Juan has spent 10 years harvesting sweet potato in CA. While the machine picks up most of the vegetables he often has to get on his knees and dig out the sweet potatoes the machine left behind. He does this up to 10 hours a day 5 days a week. #WeFeedYou
From now on, every time I'll allow myself to be a crybaby about my white collar job or pretty much every other inconvenience in my privileged life, I'll picture in my mind Juan rightfully slapping me in the face and strongly urging me to grow some fucking spine. Thank you for the reminder, Juan.

No better reminder of the myriad invisible yet immensely valuable perks of the EU than being stranded an entire day abroad and discover that you're not entitled to any refund because you're flying with a non-🇪🇺 airline. People who bitch about the European Union are just clueless, or in bad faith.

Molto bello www.wittgenstein.it/2025/11/16/i... @sofri.it e ci sarebbero tantissime cose da dire ma mi concentro sul nome fuorviante "AI". In realtà la soluzione "facile" esiste. Sono modelli. Modelli linguistici, modelli di riconoscimento immagini, ecc. Modelli matematici che descrivono qualcosa.

I've never been a huge fan of Apple, but it's honestly sad to see such a massive Company failing at every attempt to innovate in the last ten years. I wonder what they're doing with all that money.

As a lifelong leftist, I find deeply unsettling that in the last year I found @wsj.com's reporting significantly more level-headed and informative than @nytimes.com's. I'm not saying that I generally agree with WSJ's takes, but the level of self-absorbtion of the NYT has truly gone through the roof

The "best experience" being spending two days trying to understand why the deployment of the official Istio ingress gateway Helm chart was suddenly failing, then downgrading to Helm 3.18 and seeing the deployment go through flawlessly. A truly magnificent experience 💀
