Damn, and I was so proud of my best score.

What do we do for a commercial stunt. We had 720p for 720x1280 We had 1080p fir 1080x1920

And now "5K" for 5120x2880? Is the screen supposed to be used in a "portrait" setting?

It's fine if you work in IT, you see what it does, but for most people those commercial designations are getting confused.

Wow, OK, weird.

Aren't a and h supposed to be constant here too, just unresolved ones?

Well, looking at the video, 11mn in, i see a weird system simplification: * 6 = 6a + 7h + i * 4 = 4a + 5h + i

get "reduced" to: * 1 = a + 1.16h + i * 1 = a + 1.25h + i

I wonder why it isn't i/6 and i/4... basic mistake or I missed something?

I won't have a problem thinking it's due to a bad actor.

I will doubt it's the one the US are pointing at, though.

Using page-down instead of scrolling help. Still horriblue UX/design, though.

Job market isn't great here either (France, so not as bad as Italy), and I perfectly understand one taking a shitty job to support one's family.

Still, getting a job where you are paid with my money to harass me is not the way to get on my good side. Either way, I never take those calls, and never take anonymous calls either, unless I'm looking for a job.

Beside, that kind of behavior from a company here (in France at least, and probably most of Europe) is probably illegal.

Ah, the famous "Only doing its job" excuse.

Yes, their job is shitty, but when your job is to bully people (by phone or otherwise), don't expect rainbows and unicorns.

If it come to that, I suspect Duckduckgo will be kind enough to point me in the right direction.

Since ebooks are zip with a well-defined file hierarchy, I may even be able to hack the unnecessary bits to achieve freedom on my own.

Nice to see that some authors share that point of view.

From an user perspective, those walled garden for ebooks are a real problem. Since I like to have a paper copy of my books, I have a working solution, not perfect though: * If there is a paper version, buy the paper version. * If there is a DRM-free ebook, download it somewhere or buy it (depending on the price and added work, like a new cover, ...) * If the is only DRM version, download a DRM-free version for free once it's available. * If there is no paper version: * If there is a DRM-free edition, buy it * If there is only a DRM version, no good solution there, either a pass or a download somewhere.

My reader is a Kindle, so not perfect there, but I manage by keeping it in airplane mode at all time, to avoid stupid updates (like the 1984 fiasco), and by adding book only through Calibre instead of amazon's library manager.

Would be nice to add a full-offline option.

Don't take it wrong, but I'm getting wary of services offering to store my data online for free, especially when I don't know how / if it intend to make money.

Looks good though, I might give it a try even with that issue.

New study found short-circuits in study test materials.

Saying that "It's easy to solve, so if the restaurants haven't yet, it's probably not a problem" is pretty bad as excuses go.

The point isn't that it can't be solved, the point is that if it need solving, it's probably a problem, and companies are supposed to solve problem, not to deport them from their paying customers to non-paying third-party.

No way it's there, the Stasi did have file on most citizens, but it wasn't as well indexed, comprehensive, and easily searchable as what current government 'security' agencies have.

Docxa (Paris, France, On-site only)

We develop client interaction tools, small team and huge challenges, with clients ranging from major banks and insurance companies to state institutions.

Looking for: * Lead dev Java/Js * dev front end JS

French & English is a huge plus, but only one language and a willingness to learn could make the cut.
