dClauzel··on Excuse my French
Doesn't work for French: we have an "artistic" way of using words with implied profanity. Also, this tool's vocabulary is clearly to restricted.
dClauzel··on Why IBM Will Win the War With Amazon Web Services
So a guy involve with IBM is (honestly?) saying that it will kick the ass of its competitor?

Nothing here to see, move along.

dClauzel··on Ask HN: What are good CS journals that publish source code with papers?
The actual codes are not published within the articles: to big, and pointless. However, the practice is to give the URI to where they are publicly hosted (usually on the forge of your research lab, like https://gforge.liris.cnrs.fr/).

You only put in your article what is immediately relevant, for example an algorithm you are discussing. If if it big and really necessary, you put in the annexe.

Except for specific areas, source code are present in research: they are more an engineering problem. What you will see are demonstrators, prototypes, and examples. But very rarely clean production code, because that is not the objective.

dClauzel··on I lost years’ worth of Google Docs files because of a poor user interface
Remote volumes are not new. They don't replace backups.

As the author said: "I didn't think anything of it". Nothing to add :)

dClauzel··on I have "free electricity" and would like to mine bitcoins.
If you invest in a good and big mining ring, yes. But after that, all depend of the change rates of bitcoin…
dClauzel··on Fastest way to build an email contact form in a web page?
mailto:contact@example.com

What else? :)

Contact forms suck: poor feedback, no copy of outgoing message, not certitude that the message has really been sent. Email provides a lower integration, but a stronger confidence.

dClauzel··on Is Googlebot trying to index my FTP?
It is possible; the IP address only is not a sure indication of the origin.

Google does indeed indexes public ftpd. No problem here.

dClauzel··on A modern PostgreSQL Client for Mac
Is it better than Navicat? http://www.navicat.com/products/navicat-for-postgresql
dClauzel··on French: The Most Productive People In The World
Publishing an article about French productivity on July… That is so cute :)

In July and August, the huge majority of people here are taking 3 to 4 weeks of vacations. Every company are slow, except for the vacation/leisure/eating/etc ones.

dClauzel··on How la Gendarmerie (French military police) ditched Microsoft and McAfee

dClauzel··on Chest vs. Stomach Breathing
If you try to breath with you stomach, you are going to have some gaz to evacuate. Better breathing with your lungs ;)
dClauzel··on Automatically Encrypting all Incoming Email
Full disk encryption is the way to go.

Having several tools for encrypting the logs, then the email, then the web browser history, and so, is not safe. Better to protect the full drive, and for everything.

dClauzel··on Shortcat - Keyboard productivity app for Mac OS X
Excellent tool! A good complement for QuickSilver.

Bonus: the cat is absolutely cute :)

dClauzel··on Broken my site in Google Search by switching to HTTPS/SPDY?
My server (https://serveur.clauzel.eu/) have been connected using spdy on IPv6 for more than a year, and I didn't notice any problems.

Google crawls it daily : « 2001:4860:4801:2:aa00:6006:1300:b075 - - [20/May/2013:11:54:32 +0200] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 4109 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) »

dClauzel··on Ask HN: Best way to pay international developers?
Negociate the fees with your bank.

Also, wiring money within the SEPA zone is free: if your developer is ok for having an account in an European country, go for it.

dClauzel··on Do you use Mosh? (SSH replacement)
Not really, because « Mosh does not support X forwarding or the non-interactive uses of SSH, including port forwarding ». (cf README)
dClauzel··on An Appeal to Google: Make ".io" a gccTLD
.io has a normalized meaning. Accept it, or simply don't use it :)
dClauzel··on Compare European Amazon prices
This is a GREAT idea. We need more tools like that in Europe.
dClauzel··on 60W equivalent LED bulb uses 9.5W and costs $13
Absolutely.

The real challenge is to propose an affordable LED bulb that can provide at least 1300 lumens.

dClauzel··on Show HN: Web Security Scanner - Can Your Site Score a 100%?
No IPv6 support :(
dClauzel··on What music do you listen to while coding?
Something full of joy, and bouncy: happy hardcore (Dune, Scooter), eurodance, etc.
