Of note is also that one of the reasons Mandela gave for supporting Castro until the end was Cuba's extensive military support in Angola, that Mandela credited as a substantial source of hope for the ANC and a demoralising event for the South African military, and as a major contributing cause in the independence of Namibia.

After his release in '90, he visited Castro and heaped praise on him for that among other things. There's no indication that he regretted that support for Cuba's direct military involvement in open warfare later, as far as I know.

Here's an excerpt (with links to the full speech) of Mandela's speech on the subject at a commemoration of the start of the Cuban revolution in 1991:

https://www.democracynow.org/2013/12/11/nelson_mandela_on_ho...

(I have plenty of issues with Castro, but it's worth understanding why he was seen as we seen by African leaders, and how we was seen by people like Mandela also elucidates those leaders own views)
Exactly, there's a lot of cool stuff going on in Paris, but seriously it's underpaid for the price you have to pay to live there.

From where I live I could work in Paris with the same commute time than I do by working in Luxembourg, but I get a better paycheck.

Renting a 2 bedroom costs 700€ a month where I live, in Paris it would cost 2 to 3 times this.

I don't get the "there's not enough engineering available", this is just not true, reality is that people will earn a lot more in London, Luxembourg, Switzerland, so they chose that.
France will force the hell out of you to open a branch in France. I have a company in Estonia and France is the only country that asks me to do such thing in the EU. Luckily I live in France, you'll need an address here, and have fun opening a business bank account with papers in, say, Estonian, or even English for that matter. Spent thousands in translations, whereas creating the company in Estonia was over the Internet and under 300 EUR. France will do all it can to drag you into its bureaucratic hell.

That is a misleading and one dimensional way to highlight the difference between the two groups.

France is a combination between Philippe le Bel, Zinedine Zidane, Louis Renault, Serge Gainsbourg, Marcel Dassault, Jean Jaurès, Auguste Renoir, Blaise Pascal, Napoléon, Arthur Rimbaud, Charles de Gaulle, and so on. Current social rights are not more a part of french culture than anything else and I think most of the current conflicts come from the thinking than progress is acquired and a marxist point of view (which is very valid and important, but not the source of all answers). We tend to forget than France existed before 1945.

"One major pain is interacting with large French corporations, with payment delays unheard of in the US. This slows many startups down when it does not kill them. Once bootstrapped it seems to get better."

I need to second that. I really struggle with working directly with big companies. My own case, a big engineering company in Germany is quite putting my business at risk. Others have paid only after I send them a letter from a lawyer. And so on.

A friend of mine got his whole business busted by the EC itself. The processes are sooo burocratic, so that he got his money after two years. But he closed the company meanwhile. Impossible to sue the EC itself...need another 10years....

Sorry to hear about your abusive firing, wish you success.

> all startups I've seen quickly moved to London or Berlin in the moment they got VC funding

Are you sure this was related to the cost of employees? As pointed in the article, London is the historical tech hub in europe, so moving to London after funding can have many reasons.

You're right though, having employees is really expansive. I'm afraid it's not just a France problem, though :) It costs you double than what employee gets pre-tax, but all in all it's not more expansive than in other countries. In US, a good dev salary is $100k a year (€85k).

EDIT: for non french people, a good dev salary in France is €45k, so it may cost at most and roughly double than that, but you have a lot of tax cut you can take advantage of to reduce it

It is what it does. It's not all it does, but the option is correct. Only when looking at other options you would notice there is one that is "more" correct. It's not a poll you can draw any conclusions from.

That being said, if you look around, pretty much everyone agrees it is a confusingly implemented feature. I don't think there's any question about that. But at the same time you can find explanations why it is named the way it is, and that can help to remember it better.

I find it's more about fundamental individual freedoms in the US vs statistical best outcomes in the EU.

If removing the right to self defence makes Europeans statistically 10% safer then it's a good move and damn the people who are left defenceless.

Likewise in the US it's thought to be better to have the right to defend yourself even if that makes society overall a bit more dangerous.
This actually makes Intercal look intelligible.
I was really surprised that this is the only comment mentioning the obvious. That will be 60% or more of the current revival.

Additionally there are probably quite a few people who didn't know anything about Voxels, but transitioned the "pixelart" hype into the 3D world, coming to the same end point.

I bet both these reasons together make 90% of the current interest.

CIR is a huge joke, it doesn't help small companies that much. Big companies are far better at collecting it than start-ups.

On paper, CIR is for research and development efforts, basically it's for efforts that improve the state of the art.

But in practice CIR is a tax break/subvention in disguise for medium to big french companies like Orange, Thales, bnpparibas...

Just to give you an idea, at one of my former job, an email was sent to every employee of the division. This email asked us to provide our CV rewritten with "research terms" (ex: replace implementing by prototyping, debugging by experimenting, etc). We were CIRing projects in pure maintenance, we were CIRing the same thing over and over each years. It was clearly abusive.

I've heard stories that are even worst than that, like banks CIRing an overall of their website.

I still have my ZX81.
My dad bought it for the family when I was 11. It was to me the most anazing and fascinating thing. It absorbed my attention completely. I remember handwriting code on the bus to school.
It depends.

If I would have at least one other developer excited about more advanced static types, I would try to sell to the project lead something along the lines "Hey, me and $OTHER_DEV would like to take $SMALL_PART_OF_THE_APPLICATION and try to rewrite it in $LANGUAGE_OF_YOUR_CHOICE ... we think the type-system should catch quite a lot of those bugs we have been dealing in prod!" If the lead will take you up on that, you might have a nice way to introduce the language and figure out if it really is that much better.

