Weekly Shaarli
Week 05 (January 29, 2024)
Some tricks the author uses and explains:
- using
<link rel="preload"
as="ROLE" href="URL">` to download - lazy-loading the search index (and this feature) as it is not used widely, and costs bandwidth (1.8MB)
- Reducing the cost of webfonts: shrinking the typeset of the font (especially for titles) + combining css files
The author reduced the page load from 11 seconds to 4 seconds with these.
There’s a standard way to make part of a page not visible until the user requests it: the
tag. You may have seen this on big code examples in some of my other posts.
Interoperable messaging apps should not break privacy with the help of encryption.
- Forget your last job
- Add value from the start: how to improve the onboarding process
- Ask a lot of questions
- trivial with quick answers
- not trivial with an in-depth answert that gives a lot of context
- completely nontrivial and no one had ever asked it.
- Have uncomfortable meetings with your manager
- Things are there for a reason
- Get context
- Socialize
A theme that fits for the PSES website.

Oui, ce logo me semble bien meilleur
The main point is why do we share so much stuff to websites no longer interested in the social web it was founded on.
A complex challenge as the official standards are implemented in few websites.
Guesses have to be made.
Software correctness is indeed praised by many, but in many cases it’s not entirely clear what it even means for software to be correct. In reality, it often boils down to some hand-wavy principle of least surprise, where a staggering amount of software requirements are entirely made up on the fly in response to the behavior of the code.

Google will no longer back up the Internet: Cached webpages won't exist anymore. See https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/google-search-kills-off-cached-webpages/.
The author put thoughts into caching webpages. Each link should have metadata associated to it: a favicon or an image, a description and the main language of the page.
They are already many projects for it.

A dump of all stack exchange in sqlite files
There is no clear resources on how to read from SSDs. As long as the read access amount can be reduced, then it is all good.
C'est pas le Gorafi
- Check if the showcases are reachable
- Deactivate them when they are definitely not reachable anymore
- Provide a backup on Internet Archive
export type Result<T, E> = { ok: true, result?: T } | { ok: false, err: E }
Advantages: everything.
Disadvantages: it creates an object for it.
It is a quick way to test it before using a small library https://shaarli.lyokolux.space/?NJ9Efg
Call it a hobby if you will, but writing gives me something that nothing else provides.
The benefits of it run far deeper than the sum of its parts. No person should judge their blog based on the number of views the posts get because it always serves a different purpose. It allows you to publish whatever it is you want to publish, get it out of your brain and own it from start to end. I don’t need a blog, but everyone should have one.
Bureaucracy tends to make generic rules valid for 95% of the people. But what happens to the 5% in each case? The job becomes automated, and these cases are not handled.
The author proposes to reduce the size of the communities, so they can fit to each individual.
I WRITE JOKES IN CAPITALS.
THIS ONE WAS WRITTEN IN OSLO.
Everything can be self-hosted. The author merged his professional side with its personal.
I also got the same result after the first attempt
Kurzgesagt is awesome :)

It could be nice for the #pses website
An app can exchange messages with native applications using an API that is similar to the other message passing APIs.
Il n'y a pas de certification pour ouvrir un refuge. "un « certificat d’engagement et de connaissance », délivré par un professionnel du monde équin. Mais « aucun modèle, aucun document n’a été créé », constate Stéphanie Girard à la SPA."
À propos de l'adoption:
« Des gens nous ont rendu trois poneys en expliquant “On se fait vieux”. Une dame nous a dit “Reprenez ma jument, elle ne m’amuse plus”. Quand un équidé revient, c’est un échec, on aimerait, quand il est adopté, que ce soit son dernier foyer. »
Vanina Deneux-Le Barh appelle, elle, à enfin « penser collectivement les enjeux de la retraite et de la fin de vie des chevaux ».
Qui sont souvent ignorés,alors que la durée de vie d'un cheval doit se penser sur 30 à 35 ans.
We had four lawyers, three privacy experts, and two campaigners look at Microsoft's new Service Agreement, and none of our experts could tell if Microsoft plans on using your personal data – including audio, video, chat, and attachments from 130 products, including Office, Skype, Teams, and Xbox – to train its AI models.
Instead, I find it more exciting to write about things I don’t yet fully understand, where new information has become available or where I want to clarify my thinking. In other words, to “write so that I know what I think,” or to “write what I need to know.”
The trolley does not have to kill.
