For the impatients :
1. "about:config"
2. find "extensions.pocket.enabled"
3. turn it to "False"

Striving for a minimal number of duplicated lines in a board can cause these consequences:

- Over-generalization
- Over-anticipated abstractions
- Early decisions about common parts
- Coupling
- Levels of indirection, adding difficulty to understand the source code


==> When you find two apparently similar pieces of source code, question whether you find a reason to have to change them at the same time

Remember Names

In the psychology world, there’s a strange example of how these tricks work, called the “Baker/baker paradox.” After showing subjects the same photograph of a man’s face, the researchers tell half the participants his surname, Baker, and the other half his occupation, a baker. Days later, the subjects were more likely to remember the man’s occupation than his name. This plays to the sensory nature of memory. Upon hearing the man was a baker, the brain immediately springs into action, creating or recalling vast neural networks of what we’ve associated with the title: fresh bread, a white hat and apron, or perhaps someone standing in front of a patisserie, greeting children with delicious sweets.

Remember Numbers
3419108550 is more manageable when written, or recited, as 341-910-8550. Credit card numbers are also chunked, as is your Social Security number.
Mr. Foer detailed an acquaintance that had never formally been taught to chunk information, but used the technique to remember numbers by associating them with his hobby, running. “For example, 3,492 was turned into ‘3 minutes and 49 point 2 seconds, [a] near world-record mile time.’” For most of us, this is probably no easier than remembering the number itself. But for a runner, it’s a different story.

There’s nothing, physiologically speaking, separating memory athletes from people who forget where their keys are or can’t remember what they had for breakfast this morning. The difference is in the training methods, and the time spent in mastering them.

Details about coal fires : the coal fire in Centralia, Pennsylvania. This fire broke out in a mine in the Northeast United States and has proven impossible to put out. How impossible you ask? It’s been burning since May 27, 1962.

Historique, et quelques anecdotes amusantes sur les personnages Nintendo

"L’Union européenne devrait se demander si la voie de développement des énergies renouvelables choisie ou plutôt enforcée, conduit véritablement à la protection du climat, c’est-à-dire à la réduction des émissions de CO2, ou s’il s’agit d’une démarche à but lucratif. Je pense que la seconde réponse est la bonne. Il se peut que, au début, le développement de l’énergie éolienne, par exemple, ait été motivé par des considérations écologiques, mais d’énormes subventions ont rendu ce mode de production de l’énergie un exercice fort profitable."
(...)
"Dès lors, il est légitime se demander qui tire le plus grand profit du développement des énergies renouvelables. Car il est évident pour moi que ce n’est pas le climat."
