Miscellaneous

Links to websites that I like, utilities that I use, and things that have no place elsewhere on the site. Some of these websites are in French.

Utilities & guides

Typography

A few typeface databases:

Other

A few other utilities:

  • Tournesol: a collaborative video recommendation platform. I strongly recommend using it, and especially contributing to it: it is a very important collective effort against the toxic recommendation algorithms of online video platforms.
  • Typst: a modern alternative to LaTeX, of which I am a big fan.
  • Knuth Mathematical Writing: a guide to mathematical writing by Donald Knuth.

Data science

Utilities

Libraries

  • Clustering Benchmark: a tool to compare clustering algorithms
  • GOB: a library to compare global optimization algorithms

Fun websites

  • Mathcurve: a remarkable encyclopedia of mathematical shapes
  • The-diagram: a website of diagrams
  • Mathgen: a generator of mathematical papers that make no sense

Art

Section inspired by the one of Gaspard Abel.

Music

Music is my main passion outside of science: I have had the chance to play in several bands, mostly rock and the like. Here are a few websites and radios that I like.

  • FIP: an eclectic radio, without ads
  • Musique Approximative: a directory of music, often experimental
  • Pardon my French: a directory of covers of popular songs, with their lyrics translated literally
  • Radio Balise: not only music, but also very interesting shows

Also, for those interested: a list of artists and albums I love

Fanzines & comics

A few independent creators I like:

Everything else

Websites that I could not file anywhere else.

  • Roons: a marble-powered computer, for fans of mechanical computing
  • Bloque la pub: about advertising on the internet
  • Visual Rambling: a lovely website to learn things!
