Guarda, purtroppo non è così secondo me. E ci tengo a dire che reputo Feddit.it un ottimo progetto a cui contribuisco finanziariamente.
Però la comunità sui libri è in massima parte una raccolta di pubblicità sulle nuove uscite (che ci sta, ma da solo non invoglia molto la discussione). Questo non toglie che ci abbia fatto delle discussioni interessanti, sia iniziando delle discussioni, sia rispondendo ad altre già aperte...

If Argentina wins the world cup, the collective groan across the globe will increase the carbon dioxide so much that the planet temperature will go up 1C.

I am increasingly leaning away from calling "AI" generated stuff "slop" towards calling it "corrosion". Because that's what it does. To our information landscape. To the quality of artifacts around us. To our social connections. To our mental health. To our cognitive abilities.

@mellifluousbox There's a very good local ice cream company near me that recently covered an entire wall at their shop with AI slopvertising for a new product range. It put me right off them.

On 10 March 2021, I had only just fallen asleep when my phone started buzzing. Then another notification, and another. In a matter of minutes, 142 of my servers went up in the clouds. And not the cloud-computing kind.

Most of them were physically going up in a column of smoke in Strasbourg.

My wife looked at me and asked if I wanted a coffee. I nodded. It was going to be a very long day.

At EuroBSDCon 2026, I won't be giving a theoretical lecture on high availability. Instead, I’m going to tell the raw story of that night: the emergency recovery, the architectural choices that actually saved us, and the ones that crumbled under pressure (because we rarely talk about what fails).

Most of all, I’ll explain why that night changed my perspective, and why I’ve come to see BSD systems not just as operating systems, but as essential, practical tools for building simpler, more resilient infrastructure.

The official schedule is now live. If you want to hear a real-world post-mortem, join me on Saturday, 12 Sept at 11:15 (Room D.0.02).

See you there! ☕️

Today will be slightly less hot, but a bit more smokey. A heat advisory is in effect for Metro Philadelphia. Isolated severe storms are possible late today from metro Philly south.

@tinker @mahadevank We'll see. When it becomes infeasibly expensive to use LLMs & the AI bubble bursts there will be some thinkimh again. Not much help to those of us who have lost our jobs through "AI" fomo but hope for the best😉

@gabrielesvelto @flaki
The magic smoke seems to have escaped.

@dansup it's not like iOS development is any less of a mess

if python is so good how come there's no borland turbo python

@EUCommission We have a big project going on here, renaturating the local rivers and lakes along Aller, Ohre and Ise, which is at least co-financed by the EU, but also the state of lower saxony, smaller actors in the KLARA alliance and Volkswagen AG.

It also has the side effect of my parents now watching beavers build their projects in the river next to their garden.
