This is patently, obviously _wrong_ for anyone who has tried learning any artistic skill in their life. Sorry to be this straightforward, but it gets on my nerves every time I read…

This is basically Art School 101, and the answer can be summed up as: Another painter would go for contextual and topical inference, specifically trying to understand why some tech…

Honestly it's not that much different than sampling in music. A few years ago Kayne West tried something similar when instead of paying Aphex Twin for the sample usage of "Avril 14…

Ha anyone been able to deploy a better behaving protocol over the same ASICs/SoCs in so many years? I mean, I'm pretty sure no hardware or software vendor is remotely happy with th…

Given the similarities between a Gamecube and a g4-era iBook (down to the ATI 9200-Like GPU) I'm surprised nobody ever tried modifying Dolphin to boot up Mac Os Classic.

Not OP, but flexbox went very famously trough a few breaking changes throughout its early history: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Flexibl... There were also s…

Honestly I never understood the logic behind the "HTML spec has to be forgiving towards errors". Like, what's so special compared to any other programming language? Popularity? Exc…

I'm mostly a designer and I've been trough the same experience trying to learn the ropes of modern ES6 javascript development and this matches my experience fully. On the same note…

I've worked mainly on Wordpress themes and plugins for the last 7-8 years, and I've yet to see anything resembling common best practices regarding testing, CI/CD or even deployment…

I'm fully aware I'm a rather mediocre frontend developer so my opinion on the matter has very little value, but on the other hand I have this feeling that HTML, CSS and JS on the h…

As I said in another post, I'm italian, and my grandparents had some direct experience on the matter. Their families were destroyed by nazists and fascists. My grandmother family w…

I couldn't care less what oblique definition of fascism came out from some american think-tank in the 80s, narrow enough to not anger any of their thatcherian or reaganite friends.…

Good god, enough with this "fascist and nazi seem to have lost all meaning" nonsense. Let's call it the "No true fascist fallacy". I could bring the corpse of Himmler here and some…

Had the very same experience while teach some programming intro courses for artists and designers (mostly simple python for maya/cinema 4d, and java for processing). Learning the l…

The article reports about multiple journalistic investigations by detailing the systemic corruption and coverups of sexual crimes bye the company managerial staff and HR, stemmed b…

Precisely. Our taxation system feels closer to a middle age poll tax than anything else. Upon collection is nearly impossible to get a precise idea where or what they're doing with…

Given that here in southern Italy they're usually paid 1/5 of their nominal wage, I'm not surprised. A few companies I've worked with would have folded if they had to pay most of t…

Another funny anecdote on the relationship between organized crime and "ground control" near this very same town: Two days ago they burned to the ground a freaking kids library, It…

I've basically lived in Sicily my entire life and I can't think of a single business (company or family-owned) earning more than 250.000€ per year that didn't have to face some mem…

Agreed. My day job revolves around "visual dev tools" like VVVV, Reaktor and Unity/Playmaker, and "Should I use a GUI or a scripting language" is rarely the issue. I've seen Art St…

Sorry for the late answer. What I mean is, If this is going to actually affect the money flow from North Italy to... basically the black hole which is the political and criminal ec…

And this is the reason why the referendum will go basically nowhere, by the way.

It's not reductive at all. It's pretty much confirmed that most of the "Cassa del Mezzogiorno" money for Sicily went straight to Cosa Nostra.

I'd love to comment more specifically, but as one of those people from the "poorer South" - by all means, do it. Those 5000€ have historically never been actually routed to the act…
