Vivo in Sardegna in aperta campagna, cerco di fare solo cose non utilizzabili a scopi malefici, spesso ci riesco. Vorrei passare da una vita davanti a uno schermo a una dietro a una zappa.
I've got a phd in physics and dabble with complex systems, graphs, networks and optimization for a living. Currently trying to understand congestion in urban traffic.
My home is 100% solar powered. Love running, biking and sailing.

easy books teach you nothing, they just relabel what you already know
Aprire la homepage della rivista su cui stai per sottomettere un nuovo articolo e trovare il tuo vecchio paper del 2021 nello spotlight su Urban Networks. Sossoddisfazioni.
Mi sto preoccupando, dal calcetto son passato alla corsa e alla bici con due spruzzate annuali di deriva. A calcetto non gioca più nessuno che son tutti rotti e svogliati, l'unico modo per muoversi in questi pomeriggi notturni è diventato giocare a padel.
Mi manca solo votare Calenda o Renzi e poi abbattetemi.

Oggi giornata di sciopero e manifestazione a Cagliari. Comunque Landini è dialetticamente molto efficace e sembra una persona umile e alla mano.

Portugal just ran on 100 percent renewables for six days in a row.
For nearly a week, the country of 10 million met customer needs with wind, hydro and solar — a test run for operating the grid without fossil fuels.

Sembrava di essere a Nazarè 😄
Dal video non si vede bene, ma sono onde alte circa 5.5m.
Avete presente quelli che quando scrivono cose tipo 'stasera mi faccio un'insalata di ginocchi' se la prendono col T9?
OK però il T9 era n'altra cosa.
O forse è una figura retorica strana per cui si accusa una tecnologia al posto di un'altra? Una metonimia, un poliptoto?

The Websurfer's Handbook
Oggi momento idiota nella scrittura di un paper scientifico. Si vede che è venerdì...
Con un mio collega stavamo inventando un nome scemo da dare al metodo che abbiamo sviluppato e ci è venuta una cosa tipo TRAFFIQVM e ci siamo fatti fare un logo a caso da una roba tipo DALL-E.
Dopo un po' il mio capo, che era settimane che doveva dare una lettura al testo su overleaf, mi scrive: "ma che roba è sto TRAFFIQVM!!!?!?"
Io: "...niente.",
RESOLVE COMMENT.

Paywalled article here, I'll share once I have a non-paywalled link (hopefully soon): https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03610-5
The summary: astronomers spent a lot of time asking SpaceX and other large satellite operators to pretty please make their satellites fainter and/or use fewer satellites. And then BlueWalker 3 was launched by some tiny company and is one of the brightest things in the sky. Asking nicely isn't working: international regulation and pollution penalties are needed.

The late Terence McKenna on the Rio Putumayo, Colombia, 1971:
“When you show up in a village with a butterfly net, it’s immediately obvious to even the youngest child why you are there; and it’s non-threatening, it’s friendly. You are tagged as a harmless eccentric.”
It takes a bit of effort and some change to your routine, but it's quite rewarding when you're able to feed the home electrical needs, the heating and refill the car with your own photovoltaic panels. I'm trying to continue as much as possible as we approach the dark season...
And the point here is not just to save money, but to prove that we can still live comfortably with almost no impact on the environment.
Yeah, I know lithium, yeah, I know SiO2. But I also know that doing nothing and going on driving your diesel car and heating your house with gas is not an answer. The point is to try to keep your car, heat pump, solar panels and battery working for 20-40 years. And to do that you must be able to fix by yourself almost everything by choosing only "open" and reliable devices.
I know, it's hard.
Despite having a great espresso machine, making a good coffee with the Moka Bialetti Induction is really rewarding. This morning it was so good that I drank the whole stuff and I'm still a bit accelerated 🏃
Inspired by several gorgeous photos taken on #film seen here tonight, I share these ones I took in 2009 in Corsica: two depict the Miyazaki-style citadel of Bonifacio in the very South, and the other two were shot above the port of Bastia at dusk.
I used a Canon AE-1 and the standard 50mm f/1.8 lens. #SIlentSunday #OldPhotos #believeinfilm
