It's really strange to me. I noticed yesterday that the Play app started leaking battery like crazy on my Nexus 5. 100%-0% within 10 hours of idle , 33% due to Google Play Store. Today, 6 hours since the full charge I'm looking a

Be careful, it's more of an accelerated natural selection than a school. The postulate of 42 is that talented people will acquire this fundamental knowledge no matter what, and that non-talented people will simply drop out of school. T

Thanks for this post. As a European I wasn't aware these rules actually existed. I thought they were merely "Hollywood" tropes to have explicit romantic interest in fiction while keeping a G rating.

The idea in the OP is that if you're going to use the Amen Break, don't require "Hiphop-all", "Breakbeat-all" or, hell, if we're going by some of the Wikipedia examples, "Futurama-all". Just impo

Putting the format and security aside, isn't the main issue that XMPP was so good that we tried to bite more than it could chew? - Local Federation is great, but Global Federation doesn't benefit the big players - Extensibility is

It's my understanding that containerization's major benefit is not for development but for system maintenance. It allows sysadmins the luxury to stop spawning VMs left and right, since you can safely avoid all the overhead of keep

We used to use client certificates to declare and pay our taxes online in France, about a decade ago. They dropped the technology because no one savvy enough used the same computer long enough to be able to benefit from the feature more tha

That's true for the most part, I mean, the government obviously didn't mention some of the things that are in the cable unless they deliberately wanted to shoot themselves in the foot, but the news would systematically feature pie

To be honest, as a French person I didn't see anything new in this cable. None of this was secret, it was pretty much the official stance, except stripped of the humanitarian aspects such as the ongoing civil war and repression or the

It is, actually, an issue specific to driving businesses, and Uber is far more lenient than the law. Uninsured and unlicensed drivers are normally very rare because many, many people in large cities such as Paris (where Taxis services thriv

The key is the pacing of the asset streaming relative to the rate of environmental change the player is creating on the screen. Streaming essentially disables fast travelling and teleporting to some extent, but makes slow travelling seamles

You forgot another company runner in France, and a very important one: the procurement people. These guys make it incredibly difficult to build new businesses. In their mind contracting a company with less than a hundred people is heresy.

Aye, I won't bother critiquing the example, I see what you mean with the boilerplate as noise and part of me agree with you. One of the main points of programming is to reduce the noise to enable higher levels of code, while keeping an

Well, there are programming languages and then there are conventions. I think a programming language is more like an alphabet, and programming conventions are the real languages. I can scroll through code at high speed and understand it at

I'm not familiar with either CQRS and OT. Google fails me completely on the latter, but does CQRS mean "Command Query Responsibility Segregation"?

Php is an old lover to me, I haven't even touched it in the last decade. Revisiting this tech is very tempting, especially when I look at the first line of the changelog for all the things I missed: > Switch to using Zend Engine 2,

So basically, passion, right? Or is it what you already know and do all the time? It's an interesting take nonetheless, I've been toying with the concept of data/documents as the integration of event streams (commits, status

This reminds me of the Minecraft youtube let's play series "Far Lands Or Bust", where the protagonist, KurtJMac, is walking from the center of the world to reach the outer regions, the so-called "Far Lands", a fable

It was a sarcastic figure of speech. Sorry it was misunderstood. I actually agree with you.

Even then, my intention was to point out that whatever it is that we call trash talking, and whether it's a problem or not is of no importance at all when it comes to sexism in video games. These are two very separate issues IMHO.

I'm a guy and a gamer... I've opened my eyes on this issue for some time now. Yes we trash talk a lot in games, and yeah we don't see it as a big deal for the most part, because there's a part of creativity in trash talk

My two cents: Ask for proper priorization and focus on completing as many features as possible, one after the other. It's far easier to build one feature while maintaining multiple others than to build multiple features at the same time, es
