Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 5hIt was a... fascinating experience. 🤨 I enjoyed watching it, and I liked the way Paratopic breaks the limits of what a video game can be. It is a work of art. Great as a concept but, still, not the kind of game I'd love to play. 110
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 5hDid you watch last year's Advent of Compiler Optimisations? xania.org/202511/adven...xania.orgIntroducing the Advent of Compiler Optimisations 2025 — Matt Godbolt’s blogAnnouncing AoCO 2025 - daily December posts about compiler optimisations 111
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 16hA timeline of me reading your transmed posts: - What is this issue about? - Of course this is the only correct way. - Or is it? - Time to face some assumptions. - But the world would turn into absolute chaos otherwise! - Time to do some research. - Oh. - *Sound of preconceptions shattering* 110
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 19hIs this the horror version of Barbapapa?static.klipy.comBarbapapa Happy in GardenAlt: Barbapapa (a pink, human-sized, blob-like figure) standing in a meadow while feeding some birds from one of his hands; meanwhile, a tortoise is watching him. The whole scenery is drawn with clear lines, bright colours, and is generally soothing. 120
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I like this hot take of yours. Time to start Hot-taketober! 021
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It's called BPD in Great Britain, and EUPD in the rest of Europe! /jk 110
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Not kidding: I saw a Miata video¹ recently, and I thought of you! ¹ It was this video www.instagram.com/reel/Dd8zgTd... by jaaaaaaael, which you may have already seen. 010
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 04/10/2026You can't kill it!static.klipy.comThe Blob MonsterAlt: The Blob from the 1958 film with the same name: a reddish, jelly blob, slowly wobbling around. The scene is set at night time in what appears to be a stereotypical city street in a 1950s American city. 030
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Please know that both of these things are completely untrue! 010
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 02/10/2026All of this also makes me even more disgusted with my association with the male gender, and more willing to abandon it (but I don't believe this last feeling of mine should be shared by most cis men). 030
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I feel guilty and ashamed: by merely existing as a man/male-presenting person, I share the responsibility of this, even if we concede that I, personally, have no fault. I believe I finally understand the concept behind the tragedy of Oedipus, now. I wish more men shared this opinion. 140
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Hearing about the quantity of microaggressions that most women endure *daily* always make me shudder. It's too easy to forget that having not to deal with such nonsense is a *huge* privilege. 130
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Earlier today, I woke up from an all-afternoon nap with the solution to the visual riddle. A weird experience, but an extremely satisfying one. 010
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 01/10/20261) How is Ness's perpetual stew doing? 2) What did Herald do to it? 120
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I've been taught to use similar answers in job interviews, especially back when I was a junior: «Have you ever used [X]?» «No, but I'm willing to learn it» = I never heard of that. «Not personally, but I helped a coworker using it in their project» = I read the tutorial once. 010
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It's one of the coolest cars of our time, and the colour is lovely! 120
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Is your C3 a regular one, or does it feature that amazing skyview, panoramic roof? 110
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Yeah, you could be dancing (yeah). Dancing... ... yeah. 000
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Actual LOL, both of you made me loaf loudly! 020
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Watching this game was quite an experience! I'm looking forward to seeing it again! 010

Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I almost guessed the definition (I was thinking of ducks and swallows, both African and European), but I would never get a crucial part of the wordplay: 010
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Today's #MinuteCryptic was most infuriating. The amount of profanity I spoke was *way* over par. 220
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 28/09/2026We've never seen any wobbly teeth, not until they were really about to fall. The discomfort (for our kid) happens days/weeks before, when a new permanent tooth is starting to push. I hope he gets better, and that you find why he's unwell! 010
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Chocolate should be okay, when it has a high percentage of cocoa. 010
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Could this be caused by his deciduous teeth starting to get replaced by his permanent teeth? Or is it too early? This has been the explanation of almost every sudden and unexplained behavioural change for us. 130
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 28/09/2026So, this must be the true origin of the «Wrong answers only» trend. 😁 020
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 28/09/2026An example is due: I walk by a bakery, and I am tempted by a small cake. I don't buy (and eat) a cake every time it happens, but I've been recording this as "saved" money regardless. 110
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I'm currently trying to save some money to treat myself, and I came up with this trick: I'm recording every small save, even if I would not have spent that money anyway. I am basically tricking myself but, in the end, I hope I'll have my treat! 110
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This is the kind of advice I'm unable to follow myself, BTW, so feel free to call me out, and/or use it against me in the future. 030
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Unpopular opinion: if you slept for 11 hours, you probably needed all of them. 240
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Yes, they did. I hope this is an accidental change. 010
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 27/09/2026If you have ever seen any PL/SQL code, you already know Ada. If you have ever seen any Pascal code, you have a good enough idea of what Ada looks like. (Disclaimer: I know PL/SQL, but I never programmed with Ada; take my unverified claims with a grain of salt.) 110
Danilo Piazzalunga @danilopiazza.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Is it PascalCase (capitalise the first letter of each word), but with an added underscore to separate them? It's a commonly used naming convention in Oracle PL/SQL, which is derived from Ada. 110
