Simple & free online website to build a map with several numbered & colored markers on points-of-interest (locations), and then print it to PDF or share it with a URL.
I wrote my latest post on fpdf2
almost a year ago.
As we just released a new version, v2.7,
this is the time to mention some recent additions to this library! 😊
This article will present some of the major features introduced between v2.5.3 & v2.7.3 of …
Comme promis il y a deux semaines, voici la traduction du génialissime one-page-dungeon de Michael Prescott :
C'est un condensé de pépites narratives entrelacées et assemblées en une seule page : un labyrinthe à explorer, des énigmes basées sur l'environnement, des rencontres aléatoires, des artefacts pertinents à …

Following last week animated PDF adventure, I have been reading a series of one page dungeons... And yesterday I had the opportunity to play the best one in my opinion: The Sky-Blind Spire by Michael Prescott.
It has everythng I love on one page: a maze to explore, mysteries to …
Last week, while translating John Harper's micro-TTRPG World of Dungeons: Turbo Breakers, I discovered the wonderful world of one page dungeons, starting with Michael Prescott splendid production at trilemma.com and also the yearly One Page Dungeon Context.
While crawling through the OPDC 2021 entries, I discovered a great map …
« Le Frido » contient des mathématiques du niveau de l'agrégation. Il couvre (à peu près) tout le programme.
« Giulietta » contains more or less everything I know in mathematics.
This document is a compilation of many stuff I wrote during my mathematical live. There are mainly three parts :
— Exercises for undergrad (in French).
— Theory for undergrad (in French, mainly devoted to l’agrégation)
— Theory I studied during my thesis (in English)
— Some research material (the BTZ part, in English)Il existe de nombreux logiciels de mathématique. Notre préféré est Sage pour une raison très précise : Sage est (en simplifiant) un module pour python. Donc quand on travaille en Sage, on dispose de tout Python.
fpdf2
is a simple & fast PDF creation library for Python that I have been maintaining since mid-2020.
In this article, I'm going to present some of the new features that landed since my last post on the subject. Hence, this will cover versions 2.5.0, 2.5.1 & 2 …
new_x
and new_y
for cell()
and multi_cell()
, replacing ln=0
, thanks to @gmischleradd_highlight()
method to insert highlight annotations: documentationoffset_rendering()
method: documentation.text_mode
property: documentationunbreakable()
section, which is not supportedlocal_context()
can now "scope" even more properties, like blend_mode
: documentationmulti_cell(align="J")
is given text with multiple paragraphs (text followed by an empty line) at once, it now renders the last line of each paragraph left-aligned,multi_cell()
always renders a cell, even if txt
is an empty string - cf. #349multi_cell(..., split_only=True)
inside an unbreakable
section - cf. #359ln
to cell()
and multi_cell()
is now deprecated, use new_x
and new_y
instead.center
to cell()
is now deprecated, use align="C"
instead.DeprecationWarning
s are not displayed by Python by default.
Hence, every time you use a newer version of fpdf2
, we strongly encourage you to execute your scripts
with the -Wd
option (cf. documentation)
in order to get warned about deprecated features used in your code.
This can also be enabled programmatically with warnings.simplefilter('default', DeprecationWarning)
.
Cette année j'ai participé pour la première fois au défi trois fois forgé organisé par le site PtgPtb.fr.
Le principe ? Un défi d'écriture où chaque auteur participe successivement à la création de trois jeux de rôle (JdR).
Nous avons débuté en octobre : chaque participant a soumis une première forge …
Last month, I realized late that October was hacktoberfest month!
This online event is a month-long celebration (October 1-31) of open source software run in partnership with different software companies, with a focus on encouraging contributions to open source projects.
While I participated in the 2019 edition as a contributor …

Undying Dusk is a video game in a PDF format, with a gameplay based on exploration and logic puzzles, in the tradition of dungeon crawlers.
A curse set by the Empress keeps the world in an eternal dusk. You are have recently found shelter in an eerie monastery.
Featuring:
Today, I am happy to announce version 2.3.0 of fpdf2, code name: Unbreakable!
https://github.com/pyfpdf/fpdf2/ Doc: https://pyfpdf.github.io/fpdf2/
Why Unbreakable?
fpdf2
, your Python code can never break!
fpdf2
, the library I mentioned in my previous post, cannot parse existing PDF files.
However, other Python libraries can be combined with fpdf2
in order to add new content to existing PDF files.
This page provides several examples of doing so using pdfrw
,
a great zero-dependency pure Python library dedicated …

The scenario introduces a new Action - Social Distancing - which allows players to explore the costs and benefits of this activity in a cooperative game environment, perhaps giving additional reason to what we are doing in society during the coronavirus pandemic of 2020
Interesting overview of French policy, initiatives & organizations fostering the usage of free/libre/open-source software :
Adullact, CNLL, Etalab, Mutualisation Interministérielle, Direction Interministérielle de la Transformation Publique, Socle Interministériel de Logiciels Libres...
The CNIL seems to be missing in this landscape though.

La montée d’un management à distance creuse le hiatus entre le langage des prescripteurs,
qui est visible dans les dispositifs, d’une part, et celui des autres travailleurs, forgé progressivement
dans l’expérience de l’activité elle-même, d’autre part.
Or les dispositifs, pour être des produits sur le marché du management, sont renouve-lés au rythme de sa logique
commerciale. Nous assistons alors à sa sophistication et à son renouvellement effréné, dans une circulation rapide
entre les offreurs de «solutions» managériales, leurs clients, les revues spécialisées et les écoles.
Anglicismes («balanced scorecards», «reporting», «wording»), néologismes («employabilité», «leader naturel»,
«coachabilité»), acronymes («ERP», «CODIR»...) et mots politiques sortis de leur contexte («responsabilité»,
«diversité», «liberté»), laissent régulièrement les travailleurs perplexes dans la mesure où
ces termes ne permettent pas toujours de décrire, de coordonner et de penser leur propre travail.
La dérive des continents langagière est ainsi très fréquente dans les grandes organisations.Nous assistons également à la multiplication de termes visant à euphémiser ou contourner les choses qu’ils désignent,
comme dire «plan social» pour désigner un «licenciement massif», ou «faible diversité» au lieu de «racisme».
La grandiloquence tutoie régulièrement le discours de l’absolu («zéro défaut», «satisfaction totale», «excellence»).
Parfois, les mots disent l’inverse de ce que l’on fait (lorsque cette action est moralement douteuse),
ou bien sont exhibés pour cacher l’absence de la chose désirée.
Sometimes, it's useful to print some source code on paper. And PDF is a very common file format, that you can be sure your printer will accept, and that will let you preview the final page layout. But how to quickly perform syntax-coloring and export to PDF ?
I've been experimenting …
