Come funziona il lavoro delle grandi aziende rispetto ai progetti open source? In realtà lo dovremmo già sapere, perché ad esempio da due decenni circa Ibm pompa codice dentro Linux e altri progetti open source, ma è un processo abbastanza invisibile a chi sia fuori dal loop. Invece, un esempio che mi tocca più da vicino, perché uso il software in questione, è l'evoluzione del protocollo di comunicazione di Git. Interessante soprattutto vedere come funziona dalla parte di Google, che ha introdotto le migliorie che le interessano come azienda; Google infatti usa Git per la sua base di codice, che è enorme, e ha problemi di utilizzo e trasporto delle infornazioni, quindi vuole assolutamente un protocollo di trasmissione migliore.
Egoismo o altruismo?

Non tutti sono in grado di raccontare la stessa storia. Helen DeWitt ci riesce perfettamente e svela il marcio nel mondo editoriale. Banale, ma perfettamente eseguito.
Money quote: “DeWitt’s ruthless honesty about the sausage making of literary production is no doubt autobiographical. She has described her travails in the selling, copyediting, and typesetting of her now classic first novel, The Last Samurai, as well as the baroquely harrowing ordeals with the publishing industry and the financial difficulties that followed. But the generosity and humor of these stories soften any sense of personal grievance into something much more interesting and complicated. The stories are devastatingly specific, and yet they serve as broad parables about the inevitability of being misunderstood, both as an artist and as a person”

Le cose sono sempre un po’ più complicate di quello che non sembra. Anche quando riteniamo di averle capite. E gli effetti della realtà sulle proiezioni delle nostre attese sono strabilianti, vedi la vittoria di Donald Trump alle elezioni americane. Una delle chiavi di questa vittoria? Il declino dell’industria manifatturiera americana e la perdita di posti di lavoro. Ma se gli economisti hanno dismesso come populismo la crisi dei “blue collar” su cui ha invece costruito Trump, salta fuori che ci sono anche i dati che gli danno ragione. Solo che nessuno l’aveva capito.
Money quote: “But it turns out that Trump’s story of US manufacturing decline was much closer to being right than the story of technological progress being spun in Washington, New York, and Cambridge.
Thanks to a painstaking analysis by a handful of economists, it’s become clear that the data that underpin the dominant narrative—or more precisely, the way most economists interpreted the data—were way off-base. Foreign competition, not automation, was behind the stunning loss in factory jobs. And that means America’s manufacturing sector is in far worse shape than the media, politicians, and even most academics realize.”

Un po' di archeologia delle font, in particolare di quelle del Macintosh originale del 1984. L'articolo è davvero molto interessante, non solo per gli appassionati di tipografia.
Money quote: "Because a typeface is not just its pixels, but also its spacing, I wanted to look at the authentic source material for Chicago. That required some technical archaeology: the original Macintosh, released in 1984, was the first widely available computer that used proportional typography on screen and it had an entirely unique way of storing and managing fonts. (Standards like TrueType didn’t appear until later.)
I have some software background in typography, so I managed to extract the genuine 1984 font data using my 2018 computer. (The details of that part are a bit beside the point but are in the footnote at the bottom if you’re interested). Having got the font, bitmap and spacing data for Chicago, I used the same little program to extract all the other Macintosh bitmap fonts."

E in tutto questo, noi ovviamente non solo non prestiamo attenzione, ma neanche partecipiamo alla creazione delle cose importanti. Il Regolamento europeo della ePrivacy attende di entrare in vigore e fa sembrare la GDPR una barzelletta. Nessuno da noi ne parla, soprattutto nessuno dei nostri eurodeputati che io sappia è stato determinante nella sua scrittura e nel suo processo di formazione. Eppure, è forse la cosa più importante che stia succedendo in questo settore, ancora più della GDPR, anche perché qui si decide veramente il modo con il quale le persone possono essere toccate dalle aziende che raccolgono, tracciano e monetizzano le loro auree digitali.

