« The Triumph and Tragedy of .env Files » by Ryan Blunden, 17.06.2021
▻https://blog.doppler.com/the-triumph-and-tragedy-of-env-files

They helped us in the past, but .env files are simply too risky and cumbersome for modern application development. […]

While they may have served us well in the past, it’s time to acknowledge the serious shortcomings of .env files in order to embrace the next evolutionary step: Using a SecretOps Platform such as Doppler to provide centralized and secure storage for secrets.

That’s why we built Doppler—Removing the need for .env files by providing a dashboard for managing environment variables that works with every cloud provider and platform.

Une architecture pourtant cruciale, qui peine à faire son chemin dans les entreprises. En attendant l’éveil, voici une solution PaaS clé-en-mains pour celles qui ont tout dans le « Cloud ».

«Passende Mobiliar-Produkte für Bexio-Startups dank Nachtschichten?» par Adrienne Fichter, 08.06.2022
▻https://dnip.ch/2022/06/08/passende-mobiliar-produkte-fuer-bexio-startups-dank-nachtschichten

Viele Kunden sind wohl aus allen Wolken gefallen als sie am 19. Mai eine Email erhalten haben, in der mitgeteilt wird, dass bexio ab dem 1. Juni 2022 «Stamm-Daten für Analyse- und Marketingzwecke mit der Muttergesellschaft ‹die Mobiliar› […] teilen» wird.

Die wichtigsten rechtlichen Punkte zu dieser Causa hat IT-Anwalt Martin Steiger in seinem Blog zusammengefasst, Unternehmer Urs Prantl hat mit seiner Kolumne den Ärger zum ersten Mal sichtbar auf Inside IT formuliert. […]

« A shallow dive into DataScript internals » by Nikita Tonsky, 23.02.2015
▻https://tonsky.me/blog/datascript-internals

Excellent article, concis et instructif, par l’auteur et contributeur principal de Datascript.

An overview of DataScript code base. Without going into much detail, it paints the overall picture of how code is structured, what parts it’s built of and what purpose they serve. If you’re interested in studying DataScript sources, this is a great place to start.

For those who are using DataScript this post may help to get better understanding of machinery behind public APIs and make better use of them. […]

« Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah, They’re Here ! ES Modules in Node.JS » par Gil Tayar (@giltayar), 03.2020 @ NodeTLV
▻https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1O1-PF35FXVWnW-V-8QGPWO_5A0LQ3WGABVreOcZs1rw

Rappels utiles, s’agissant de migrer du code CJS vers ESM ; j’ai récemment buté sur l’intégration d’une base de code AMD dans ObservableHQ :

ESM vs CJS

1. ESM is strict / CJS is not
2. ESM is browser compatible / CJS is not
3. ESM is statically parsed / CJS is not
4. ESM is async, and supports top-level await / CJS is not

ESM vs Babel

1. ESM is strict / Yeah, OK, so is Babel
2. ESM is browser compatible / Babel transpilation is not
3. ESM is statically parsed / Babel transpilation is not
4. ESM is async, and supports top-level await / Babel transpilation is not, and does not
5. ESM is native / Babel is transpiled 🤢

Conditional Exports ! Both ESM and CJS !

{
 "exports": {
   ".": {
     "import": "./main.mjs",
     "require": "./main.js"
   }
}

La présentation contient aussi un historique succinct de l’introduction des modules, qui aide à se replacer dans le contexte de CJS et AMD.

La présentation est truffée de mèmes cinématographiques, sans doute destinés à rafraîchir l’esprit et soutenir l’attention d’un auditoire — hors de ce contexte, il faut toutefois être bien luné et manifester quelqu’indulgence :)

«Build, Ship, & Maintain Design Systems with Backlight» by (sponsored) Chris Coyier / CSS Tricks, 18.01.2022
▻https://css-tricks.com/design-systems-with-backlight

« Design systems are an entire job these days. Agencies are hired to create them. In-house teams are formed to handle them, shipping them so that other teams can use them and helping ensure they do. Design systems aren’t a fad, they are a positive evolution of how digital design is done. Backlight is the ultimate all-in-one development tool for design systems.

