Since the provincial government is already giving huge tax credits to the video game industries, I'm wondering the government will be giving Amazon any financial incentives to implement that in Montréal.

A few of the main contributors are good friends of mine, so this post might be biased. One of the nicest part of Nit in my opinion is their foreign function interface (FFI). It currently supports C and Java out of the box, and Objective-C a

I think that the two most important strategies are to actually pair with someone and ask questions after doing some research. Being able to do some pair programming helped me to understand a new code base, in a language I never used before

Actually it's the province of Quebec and it is a tax credit for video game studios. The incentive was put in place around 1998-1999 and it is said to have been paying itself since 2005 or so from the influx of high paying job in the in

I live in Québec and we have extremely low tuition fees. A 3 years program in any university will be around $1500CAD per semester, so $9000 in total. There are some variations between different universities, but of a few hundreds dollars on

Well, AppCache works just as an offline caching system for webpage assets (html files, images, javascripts, css, etc). So yeah it's technically possible to have a 5 GB offline cache, but the browser will need to download all the data f

> There is no longer a prompt when websites use appcache. Quite happy with this one. I had to develop an offline web-based application a few weeks ago and it really bugged me that I had to allow the application to use the offline cache.

I am currently following a compiler class, and I must say that I am really amazed and impressed. For an assignment, we of course had to write an interpreter for our own mini language. The fealing you have after creating this interpreter was

Quebec's law system doesn't allow that. At most he will be sentenced to a few months of detention in a youth facility. Once he will turn 18, everything will be cleared.

That is a really good news! I have been using Twilio for a client of mine offering callback numbers for one of their product. I found out about Plivo last March at PyCon in the expo hall, and their price where 50 to 100% cheaper, while prov

That is really nice. I remember implementing something similar to step 2 and 3 on AppEngine a few years back for a project. It turned out quite nice and non tech-savvy users used it without much problems. We managed to have something that c

Having a full encrypted system solves all of those issues. If not, at least an encrypted home (such as what Debian provides with their default installation).

I don't understand why they want to build a high-performance exchange engine, in Node.js. Even I wouldn't choose my language of choice, but would rather look at either Java, C/C++, hell even Go or Erlang!

As a fellow french speaking Quebecer, this is because of the "Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux", the main office regulating alcool, races and gambling. In our legislation, if you are making a contest with the intent of giving away

I have been following BTC China along side MtGox, and it seems that BTC China is starting to fall also. Price was ¥1700 ($274) 15 minutes ago, and now it runs at ¥1,386.00 ($223). I'm still not sure if this is due to MtGox being DDOS or pe

This year was my first PyCon ever. Being a student, I did not have the funds to pay for a 4 night hotel and a 600$ flight. I really wanted to go, so I just decided to put what ever it would cost on my almost full student line of credit. Tha

Linux Mint seems to be a nice distribution, but I just don't see any benefits of using it compared to Debian Testing. When I tried installing it, the installer didn't even have an option to do full disk encryption, and I did not have time t

It's funny to see Canada being 9th place. In Québec, we currently have a public inquiry regarding the corruption and collusion in the field of construction. Last month, the mayor of Montreal stepped down on reference of keeping a percentage
