse sentences and give limited information

It wasn’t such a bad fit for Vietnamese, whose syllabic structure is basically the same as Chinese languages. Actually Han and Chu Nom were used for a way longer time than Quoc Ngu is. And the change to a latin based alphabet is more due t

I checked the origin of the project and it seems to be an European grant to a few universities working on Semantic Web. Given the track record of this technology I’ll pass my turn. Neither the home page nor the doc provide any compelling ar

As a resident in Japan, I was thinking about putting online a small website to sell some items (not candies) to Europe and US residents, however a friend warns me it would not be as easy as I think. Could you give me some info about how you

Other languages have for most part a good standard library. In C# for instance you can make a small/medium project with only a few third party libraries because the base class libraries (BCL) contains lot of data structures and classes

The "containers are just XX Linux technology" comes regularly in the comments but it’s untrue: Windows containers are obviously not based on any Linux tech proper. Also the overhead intuition exists for a reason: on both macOS and

No. Xamarin focuses on mobile apps, not desktop. Also, you have to chose between Forms which is ugly everywhere, and Native which require a non trivial understanding of each underlying platform.

PWA are multiplatforms while C# still hasn't a first party multiplatform GUI toolkit. Which is shame, because the dev experience in XAML+C# is really good, and Silverlight out of Browser was exactly that.

The goal is not to fight the epidemic, it’s probably to track: (1) current social networks talk about the no-go zones that don’t respect confinement, and (2) see if any Gilets Jaunes 2.0 or any revolutionary groups is forming. The risk is r

To put things into perspective, a 3 months internship in France (which are usually imposed as part of master degree) is paid approximately 1650€ (1800 USD), for the whole internship. Yes, that doesn’t even pay a rent.
