How to embed vomit in your own code, by JetBrains

You can now embed prompts in your Kotlin code. It's worse than generating code and checking it beforehand since it will now be done at runtime. Expect a lot of new applications that will put one prompt in the main function like:

fun main() { chatgpt("open a window with a button, and make no mistakes") }

"Free Time" -- 🇨🇵 fast food (1982)

I saw a Burger King ad on this community, and, patriotism being involved on this glorious 14th of July, I had to reply with a relatively unknown French fast-food chain of our own! I could not find any interesting pictures, but there are 2 ads about it:

In a Free Time restaurant, there are chairs for the butts, and plants for the eyes

Free Time (French only, sorry) was a fast-food chain created in 1982 as an alternative to McDonald's in France which was created in 1972.

The Free Time burgers were supposedly special and cleaner because they were wrapped by a cardboard / hard paper thing around the burger. I do remember that the recipes themselves were very disappointing, if not disgusting. Fond memories, but I would not try that ever again.

It disappeared in the early 90s due to being bought by "Quick," another French fast-food chain that was more like our good old McDonald's. RIP Free Time and their awful burgers.

[Achievement] Réparation de tuyau d'arrosage

Ma vie mon oeuvre, rien d'intéressant mais on ne sait jamais, ça peut intéresser les débutants.

Je voulais acheter un nouveau tuyau d'arrosage car le précédent se fait très vieux et a des trous et des craquelures. Il en existe de plusieurs diamètres : 15 mm ou 19 mm. Et surtout le prix, entre 30 et 60 euros, bref, pas envie de sortir ça pour un bout de plastique mou.

Je découvre donc qu'il existe des "réparateurs" de tuyau d'arrosage. On coupe la zone pourrie (trouée ou coudée...) et on joint les deux bouts avec le fameux réparateur qui ne coûte que 3 ou 4 euros. Une grosse économie donc, 6 euros au lieu de 50 dans mon cas, ce n'est pas rien.

Je suis tout fier et je voulais partager ça. C'est tout pour aujourd'hui.

[Solved] The Android "app store" that handles installs from GitHub (it was Obtainium)

I already know about the Aurora store or F-Droid to install applications for an Android phone, but there was that "repository manager" that could install and update APK files from GitHub, and... I forgot the name and I can't find it on the Google.

It could be https://github-store.org/ but I'm not sure about the name and there could be a more famous alternative.

If anyone knows, I would send you a million Schrute bucks.

New productivity method for 2026?

Hi, some time ago I decided to include a new productivity method every year or every time I switched to a new job. I already tried the following methods (more or less successfully):

  • vertical mouse and mechanical keyboard
  • GTD and Pomodoro
  • leather notebook for every thing
  • knowledge base and bullet journal

What do you have in mind that I could try for a whole year and see if it sticks? I'm thinking of reading a lot of books, get some training to eventually get another kind of job, etc.
