Hi, I'm the founder of Le Journal du hacker. Indeed the focus is tighter, mostly tech, Open source/Free Software, individual rights and entrepreneurship.

Enthousiasm is paramount in community work. But managing server infrastructure is more and more complex and it won't go simpler. People should consider joining associations which would be responsible, not individuals. Maybe less servers but larger and better managed ones. Associations are more resilient than individuals.

I'm supposed faking activity is the game when you work for a large company.

It seems to me this guy should be fired. But good for him if he can disguise his inabilities to manage the transition to full remote. As a employee I would flee such a company.

A bit of history of the project :) We started by using the name "journal du pirate" but lots of French people disliked this name because in French "Pirate" is more associated to illegal hacking, so it would damage the image of the project. After a vote of the early users, we switched to "Journal du hacker".

Tout à fait ! Pour l'instant nous sommes assez orientés France avec aussi des contributions québecoises, mais nous aimerions que l'ensemble des producteurs de contenus IT francophones utilisent l'outil.

Merci ! On existe quand même depuis 5 ans :)
carlchenet | 6 years ago | on: Paris Mayor: It's Time for a '15-Minute City'
The center of Paris is something like 13-14k€/square meter... The truth is Parisians with average revenues (for Parisians, not for French people) more and more live close to the suburbs (13th, 15th, 18th, 19th, 20th districts) around Paris and the center is full of company's head office, shops and restaurants. So the picture displayed in the article should figure inhabitations on the outside skirts and accommodations in the center.
At the national level, Parisians are an average really rich population and living inside Paris will continue to grow more and more difficult because living in Paris is nowadays a luxury. And nothing will change this situation in a close future.

Awesome article, this HN thread should indicate it was originally published on HN in 2016. As mentioned on the front page "#1 on Hacker News on December 2, 2016"

I think that's a great topic to discuss. Some feedback was already given at https://www.indiehackers.com/forum/the-economics-of-running-...
It also reminds me a great previous discussion here on HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14616440

I strongly agree, as I said in the article by license using VSC your renounce your rights to reverse-engineer the VSC. So you take a legal risk making it and blogging/talking/podcasting about it on Internet and can face legal actions.
