It's a pity how little most people know Mark Twain. He was so much more than the guy who wrote Tom Sawyer. He had many different and uncommon lifes in his life...A lot of inspiring things too. His 3 volumes autobiography is a long but

I'm not sure the world needs a new markup syntax, especially an awkward mix of HTML and Markdown. But I could be missing the point, since I just base this on my own needs. But thing is, talking about performance and scale goes exactly

It seems sad to me that the same people who pretend to be "hackers" are puzzled by a situation like this one. Binary patches are a perfectly normal thing, may it be from Microsoft or a random company.

Definitely. And it would also help "real" states if they started to play nice, by paying their taxes where they're due. But I think the over-the-top tax optimisation is actually what will ultimately cause them to lose their p

I think Eastpack exists in the US, and I highly recommend one of those. They're pretty solid, light and waterproof. Style depends on your taste, but they have plenty of models. Oh, and they're quite cheap, too. https://

Hundreds of people opened their home in October 2015 after the huge rainstorm and floods in Cannes and Biot. Several supermarket (Carrefour and Intermarché for sure) delivered tons of food to the people there. Hundreds of people opened thei

I stumbled on that book a few days ago, but the readers' comments seemed to imply the whole book was a heavy dramatization. Is it, in your opinion ?

Your question is not retarded at all. FFMpeg IS the best tool to build a Thumbnail extraction service. Over-engineering is sometimes quite fun, though.

I have to say I was pretty disappointed at Google for pushing their "use the iPhone Gmail app" popup to me : They have plenty of data about my usages, and it was easy enough to figure out I never owned an iPhone, or accessed any o
