WhatsApp ha fatto un primo passetto per rendere più moderno il suo sistema, che finora sembra una accozzaglia di pacchetti e tecnologie diverse e vagamente interoperabili.
In particolare, adesso gli utenti iOS e Android potranno passare tutta la loro "storia" da una piattaforma all'altra. Sino a questo momento non era possible. Che sia il primo passo per avere whatsapp anche su tablet e altri apparecchi?
Money quote: "The implementation was difficult, according to WhatsApp. As the messages are end-to-end encrypted and stored on-device, migrating them demands "additional work" from WhatsApp, OS developers and phone makers. It took a collaborative effort to enable transfers like these, in other words"

Come scrivere e non scrivere un libro di programmazione

How To Write a Programming Book

I bambini devono poter sbagliare (e fare cose sbagliate, relativamente pericolose etc) altrimenti vengono su male. E il problema diventa di tutti. Per adesso è un problema molto da americani bianchi, ma lo si può vedere anche da noi, se avete figli piccoli
Money quote: "A dynamic society requires citizens who appreciate that difficulties and failures are a part of life and that’s OK. Just as kids recover from a bike crash or playground fight, they can bounce back from failure and frustration in their adult lives, too. This is possible only if children grow up with some independence so that they arrive at adulthood with the resilience to handle life on their own."

At long last, states and parents are coming to the same conclusion: It is harmful to punish parents for letting their children take some risks.
Ci sono quelli che hanno progressivamente e programmaticamente escluso dalla loro dieta mediale le informazioni giornalistiche. Lo fanno coscientemente con l'obiettivo di riuscire a funzionare meglio senza le distorsioni introdotte dal meccanismo delle narrazioni dominanti. Poi è arrivata la pandemia e hanno dovuto aggiustare il tiro. Ma a quanto pare lo stanno facendo da tempo.
Money quote: "It’s been a decade since I blogged about the benefits of avoiding news.
In that time I mostly followed the advice I gave. I kicked my addiction to The Daily Show in late 2016 after it switched from ridiculing Trump to portraying him as scary (probably part of a general trend for the show to be less funny). I got more free time, and only missed the news a little bit.
Then the pandemic hit."

Gli innovatori sono dei ribelli, non dei conformisti che vogliono ottimizzare il sistema esistente. E l'innovazione avviene attraverso la resistenza, non quando è facilitata. E ci sarebbero moltissime altre cose da dire, ma a me viene in mente solo che essere innovatori ribelli non vuol dire essere degli ignoranti totali che cercano di fare le cose in maniera differente per pigrizia e mancanza di competenze. Ma questo nell'articolo che segue non c'è, il resto sì.
Money quote: "There is psychological evidence that rebelliousness is essential for creativity. Harvard psychiatrist Albert Rothenberg spent more than five decades researching individuals who had made ground-breaking contributions to science, literature and the arts, seeking to understand what drove their creativity. As part of a broader research project that encompassed structured interviews, experimental studies and documentary analysis, Rothenberg interviewed 22 Nobel Laureates. He found that they were strongly emotionally driven by wanting to create something new, rather than extend current perspectives. He found they consciously saw things with a fresh mindset rather than blindly following established wisdom – two qualities that would seem to suggest a rebellious, rather than conformist, personality."

'Positive deviants': Why rebellious workers spark great ideas
Organisations tend to see rebels as troublemakers – but suppressing these individuals and their ideas could backfire.
Quello in cui crediamo, da dove viene, cos'è, cosa dice? Perché in realtà, qualsiasi cosa sia, ci influenza moltissimo: è difficile essere sufficientemente consapevoli di se stessi e del mondo con le sue credenze per formarsi una propria, autonoma visione del mondo o almeno abbracciarne una come atto di reale volontà e non di appartenenza pregressa o come risultato di una più o meno esplicita influenza.
Money quote: "Let’s work with a hypothetical example. Suppose I’m raised among atheists and firmly believe that God doesn’t exist. I realise that, had I grown up in a religious community, I would almost certainly have believed in God. Furthermore, we can imagine that, had I grown up a theist, I would have been exposed to all the considerations that I take to be relevant to the question of whether God exists: I would have learned science and history, I would have heard all the same arguments for and against the existence of God. The difference is that I would interpret this evidence differently. Divergences in belief result from the fact that people weigh the evidence for and against theism in varying ways. It’s not as if pooling resources and having a conversation would result in one side convincing the other – we wouldn’t have had centuries of religious conflict if things were so simple. Rather, each side will insist that the balance of considerations supports its position – and this insistence will be a product of the social environments that people on that side were raised in."

