Il s&rsquo;écrase sous le pas de passants. Quand on est un trottoir, on ne s&rsquo;occupe pas de qui nous marche dessus, car on a un secret. On représente une partie de la vie de chacun. Construit par des ouvriers, organisé par la mairie, on a été pavé par tant de parents et pourtant pris au piège à rester fixe. Sûrement dallé, roue à la main, il est avec nous depuis des centaines d&rsquo;années pour certains, ou, l&rsquo;instant d&rsquo;une simple vie humaine, pour d&rsquo;autres.</p>https://zen1th.me/posts/future/Tue, 31 Dec 2024 12:30:00 +0200https://zen1th.me/posts/future/<p>The idea that it is impossible to know the future is quite a simple fact. Yet, I&rsquo;ve wondered what a definite proof of this would look like. Can it be done?</p> <h1 id="simulations">Simulations</h1> <p>If we wanted to predict the future, one way would be to build a simulation of the universe, and simulate the universe up to some time in the future. But for this to be useful, it would need to go fast enough (no need to predict what happens in 2030 if we need to wait until 2040 to compute the simulation).</p>https://zen1th.me/posts/native-ui-still-matters/Tue, 28 Nov 2023 18:49:06 +0100https://zen1th.me/posts/native-ui-still-matters/<p>In this day and age, most software being created have a completely different visual style from each other. It&rsquo;s often the case that Electron is used and, because you have to re-implement all widgets anyways (a problem which has been solved since the 90s, but not for HTML), you end up going for your own unique style (notwithstanding web GUI frameworks)</p> <h1 id="but-what-is-native-ui">But what IS native UI?</h1> <p>The way I would define it is an UI that&rsquo;s used everywhere in an operating system. It&rsquo;s the one that the user is the most familiar with. It doesn&rsquo;t just include the paradigms (like having a text box) but also the specifics (like the keyboard shortcuts of a text box)</p>https://zen1th.me/posts/the-musesampleganger/Wed, 21 Dec 2022 13:00:53 +0100https://zen1th.me/posts/the-musesampleganger/<p>One of MuseScore 4&rsquo;s biggest features is by far Muse Sounds. By installing an external app named Muse Hub, you get access to much higher sound quality within MuseScore.</p> <p>Common sense would be that they made that using some sort of standard interface for audio renderers, except they didn&rsquo;t. For context, Muse Hub is a proprietary closed-source app even though MuseScore&rsquo;s main strength is open-source.<br> This feels like some sort of back-stabbing to its contributors, but anyway.</p>
