A small corner café sits quietly under the night sky, its rounded facade bathed in a warm honey glow that spills onto the sidewalk. A striped fabric awning wraps the building, and a row of pendant lights and soft interior lamps give the windows a welcoming, intimate light. Rows of metal bistro tables and chairs fill the tiled patio — neat, empty, and arranged as if waiting for the next wave of customers — while low bollards and a zebra crossing in the foreground anchor the scene to the street. Above the entrance a neon sign throws a rose-pink halo into the leaves of nearby trees, adding a splash of color against the deeper blues and blacks of the night. Trees and hanging branches frame the café, their shadows and dappled light softening the hard geometry of the building and pavement. The checkerboard floor pattern under the tables gives the space a retro, timeless feel, and small details like the menu board near the door and a curtained window hint at the personality of the place. Overall the image feels quiet and slightly cinematic — a calm, inviting pocket of light and warmth in an otherwise dark city night.

The image depicts an older Pakeha man with his hands raised and mouth open as if he is enthusiastically talking or singing, while sitting next to a Maori woman who appears relaxed. She has her eyes closed and seems to be enjoying herself, possibly dancing lightly on the sofa they are seated on.

They appear in front of a simple room setting decorated modestly with items like curtains, flowers above the window, and a telephone visible against the wall. There's another person partially seen at their right side who is not part of this interaction but seems to be sitting across from them possibly engaged in conversation or listening intently.

The environment suggests an informal gathering within a home setting during mid-20th-century times based on attire styles, furniture design, and black-and-white photography which was common for that era.

A small corner brasserie glows like an ember against the night. The curved façade of the building is wrapped in clear plastic curtains that enclose a heated terrace; inside a warm, honey-colored light spills out onto the cobbles, softening the cool blue of the street lamps. Above the entrance a red neon sign reads “Le Phénix” in friendly, rounded letters; smaller lettering underneath names it as a bar, pub and brasserie.
Through the fogged plastic and window reflections you can make out potted plants and the muted shapes of people and furniture, their outlines mellowed by the glass and the warm interior light. A few empty café tables and metal chairs sit on the sidewalk, waiting for patrons, while the pavement’s textured pattern catches and scatters the glow from the windows.
The scene feels intimate and urban — a quiet moment in a lively neighborhood. Holiday- or decorative lights stretch along the street in the distance, adding a ribbon of cool light above the vanishing line of storefronts. Overall the image conveys the welcoming hush of a late evening haunt where warmth and conversation are sheltered from the night outside.

A small, warmly lit brasserie at night fills the frame, its striped red-and-white awning announcing a familiar, old-world charm. Above the awning a neon cursive sign glows pink, throwing a soft halo over the façade. The word “BRASSERIE” and “RESTAURANT” are stenciled across the front, and a freestanding menu board sits beside the glass door like an invitation.
Through the large windows you can see the golden interior light spilling onto the sidewalk, silhouettes of diners and waitstaff moving in the cozy space. Round bistro tables with woven chairs and red-checked tablecloths are arranged on the narrow pavement, small enough to suggest intimate conversations over wine. Reflections and warm highlights dance on the glass, while posters and small notices are taped to the door, lending the place a lived-in, neighborhood feel.
The scene breathes a quiet, late-evening atmosphere — the kind of place that promises comfort and familiarity: clinking cutlery, low conversation, the smell of frying onions and roasted garlic just out of sight. It feels like a small refuge from the street, a pocket of soft light and humanity against the night.

What are your favorite programs that specialize in working with tables? My use case: building human-readable matrices for documentation and reference. Not a database.

I don't want a typical Office program (Not Excel or Word or the FOSS equivalent.)

For example, OmniOutliner or Logseq are much better for outlining than Word etc. No, I'm not going to learn Emacs Org Mode.

Markdown tables are simple but clumsy.

I've used SQLite Browser to great effect for data., but not the right tool here.

What's actually good?

A candid, high-contrast black-and-white photograph of an outdoor café scene. The picture is full of little human vignettes arranged across a shallow plane of tables and woven chairs: people hunched over cups, a pair in mid-conversation, another person looking at their phone, a few faces turned toward the sun. The composition collects everyday gestures — hands lifting mugs, elbows on tabletops, a foot tucked under a chair — and makes them feel like moments in a quiet choreography.
Lighting is a defining element: sharp, directional sunlight cuts across the scene, carving bright patches on tabletops and the textured paving underfoot, while leaving other faces and corners in soft shadow. That interplay of light and dark gives the image a rhythm — highlights on white sneakers and ceramic cups, deep blacks in coats and sunglasses — and emphasizes surfaces and forms over color. Depth of field is modest; the nearest figures are crisply detailed while the background softens into suggestive shapes, making the mid-ground patrons the visual focus.
Small details lend the scene personality: a potted plant between tables, the woven pattern of café chairs, a scattering of newspapers and saucers, and the casual, layered clothing that signals cool weather. One central figure — wearing a dark coat and sunglasses and holding a cup — becomes an anchor for the eye; other guests orbit around that focal point, each absorbed in their own micro-narrative.

