It's also a common theme for Kent Beck, who "invented" extreme programming. > i have good ideas, i just don't know which of them are good up front. hence, looking foolish is a prerequisite for looking smart. Source:

It's a common game of cat and mice, still "played" to this day. When they can be bothered enough, authorities will fill a section of a gallery with concrete. And, in turn, when cataphiles can be bothered enough, they tear dow

Never heard of such an incident in the catacombs before. In my uninformed opinion, this seems unlikely: gas pipes in Paris are buried less than 1m deep, whereas the catacombs are 10 to 30m underground, below service galleries for utilities,

Home-made smoke bombs are a classic (and annoying) prank in the underground. Fills an entire gallery in less than a minute: https://www.loupiote.com/photos_l/catacombes-de-paris-cataco... Parties I was talking about lo

Nothing gets scrutinized - it's illegal to go down there anyway. Folks down there are not always safety conscious or very responsible :o) Sometimes there are parties with tens or over a hundred people in a big room that only has two cr

If you have trouble picking a project, code katas are really fun to try. The instructions are broad enough that you can solve them in different ways. Take a crack at one, solve it. Reflect on what was easy and what was hard or painful. Come

I've had numerous failures on older RPi models due to SD card corruption, even in non-write intensive contexts. Not sure this is good enough when you want reliability...

Joel Spolsky used to be a Program Manager for Excel. He has a great, 1h long video doing an Excel demo a few years ago - here, now YOU can be the Excel guru https://youtube.com/watch?v=0nbkaYsR94c

Lighthouse (now the Chrome dev tools "audits" tab) makes it really easy to trim down your site to the bare minimum. I've using on my personal blog, it's actually quite fun to work within constraints :)

Batteries included, except when it's not :) Cross platform Python is tough, especially when you use dynamically linked C libs on a platform that can change versions without warning.

There was no law about this but school staff sometimes enforced it anyway.

I believe classifying libs/frameworks by number of stars is not enough ; "when" these frameworks got stars, or how many stars they got in the past 6 month, is probably important. Not sure jQuery or angular 1 got many stars la

Ooooh I see. I like it, thanks !

I guess I'm not math-y enough so that I intuitively understand the simple math formula. On the other hand, I like his window image : e.g. I understand better how, the further you get from 0, the more your precision goes down, because &

Best simple explanation I've seen so far. I highly recommend Fabien's Game Engine Black Book. I'm halfway through it, and it's really fun. I've only been a software dev for 6 years, so looking at how things could be

Agreed. Discussing trends (speed of progress) with just two data points doesn't work.

But if it's lunch time, everyone is waiting in the same fast line, which defeats the purpose ...

Slightly different use case, though. Say I want a sandwich and a drink, I want that right now, not delivered to my house in one hour. Funny PR, though !

Agreed. Also, they don't discuss how they chose their features... It seems the problem was already solved before even applying ML to it. Maybe the example is too naive ?

Such an educated man might go a step further than just answering the question, and rephrasing it... Maybe it's not just about earning more money, but disproportionately higher standard of living. And speaking about those inequalities s

Mmmh, not being familiar with US immigration laws, I'm not sure I get everything. Is this about companies who illegally "import" foreign workers when they could have recruited US citizens ?

Syria for sure, and there's also Libya. Ah, and don't forget the European border policies regarding (mostly Syrian) refugees...

Interesting app, I've been using it here and there, mostly with a self-hosted IRC server. More or less a completely self-hosted chat system. The UI is clean, and once it's up and running the experience is pretty smooth for users.

Too bad it doesn't have swagger integration (yet). Love the easy, clean API - it's great for a reasonably sized project.

To be honest, the shock and pain and angst and awe we feel here in Paris is so overwhelming that I feel too numb to realize that, Yes, of course, people will use this event to promote their own ideological agenda... It makes me sick, truly.

Mh true. But will it remain opt-in ?

Is it just me or is it _beyond_ creepy ? Location, sound ... soon they will be collecting biometric data as well, "just to get room temperature, promise".

I am not too creeped out by the concept of this bot (actually, I find the whole idea amusing). I can understand why people would find it creepy, but I feel that the creepiness comes from Tinder rather than the bot ... It's only possibl

Agreed. Most restaurants in Paris get their food there. Wholesale, fresh, cheap. But well, I guess it makes for a good title :o)