I think it’s interesting to start thinking about this at the end. What’s the best-case scenario for a design system for websites? I think it’s when you’ve published a versioned design system to npm. That way teams can pull it in as a dependency on the project and use it. How do you do that? Your design system is on GitHub and you publish from there. How do you do that? You work on your design system through a development environment that pushes to GitHub. What is Backlight? It’s that development environment. »

«Why your design system needs content design» by Ardena Gonzalez Flahavin / Backlight.dev, 07.04.2022
▻https://backlight.dev/blog/why-your-design-system-needs-content-design

« If you think about it, design systems actually have a lot of content:

1. The content that tells you what a design system is and how to use it.
2. The content in the components themselves: buttons, form labels, error messages…
3. The documentation describing the patterns, rules and usage guidelines.

If it’s a more advanced system, there will likely be content design guidelines for how to write in the product—tone of voice, grammar and style guides.

And yet, many design system teams don’t include a content designer or UX writer. If you’re still on the fence, here are 3 good reasons to make content design a part of your design system. […] »

« JavaScript type coercion explained » by Alexey Samoshkin, freeCodeCamp, 17.01.2018

« This article goes in-depth on how type coercion works in JavaScript, and will arm you with the essential knowledge, so you can feel confident explaining what following expressions calculate to. […]

Type coercion is the process of converting value from one type to another (such as string to number, object to boolean, and so on). Any type, be it primitive or an object, is a valid subject for type coercion.

To recall, primitives are: number, string, boolean, null, undefined + Symbol (added in ES6). […]

The first rule to know is there are only three types of conversion in JavaScript: to string; to boolean; to number.

Secondly, conversion logic for primitives and objects works differently, but both primitives and objects can only be converted in those three ways. […] »

An interview with Bellingcat journalist Michael Colborne on the Azov movement in Ukraine - ICCT
▻https://icct.nl/publication/ukraine-bellingcat-journalist-michael-colborne

https://icct.nl/app/uploads/2022/03/Publications-55.png

Even in the context of the current invasion, I don’t see Azov showing the potential right now to become much more transnational than it already is. Sure, the movement has recruited several dozen foreign fighters — not all of whom could be defined as ‘far right,’ in my view — and has its support from allies across Europe. But for the most part the movement is concerned, understandably so, with what is happening at home. And whether it grows or not in the wake of this brutal, awful war remains to be seen. Ironically, I think the one person in the world most interested in seeing Azov grow because of the war is Vladimir Putin himself.

Great Literature Is Surprisingly Arithmetic - Scientific American
▻https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/great-literature-is-surprisingly-arithmetic

almost all novels and plays provide one of only six “emotional experiences” from beginning to end—a rags-to-riches exuberance, say, or a rise and fall of hope (below, top). Researchers at the University of Vermont graphed the happiness and sadness of words that occurred across the pages of more than 1,300 fiction works to reveal the emotional arcs and discovered relatively few variations.

« L’avocate américaine qui a obtenu le droit à l’avortement est décédée » Le Temps / AFP, 27.12.2021
▻https://www.letemps.ch/monde/lavocate-americaine-obtenu-droit-lavortement-decedee

« Avec une collègue, Sarah Weddington avait plaidé en 1973 dans l’affaire ayant conduit au fameux arrêt « Roe v. Wade », qui autorise l’avortement. Elle a disparu dimanche à 76 ans, au moment où cette disposition est de plus en plus attaquée. […]

‹Elle a plaidé avec Linda Coffee ce qui était le premier cas de sa carrière, Roe v. Wade, alors qu’elle sortait à peine de l’université de droit›, a écrit Susan Hays, une des anciennes étudiantes de Sarah Weddington, sur Twitter.

‹Elle a été mon professeur› et ‹m’a ouvert les yeux sur la fragilité de mes droits et de ma liberté›, a-t-elle souligné […]

L’affaire « Jane Roe » – de son vrai nom Norma McCorvey –, portée contre le procureur du comté de Dallas, Henry Wade, est finalement arrivée devant la Cour suprême qui s’est prononcée en faveur du droit à l’avortement.

Le droit à l’avortement aux Etats-Unis - qui n’est pas garanti par une loi fédérale – repose depuis sur cette jurisprudence : l’arrêt historique de la Cour suprême, ‹Roe v. Wade› de 1973. […] »
