I also agree: if you act alone on your free time, then go for simplicity. You have a limited time budget and it should be fun.
Trying new ones when they are needed makes also sense, but only when they make sense.
What is the maintainable way to build things?
For CSS, how do you structure tokens?
- Naming things: --umap-color-darkBlue?
- Give a meaning to names: --color-primary: var(--umap-color-darkBlue);
Lorsqu’on envisage un commun sur ces 10 prochaines années, comment trouver une stratégie maintenable qui s’inscrira dans la durée avec enthousiasme ?
Le contraire de Tailwind :/
However, most of the content being produced is not to make you better, it is solely to convince you there is a hack to ‘success’ and to attain it you just need to do this one thing. [...]
The fact that people believe there is a hack to everything is really the issue. Everyone wants a quick, easy fix. [...]
There might be ways that appear shorter, or might shave some time off sometimes in very specific circumstances, but they simply don’t exist. They can’t exist. Otherwise, they would just be ‘the way’.
A great media query for example disabling custom fonts!
Meadow realized:
- the writings are influenced by the reading and their style
- there are no real guideline in how to create posts and what is needed to fulfill.
- the way Meadow write solidifies over time and contradict with the two upper points.

Voyager 1 was launched in early September 1977.
Voyager was the second spacecraft to fly past Jupiter, and the first to take close-up photos of Jupiter’s moons. It flew on past Saturn, and examined Saturn’s moon Titan, the only moon with an atmosphere. And then it flew onwards, on and on, for another forty years. It officially left the Solar System and entered interstellar space in 2012. It just kept going, further and further into the infinite emptiness
Voyager kept going, and kept going, until it was over 15 billion kilometers away. At the speed of light, the Moon is one and a half seconds away. The Sun is about 8 minutes away. Voyager is twenty-two hours away. Send a radio signal to it at lunch on Monday, and you’ll get a response back Wednesday morning.

Every new user being shocked that DMs aren’t actually private is kinda scary because it means that everybody just assumes DMs on other platforms are private
because they aren’t. The only difference between fedi and other social media is that fedi admins don’t have a vested interest in making you think DMs are private

Je ne sais plus qui disait : "une interface c'est comme une blague, si tu as besoin de l'expliquer c'est qu'elle est mauvaise"
The article is well written and connects multiple topics: line of code and care work to the software, computer architecture and speed, its industry and more.
Debian 12, for comparison, is 1,341,564,204 lines of code. For comparison, Google Chrome is about 40 million lines, which is in the same ballpark as the Linux kernel these days. No one, even a team, can read these entirely.
Computers aren't much faster now than they were a decade ago, and they will probably never again return to the rate of performance improvement they had for 60 years up to the mid-noughties.
The thing is, that doesn't scale very well. On the desktop we have four-core machines and now we're moving to eight-plus cores, but a single person can't use that very helpfully, so instead, we're getting computers with a mixture of high-performance but hot, power-hungry cores, and lower-performance, cooler, but more electrically-efficient cores.
A limit to multiple cores is the Amdahl's law: even if a program can be made 95 per cent parallel, the maximum speedup you can get is about 20 times, no matter how many processor cores you throw at it.
There are no real guidelines on how to create posts. There are no expectations you need to fulfill, no boxes you need to check. There's nothing you have to do besides doing whatever you want.
Pourquoi est-ce qu'il y a du financement public là-dedans? Cela n'est pas durable, pour peu d'avantages pour la population (mon avis) et est donc à perte. L'argent pourrait être mieux employé.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, here’s a thread of pickup lines for the programmer in your life♥️
- Are you a CLI benchmarking tool? Because you’re looking
hyperfinetoday - Do you write Rust? Because you clearly care about my safety🦀
- Do you write JavaScript? Because I bet you know what
thiscould mean - Has anyone ever called you pnpm? Because you’re my favorite package manager 📦
- Excuse me, is your name @vite
- Because you’re the best development I’ve seen in years.👀
- Let’s trade—you buy me dinner and I’ll buy you a new domain name.💰
I like the stickers: "GeeksForHumanity" and "Move purposefully and fix things".
The dangerous version of masculinity sold by the patriarchy is a social construct that can, in fact, be opted out of. Men and masculine people can construct a masculinity that is not toxic, that does not promote violence, that is centered around healthy relationships and communication and helping others.
It is estimated that up to 88% of the data stored in the cloud is ROT (Redundant, Obsolete or Trivial) #DataROT.
There are also "dark data": data collected by companies in the course of their regular business activities, but which is not used for any other purpose.
The service JS bin is often used for one time sharing, stores currently 130 GB of code. Most of it is ROT.
The current apps are designed to create data that live forever. Maybe it is time we set deletion time to the data, or at least an expiration time.
So there are some ideas of the author.
One possibility is to introduce more friction in to the process of creating data that live forever. An account can be needed for example.
Email clients could be designed in a way that encourages (or even requires) users to configure settings for automatic deletion after a certain time period.
When companies make it so easy for us to create junk data at virtually no cost, while making huge profits themselves, they shouldn’t be permitted to pass the cost of cleaning it up onto the individual. They need to take responsibility for their own sprawling data problem, and its planetary impact.
