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.”

Il giorno della giustizia, il giorno dell'infamia: dal 20 gennaio Donald Trump rischia grosso (chissà se i governatori delle regioni italiane e i loro assessori rischiano altrettanto)

Money quote: "While it's possible he could go to jail as a result of some of the investigations of his business affairs, the soon-to-be-former president is more likely to face financial punishment in the form of civil fines, law enforcement observers believe. He may also be embarrassed by financial and other secrets that will be exposed in court. Nearly all his legal troubles are in his hometown, New York, where he once basked in the tabloid limelight as a young mogul and where he rode a golden escalator into an unlikely political career."

Dopo il divorzio, tra gli accordi stipulati tra Emmanuel Carrère ed Hélène Devynck c'è la clausola per cui non è più dato per scontato che lei sia un suo personaggio letterario. Se mai vi capitasse di vedere una foto di Carrère, però, vi potreste chiedere quale donna mai vorrebbe diventare un personaggio dei suoi libri. Sposarlo poi rimaneun mistero.

Money quote: "As part of their divorce, which was finalized in March, Carrère agreed that Devynck’s consent to being used as a character could no longer be presumed. Carrère is required to submit to Devynck any passages in which she appears, before publication, and make any requested cuts. No reason needs to be given."

La dipendenza da zucchero. E soprattutto, cosa succede se uno smette di mangiarlo (spoiler alert: cose brutte all'inizio, ma poi è il paradiso: se riuscite a farne a meno, dopo un mese diventate dei semi-dei)

Money quote: "The days just after you’ve stopped consuming sugar are perhaps the hardest. “You may have withdrawal-like symptoms including headaches and a drop in energy levels,” says Gottfried. You’ll probably have some strong cravings for something sweet, too."

Il mio ricordo del Museo Ghibli a Tokyo è quasi magico, ormai vecchio di dodici o tredici anni. Ma vorrei tornarci e consiglio sempre di prendersi il tempo per vederlo.

Money quote: "One particular delight is the room that showcases different methods of animation, which draws your gaze from the zoetrope near the entrance, on past the moving wooden figures, pausing to see the stop-motion carousel spin up, then stopping dead at the Heath Robinson-like film projector in a glass case to view the “evolution of man” movie at different points in the projector."
