You can try it yourself here: app.everything.diena.co This is a proof of concept reusing the zoomable timeline from my main project called Diena Journal. It's a collaborative and social journal app. More info here: diena.co

I have imported 4 million events from wikipedia to display them on a zoomable timeline

Je trouve ça hyper intéressant comme idée mais j'ai l'impression que tu pourrais toujours hacker le truc en imprimant ton image IA et en la prenant en photo avec un setup de bonne qualité

Un consortium a été créé en 2019 pour tracer l'origine et les modifications d'une image. Ça s'appelle "Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity" et y'a pas mal de monde dedans: c2pa.org

Enhance digital safety through the use of content authenticity tools. C2PA provides a way to ensure content transparency by analyzing the origin of media.

And then there's Swift: "The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions" 😬

couldn't come up with a good implementation for describing a S-shaped curve I had in mind, so I opened up this geometry tool I last used in high school

GeoGebra is part of the workflow

today i discover the java.sql "ResultSet.wasNull()" API, which tells you whether the last thing you got from the ResultSet is null. Fun pattern where java hands you a landmine and then a tool to defuse it

the following wonky code:
var eventLabel = resultSet.getString("label")
if (resultSet.wasNull()) {
eventLabel = "not found"
}

it's really hard for me to make a good user interface because i have zero sense of consistency. the struggle is between having zero styling but then it's ugly or adding styling in a hundred different way which is interesting for me but then the app looks like this:

Oh yeah I have plenty to discuss!! Nullable types are nice but they don't replace an option type, as you need to define your own if you want to encode Option<Option<T>> (i.e. you cannot write "T??"). Result: only the success value is typed, not the error Thanks for the article, I'll take a look

I'm learning Kotlin & Compose multiplatform. And even if it was tough at start, I'm now enjoying using this toolchain ! Some weirdnesses though, like the absence of Option or typed Result types. And no checked exceptions ? 😶‍🌫️

A collaborative & social journal. It's been a while (2018) since I wanted to build this, but never got around to do it. I mean I did an ugly web prototype, but now I want to do something usable.

I'm usually a lurker on these kind of platforms, only writing a few posts people would qualify as life updates. But 2025 is my year of exploring so I'm going to post more ! This account will talk about technology & my personal project: a memories app I'm building for me, friends & family.

Are you doing it in Kotlin or experimenting with a new language ?
