For any song with a MIDI, it creates a mario-style (8-bit) version of it.

For a software release, it is relevant to include what the software is doing.

I just have no idea what three quarters of these projects actually do. When you announce a new release, please give us (your adoring but slightly confused audience) just a tiny bit of context. What the software does, why the release is cool and what it requires to work.

The semantic of Rust make it good to be produced by AI.

Based on this photo, how many of our ES servers do you think fit on top of each other in one of our self-designed racks?

Website idea: enter the year you left school and the website will generate a list of outdated facts and concepts that you were taught at school and which have since been disproven.

Sometime around the 2020 era, we lost the right to be mediocre at things we love.

No longer can you just bake bread...you must start a sourdough side hustle lol. Wanna stay fit and go jogging or running? Nah, you gotta optimize your biometrics for a marathon. What my point is that every hobby has been enshittified and gentrified into a brand opportunity.

This strange infatuation with optimization culture is killing the human spirit.

So this new year, starting tomorrow, one of my resolutions is to do something bad but fun. Maybe I write a terrible poem. I like to draw and paint, so perhaps I will draw a horse that looks like a table or sing off-key in the showers or in front of my loved ones. The algorithm driving the mainstream social media wants me to be a polished product, but my humanity lives in these messy, unoptimized, cringe-inducing joyful failures.

I will try to reclaim the right to be an amateur. Will you join me?

Donc selon cette expérience, il serait plus intéressant de faire tourner de vieux programmes windows sur Linux au lieu de Windows, ou des programmes Linux sur Linux.

Lol, à voir les résultats, mais GG WP

A backend as a service? It may be useful someday.

while I’m thinking on this, this is generally the framework I use to come up with blog topics:

• What have I worked on lately/learned/tried that might be beneficial for people to learn about?
• What opinions do I have currently that I haven’t expressed thoroughly?
• What’s something cool I’m caring about recently?
• What’s my strategy around a certain topic? (that’s this post!)

They have to be able to talk about us without us. What this phrase means, in its simplest form, is that you have to tell a story so clear, so concise, so memorable and evocative that people can repeat it for you even after you’ve left the room.

• ground it in your values
• start with the principle
• know what makes you unique: There can’t be platitudes or generalities or vague assertions as a core part of the message
• be evocative: avoid details and pick a small subset of the most emotionally gripping parts of your story. You'll have time to go in-depth later when people are interested.
• enemies become friends: in a business or commercial context, customers can berely keep straight the difference between two competitors. What do we have in common, because those folks might not have sworn allegiance, but but they may have chosen out of convenience.
• find joyce in repetition: a disciplined, collaborative, evocative message becomes a mantra for a community
• don't obsess over exact wording: as long as it's not a "telephone game", it's a win

What happens when your pricing lives in three places? The pricing page, the comparison table, the footer CTA. In markdown-land, you update three files. Or you build a templating system that pulls from a canonical source. At which point you've invented content references. At which point you're building a CMS.

What happens when legal needs to update the compliance language that appears on 47 pages? You grep for the old string and replace it. Except the string has slight variations. Except someone reworded it slightly on the enterprise page. Except now you need to verify each change because regex can't understand intent. Now you are building a CMS.

Markdown files are the content equivalent of denormalized strings everywhere. It works for small datasets. It becomes a maintenance nightmare at scale.

The solution is normalization: a single source of truth.

The author built an MCP server to merge content conflicts (similar to git, but not limited to lines).

Tonal is an audio project exploring water issues nationally with a special focus on the River Tone in Somerset. Each podcast episode is a riverside conversation with someone who has a strong personal or professional relationship to water and the river, building a broad base of knowledge from many distinctive perspectives. Tonal is a project by artist Feral Practice.

Le propos de "l'effondrement des puissances" de Leopold Kohr se résume à un certain point: à partir d’un certain seuil plus rien ne marche bien.

Tout "trop" grand devient néfaste.

Pablo Pernot perçoit deux références:

L'union européenne qui propose le fédéralisme des collectivités locales, 2 sièges par région pour avoir plus de siège, mais qui ne vote plus comme la France, mais comme une région.

La capitalisme ne pose aucune problème, sauf quand on dépasse un seuil de grandeur, quand quelque chose devient trop puissant. Avec d’autres mots, le problème n’est pas le capitalisme mais quand le capitalisme n’est aux mains que de certains.

Il suffirait donc d'Avoir des seuil et d'éviter cette folie des grandeurs.

Chapitre 11: mais cela sera-t-il fait?

Non!

Depuis 75 ans le livre reste juste, mais il n’est jamais trop tard pour essayer, pour changer (le 1er décembre le trou de la couche d’ozone a été complètement comblé).

Our little planet just can't stop chatting about nonsense, and scramblers know only one use for information: to perceive it. They can't help but listen to all our yapping that only wastes their precious brain cycles and reduces their chances of survival. No peaceful species would do this.

For the longest time, writing was more expensive than reading. [...] The text used to have an innate proof-of-thought, a basic token of humanity. In contrast, AI made all media cheap. But AI only talks in response. So a human must use it.

"There's nothing wrong with using AI. because the transaction between the AI and the user is fully consensual. But whenever you propagate AI output, you're at risk of legitimizing it with your good name, providing it with a fake proof-of-thought." It can be fine because the output is owned, but in other cases, it's not. Our scrambler brain feels betrayed in this case.

A contact page that avoid contact, exactly.

The problem was, they were thinking about their inspiration sites from an aesthetic point of view, not from a user experience perspective

I see this example so much! https://res.cloudinary.com/nicchan/image/upload/w_752,h_718,c_lfill,f_auto/v1765177043/contact

The discounting rates led the client to undervalue the team and treat them as executors rather than experts. They argue that clients (and sometimes designers) often dismiss early design phases like discovery, and wireframing as boring hurdles to reach visual branding, but it's so much important! The takeaway is that service providers should educate clients on why these foundational steps matter, because understanding the “why” and getting structure right is essential for good design—even if it’s less exciting than prototyping or visual identity.

#blogging

By blogging, I’m putting a body of work out there that communicates my values and ethos. While much of the details of my client work has to remain private, these posts can be public, and hopefully they can help me find people who resonate with what I have to offer. Or you know, just be bold enough to communicate ‘Fuck off’ to those who don’t!
