Now that I am in my forties, simply having a bad night of sleep can have me forgetting names of colleagues and messing up the names between the dogs and my daughters. Lack of sleep is one of the most debilitating thing and it certainly wasn

I am a French speaking Québécois and do work with many French people (downtown Montreal). You can't deny that the French French and Québécois French uses a lot of different words. They are still the same language for sure, but we often

I am Québécois and am in no way hostile to other languages. What we are protective of is that the official language is French, for historical reasons yes. Meaning, if I encounter an English speaking person, there is a big probability that I

Hey, don't worry to much about your accent. I am Québécois and French is my first language. I can speak English very well apart from that terrible accent... I used to work at a place where we had daily calls with the office in Californ

I have an uncle who speaks 6 different languages; he really likes picking up new ones. I once had a discussion about how he could pick them up so quickly and he basically said what the parent was saying: use it, practice it, read newspapers

I don't know much about all those and I experienced VR (other then the Avatar movie) for the first time this weekend at my friend's place on his PSVR. I really enjoyed Moss and still felt ok after about 45 minutes. I tried a kind

That's funny because STS-1 was actually made in an iterative way. If it's good enough for a shuttle, I guess it's good enough for about anything else. https://www.cs.umd.edu/~basili/publications/jour

Being a "minimum viable product", it may actually be quite big and take a long time to reach. To me, the goal of properly defining an MVP is that you do everything needed but nothing more. And getting stakeholders, or users, in th

In many industries as well as many government branches it still works just like that. They do not mandate a way of "writing the code", but software projects must pass gates and receive approvals at each stage before getting fundin

It wasn't meant in the sense of "I know it leaks because of the smell", it was literally said as "The leakage is caused by the smell". The conversation was in French so I have to translate here :D. I wasn't try

Yes, it does. For testing, in smaller business, this is fine however as you can register up to 100 devices. Enterprise certificates were much easier to use in big enterprise thought even if they weren't really "meant" for tha

It reminds me of a funny argument I had a while back. My then girlfriend old apartment had cast iron plumbing and a joint in one of the pipe had a very small leak that smelled pretty bad. One night, at a family gathering of her, someone sai

If you would have gotten a 0 then your science teachers failed you I'd say. A failed experiment is just as valid a result as a successful one if the goal is to gather data.

I'm not sure I understand the question. You need to install it on both your iPhone and your iPad for sure. But universal apps are the exact same binary. But a lot of developers prefer to create 2 different app, 1 for iPhone and 1 for i
