Les équipes françaises sont en réussite en Coupe d’Europe. Marseilles, Rennes et Lille sont déjà qualifiés pour les 16es de finale de leurs compétitions respectives. Paris et Toulouse sont en ballotage favorable pour se qualifier à leur tour, tandis que Lens est éliminé de la Ligue des Champions mais a encore une grande chance de conserver sa 3ème place et poursuivre en Ligue Europa. Bravo : encore merci et bonne chance, nous sommes avec vous. #218 ⚽️
XKCD at its best. I burst out laughing with xkcd.com/2861/ 🤣
Great article by Michael Pina about Devin Booker blossoming into a point guard role for the Phoenix Suns 🏀

Pour le tirage au sort de l’Euro 2024, prévu le samedi 2 décembre, y’a pots. Quatre pots exactement. Au revoir Didier, on se revoit en mars. D’ici la trêve de Noël, trois journées de championnats et la fin de la phase de groupe des Coupes d’Europe. On ne gagne pas encore de trophée en automne, mais on peut les perdre. #216 ⚽️
Great excerpt from Under the Radar, the podcast of David Smith & Marco Arment:
And my family is very well trained at this point that if they see a bug happens in one of my apps, they must immediately drop everything and bring it to me because we all know the old adage “a bug in the hand is worth two in the report.”

Toulouse a battu Liverpool. Quelle classe. Allez Toulouse n’a sans doute pas les mêmes qualités musicales intrinsèques que You’ll never walk alone mais la version d’hier soir n’est quand même pas mal. #212 ⚽️
I just posted a new post about software design: “Get rid of types you don’t control early: a lesson (re)learned”. Some Rolling Stones jokes included. 💻

And we might reconsider 2 new items for this list:

remix.run/blog needs a RSS feed. https://github.com/remix-run/remix/discussions/7506 💻
Le détachement amusé des Américains sur le nouveau NBA In-Season Tournament rejoint mon scepticisme sur la valeur sportive des coupes nationales au foot. ⚽️
I love open-source code, but when I come across something that needs improvement in an open-source repository, I sometimes hesitate to point it out because I don’t want to be seen as overly critical or ungrateful. However, I recently felt it was the right thing to do when I raised the issue that vapor-community/bcrypt may no longer be relevant in a somewhat positive manner. Most importantly, I want to express my gratitude to @[email protected] for their time and dedication to the Swift Server Workgroup. 💻
The NYT asks if people really need to shower every day. I am really glad to read this. I stopped showering every day a couple of years ago. Why? Saving water, energy, and… I really feel like I don’t need to since I started wearing clothes that don’t get smelly as fast as cotton (such as merino wool or technical fabrics like Uniqlo’s Heattech). 🌱
Bandcamp Schadenfreude. I was offered a deal to become an employee for Bandcamp back in 2011. Then the deal was off for reasons that didn’t make sense. Since then, I had mixed feelings: I liked the product as a listener, not so much as a musician, and I resent founders and managers from then — I know I shouldn’t but I do — and I am not sure they are genuinely nice people. 💻
I have a songbook GitHub project that contains chordpro files and creates my own PDF songbook. I geeked out a bit so that the PDF is generated by a GitHub action and uploaded to my new web home that I am slowly building brick by brick. You can see the final result on my Guitar Songbook page. 🎸💻
I used to love Evernote so much. I had to log in to access old content today, and it made me upset to see how bad of a product it is now. For instance, I could not find a way to see who were the people having access to a shared note. 💻
Les épisodes sur les Stones dans Very Good Trip, de Michka Assayas, me rappellent le Rock Press Club qui leur avait été consacré sur Canal Jimmy : ce devait être en 1999 ou 2000. Et la présence de quelques épisodes du Rock Press Club sur YouTube me réjouit. 🎵

(from the excellent Studio Neat’s gazette, which is very recommended… Exhibit B: 1$ bill restauration)
Renewal costs for .net domains on Gandi are going through the roof. Transferring to CloudFlare now. 💻
This factorial numbers comic by XKCD is hilarious. xkcd.com/2835/ 🤣