#jlbouzou

This black and white photograph beautifully captures a quiet, sunlit urban square framed by tall, classic European-style buildings. The architecture is characterized by simple, rectangular windows and gently sloping rooftops with chimneys, suggesting a historical or old-town ambiance. The shadows cast by the buildings and the uneven light filtering into the plaza evoke a serene, almost timeless atmosphere.
A striking visual detail is the array of thin, dark lines stretching diagonally across the image from building to building. These wires create a subtle grid or web above the plaza, adding a geometric rhythm and depth to the scene. This linear pattern juxtaposes the organic scattering of tables and chairs below, orderly but inviting, hinting at a community space—perhaps an outdoor café or market area.
The empty chairs and tables, all facing different directions, invite the viewer to imagine the lively conversations or quiet moments of solitude that might unfold here. Umbrellas stand folded and still, reinforcing the calm before the bustle of the day. A few parked cars nestle into the corners, emphasizing the blend of daily life and leisure.
Artistically, the monochrome treatment strips away distraction, focusing attention on shapes, contrast, and light play, while also invoking nostalgia or introspection. The signature “Jean-Louis Beque” at the bottom corners the image as a thoughtful artistic statement.

Abandonware of the web: do you know that there is an HTML tables API? | Christian Heilmann

"When people turn data into HTML tables using JavaScript, they either use the DOM methods (createElement() and the likes), but most of the time just append a huge string and use innerHTML, which always is a security concern. However, did you know that HTML tables also have an old, forgotten API ? Using this one, you can loop over tables, create bodies, rows, cells, heads, footers, captions an summaries (yes, HTML tables have all of those) and access the table cells. Without having to re-render..."

The image captures a narrow, cobblestone street bathed in soft, natural light filtering through the overhead canopy of a quaint European alley. The street is lined with mustard-yellow buildings that evoke a warm, welcoming atmosphere, their walls gently textured and showing signs of age, adding character to the scene. The pathway glistens as if it has recently rained, with reflections softly shimmering on the stones.
On the left, a small group of people are engaged in quiet conversation, their casual attire suggesting a relaxed, perhaps tourist-friendly setting. The figure in the center stands out in a blue T-shirt and black shorts with a bright orange backpack, adding a pop of color that contrasts with the earth tones around him.
To the right, a small café setup is visible—tables covered with red cloths, a single plant adding a touch of greenery, and folding chairs arranged for patrons. The café's inviting but understated appearance blends perfectly with the street's intimate vibe. Above, signs in French hint at the cultural setting, suggesting this could be a charming street in a French city or town.
The overall atmosphere is one of quiet sociability and timeless charm, inviting a slow, mindful exploration. The interplay of light, texture, and human presence evokes a sense of everyday life steeped in history and culture—typical of many European old towns where modern life and heritage coexist seamlessly.

The image captures a serene outdoor café scene bathed in sunlight, creating long, intricate shadows on the cobblestone pavement. Two individuals sit opposite each other at one of the round metal tables, deeply engaged in conversation. The older person on the left, with white hair, reclines comfortably in their chair, batting sunlight off their face, which contrasts strikingly with the darker shadowy tones around them. Opposite, the other person, dressed casually with a hat, leans slightly forward, perhaps listening intently or sharing a story, adding a sense of intimacy to the moment.
The surrounding tables, mostly empty, hint at a quiet moment in what might usually be bustling with patrons. The wrought-iron chairs and tables evoke a classic European café vibe, enhancing the timeless quality of the scene. In the background, blurred storefronts and passersby suggest an urban setting, adding life and context without distracting from the central pair.
The image's black-and-white palette not only heightens the play of light and shadow but also imbues the scene with a nostalgic, almost poetic ambiance. This monochromatic choice invites viewers to focus on the textures—the cobbles, the metal furniture, the flowing hair—and the contrast between stillness and the subtle buzz of city life.

This black-and-white photograph captures a serene nighttime street scene, marked by a quiet, almost timeless atmosphere. The street gently slopes upward, its surface composed of tightly fitting cobblestones or bricks that shimmer faintly under the soft glow of streetlights further down the road. The light source, likely from shop windows and street lamps, casts subtle highlights and shadows, enhancing the depths and textures of the architectural elements.
On the left side of the image, a storefront with open doors invites quiet curiosity. Chairs and tables sit outside, empty, evoking a sense of pause or waiting—a café or small eatery resting between bustling hours. The absence of people and the empty seats create a contemplative mood, suggesting solitude or the calm after the day's activity.
The tall buildings line the street closely, their façades featuring a mix of smooth and rough textures. The visible architectural details, such as shutters, doors, and window frames, hint at a European setting, possibly an old town or historical district, given the traditional street paving and narrow alley-like layout.
Artistically, the monochrome treatment strips away the distraction of color, focusing attention on light, shadow, and form. This choice often evokes nostalgia or memory. The gentle gradient of light along the receding street directs the viewer’s eye inward, almost inviting an exploration of what lies beyond the frame.

This black and white photograph captures a charming outdoor café scene bathed in dappled sunlight. The café exudes a classic, Parisian ambiance with its small round tables and chairs arranged neatly across the sidewalk. Awnings extend over the seating area, providing shade and a sense of shelter, while the facade of the building behind is adorned with a mix of textures and patterns. The play of light and shadow highlights the café's inviting atmosphere, with sunlight filtering through trees or other urban elements casting intricate shadows on the ground and tables.
The image evokes a sense of quiet, early morning or late afternoon calmness, typical of European street scenes where local patrons or passersby might pause for a coffee or a casual chat. The absence of people adds a poetic stillness, making the viewer imagine the lively conversations and sensory experiences that usually fill such spaces.
In terms of cultural context, cafés like this are often seen as vital social hubs in European cities, symbolizing leisurely life, community, and the enjoyment of simple pleasures. The black and white treatment enhances the timeless quality of the scene, suggesting nostalgia and a connection to photographic traditions of capturing everyday moments with elegance.
