Just installed @arcinternet. Let's try it out. "Meet the new Internet". Exciting! "Please create an account". Just uninstalled @arcinternet.
Cheers to @howtojohnwilson's series finale, ending with the most f-cked up interview of the show, which is saying something. Definitely one of the deepest, weirdest, most amazing TV series in years (even among @nathanfielder's other gems). slate.com/culture/2023/09/ho…
Goodbye blue check! If you can just pay to be verified it becomes meaningless. Not that it meant a lot before anyway…
We just launched the first open source project of the @Contentsquare Foundation! Glad to be able to work on this :)
@sylvinus FYI, you've been added as a maker of Readapt on @ProductHunt producthunt.com/posts/readap… h/t @alexd 🙌

The pace at which @BeReal_App is spreading around me is absolutely insane. Reminds me of my middle school days when everybody was creating a FB account.
This is one of the most impactful projects I'm working on at @Contentsquare, please consider giving us a hand! #dyslexia
Contentsquare's foundation is building Readapt, a non-profit platform to enable people struggling with dyslexia to better read digital text. We’re looking for 10-15 English-speaking people with dyslexia willing to beta test. Help? forms.gle/qqgPJgA2Foc924MeA #Dyslexia #betatest
Fun fact: years before investing in @Sketchfab (acquired by @EpicGames!!), I briefly considered launching a similar startup. But this is in the past now, so I just decided to sell a few domain names I considered back then... First one: Sculptr :-) flippa.com/11048106-sculptr-…
Comment en 2021 le @GroupeLaPoste peut-il avoir une politique anti-phishing aussi ridicule ? C'est pratiquement de l'incitation à enregistrer de faux domaines *-laposte.info ... Il devrait y avoir 1 ou 2 domaines officiels et c'est tout ! aide.laposte.fr/contenu/comm…
I am thrilled to welcome @pixelastic in my team at @Contentsquare, as our first developer advocate ever! Expect to hear more from us soon :)
Latest weekend hack: flashing #tasmota on smart plugs via serial connection! Why would you do this? As I wrote, "The last thing I want is having my plugs call home to whomever their former master was..." :-) sylvainzimmer.com/blog/2021/…

What should you do when your storage is partitioned by date but you have to do a global lookup? Our very own Joël Trigalo searched for the optimal way to split queries over multiple date ranges, leading to huge performance improvements! Read about it here: engineering.contentsquare.co…
Welcome to @Contentsquare! I feel very lucky to have been involved in this deal and I’m pretty excited to start working with such talented new colleagues :-)
When two industry leaders work together, amazing things happen. And that’s exactly why we’re joining forces with @Contentsquare. With our combined tech, vision, and teams, we can make a real difference to the web. hotjar.com/blog/hotjar-and-c…

Clap de fin pour la première saison de Hacker News Café, on vous souhaite à tous un beau mois d'Août et on vous donne rendez-vous début septembre pour notre Saison 2, avec plein de surprises :) Merci encore à tous ceux qui ont participé !!
Huge congrats to @albn, @trigrou, @pierreant_p and all the @Sketchfab team for their acquisition by @EpicGames! What a ride. Along the way, it was a real privilege to be your friend, investor, office neighbour... and occasional hacker :-) A look back: sylvainzimmer.com/blog/2021/…
