Vibed but cool experiment. Created a nimlang python package that makes it easy to try nim with uv, you do not even need to have a c compiler (thanks to existing ziglang python package). In the following minimal example you get 10x improvement for fib(30) github.com/pietroppeter...

Pineta Ragabo, giretto ad Anello partendo dal Brunek. Pini che paiono sequoie, querce (ma non ho visto ghiande), ginestre (quelle ad albero), felci (pare Jurassic Park), prati (verdi a luglio) e… colate (quella del 2002)

(I guess your reading list is likely already long enough but after watching the adoption talk and seeing your interest in organizations cannot resist talking about the book reinventing organizations, which gives a very nice framework for organizational evolution - are corporates the dinosaurs?)

Nice day at @oss-torino.bsky.social setup a new meta oss repo and played with an obsidian vault as a git repo workflow. played with Claude, both from ghostty and with claudian obsidian plugin. Nerd sniped by someone working on mojo python interop to do the same with Nim codeberg.org/pietroppeter...

I blinked and it seems Smartboxes are having a come back. Did they make the rounds and become vintage? Addio stress per due!

Dalla mia timeline su X ogni 3 post vedo questo. Non ci passo spesso e non ci faccio troppo caso ma un tale livello di spazzatura è notevole

Era da un po’ di tempo che non mi sorprendeva un ristorante. Ottimo polpo su pappa al pomodoro e spaghetti calamari e canellini (con mollica e piccante)

Timeline cleanse. Take a breath, maybe consider getting out of here (or not). Have a splendid day! ⛰️ 🧘‍♂️

While listening to this morning keynote at PyCon Italia, my brain made a weird connection between languages, performance and community. Diego was speaking about how the performance was not a problem early on and trade-off was on making compiler code readable and lower complexity. Focus on community

I have been playing with a new kind of puzzle a word based mini sudoku where you have clues with word to insert (it is basically the seek and spell sudoku found on gmpuzzles minus the arrow and minified). It is fun. My 6 year old also has fun with it. Working name: parloku

Luxury is not a design problem. From an industrial design methodology book. Very interesting book (besides the luxury quote) that seems relevant also for data projects (and now I am wondering what is luxury in that context)

Nice two weeks of remote work in #Catania are coming to an end. Productive work, enjoyed time with local colleagues, and managed also to put in a weekend in Lipari and a very nice conference on Vulcanology by @borisetneo.bsky.social. But nothing beats having a swim and granita before work ;) 🌊 🌋 🐘
