HTML is not a programming language ;)

And thanks especially for the Lethonomia, I'll know what to blame ;)

Excellent, I would have loved to come up with something of this kind. Thanks for saving me a couple neurons

In a concert, "the silence following Mozart is still by Mozart"

by croisillon  ·  link  ·  parent  ·  post: Ask Hubski: Silence -what role does it play in your life?

I'm just gonna drop a couple of things here without overthinking it: - my ears shut themselves when they feel like: I don't even try to understand what speakers say at stations or airports (almost 100% chance it's not for me), I can learn or write with the radio talking... - while I am quite "good public" and like very different music styles, there is unfortunately still tons of music I can't stand ; i was known in my previous job for powering-off radios and stealing the remote control just in case. I listen much rather to my own car's motor than to bad radio. - I participated once in an art workshop about city sounds and... I proposed a part about silence - one of my previous job was to get international youngsters with difficult backgrounds to enjoy working together towards a common goal ; when visiting Berlin I brought them usually in small groups to the fantastic room of silence in Brandenburger Tor

by croisillon  ·  link  ·  parent  ·  post: I understand many of you come from reddit but can we please stop bringing the drama to hubski?

I've never been on Reddit because when I had some time to consume there used to be a great french-speaking site doing the job and filling my needs (called kopikol for whoever cares). Then I pretty much lost time for that active passiveness.

I was made aware of Hacker News (HN) in 2011 by someone who knew I was into web creation ; and from there I once discovered Hubski, which happened to be much broader than HN and at the same time very quiet comment-wise (any reddit is filled with 500 comments and dare I say, I've felt like Hubski is on a trench since that day redditors came en masse and for that reason am participating way less).

Don't have much more to say but... thanks for the interesting thoughts you put into your comments

by croisillon  ·  link  ·  parent  ·  post: What's the best (and/or most interesting) piece of advice you've ever heard?

In grad school I heard "always aim for the highest" and I found it the best piece of advice later. If I had only wished to be what I became, I guess I would be even much lower...

by croisillon  ·  link  ·  parent  ·  post: What's the best (and/or most interesting) piece of advice you've ever heard?

I've always loved that one too (and love Tagore overall)!
