I used to drink really heavily, I got 2 blackouts on two nights of extensive drinking and smoking. It's really like two hours of my life were gone, I was conscious, I talked to people and stuff like that, but I can't recall anything between the beginning and the end of the blackout.
It's a really strange feeling because I can remember pretty well what happened before and after the blackouts but in the middle it's just nothing.
Then what would be the difference between <h level=1> and <h1> ? Or is that sarcasm ?
They are launching a sequel called CP Island. So don't rejoice too soon.
I use ~80 cols terminal because everything is designed to fit in 80 anyway. More than that and it's just whitespace.
We only speak this english in France, so now you're prepared.
46k is really low in France for an experienced dev and that's outside of Paris. Junior dev engineer earn at least 45k when they begin in Paris, and it gets to 60k in about 5-10 years. Also corporate taxes are about 23% but you're right on personal income.
This is simply not true. If you look at the report of the Cour des Comptes regarding the tax rates of the financial sector [1] you will see that France take less taxes on bank than pretty much all OECD countries, the only exceptions being Portugal, Spain, Finland and Austria. There are a lot of methods for banks or big company to lower taxes in France and it works well with both bank and France's interests.

Yep, we have this status, it's called "Cadre" in France, and you don't even have to be a manager, you just need to have a certain autonomy on your work, which basically apply to everyone that work in an office.
I have a part of my family that lived in pretty unstable foreign countries, and they were more than happy of being french when problems occurred because your country will make sure you're safe, so it's a little benefit (plus having one of the best passport in the world).
But I find it strange that you don't have a "citizen abroad" representative, I don't know how many of US citizen live abroad but since, as you say it, you pay taxes you should have some representation. Here in France we have 11 representative for expatriates and I always thought it would be the same anywhere.
Okay, I've never worked with a designer that would touch code, so there is that. Macros seem a bit redundant with partial views in my opinion, except they take fixed parameters, but this is a interesting concept.
I've been using PHP for most of my life, and used various template engine and it always end up with one question : what is the real purpose of a template engine in PHP instead of just using PHP ? When I see the examples in twig homepage it just looks like they tried to make PHP examples verbose for the sake of it.
I don't really mind them, but I find it extremely boring to have to register in the template engine every function that you will end up using somewhere else in your code and eventually have a language with less feature than plain old PHP and an other layer of cache.
So which use cases make you need Twig, for instance ?
I've had this discussion yesterday with a colleague of mine a bit older than me, he doesn't think that technology will kill jobs, he thinks that the government will probably prevent self driving cars and the like.
I think the opposite, I live in a country where transport is the main employer in the country, I think that in the next two decades all these jobs will be lost and transport company will have enough lobbying power to pass any laws they want.
We were talking about retirement age and I was wondering how we could push it later when there will be less and less jobs, and eventually we will have to admit that a big portion of the population won't be able / needed to work, and that I will probably be part of it.
A lot of people already did that and it's already cheap anywhere in the world. The thing is, to be able to sell it in the US you would have to be approved by the FDA and that's why Shkreli got away with it, there can't be any legal competition before at least a few years.
Screw that. I don't want to live just to pay the bills, buy a house too big for me, a big car that I don't need and consume more than I should.
If you think the way of life of your elders made the world a better place, go ahead, think and do like them, maybe it will make you happy, like them.
I may be disrespectful, but for me it looks like my elders left me with a suffocating planet populated by too many people taking too many drugs.
And I don't want to be a part of this, I'm not smart enough to change the future, I probably won't do much good to mankind, so I'm going to enjoy myself and leave the tiniest footprint when I'm leaving. Nobody owes us fun, we owe it to ourselves.
> If you want a secure platform iOS is your best bet
iOS is far from secure, just this week they released 3 huge security breaches fix. There is even in this release a somewhat similar issue where playing a malicious audio file would allow you to run arbitrary code.
The first one no, but the other 3 are set after a nuclear holocaust.
That's a good way to build trust with your son. And to be a decent human being. But, sarcasm aside, there is a huge line between scaring / yelling at your kid and physical harm and this is way over the line.
And we will keep doing this for the next 20,000 years or so.
The surrounding area will be safe long before that but the epicentre will be radioactive for a long time and there is nothing we can really do about it.
I don't know if you're talking about the 3-D Secure / Verified by Visa system, but the major flaw of this technology is that the merchant is the only one responsible for putting it up or not.
I used to work in e-commerce and my company simply disabled the SMS protection because it would harm sales and the platform would sometimes completely crash.
On the other hand there is no way (that I know of) that I, as a customer, could prevent my card being used in non secured websites. So this system makes legitimate purchases harder and doesn't prevent fraud.
We need a different technology than credit card for online payments, they are not secured enough and any layer of security that we add around them won't work.
If I search "are jews" I get a suggestion for "Are jews christians", so I guess I'm not in the "evil" pool of people. Just in the dumb one.
Flash also has huge security flaws and memory leaks. Pretty much like Java applets.
At least with JS, if it leaks or has security breach, the browser's developer can fix it without waiting for a 3rd party, or I can use a different browser.
The worse thing is, I don't think they care about losing users, they are like 90s Microsoft, there are no alternative for most of the services they give. They would care about losing customers, but Google customers are not its users, it's the guys who buy advertising space.
Because it looks like an "o" in Verdana, but it could look different than the "o" in an other font.
That meta configuration looks like ember.js
More like if your password has a caps in it and you forget it on mobile.
I don't know any lawyer that looks like Ally McBeal and her colleagues, but that show was funny, that's the only issue of the Big Bang Theory.
