Unpopular opinion: here's how to fix the modern world.
1)Find the closest living relative of the Hohenstaufen dynasty
2)make them Emperor
3)Surrender half the nuclear arsenal to them and the other half to Pope Leo
4)Choose whether you want to be a Guelph or a Ghibelline and be loyal to your faction.

Ho un rapporto di amore-odio con i legumi secchi.
Senza ammollo? Crudi.
Con ammollo? Crudi ed esplosi.
Senza ammollo e senza sale? Crudi.
Con ammollo e senza sale? Crema.
Pentola a pressione? Tra carbonizzato e crema, dipendentemente dall'acqua.
In scatola? Non ho la residenza e quindi la pattumiera

Took the DASS test. Got 99/126.
Pretty average for PhD candidates awaiting defense, unemployed and burned out.

Dopo due giorni a scolare/fermentare, sono usciti 300g di una specie di Philadelphia pannosa, che è stato d'uopo usare per una cheesecake mezza improvvisata.

BUONGIORNISSIMO!!!1!!1!!1!

Dopo circa un anno di prove con miscele e procedimenti diversi, ho finalmente calibrato quasi tutte le variabili (manca la quantità di acqua, che sputtanerà tutto il resto) per un espresso decente.

After the end of the forceful trial of PyCharm Professional, it suddenly freezes every 100 lines of code or so.

Pride suggests to get back to Emacs, laziness to Visual Studio Code. The voices in my head and the writings in blood on the walls say: "VI VI VI VI VI VI VI VI VI VI VI VI VI VI VI VI VI"

Kitchen sink classes should be illegal in general.
But they become especially problematic to clean up when they've been on a stale branch which diverged from main 9 months ago, and you can't even test them for intended behavior.

Ceci n'est pas un fromage 😑

Avrò buttato 5 litri di latte in varie prove, cambiato la temperatura, l'acidità, la quantità di caglio (vegetale preso su Amazon, probabilmente la colpa è sua), aggiunto calcio, invocato Mefisto in un crocevia in una notte di luna piena. Niente.

While it is true that the Bluetooth symbol comes from Norse runes, its true meaning is actually related to the kind of curse haunting every pair of earphones. Fixing volume issues, even in 2025, requires a blood sacrifice and other obscure rituals.

Last week I replaced a dumb busy spin implementation with an elegant producer-consumer approach, to fix a long standing issue.
After three days of debugging a strange deadlock involving library code I cannot touch, it became clear that the old implementation had a reason to be written the way it was

C'è qualche entomologo in grado di aiutarmi a identificare questo scorpione?
L'area geografica è Sicilia nord occidentale, 700m slm, zona boschiva.
È il terzo che incontro in una ventina di anni e la casa è stata completamente ristrutturata, quindi erano esemplari diversi di una specie endemica.