Finalmente un discorso sensato, strutturato, sistemico sulle piattaforme. Visto che viviamo nell'epoca delle piattaforme (che spesso confondiamo con dei mercati, ma non lo sono), era l'ora!
Money quote: "In their book Platform Revolution (2016), Geoffrey Parker, Marshall Van Alstyne and Sangeet Paul Choudary argue that businesses used to be ‘pipes’ (linear models) and are becoming ‘platforms’ (networked models). Before the digital revolution, firms created goods and services, which they pushed out and sold to customers. The flow was from point A to point B – like pipes connecting deep-sea oil wells to the person who fills up the tank of their car with refined petrol.
Unlike pipes, however, platforms disrupt the clear-cut demarcation between producer and consumer, because they enable users to create as well as to consume value. Platforms need a different, non-pipe-like infrastructure. The major business challenge is to attract creators and consumers in the right proportions for transactions to occur. Platforms are in fact very similar to marketplaces: both create economic value by fostering exchanges between two (or more) groups. Now, though, this value can be generated within a company, not just outside it."

Sto rientrando in Italia da Taiwan via Hong Kong (dove sono per una giornata). All'andata ho visto un bel film in aereo, che è su Netflix: Kodachrome. La storia è stata ispirata da un articolo del New York Times del 2010 sulla chiusura dell'ultimo posto dove venisse sviluppata la pellicola di Kodak.
Money quote: "Demanding both to shoot and process, Kodachrome rewarded generations of skilled users with a richness of color and a unique treatment of light that many photographers described as incomparable even as they shifted to digital cameras. “Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day,” Paul Simon sang in his 1973 hit “Kodachrome,” which carried the plea “Mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away.”"

Ok, questa è una cosa un po’ da programmatori hardcore, lo ammetto (e ammetto di non esserlo, sia chiaro). Però la Shell Style Guide di Google è molto interessante perché apre un buon numero di punti che vale la pena sapere sugli obiettivi e sullo stile (il termine in inglese acquista comunque una connotazione che non è come da noi meramente estetica) con il quale gestire le cose che fogliamo fare nella shell. E già che c’è, si toglie anche un paio di sassolini dalla scarpa...

L’uomo di Tsushima è senza dubbio il capolavoro di Bonvi ed è anche uno dei fumetti che amo di più, probabilmente per l’età nella quale l’ho letto e per la già forte passione per il Giappone e la sua storia (anche se qui l’accento è sulla Russia zarista e la nascente rivoluzione). La battaglia di Tsushima è uno snodo fondamentale del ‘900 e Bonvi lo rese in maniera magistrale, pur modificandolo e forzandone alcuni passaggi. Sarebbe bello ce ne fosse una edizione più recente. In compenso, potete rallegrarvi con questo alato e ficcante saggio del buon Alberto Brambilla su Fumettologica, che offre testo e contesto al capolavoro di Bonvi.
Money quote: “La collana Un uomo un’avventura è stata, dopo l’ideazione della rivista Linus, la singola iniziativa editoriale che più ha ridefinito, mettendola in crisi, la tradizionale distinzione tra fumetto popolare e fumetto d’autore in Italia. Sergio Bonelli la aveva fortemente voluta ed aveva chiamato a parteciparvi le maggiori firme del fumetto nazionale, per creare dei veri e propri romanzi a fumetti di argomento e ambientazione liberi. L’unico vincolo era dato dal filo rosso reso esplicito sin dal titolo: dovevano essere storie d’avventura.
In una collana ricca di storie drammatiche, perlopiù di ambientazione bellica, realizzate da maestri del fumetto realistico/naturalistico quali Pratt, Toppi, Battaglia o Berardi&Milazzo, il vertice venne però da un’opera scritta e disegnata da un outsider, l’unico autore umoristico di tutta la collana: L’uomo di Tsushima di Bonvi, appunto.”
