moi et facebook

je n’arriverai jamais Ă  comprendre ce jeu de cache-cache qu’on avait avec facebook {.}.

je ne comprendrai jamais pourquoi un réseau social, du moins pacifiste, a été censuré puis accessible puis censuré pous redevenu accessible pendant les 15j passés.

les tunisiens travailleurs se devisent en trois :
_ 1 : ceux qui font le travail des autres

laws of computer programming

  1. Any given program, when running, is obsolete.
  2. Any given program costs more and takes longer.
  3. If a program is useful, it will have to be changed.
  4. If a program is useless, it will have to be documented.
  5. Any program will expand to fill available memory.
  6. The value of a program is proportional to the weight of its output.
  7. Program complexity grows until it exceeds the capabilities of the programmer who must maintain it.
  8. Any non-trivial program contains at least one bug.
  9. Undetectable errors are infinite in variety, in contrast to detectable errors, which by definition are limited.
  10. Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.

today, LEGO turns 50, it’s really amazing to see the impact of such small-multicolor-bricks on the human culture and childs games and how has meant something significant to endless millions of people around the world.
