Se da una parte il grande lavoro nella Sanità ha reso chiaro quanto sia importante che sia una e Pubblica, dall'altra alcune maestre sembra si stiano impegnando a far fare brutta figura alla Scuola Pubblica.

Stasera hanno mandato i compiti per 2, due, DUE settimane di pausa per le "vacanze" 🤐 di Pasqua.
Due paginette in croce che in due giorni li abbiam finiti.

E proprio ora che era ripartita una minima routine di 2, due incontri di 1h e mezza in videoconferenza la settimana.

Che delusione profonda 😞

Yesterday for my birthday my family organized a "trip" to Japan ⛩️ for me, including flight: my wife and I passengers and children flight personnel 😆 and then simulated flight with video ✈️

Once we arrived, dinner in Tokyo 🗼 🍜 !

I love my family! #quarantine

https://www.se-radio.net/2020/01/episode-396-barry-oreilly-on-antifragile-architecture/ interesting podcast on the concept of antifragility, although the example of pneumonia (look at the date) is now out of place 😶.

TL;DR: antifragile systems are systems that grow stronger because of stress instead of collapsing.

Step 4) spread garlic over the bread
Step 5) put everything together with more tomato sauce and vegetable broth

Step 3) cut bread 🍞 in pieces (old bread is 👌)

Luckily I use btrfs and snapper to keep a few snapshots of my disc, and inside there I could recover the keyring, but I was still missing the password.

That done I worked, had lunch, came back to the keyboard and...

Typed my old password!

So I restored back my password in sync with the keyring, an my laptop was back fully operational!

I later realized that a copy of the backup key is stored in my online password manager too, but nonetheless, thanks #btrfs!

After the holiday I forgot my laptop user password. Luckily not the disc encryption one, just the user. So I did the live CD dance to mount the disk and reset the user password.

That done I could boot but the keyring was locked, because the password didn't match.

I removed the keyring, and that done I realized that inside I had the encryption key of my backup. And I can't restore the keyring from the backup without that key.

One day you will be touched by the curse of the Senior Developer, half of your team will not do a real review of your code, assuming it is correct, and then you will have to review it twice before assigning it. #developerlife

Country house: just seen a movie in streaming trough a tethering connection from my home Synology NAS, welcome future! Iliad has been a game chenger

We received a lot of applications for https://rustlab.it , choosing the right ones for the schedule will be very hard

The Call for Proposals for RustLab 2019 is open, the theme is _Rust at Work_ https://www.rustlab.it/ https://www.papercall.io/rustlab2019 #Rust #conference #italy join us on June 28-29 in Florence

If you have adopted Rust, please share your experience submitting a talk, if you are planning the adoption, join us at the conference!

I have found a dual feeling about code ownership: there is the bad gut 🚫 feeling of defending your precious code, and the good caregiver 🤰 feeling of seeing your code grow robust and maintainable.

Tech Leaders should promote the caregiver ownership, and think in that terms for what enters in the master of a long running project.

My #rust2019 wish-list https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/a6y6my/rust_2019_wishlist/ TL;DR
- Partial borrow of structs
- Function like macros (proc_macro_hygiene)
- Const generics
- Established crates (central crates for the ecosystem, shared community effort on them?)
