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 it. If you tried learning, let's say,…
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 techniques and painting styles garner a…
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 14th", he asked John Legend to play…
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 the current status quo.
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 some more subtle behavior changes a few…
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, it took me days to wrap my head…
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 coming from Automattic, especially…
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 hindsight were probably some of the…
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 was jewish, A have a few pictures of her…
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. I'm italian, my grandfather was…
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 people would regurgitate the same…
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 language is rather easy, and if you're…
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 by the accusation of ex-employees on…
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 that money. I wouldn't be surprised if…
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 their employees what's written on their…
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, Italy's president was supposed to speak…
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 Students learn the basics of C# rather…
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 ecosystem of Southern politics, well -…
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 actual regions, anyway - mainly they get…
