A quotation from Douglas Adams

You will need to know the difference between Friday and a fried egg. It’s quite a simple difference, but an important one. Friday comes at the end of the week, whereas a fried egg comes out of a chicken. Like most things, of course, it isn’t quite that simple. The fried egg isn’t properly a fried egg until it’s been put in a frying pan and fried. This is something you wouldn’t do to a Friday, of course, though you might do it on a Friday. You can also fry eggs on a Thursday, if you like, or on a cooker. It’s all rather complicated, but it makes a kind of sense if you think about it for a while.

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
The Salmon of Doubt, Part 1 “Life,” “For Children Only” (2002) [ed. Peter Guzzardi]

#Distinction 🏆| Félicitations à Corentin Herbert, lauréat de la subvention de la Fondation Simone et Cino del Duca.

Il s’intéresse aux événements climatiques extrêmes, comme les vagues de chaleur et les transitions abruptes de la circulation atmosphérique ou océanique et leur impact sur le climat. Ses travaux visent à développer de nouveaux outils, notamment inspirés par la physique statistique, pour comprendre les mécanismes physiques sous-jacents à ces événements, les simuler et les prédire.

#Distinction 🏆| Léa Chazot-Franguiadakis reçoit le Grand Prix i-PhD 2025 pour le projet Viro-ID. Félicitations !

ViroID est une technologie innovante qui permet le suivi en temps réel des virus, ouvrant la voie à de nouvelles solutions de diagnostic et d’analyse.
La mission est double: exploiter le potentiel des virus bénéfiques, comme dans les vaccins, tout en protégeant contre les virus néfastes, afin de relever les grands défis de santé d’aujourd’hui et de demain.

It is not the first industry that has pursued profit with reckless disregard for people, planet, society, and #consequences in general. In the current regulatory climate (or lack thereof) in the country where I live and work, it could earn the #dubious #distinction of being the last industry to do so.

#Decentralized #Module #Federation #Microfrontend #Architecture

I'm working on a #webapp and I'm being #creative on the #approach. It might be considered #overcomplicated (because it is), but I'm just trying something out. It's entirely possible this approach won't work #longterm. I see it as there is #onewaytofindout. I don't recommend this approach. Just sharing what I'm trying/#investigating.

How it will be #architected: [positive-intentions.com/blog/d
Some #benefits of the #approach: [positive-intentions.com/blog/s

I find that #modulefederation and #microfrontends to generally be #discouraged when I see posts, but I think it works for me in my #approach. I'm #optimistic about the approach and the #benefits and so I wanted to #share details.

When I serve the #federatedmodules, I can also host the #storybook statics so I think this could be a good way to #document the modules in #isolation.

#Cryptography modules - cryptography.positive-intentio

#P2P framework - p2p.positive-intentions.com/?p

This way, I can create #microfrontends that consume these #modules. I can then #share the #functionality between #apps. The following apps are using a different codebase from each other (there is a #distinction between these apps in #opensource and #closesource). Sharing those #dependencies could help make it easier to roll out #updates to #coremechanics.

#P2P chat - [chat.positive-intentions.com/]
#P2P file transfer - [file.positive-intentions.com/]

The #functionality also works when I create an #Android build with #Tauri. This could also lead to it being easier to create #newapps that could use the #modules created.

I'm sure there will be some distinct #test/#maintenance #overhead, but depending on how it's #architected I think it could work and make it easier to #improve on the current #implementation.

Everything about the #project is far from finished. It could be seen as this is a #complicated way to do what #npm does, but I think this #approach allows for greater #flexibility by being able to #separate #opensource and #closesource code for the #web. (Of course as #javascript, it will always be "source code available". Especially in the age of #AI, I'm sure it's possible to #reverseengineer it like never before.)

(mastodon might not be the place for something like this, so let me know if you dont like this kind of content. i typically post on reddit and would like to shift it more towards mastodon. i also use lemmy, but mastodon has a better reach.)

We equate #language with script. That is true in most cases, but not always.

We make words and sentences in a language, but we write them in a script. Text from a language can be written in different scripts. And text from different languages can be written in the same script. ✍️ #writing #distinction

Both #Sanskrit and #Hindi texts are primarily written in #Devanagari script. And it is quite common to write Sanskrit text (especially scriptures) in the scripts of other Indian #languages.

Here's a site with the Sanskrit text of Bhagavad #Gita in 16 different scripts:
