11 Aug 2010 Undecidabilities
tl;dr: I pretend to create a world to give examples of different meanings behind the word undecidability:
- Undecidability due to measure errors,
- Big errors resulting from small initial measure error,
- Fractal undecidability ;
- Logic Undecidability.
The Undecidabilities
If a demiurge made our world, he certainly had a great sense of humor. After this read, you should be convinced. I’ll pretend to be him. I’ll create a simplified world. A world that obey to simple mathematical rules. And I’ll ...
31 Jul 2010 New style after holidays
Before my holidays many visitors tell me my website was too long to scroll. This is why I completely changed my website design. Now all should scroll smoothly on all platforms. I was inspired by Readability and iBooks© (the iPhone© application).
Tell me what you think of this new design.

- Cappuccino nice in desktop browser but 1.4MB, not compatible with iPhone.
- jQuery not as nice as the Cappuccino version but 106KB. iPhone compatible.
- I’ll give a try to Dashcode 3.
Before start, I must say I know Cappuccino and jQuery are no more comparable than Cocoa and the C++ standard library. One is oriented for user interface while the other is and helper for low level programming. Nonetheless I used these two to make the same web application. This is why I compare the expe...
18 Jun 2010 jQuery popup the easy way
Some source code on this blog can be downloaded.
Most of time, the code is larger than the div bloc.
This is why I use a method to show this code in a large jQuery popup.
You can try clicking the following code ; remark that the content is cutted a bit after z-index:
// --- code popup --- function openPopup() { $(this).clone(false).appendTo(