If that is not an option (i.e. no easily identifiable sub-component/service) you still might be able to add types through mypy, and maybe even investigate something like mokeytype

If there is really strong pushback to do static-type checking, you can still make mission critical systems in untyped language. Erlang does this, and you can take the lessons learned from i.e. erlang and apply it in your python code-base. Based on my experience, limitting local state, and use more functional approach does wonders to testability and stability.

If the team is not a fan of functional programming, Maybe even throw in some advanced testing techniques, like fuzzing endpoints, doing property-based tedts or if it is applicable something like chaos-monkey :)

If there is no time for that, then focus on the process. Good review culture, good test-writing culture, have CI and integration tests ...

To be honest, I would try all of these, starting from the last suggestion, making my way to the first :D

I think you are mixing up Norsemen and Normans. Norsemen (Scandinavians, sometimes called Vikings) spoke a Germanic language (called old Norse, the ancestor of current Scandinavian languages), while the Normans spoke French. English have been influenced by both, but the Norman invasion was later. Beef, veal, mutton etc. are from french.
Also while extremely trivial here, higher pressure air has a higher capacity to transfer heat.
>That's because German vendors are hopeless at processing cards.

I could not agree more with the process you described every time I pay with a card in Germany. Germans point to this inefficient process for the reason cash is faster.

However, when I lived in the US, Australia, and NZ you literally tap your card with paywave and the transaction is complete. It is impossible for a cash transaction to be faster than this.

Let's say my list has 10^4 members, and there are 10^9 people worldwide. If I design for a 10^-4 false positive rate, then a list constructed by reverse-engineering my algorithm (whether it's a Bloom filter or a truncated hash or anything else) will be 91% false positives, 9% true positives. That's not a huge improvement, but I could imagine applications where someone judged it worth the ~one customer I inconvenience.

This raises fun questions of what it means to disclose a fact, when you're disclosing it probabilistically. Let's say that you tell me the yes/no answer to a question you consider private. I then generate a uniform random number X on [0, 1], and disclose (("you told me yes") || (X >= a)) for some agreed constant a.

If a = 1, then I've almost surely just disclosed your secret. If a = 0, then I've almost surely disclosed nothing. At what value of a do you start to care? That's a really messy question, depending on the social consequences of the information being disclosed (what fraction of innocent candidates would you reject to make sure your child's tutor isn't on the list of clients of a psychologist known for treating pedophiles?), and the other public information about you and about my population that an attacker can fuse to make a stronger estimate.

I don't think privacy-through-false-positives is a terribly effective tool. It's just the only possible tool for creating privacy when your rule is public (whether deliberately or after a breach)--so it's interesting to think about places where it could have some benefit.

My 4rd grade teacher was convinced of the science of using two fans to cool off the classroom: one blowing cool air into the classroom from the hallway and one fan blowing hot air out of the classroom through a window. The kids that sat near the fan blowing in the room from the hallway were quite content, but the kids by the window were always complaining and they would secretly turn the fan in the window around so it was also blowing in. This would infuriate our teacher when he would discover it and he would claim that the reason the classroom is hot is because the fans were no longer arranged to create air movement through the classroom. But the window kids weren't buying it.

So if sweaty 4th graders are any indication, have the fans blow on you regardless of whatever air movement is supposed to be made.

> we're talking each month you pay total twice and a half as much as the employee sees BEFORE TAX.

I'm in Paris and here how my salaries break down:

Currently I'm at ~50K a year "Brut" (before taxes on the employee side), which means ~35K a year "Net" ("go home" salary).

I'm costing ~75K per year to my employer in term of salary (before taxes on the employer side).

My other taxes are around 6K per year.

I'm an SRE/software engineer with ~8 years experience.

I'm not sure ~75k is that expensive compared to other European countries, let alone Silicon Valley salaries.
Video demonstrates a 8-channel 1st gen Saleae Logic clone and claims that it's a modern equivalent...not quite. The Saleae clone--just as the original--is a sampling logic analyzer, whereas a true logic analyzer is driven by state transition.

To be sure, the Saleae clone depicted is reasonably useful to just under 12 MHz (at 24 MHz sampling rate), although forcing it to alias is easy and it's pretty useless for troubleshooting glitches.

When you input sheet music in a synth/computer it sounds "inhuman". People tend to blame the sound, which has it's merits, but the problem is we humans have an x factor.

This factor is that we naturally add a million things when reading from sheet. Slight drag to create loose rhythm, microvariants on each note's volume (dynamics) timbre and everyone has a slightly different touch to the release (ASDR). Sheet might notate vibrato, but even this is different for each person.

Musical notation is hardly an absolute instruction, but more a guide. We interprete it on the base that (formal) music training/experience/knowledge will "fill in the gaps" (ie. Palm mutes in metal or "swing" in jazz), but placing any sheet in a midi device shows how much magic happens between reading and moving the fingers.

This is significant, because a math equation does not change between machines or men and thus these can be considered true instructions.
What is ridiculous is reducing things to the absurd, of you can work on a computer in your house without planning permission! A remote worker can work from home.

A bit of googling and a good dose of intuition leads me to think that the output area of a fan cools faster than the input. Reason being that air is more likely to be turbulent after a foil, and turbulent air transfers heat better.

On the other hand, if the purpose is to express, say, smell, blowing the smell out is the better solution.
