TILs (Today I Learned) are useless, have terrible signal-to-noise ratio, create FOMO.

True, but they are not meant to be the best raw material ever made. They are made to add some randomness in your feeds (or way your consume news or content). They are personal. They don't share or are structure as a lesson. Most of the TILs I read are on Mastodon, toots shared on the fly because someone learned something. The tag Today I Learned is missing, but it remains a TIL nonetheless.

TILs are a way to discover things. Why on earth do you need some random facts to spark your interest in something?

Good point.

There are other advantages to the TILs. They can be read on the fly, in public transportations. They don't need focus or immersion as a fiction book needs.

I think in between: a majority of TILs is undesirable, a few can be useful. A balance is healthy. It is sometimes convenient to put your concentration aside, and distract yourself while reading something short.

How to prototype in Rust?

• use simple types: String, Vec, Box, Rc and Arc<Mutex> to avoid ownership and lifetime issues.
• make use of type inference
• use .unwrap(), and quick context with bail!() und with_context of the crate anyhow
• run the code (and tests) automatically with bacon
• have a look to cargo-script
• Use println! and dbg! for debugging: dbg! has advantages such as printing file name and line number, outputs the expression adn less syntax-heavy. dbg!(x)
• Design through types
• rely on the todo! macro
• rely on the unreachable! for assumptions of dead code branches: it documents assumptions
• rely on assert! for invariants: it documents assumptions
• avoid generics and lifetimes: use concrete types and owned types
• keep a flat hierarchy (of files), then only starts playing with mod around. All in the same file.
• start small

Key points

• Writing is a way of thinking. Write early and often and always.
• Write in plaintext to concentrate on writing rather than formatting.
• Keep a work journal to help focus your thoughts at the beginning of each day.
• Keep standing files, such as "someday/maybe", to capture far-off tasks and keep your main to-do.txt file lean, clean, and relevant.
• Write a personal manifesto to help define yourself.
• When creating drafts of your work product, focus on content and structure, rather than formatting.
• Use the lightweight markup language Markdown to provide basic structure and formatting hints to your drafts.
• Use a really good text editor, such as Sublime Text, that keeps your hands on the keyboard, for efficient writing and word processing.
• Backup and revision history are important. You don't want to lose anything.

Anyways, there’s a real friction between great UX and great security, and I can appreciate a lot of the challenges and compromise required to strike a balance.

The UX is currently hard.

There is often websites that have "bad" UX as listed in the post. The majority starts to have the "better". The "best" does not exist yet.

The code snippet are great

• Springy easing with linear()
• Typed custom properties
• View transitions for page navigation
• Transition animation for
  and [popover]
• Transition animation for
• Animated adaptive gradient text

Une excellente nouvelle.

*le redressement rapide de la production nucléaire (361,7 TWh), après un niveau historiquement faible en 2022 (279,0 TWh) et une reprise progressive en 2023,

• une production hydraulique exceptionnelle, au plus haut depuis 2013 (74,7 TWh)
• la croissance soutenue de la production des filières éolienne et solaire (70 TWh en 2024, contre 46 TWh en 2019).

So it's similar to user agents, do the same thing without standard. What could go wrong? Well the same as User Agents.

It uses Tauri under the hood to provide efficient defaults to desktop apps.
