yup, a much better design that rests on dry land rather than on the sea bed while not in use; reducing corrosion rates and making maintenance a much cheaper procedure. "Ah, but what about the landscape!" cried the politicos when g

there's nothing "magnetic" in the word "elettromeccanico" which is quite obviously the composition of "elettro" (electro) and "meccanico" (mechanic) :)

I’ll also add the pitiful condition of the judiciary. “Well then, sue me” is as middle-finger as it gets when quarreling with underhanded competitors or non compliant parties. Getting justice - whatever that is, in Italy laws constantly cha

Is that the only fundamental reason for SV? I thought it was an historical process with billions of government subsidies spent in military tech and research that drove the belt. I admit my ignorance about the place so you might have a poin

Can you please stop attacking me. Please. Thankfully we’ll never work together so can we just continue our existences as we did before, blissfully unaware of each other?

I’m getting fed-up with this constant reinvention of the serialization game. Back in the days I used to be skeptical of IT and informatics precisely for this reason: always arguing about slight variations of the same mundanities: XML, XSD,

You should also add that “cazzo” is Italian for “dick” and “alla cazzo di cane” is vulgar for something done in a hurry, bumbling along as you go... (and if you close your eyes for a moment and imagine a dog happily strolling along you ge

That’s just Noise, not communication. Try making a reasoned and articulated argument for something controversial (and in a polarized society like the US one, mostly anything is) and see how long it takes for takedowns and shadowbans to redu

Well, not everywhere in Europe has insanely high taxes and for a fair comparison I’d add what Americans pay in health insurance anyway. As for high growth, Europe doesn’t have the space to engage in pump & dump real estate and the same

Well, doesn’t seem like any additional action has taken place... it’s just an effect of revoking the developer ids used previously. I wonder if they can just distribute the game as an unsigned binary from their website, post the SHA and t

No, I’m just putting your statements into context: a 0. market share product makes for nice Wired covers, but not much more unless you use it as a feasibility study to lobby for governmental regulations. But I’m a bit fatigued by grandiose

Ehm I think the lecturer, by their own account must be a Gen X. As an GenX myself I can confirm this attitude - everything’s wrong, everyone has a price - is typical of our hatch. For some reason, maybe TINA, the social traumas of the ‘80s

Ahm, last time I checked Haskell was alive and well. Nothing killed Haskell because Haskell isn’t dead at all. I guess what commercial-driven people don’t understand is that something isn’t a failure if it simply doesn’t play their “market

That’s a wild wild misrepresentation of the meaning of the word “data” and the purpose of the slogan. This “bend your mind”, “drink your own medicine now” wittiness borrowed by the postmodernist crowd is the essence of current alt-right rh

Well that indeed is a problem. I graduated Engineering from an Italian university and I must say much of my curriculum consisted of mind-bending exercises meant to keep us busy and out of the way. The currency we lacked most was context, in

Indeed, the lack of proper subjunctive forms in combination with subordinate clauses isn’t something you’d expect when claiming to protect proper use of the Italian language
