Meanwhile in Italy basically nobody (except Sky and Iliad) offers any support for IPv6. TIM had a very poorly functioning technical trial of native IPv6 12 years ago, and while it still exists (and sucks) it only works on ADSL (not VDSL, 20

In C++, I like to return fallible values (std::optional or std::expected from C++23 are good choices), and use exceptions as something in between an error and an assert. I personally find that exceptions are very good to handle rare runtime

AFAIK there are few rare occurrences where MSG can cause reactions akin to an allergy. It's not an allergy per se given that there's no immune reaction involved though. This phenomenon is rare but well documented, albeit not very

MSG naturally occurs in basically everything savory or meaty, so any side effects caused by artificial MSG would probably arise from consumption of natural foodstuffs too. In general we produce lots of glutamate ourselves too (it's one

What saddens me is that this is yet another missed opportunity for fixing the C strings library, which is sadly mostly broken beyond repair or straight unusable on modern systems. Annex K tanking badly was just sad. At least they finally st

If people use intmax_t and then they expect the ABI to stay stable, than they are at fault, not libc, LLVM or GCC for changing it when the actual "max int" changes.

Yeah, that's why I like to use LUKS + ZFS nowadays for cold storage, at least you get a bit of support against bitrot and it's not that unwieldy.

I've been using ZFS native encryption since it was beta (~2017 I think), and it's nothing short of awesome. It's amazingly convenient and easy to use, and it integrates wonderfully with the rest of the filesystem - in compari

That was also the case in very old Linux distros when you logged on X as root. I clearly remember something like Fedora or Mandriva doing exactly that - note that graphically logging in as root on a Unix system is not a great idea though, m

This is indeed hilarious. Even for an Italian ear it kinda sounds like that. I hope that in Spanish or Portuguese it doesn't evoke that kind of feeling too, but I am afraid it probably does. You probably made your product very hilariou

As a European it boggles my mind seeing how trains are basically non-existent in the USA (just look at Houston station), given how dominant the whole "Wild West" railroad rush is in everybody's immagination. Railroads are sup

CDE was overall ok. The real crime was the terrible palettes they used, stuff like violet and blue, pink and green... '90s kitsch at its highest.

I don't know, there's a big difference between Italy and Tokelau. Also you have to be an EU citizen or company in order to register a .it domain, while .tk allowed everyone and their dogs to get one for free for years without havi

Yes, you hid all Italian Google search results - arguably not an ideal solution.

Blanket banning a whole TLD is stupid. One thing is blocking some obscure stuff like ".su", but .it? It's just too big, and arguably unwise if you are in Europe where having to connect to Italian websites or services isn&#x27

C and C++ are infamous for being harder to parse than it's reasonable. C has lots instances of context dependent syntax where code changes meaning depending on what a name is. You can parse Go without a symbol table, but not C, because

There was this Roman poet, Trilussa, which created a good description of why averages are bad, which is known in Italy as "Trilussa's Chicken" Roughly translated, it goes as follows: "Following the current statistics, it

The biggest issue with Zig is that IMHO it isn't "revolutionary" enough. It has been shown time and time again that in order to do the jump from niche to mainstream a language _needs_ to either have a huge corporate backer be
