Original comment never mentioned that SQL wasn't a baseline for programmers anymore.

What you don't realize about Epitech (and other similar private schools) is that the only value you're getting is paying a bunch of millionaires the right to join a selective program. I graduated from an enginnering school, and

Were you an engineering graduate ? Because 30k€ even in Province right now is extremely low (university graduates are starting at 33k€ in Lyon for example, with engineers 33-38k€)...

“Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves,” the New York Times editorialized in October 1963, as demolition of the old Penn Station began. I suggest a corollary: "Any web community gets what it admires (fa

Spot on. While the idea behind can be interesting, it is implemented by accepting people who have the same "social status" background (same schools, same opinions), but are of different gender/race. I think that a white facto

I don't really understand why you would think that "avoiding change" is an offense to be fired for. Your opinion seems to lack every bit of possible nuance: say i'm manager A trying to raise awareness about tech B in com

I'd argue that berating economic success as the main metric for measuring a country's success is precisely what is slowly but surely eroding the West's precious institutions. Since when people just want to live comfortable li

I have to admit I slightly misread the parent comment, but still: as long it's not a democracy, how can you consider that China "can give their people what they want". The "they" cannot be referring the people of Ch

Following your logic, China is better off because instead of having one party protesting but failing to reject a law promoted by the elections-winning other party, it's just better to have one single party control everything. Sorry but

Seeing comments like yours today on this Bloomberg piece is quite reassuring. I technically count as a "minority" and I have no other way of phrasing this: it is extremely irritating to see companies push for diversity by hiring b

Couldn't agree more. Although to be more precise, ETH/ICOs are threatening the standard financing model proper in Silicon Valley, and not SV as a whole. I basically see the future as being both really dystopic and utopic at the

This reminds me of the scene in The Big Short where a manager casually talks about CDOs, synthetic CDOs and squared CDOs. And Steve Carell's character start asking: "what are squared CDOs... ?"

Seems awesome. Wonder why this wasn't just launched as a regular open source project. I (& people) would contribute the heck out of it.

Love how you just summed up (in my mind) the reasons for Netflix's success. Really glad that the market really played its role by providing customers with a near-perfect (Netflix's library is inconsistent to say the least) viewing

I feel like you're talking about an experience that precisely emerged from the Starbucksization of food and beverage production. Where I come from, staff in cafés would kill to make a consistent coffee every time (and they mostly do)

That's mainly because the rate of change is far greater. Will need to get used to it though.

What you're describing has been basically begun from the first time a spreadsheet was opened by a decision maker in a bank. From then, the calculations only got more advanced, but computers have always hidden how they worked (especiall

I'm scared of network effects for Julia, personally. Python is garnering tremendous amount of users. But then, I remember a computer vision teacher 3 years ago laughing at the idea of using Python instead of Matlab as Matlab is the &qu

I think you nailed the key insight here... The Matlab community maybe needed a really close alternative at the beginning, but we should really strive now for python-centric solutions (and/or Julia/R...). Matlab is a tremendously p
