😱 How it's going : " « Nous nous sommes trompés, c’est l’horreur absolue» : face à Trump, la désillusion des chefs d’entreprise français "

Ça y est, ces grands "visionnaires" de l'économie française sont enfin en train de comprendre que :
1) Les Américains ne sont pas nos amis.
2) Le capitalisme, ça fait ouille ouille quand t'es pas en haut de l'échelle ?
Good.

Os preference, screen size, original screen size, zoom level are displayed.

About a year ago, my parents made the switch to Linux on their home machines because they really hated Win 10... Today I got a call from my mother to help her out with something, but I did not expect that "something" will be figuring out a sed pattern for a shell script she wrote to bulk rename files.

When I asked her why she didn't use some GUI program she said "I was an accountant in the DOS era, this makes more sense to me than a ribbon menu in Excel".

Avoid layered text-shadows for text outlines.

Use paint-order: stroke fill instead!

Conceptually it's very simple: when you signup for a service, you generate a private and public keypair. The private key is stored in your passkey manager [...], and the public key is stored in the database of the service. Then, during a login, the server sends an randomly-generated challenge, your device sign it wit the private key, and the server verify that the signature of the challenge matches the public key.

An alternative to passwords.

Long form options are much more self-explanatory for the reader.

I totally agree

It's only later that I realized that the problem was not with the world, but with me. I let extremely toxic companies dictate what I should be thinking about and distract me from what is good for me and the people I care about.

About consuming too many content and junk.-content on social media:

The analogy with physical health is great because the remedy is exactly the same: you have to exercise. [...] The best way to exercise your brain is to write long texts and to spend time developing your ideas. [...] How to proceed? Don't overthink. Open any text editor and let your thoughts guide your fingers.

Why do we overthink as developer?

1. Education
2. Marketing (whereas the solution is often trivial)
3. Ego

The definition of success is universally wrong.

• What do you really want?
• What do you really value?
• What are you really doing with your life?

The image is a great illustration: https://kerkour.com/assets/2022/alignment/alignment.png

Hapiness and success are the alignment of what you want, what you value and what you do. It's called alignment in Buddhism. The ideal state of tranquility comes from experiencing body and mind being synchronized. Tranquility is the only way to end suffering, which is the ultimate definition of success.

How to align?

1. slow down, take a break and only then can your mind become clear.
2. write down who you are and what you value
3. write down what you want

Breadcrumbs are no longer useful because websites are not rigit and hierarchical structures anymore. They focus on retrospective (where the user was) instead of the modern concept of user journey, which is increasingly about anticipation and contextual navigation.

On mobile-first design, breadcrumbs seems redundant.

The industry is moving toward adaptive design solutions:

• contextual, dynamic navigation
• search-centric interfaces
• ai-powered navigation systems (what is the solution then?)
• minimalist design with intuitive navigation

display-p3 will become a new standard

colour space (such as RGB or sRGB) will become required in the future.

oklch is a better color space than RGB or HSL. It has caveats: all color can not be displayed properly in the Display P3 colour space.
