Une très belle réflexion sur le fait que le code "clean" à tout prix n'est pas forcément une bonne chose. Parfois un code avec un peu de répétition est en réalité bien plus pérenne que de l'abstraction à outrance, surtout dans une équipe de plusieurs développeurs.

Ce n'est pas le premier article que je lis sur le sujet donc je suis convaincu que ce type de sit…

I just submitted a scathing rebuttal to one of the letters to the editor in my local paper. There are people in my area who put Donald Trump on a pedestal like he's a saint and usually I ignore them but this idiot's bullet points annoyed me so I wrote a response. Now I have to wait and see if I get published, I've made it in the section 5 times previously as sadly there are very few independent or democratic letter writers. I'll post if I make it in.

#opinion Simon Tisdall : Biden now regrets the strength of his support for Netanyahu – he must act before it’s too late
[…] A principal reason was #Biden’s disquiet over the extremist, anti-Palestinian policies espoused by the new government, notably in the occupied West Bank. Yet when #Hamas attacked, Biden, being at heart a decent and honourable soul, set differences aside. His mistake, or perhaps his wilful self-deception, was to believe #Netanyahu was a man of similar mettle.
[…] Yet this show of almost unconditional support was promptly interpreted by Netanyahu as carte blanche to do whatever he pleased in pursuing Hamas in Gaza. His main “achievement” to date, given that the terrorists remain undefeated, is an unprecedented slaughter of Palestinian civilians, reportedly totalling nearly 16,000 deaths.

The new #ZorinOS17 is a pleasure to use: beautifully crafted right from the masters. Gnome 43.9 really makes it smooth and clean. I love the 3D workspace switcher and the animated Alt+Tab window switcher! However, I miss the blurred theme. But it's so cool, the app menu now lets you search through the whole OS and many more! Soon, after the big release I'll publish a short video walkthrough.

11/30/23: #KOSA is an anti-LGBTQIA+ #censorship bill. It is essential you call THIS week. Tell them you are specifically against KOSA and especially against hotlining the bill.

Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to the Senator of your choice.

Here is one that will send your reps a #fax: https://resist.bot/

Left the Republican Party thanks to Fox 'News' 20 years ago.

Watching Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly, felt like I was being fed anger, hate, and bitterness I didn't want from my TV, or in my life.

Bitterness is a poison. It runs deep and is highly contagious.

Olvid est sans doute, techniquement, une excellente messagerie chiffrée.
Mais rien à faire, y'a mon cerveau qui tire des sonnettes d'alarme. J'arrive pas à faire confiance au truc. Peut-être à tort, hein.
Ça sent trop la startup franco-française promue par le gouvernement. Au point de suggérer que Signal n'est pas sécurisé 🤨

WTF This #WaPo #opinion piece. Apparently, young men are leaning more and more to the right because of the manosphere incels and that is causing them not to get married. While we spend a second being SHOCKED by the fact that liberal women do not like men that believe they should have less rights over their own bodies, allow me to offend your eyes with a quote from the article:

"This mismatch means that someone will need to compromise"

THE HOLY BATMAN IS THIS???

The older you get the less framing a debate influences you. It's a bit like chess gambits. You fall fall for the first time.

Tenth time around you're insulted by them.

It's like this Telegraph story about French welcoming back Brits.

Well, yeah… shopkeepers usually welcome their customers back.

The frame they put on this picture looks tacky. It actually makes the picture look bad.

Je ré-écoutais par hasard les musiques de "What remains of Edith Finch". Et aussitôt les larmes me sont montées aux yeux. C'est fou comme ce jeu m'a marqué.

Le genre de la "ballade narrative" a à mon avis un grand avenir. Déjà parce que la technique a fait assez de progrès pour que ça soit visuellement crédible, mais aussi parce que les studios ont énormément évolué au nivau de la narration et du voice acting.

"Can I tell you a story about what happens every night in bars and clubs and at parties where drunken decisions are made? And as I tell it, will you agree to direct your gaze out farther, past the characters my words conjure, past the bar where you imagine they drink, past even the place where you sit now, reading? Farther and farther still, until what you see is no longer a pair of friends on a specific occasion, but the body — the common history — of a nation?"

South Africa still has that African National Congress with its close ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

"Government leaders have reached out to Jewish communities. They have spoken in synagogues, offered condolences, and expressed their love and support. Not in South Africa."

🔸 Clés USB : Je préfère NTFS. Ça se lit très bien sous Linux, Win, Android et même les TV connectées, et c'est nettement moins fragile que FAT/exFAT.

🔸 DD externes pour 🐧 seulement (backup,etc.) : ext4.
Un peu chiant pour les droits, mais ça va.

🔸 Chiffrement: J'ai de plus en plus tendance à laisser tomber VeraCrypt pour LUKS.
Non seulement LUKS a une UI avec moins de friction, mais quand on formatte VeraCrypt est beaucoup trop lent.

C'est amusant : Certains jeux me font un effet particulier. Des jeux comme Minecraft ou StarBound. Cette sensation d'avoir son petit univers rien qu'à soit, petit mais incroyablement vaste, à portée de main. Un petit univers qu'on peut visiter et explorer à loisir. Pour retrouver des lieus connus, où on a construit des choses, ou au contraire explorer cet univers miniature et s'y perdre.
Cela a quelque chose d'étrangement réconfortant.

Rules should be put in place to stop governments from using taxpayer monies to fund advertising and marketing aimed at persuading opinion based on manipulated facts (also taxpayer funded).
