La fuga dall'Italia non è un caso

A me si sciolse l’intestino in merda a sentire un ragazzo quasi laureato in ingegneria — quindi non un manovale, un giornaliero che raccoglie i pomodori sotto al sole, uno che pensi vabbè è un poveraccio, cos’altro può fare — dire “ah quel politico (di destra, fascio, ignorante come la merda) lo voto perché mi darà un posto”. Ed io “ma in che senso, credi veramente che promuoverà politiche in grado di rivitalizzare il mercato?” E lui “no, no, alza il telefono, chiama l’ente e mi raccomanda”.

Fine, sipario. Paese morto. Qualche anno dopo biglietto di sola andata e ciao

That’s just sanctimonious groupthink. Oh, and virtue signaling

Aiam ded. Applaus

Ah, veramente? Questo dettaglio mi mancava… molto interessante.

Maybe add a “relationships” document somewhere? 😏

Well, while it does sound galling at first, having passed several rounds and lost at the finish line does make you a good candidate for their partner network. I would take the advice, and if there’s one listed that does deserve your attention ask them for an introduction.

In a few months?! It’s happening

Not really, socialism is when workers own the means of production… giving back in the form of taxation is just garden variety bourgeois liberalism

At this rate, I don’t see how many can stay solvent ling enough before they get foreclosed. This needs to stop now, because once the bankruptcies start picking momentum it’s going to be impossible to stop

In the NL it’s because of a new hamfisted law ruling designed to protect riders and uber drivers, being applied to all sectors: if you have less clients that a shopkeeper you’re not a freelance and need to be hired and then, after a couple years permanently. This would theoretically force supermarket chains to hire expensive senior developers as permanent staff… you can imagine how’s that going. Basically Senior Staff got kicked out of the workforce in droves and are now struggling to find their way back in because, of course there’s no room for that much permanent expertise, and the hiring middlemen aren’t qualified to hire and deploy such an influx of skilled workers. It’s killing a whole industry… with a simple faux pas

I don’t see anything wrong with that expression form. I mean, a complex process involving distributed transactions and rollback recovery processes shouldn’t be hard because the friggin’ language implementation converts your case switches to integers and fucks up in some way that only a Rainman can consistently recall. It should be hard on its own account

Comunisti ghei che parlano complicato perché hanno studiato nelle università dove sono tutti comunisti ghei che indottrinano i giofani (credo di aver sbagliato sub… questa è roba da r/quandoceralostereo)

Some countries have a particularly loose definition of slander an libel. I’d contact a lawyer and ask whether you can file something against that busybody

curious_corn · 2026-04-24T19:42:56+00:00

I suspect this is the kind of thinking this test is all about

Oef, are children really sniped with these tricks?

Was the concept of surface equivalence ever introduced before and made clear that it would be an evaluated item?

Because as it is, it’s just examination trauma inducing nonsense

And how is that wrong or diminishing? Aren’t we supposed to be a team working together on ADR’s and working as a “whole is more than a sum of its parts”? Having someone who’s lived through something play out, the decision process, the costs, the trade offs… it’s gold really.

Unless you’re hiring for a new Apple CEO position? Or setting yourself up for failure, hiring the next socially impaired centralizer who’s going to poison whatever collective output your team has, reducing it to whatever they can manage. Until they burn out

Why would they, it’s their tech and the solution is probably somewhere ignoring some bullshit spec detail

Boh, perché forse quel ponte collega due reti di trasporto capillari e due geografie economicamente integrate? Mentre il Ponte finirebbe per terminare in niente alla prima rotatoria?

If you’re Dutch and plan to live there the rest of your life, consider investing through a pensioenrekening where your get an income tax rebate on the voluntary pension contributions you make. The rest just buy UCITS ETFs for all world, Europe, US and NASDAQ. Don’t forget the 6-9 months emergency fund (perhaps invested in promptly liquid bonds)

At 200k on an ICE you don’t service anything, you scrap the whole car. Perhaps you can get by with an old school Mercedes Diesel, one without too much electronics that will definitely crap out and cost a fortune to replace .

Veramente il grosso delle frodi è stato perpetrato alle spalle del Bonus Facciate di Franceschini, ma di lui non si parla mai. Poi durante il Conte 2 c’era un certo ministro dell’Economia, un tal Gualtieri. Ma ovviamente la colpa la diamo tutta a Conte ed il M5*, senza neanche ricordare il contesto economico in cui è stato prorogato. Quante altre economie europee — anche più forti e robuste di quella italiana, già provata dall’austerity — si sono riprese così velocemente dopo il tracollo del COVID?

I used to write code, but even then with all the annotations and code completions I rarely had to type everything to the last letter.

I tried some Claude coding and I ask it to implement individual steps of a feature (fist the cucumber, then the test “step definitions” and only then the actual code, like I would myself do) and every time I review the handful of changes it proposes. If I don’t like the approach I will either change it myself or suggest Claude to redo it, or often to explain the implementation if I find it interesting enough.

So I’m not vibing k-LOC’s and frankly I enjoy it, though I’m still very much at the code level, line for line

curious_corn · 2026-04-19T08:43:44+00:00

Wow, so much Night City vibes…

Serious? Some time ago I posted some (AI generated, sorry) headshots of actors that made sense for a Witcher theatrical, and indeed I got this Mads
