StyloBill··on Show HN: Kite, copilot for programmers, available for Python
I think the answer to your question is :

"* Fine-grained privacy controls modeled after the .gitignore file format means that you can selectively and precisely decide which files and folders Kite indexes."

StyloBill··on VS Code uses 13% CPU when idle due to blinking cursor rendering
The maths may be interesting, the rant is definitively not.

It's a Chromium problem, maybe you should read the Github issue before commenting.
StyloBill··on The Brilliance of Dwarf Fortress (2011)
Dwarf Fortress' complexity is far, far superior. It's not comparable.
StyloBill··on Will We Ever Know What Dark Matter Is?
So how do these branes exist? The fundamental question remains.
StyloBill··on Montreal Is Leading the AI World Takeover
French citizen living in Montreal. The easiest way is probably to come here with a PVT (Programme Vacances-Travail, or Working Holiday VISA) but you must be under 35.

You could also find a firm willing to hire you but there will be paperwork and they'll have to prove that they haven't found a Canadian citizen for the position you'll occupy. It's a bit of a pain for the company but some companies are used to this (consulting firms mostly). You'll then have a 2 years VISA + working permit.

Or you can go the permanent resident way, from France, but it's gonna take a long time (often 3+ years).

My advice is to come here as a tourist for a few weeks to have a feeling of the city. Try to come in winter, as it's a bit harsh and a non negligible number of expats go back to their home countries after their first winter here. Other than that, it's a really beautiful place and I love living there (been almost 5 years now).

Hope it's helpful!

Every frigging time. This pattern never ceases to amaze me.
StyloBill··on Kodak says it’s bringing back Ektachrome film
Sorry if I sound pedantic but your math is really wrong here.

Difference between the 2 kits: 600$. So 600/15 = 40 rolls, at 36 slides each, you're in for 1440 exposures.

StyloBill··on French journal Mediapart supports Tails, others should too
Worth mentioning is that they also publish in english. Even if it's clearly a french politics oriented newspaper, they also have some pretty good articles on everything international.

StyloBill··on Show HN: Marathono – A GUI tool for managing long-running processes in macOS
I love this tool, it's very convenient. Thanks for your work!

The only thing I don't really like is the icon. I find it a bit cluttered.

I'll gladly pay a few bucks to keep this in my toolbelt.

StyloBill··on Why I'm Not a React Native Developer
> I think you should rather think harder, learn math possibly

Oh the irony, when stating that 1/0 = infinity. If you'd learn maths yourself, you'd know that 1/0 is undefined.

Not sure if that's what you wanna do but you could do :

Yeah, except that they're not doing it this way.
