Profile temporarily semi-private for...reasons. If we interacted in the past, you should have no problem associating an identity. DM if unsure. Hopefully the storm will end soon. Looking for friends, but booze recipes will do just as fine.

Got 24 hours to figure out what to write in the useless "why do you think you are a good candidate" part of a job application.
Not only I've never been good with selling snake oil, but the call doesn't even specify what kind of position I'm applying for.

Still, 5k€/month would be nice.

Truly a metaphor of these dark times.

I actually forgot what A was supposed to be, when I started writing. Now it's either to present one option which will be dismissed as low priority, or to give the illusion of choice (at the cost of 4 follow up emails with coauthors not undetstanding the differences).

I'm getting old. Was about to send an email to coauthors: "We have problem X, reviewers will destroy us. I see two alternatives: option A is to do *something*, option B on the other hand is to do *same thing with different words*. I vote for B, which is better than A".

Tim deserves this much time and effort.

On the other hand, Tom can go and get his Facts from elsewhere.

Corporations interested in your data have pushed a narrative in which you need their service, overinflating the benefits, often decanting non-existing qualities, and pretending negative issues do not exist.
You are not using a service, you are the commodity, or rather the animal farmed for meat. 2/2

VPN's only legitimate use case is to access...private networks virtually. That is bypassing a firewall without weakening security.
Every other use sold is either a scam, or just a glorified proxy.

Why are VPNs so pervasive then? For the same reason of social networks and genAI. 1/2

In tutto questo, andando a rileggere, pare che abbia ragione il revisore piΓΉ cattivo (che non ha capito metΓ  delle cose, ma di quello che ha capito ha criticato cose sensate) e i related works di una rivista prestigiosa non possono essere usati per fare autocitazioni "imposte" dal gruppo di lavoro.

Per non fare la fame l'anno prossimo, mi tocca restare in buoni rapporti con l'universitΓ . Per farlo devo riscrivere, gratis, l'articolo rigettato.

In piΓΉ, per una questione di orgoglio non posso regalare il frutto di due anni di lavoro a chi non ha fatto un cazzo, nΓ© concedere l'eutanasia.

As every sci-fi action movie from the 80s can attest, retinal scanners are easily hackable with a knife and some basic butchering skills.
My favorite locking mechanism is to build a huge booby trapped tomb filled with secret passages and dead ends. But you also need to kill the architects afterwards

E niente, dopo essermi fatto prestare la macchina per andare a controllare, non sono neanche lì.

Ora tocca andare in centro duplicazione chiavi e alla banca a bloccare il token. Ma la perdita piΓΉ grave Γ¨ il portachiavi rovinato ma dal grande valore affettivo.

Succhi di frutta allora! Se posso consigliare, trova quello di guava.

Mi hanno parlato molto bene anche di quello di acagiΓΉ (la parte carnosa degli anacardi), ma pare che non si possa importare perchΓ© marcisce molto velocemente.

I agree with the full thread. There are lines not even greedy bastards should ever cross. If the CEO is not willing to be humane, it's up to the engineers to take matters into their hands.

No worries, there's a learning curve for everything, and midnight is not the right time to start learning.

Good thing is, the project I need to work on is currently an ungodly large sequence of hardcoded global variables and batch-like sequential instructions. No need for fancy tools.

Zed β€” Love your editor again Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.

Has it been 6 months, or more, since @champierth.bsky.social suggested zed.dev?

Finally installed it 5 minutes ago because PyCharm's development over ssh is now limited to the paid version.
Spent the next 4 minutes trying to disable obnoxious automatic features such as reformat on save.
