La discrète et coûteuse quasi-nationalisation d’Orpea
La nouvelle ne surprendra que les plus naïfs : la Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations va devenir l’actionnaire majoritaire du groupe Orpea, qui s’occupe de maisons de retraite et connaît d’importantes difficultés financières depuis plus d’un an. Sapristi ! Une quasi-nationalisation discrète, et personne ne semble ni s’en émouvoir, ni s’en féliciter… Pourtant, les montants qu’on évoque […] ⌘ Read more

Time Domain Audio Compression at 3.2 bits per Sample
Audio formats typically fall into one of three categories: “lossless”,
“complicated” or “bad”. After developing a
simple image format
last year, I tried to come up with an audio format that fits neither of these
categories.
In other words: a format that is lossy, simple and quite ok.
Naturally, it’s called QOA — the Quite OK Audio Format.