C'è questa specie di male oscuro del nostro tempo digitale, la procrastinazione, che secondo me affonda le sue radici nell'eccesso di connessione e nel produttivismo estremo. Sia quel che sia, viene sempre più spesso messa al centro del dibattito sia nella sua variante positiva (Come si fa a produrre tanto?) che in quella negativa (Come si perde la motivazione?). Dal grande oceano digitale dell'autoaiuto ecco a voi il metodo Fogg (che non è una sigla, ma il nome di un docente di Stanford).
Money quote: "Sometimes we have the ability to do something, and even have a trigger like a time window and a to-do item, but we don't feel motivated.
We stare at a list of tasks, and stare, and stare, and none of them seem particularly exciting.
So we do something else - procrastinate."

Se c'è uno che da solo ha in mano tutto il codice dell'azienda (o quella parte del progetto) non va molto bene. Perché se lo investe un bus oppure lo assume qualcun altro, voi avete un bel problema. Un buon ragionamento.
Money quote: "Thankfully, I have no personal experience with a colleague getting hit by a bus, but I know a few that have been hired by Netflix. Remember to look both ways before crossing a street and never underestimate the amount of money the FAANGs have to poach your talent. It is effortless to lose good talent. When (not if) your developer leaves to make $500k+ a year in the valley, you’ll be in a much better position with a lower bus factor to quickly fill the gap and keep moving forward."

Come fanno i bambini a imparare la loro lingua natale alla velocità della luce e in modo apparentemente indolore? Secondo Noam Chomsky, lo fanno grazie al possesso di una grammatica universale iscritta nel loro Dna. Ahi ahi, bella idea ma a quanto pare non vera (ci abbiamo messo quarant'anni a capirlo, però).
Money quote: "At a stroke, this device removes the pain of learning one’s mother tongue, and explains how a child can pick up a native language in such a short time. It’s brilliant. Chomsky’s idea dominated the science of language for four decades. And yet it turns out to be a myth. A welter of new evidence has emerged over the past few years, demonstrating that Chomsky is plain wrong."

Cos'è la nostalgia? Perché ne soffriamo? È qualcosa di concreto o solo un'etichetta che tiene insieme cose molto diverse? Dalla malattia neurologica a quella psichiatrica sino alle neuroscienze. Ma in mezzo c'è spazio anche per la filosofia. E tutti sono sospesi tra chi si rammarica sia tramontata la propria gioventù e chi invece vorrebbe andare nel paese della Cuccagna che non c'è più.
Money quote: "Coined by the Swiss physician Johannes Hofer in 1688, ‘nostalgia’ referred to a medical condition – homesickness – characterised by an incapacitating longing for one’s motherland. Hofer favoured the term because it combined two essential features of the illness: the desire to return home (nostos) and the pain (algos) of being unable to do so. Nostalgia’s symptomatology was imprecise – it included rumination, melancholia, insomnia, anxiety and lack of appetite – and was thought to affect primarily soldiers and sailors. Physicians also disagreed about its cause. Hofer thought that nostalgia was caused by nerve vibrations where traces of ideas of the motherland ‘still cling’, whereas others, noticing that it was found predominantly among Swiss soldiers fighting at lower altitudes, proposed instead that nostalgia was caused by changes in atmospheric pressure, or eardrum damage from the clanging of Swiss cowbells. Once nostalgia was identified among soldiers from various nationalities, the idea that it was geographically specific was abandoned."
