All right, a lot of people have commented about bad experiences with free transportation. I had a good one about free buses: I lived for a couple years in the north of France in Compiegne (where the ww2 armistice was signed). Buses were fre

I used it a couple months ago for my girlfriend's resume ( http://rachelsmuseum.com/ ). The big problem is that it does not work at all on small screens/tablets/phones. The resume is not super practical, but I

I believe this is dependent on the teacher, I've had two teachers in France in my senior year. The first one was definitely of the "swallow and regurgitate what I tell you", while the second one was angry at students rereading notes before

I don't think it's really cheaper than making your own food. If you buy it for a month and you eat it three times a day, it ends up being about $2.5 per meal, or $7.5 a day. My breakfast costs me $.5 to $1, so that leave $3.5 per meal. It's

Maybe that only applies to my specific field, working in tech is a lot more exciting here.

The same thing happened in New Jersey, but the state took the matters in hand, and effectively suspended the cameras last summer ( http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/06/is_your_local_red_l... ). I was flashed in Newark, after a very shor

I'm French living in Jersey. I have been to San Francisco, even though it's blatant when you walk here, everywhere in the US I have that feeling that the poor are really forgotten. And they live in third-world country conditions. In France,

I made a kind of todo/list pet project with html5 local storage earlier. All the front end was based on that storage, then it was only a matter of syncing. To do that I kept a queue in local storage, that I only emptied after a successful s

Causality dilemma? People who get married young are different from those getting married later. The age at which people get married is more a reflection of a life style, than what drives a particular life style; which is what this article s

The exact same thing happened to me with http://viadeo.com/ , a linkedin clone pretty popular in France. The way it was worded hinted that I could chose from contacts who were on both my gmail contacts and viadeo users to connect with the

From my point of view, the min-heap is appropriate to pop/peek the min value (O(1)), but how do you 'peek' the first 5 values for instance? This is a valid min-heap: (5 ((7 (9, 10)), (8 (11, 12)))). Where in (a (b, c)) b and c are children

The optical fiber network in France is actually way better than in the US. And it only costs ~32 euros a month with Free with triple play. Certainly cheaper than the ~100 usd it costs with Verizon (+ bs additional costs). I pay 56 usd here

I have been using Free for years, and now that I moved across the pond, I can safely say that Free is at least on par with Verizon for Youtube, probably better. And if we simply ignore the Youtube issue, Verizon is years behind Free, there

It's mostly Google adsense and Youtube ads. People say it's because of peering issues between Free and Youtube. It's surprising considering that Free is the one french ISP that had always had his shit together, I guess the discussion is bec

boottheme.com does a good job. It's a 'wysiwyg' editor of the bootstrap less variables, and that includes border-radius.

I think I'd go as far as to say that I respectfully disagree with the article and agree with you.

I agree that the main issue is calling it a startup. But I see nothing wrong with redoing something existing. I've been working on something similar just for the sake of having something to code on, and trying out a couple framework/technol

It's fine, I'll use MegaAdblock. Is this even legal? Replacing content providers' ads seems wrong.

It says that facebook is to "see your friends' activity". It's probably just a way to promote the application via facebook, as there's no real benefit. There's no price, it's to show the movies currently showing in cinemas, and the hours at

I had to deal with US Airways for the first time last week (not from the US). It was at Laguardia, all the other airplane companies had flatscreens and whatnot, US Airways seemed to have been stuck in the 80's with letter boards. They were
