Hypertext systems should take about 1/4 second to move from one place to another. If the delay is longer, people may be distracted; if the delay is much longer, people will stop using the system. If the delay is much shorter, people may not realize that the display has changed.

It is funny how thoughts about speed and user experience were already there before the 2000's.

Issue: Links on the web are often quite slow

One solution is to abandon hypertext links. [...] Have a one-page view.

Another strategy is to exchange one large delay for many small ones. We can sometimes arrange a Web site to to bundle large parts of the data in a package that is pre-loaded at the entrance. Within the site, link response is quick because time-consuming sound, graphic, video, and applets have been pre-loaded onto the user's computer.

A better solution, for sophisticated hypertexts that must provide crisp performance, may be to use the Web as a way to provide access to, and information about, hypertexts that can be downloaded (or purchased) as a unit and then performed on the user's machine.

The 5 major problems of the current Internet.

Thoughts of the web and hyperlinks

(In context of web gardening)

1. Many hypertexts do not require elaborate navigational apparatus.
2. Rigid hypertext structure is costly.
3. The shortest path is not always the best.
4. Large hypertexts and Web sites must often contain both parks and gardens.
5. Use punctuation sparingly; unwanted interruptions are tiresome and intrusive.
6. The boundaries of parks should be especially clear, lest readers see them as mere wilderness.
7. Rigid structure makes a large hypertext seem smaller. Complex and intricate structure makes a small hypertext seem larger, inviting deeper and more thoughtful exploration.

A website about web, links and hypertext... well it is a garden when someone can lost itself a bit.

I'm sorry, did you forget the last 200 years of technological progress advancing productivity yet leading us to work even longer hours? If we want to work less, we need unions, not tech.

Exactly.

Law 1: Utility Classes Consume the Design System, They Don’t Create It
Law 2: Utility Classes Cover Only the Low-Hanging Fruit
Law 3: Utility Classes Complement, not Supplant, Semantic CSS

Signal has open-sourced a SQLite extension that provides better support for non-latin languages (Chinese, Japanese, etc) in the Full-Text Search (FTS) virtual table.

Principles:

1. Know what motivates you
2. Not everybody needs to (or wants to) progress
3. The way up (or sideways. Or backward.): all roles are relative

The levels of experience in a company, range from Engineer I to III, then Senior engineers (and there are a variety of it).

Other potential sideways steps: Developer relations, Sales engineering, or specialist consultancy roles.

Two types of anxiety: the one that fills you with terror and the other one that tends to rush you.

A solution is framing: how to look at the situation.
A framework proposes to frame a presentation or an oral intervention with the following scale:

• Practicing / Perfection
• Enthusiasm / Audience
• Prepared / Flawless
• One of many / The big one
• Sharing Enthusiasm / Giving a presentation

The right side of this scale is what people normally imagine when they hear public speaking. It is however the wrong framing.

The positive frame would move to the left side of the spectrum. It is just practice, being enthusiastic, only preparation is needed, this is one of many public speaking so get ready for the next one too.

The trick is to switch the focus from yourself and the audience to the ideas in the talk.

The reason it doesn’t matter is because the audience is not the point. And you aren’t the point either. It’s the content. It’s the idea.

A lightweight frameworks for HTML templating

To remember it, Meta approches one of the most important admin system to talk privately with him.

Thoughtful designers lead visitors not only to the answer to their question but to better questions as well.

Highways are judged by efficiency: distance, cost, safety, and time. Garden paths play a different role; they lead us through the best routes, not the shortest. They may bend to pace our journey, curving here to reveal a view, twisting there to lead us through a shady grove or a sunny clearing.

Make an OSS version of it for the web: why not building on the web for the web?

At times, wilderness is exactly what readers want: a rich collection of resources and links. At times, rigid formality suits readers perfectly, providing precisely the information they want, no more and no less. Indeed, individual hypertexts and Web sites may contain sections that tend toward each extreme.

Often, however, designers should strive for the comfort, interest, and habitability of parks and gardens: places that invite visitors to remain, and that are designed to engage and delight them, to invite them to linger, to explore, and to reflect.

A list of awesome as we like them 😄

Let's take a look at how to spin up a simple Node server and use custom elements as templates in three popular formats

As always it depends of the need.

We pile up things to read later that we

Here's the funny thing: In trying to learn everything, we learn very little. We stuff ourselves with information but don't digest it. It's a sign of our times – we want to know more but feel empty.

But at the same time, each saved item is a reminder of our finite nature in contrast to the infinity of knowledge available.

It is a planning fallacy: we overestimate our future time and resources. A way to solve lies is by aligning our aspirations with our actions. [...] "we need to cultivate a habit of selective engagement, where we consciously choose what to consume based on its relevance and value to our personal and professional growth, creating space for thoughtful engagement with content that truly matters rather than mindlessly accumulating information."

Compléter l'outil, à voir aussi selon les besoins.

Et puis un outil un peu plus gros qui n’est qu’une idée, car j’en ai marre que les outils existants tombent ou deviennent des usines à gaz :
– former une BDD des groupes/artistes de musique, et y intégrer les albums à paraître. Le tout où on peut s’abonner à tel ou tel artiste, et ça donne un flux RSS ou un ICS personnalisé qui nous envoie un rappel lorsque l’album sort. Comme ça, ça m’évitera de louper des trucs.
Dans un premier temps, ça sera un outil perso pour suivre mes artistes préférés, vu que ça me demandera déjà pas mal de veille, mais à terme pourquoi ne pas faire un système collaboratif où quelqu’un peut proposer une date pour un album à paraître pour n’importe quel artiste. Évidemment, dans ce cas, une source sera exigée et une validation manuelle à faire (par moi). L’idée est surtout de proposer des flux RSS/ICS pour tout le monde.

eine neue Literaturgattung, bei der sich die tradierten Strukturen von Erzählungen in offene, für den Leser unerwartete Strukturen auflösen. Vielfältige Rezeptionswege werden durch die Möglichkeit, im Text zu springen, möglich. Der Leser wird dabei durch seine Auswahlentscheidungen zum Mitproduzenten des Textes.

Rigid hypertext is streetscape and corporate office: simple, orderly, unsurprising. We may find the scale impressive, we admire the richness of materials, but we soon tire of the repetitive view. We enter to get something we need: once our task is done we are unlikely to linger. We know what to expect, and we rarely receive anything more.

Baseline is a new term that defines a feature broad adoption. There are two stages:

1. The new feature is available in all last versions of the browsers
2. The new feature is widely available after 30 months after the first stage

We can then speak of baseline 2023 that groups all features usable in the considered browsers.

Limitations:

• the browsers considered are Safari, Firefox, Chrome and Edge. The rest is unknown even if they are listed on caniuse.com
• it does not take screen readers and accessibility tools in consideration as part of "availability"
