The Emptiness of Matthew Yglesias’s Biggest Idea
“One Billion Americans” is a loosely-informed mishmash of policy, held together by anxieties about American power.
La sera prima che esca il tuo primo podcast cosa fai? La regola di quelli fighi vorrebbe che si faccia finta di niente; zappetti nell'orto, guardi la tv, magari fai un po' di scale sul tuo Bösendorfer a gran coda, come sempre tutte le sere prima di addormentarti. Dicevano di fare così un po' tutti: Seneca, Orazio e anche San Bernardo, tra gli altri. A me invece mi viene l'emozione, bevo una coca zero, leggo la nuova trilogia di Legs Weaver sgranocchiando due Oro Ciok, rispondo a qualche mai a caso e poi mi gingillo pensando: farà schifo, sarà proprio brutto oppure giusto una via di mezzo tra le due cose? Poi sento una voce in testa:

Doveva semplificare le nostre vite, rendere tutti gli apparecchi uguali. Invece la Usb-C è un mezzo disastro. Io ancora ci credo, ma le delusioni sono state tante.
Money quote: "Five years later, USB-C is near-ubiquitous: Almost every modern laptop and smartphone has at least one USB-C port, with the exception of the iPhone, which still uses Apple’s proprietary Lightning port. For all its improvements, USB-C has become a mess of tangled standards — a nightmare for consumers to navigate despite the initial promise of simplicity."

Un esperimento mentale: implementiamo una versione in minore di git usando il python. Perché? La spiegazione è semplice: se si capisce come funziona "dentro" git, si capisce come usarlo per la collaborazione
Money quote: "At first you shouldn't care about Git internals either. You can use Git as a set of CLI commands that track code history. Run git add, git commit and git push all day long and you'll do fine, as long as you're a sole developer who just commits to one branch.
But once you start collaborating with multiple people on multiple branches and things like rebase or force push are getting involved, it's easy to become lost if you don't have a good mental model of Git internals.
From my experience with using Git myself and teaching others, a better way to improve your effectiveness with Git is by understanding how it works behind the scenes and not by learning more "advanced" Git commands. This understanding is what will allow you to solve the kind of problems that multi-user collaborative coding sometimes produce."

I cattivi del Corano: Ifrit
Money quote: “The universe, according to the Quran, is divided into two inseparable worlds: the visible and the unseeable, or Al-Ghaib. The latter encompasses both paradise and hell, populated by angels, ghosts, and supernatural creatures of all sorts called djinn—among them the ifrit. While Allah created the angels to be free of sin, restricted by His commandments, he forged the djinn from fire and gave them free will to act according to their own codes of morality and civility. And according to scripture, the ifrit, more than any other djinn, ran with that freedom into wicked pastures.”
