Build a CLI tool, check with the other existing tools and make a UI for it. It can include a preview for example.
The project is no longer maintained, and a comparison exists with other tools: https://github.com/coolwanglu/pdf2htmlEX/wiki/Comparison
Un comparateur de l'impact CO2
Après la période de covid, ce n'est pas une blaque.
The act of inviting users (and writing usage instructions aimed at a general audience is an act of inviting users) forms an agreement between me as a maintainer and the user.
It depends indeed: if someone invites users, or simply publish it as is.
Debian is a large, complex operating system, and a huge open source project. It’s thirty years old now.
Debian wants to be a high-quality, secure general purpose operating system that consists only of free and open source software that runs on most kinds of computers that are in active use in the world. [...] The only real choice Debian makes here is on whether the software is free and whether it’s plausible for Debian to maintain a high quality package.
Debian is a democracy in its governance and power structure. It has a formal constitution.
Debian is self-contained without bundled libraries, has a social contract.
Because Debian is huge, the project ships slowly.
"When we design for disabilities we make things better for everyone"
What would be a social media with 100 posts per user ?
So for now, here’s a collection of articles that to some degree answer the question “Why have a personal website?” with “Because it’s fun, and the internet used to be fun.”
Cool pourla nouvelle. On remarque que les ventes, malgré une explosion en 2016, reste maintenant stable a peu de choses près sur un an.
Je me de mandes toujours ce que penses les journalistes à dire que les smartphones se sont moins vendus par rapport au mois dernier. Comme cela sans explication, et bien cela ne sert à rien.
Get people to start their own websites as easily as possible.
At the time of writing, it is a great work in progress.
The studied website https://www.cop28.com/
Computational resources are all resources of energy and material that are involved in any given task that requires computing.
These are finite and do not double every new generation. [...] On the other hand, the demand for computational resources is set to increase considerably. [...] Therefore, as a society we need to start treating computational resources as finite and precious, to be utilized only when necessary, and as frugally as possible.
As detailed in the paper, we cannot count on renewables to eliminate CO2 emissions from electricity in time to meet the climate targets. Reducing the energy consumption is the only option.
The projections at the current rate are also alarming for 2040. Also
The production of this next generation of devices will create more emissions than any operational gains can offset.
Based on https://eeb.org/library/coolproducts-report/ the devices should last 25 years
The vision for zero-carbon compting is then to improve purely through better computing science. The computational capacity will in effect increase without any increase in energy consumption. Meanwhile, technologies for the next generation of devices, designed for energy efficiency as well as long life will be developed.
The author details multiple research challenges in cloud computing, Ultra-HD video &VR/AR (really?), IoT, and mobile devices.
HCI can make users aware of the energy/carbon costs of their actions, nudge users towards more sustainable practices and interfaces can both influence energy consumption and the useful life of devices.
Quelques gestes d'écoconception, que YouTube n'a pas implémenté, ou va au contraire de cela.
A list of sites that weight less than 10 KB
A search input that expands itself on focus. It animates the width, but it uses CSS grid for the main layout.
The last version of the WCAG released the 5th of October
Curl reached the 3 000 contributors
We cannot say much about the contributors because in an effort to lower the bars and reduce friction, we also do not ask them about details.
Also the graph about contributor commits is special! There are so many contributors with 1 commits or between 2-5.
An extension of JSON to allow one valid JSON entity per line.
It optimize the parsing because the entire JSON file does not have to be loaded first.
I may want these parts in the future:
I am connecting the folding API in Neovim to the Tree-sitters folding functions
Configuring 'puremourning/vimspector'
And also the parts starting from Cargo Power with Terminal Access. Let's keep the learning curve low and learn step by step.
It looks interesting! In JS, snapshot testing is a must because objects are everywhere.
It can be useful in Rust too.
It will solves a lot of tooltip or popover issues
En résumé: 7-zip avec le format d'archive 7z :)

En parlant de l'université
Mon expérience universitaire démontre que les organisations qui sont censées nous servir d’élite intellectuelle sont tout autant corrompues et dénuées de l’imagination qui est pourtant le cœur de leur mission.
Et de l'utilisation de plateformes privées
Bon nombre de militants écologistes se regroupent désormais sur des plateformes publicitaires comme Facebook ou Google qui cherchent à privatiser l’information et les espaces de discussions en nous poussant à la consommation.
Cela me semble être un argument tout à fait recevable:
Le parallèle avec l’écologie est troublant à l’heure où la doxa politique consiste à concilier écologie et consumérisme. L’écologie de marché est promue comme une solution exactement de la même manière que l’open source était vu comme une manière pour le logiciel libre de s’imposer.
Nul besoin d’être prophète pour prédire que le résultat sera identique, car il l’est déjà : une situation aggravée, mais perçue comme acceptable, car le combat fait désormais partie du passé. Les militants restants forment une arrière-garde décatie.
Le marché des compensations carbone, qui produit plus de pollution que s’il n’existait pas tout en autorisant les plus gros pollueurs à s’acheter une conscience, n’est que le premier de nombreux exemples. L’absurde hypocrisie des entreprises de se prétendre « écologiques » ou « vertes » en est une autre. En vérité, il n’y a pas de compromis à faire avec l’économie consumériste, car elle est la racine du mal qui nous ronge.

Selon une étude menée par Nexthink, la moitié du parc installé en entreprises de terminaux sous Windows serait incapable d'adopter Windows 11.
Cela fera autant de machines potentielle pour GNU/Linux.
L'étude a été menée par Nexthink au premier trimestre 2022. Elle porte sur 3,12 millions de terminaux de 457 organisations clientes de Nexthink de 8 secteurs de marché
