C'è questa cosa che per lo sviluppo anche del front-end dei siti è necessario tornare a lavorare con la riga di comando. Ed è una buona cosa, probabilmente. Se si sa come farla. Ecco, questo è il motivo oltre che il modo.

A love story between two text editors in which I’m the happy third wheel.
Erano anni che non leggevo un articolo così chiaro e centrato su un tema come quello della prostituzione. L'autrice ha scritto un libro dopo essersi prostituita per sette anni, dai 15 ai 22, e spara ad alzo zero su tutta quella parte del mondo che fa credere per un motivo o per un altro che la prostituzione sia qualcosa di plausibile. Non lo è. Neanche da lontano. Il problema non è legalizzarla o meno. Il problema è che esiste, e non c'è un modo per romanticizzarla.
Detto questo, se volete pensare che io sia un moralista, beh, potreste anche aver ragione. Ma almeno non sono un ipocrita.
Money quote: "While it is fashionable for some female academics, journalists and social commentators to declare the validity of prostitution as employment and to endorse and support this fiction in their books, articles and opinion columns, I note that they resolutely will not practise what they preach. They are not usually willing to have their own bodies used to prove their point. What’s always been particularly galling to me about socially privileged upper middle-class women who popularise these views is that, just like Marie Antoinette before them, they are so far removed from the experience that they cannot relate to it even at a conceptual level. That they are handsomely remunerated to opine on what’s good enough for desperate women is just the spit and polish on the insult."
Moeny quote 2: "Oh, and the oldest profession in the world is midwifery. Prostitution is not any sort of profession, never mind the oldest one."

Fra le strane cose di cui è fatto il mondo ci sono le *vending machine*, le macchinette distributrici di bibite, caffè e snack. Se ne sa poco e se ne parla ancora meno. Peccato, perché hanno una storia piuttosto particolare, bisogna dire.
Money quote: "The coffee we drank that morning had trickled into cardboard cups from one of his own hot-beverage makers. Business had been hurt badly by Covid, he said. There had been one wretched day in the spring of 2020 when he awoke to find himself not the owner of the second-largest fleet of vending machines in the UK, but instead, of “timebombs. All these machines of ours in places we couldn’t access. All full of perishable food.” After enduring months of closed workplaces, abandoned airports and dead campuses, the Brodericks had lost millions on foregone Twirls and Mini Cheddars. Even so, Johnny Brod was bullish, insisting that the pandemic presented him with opportunities, too."

L'uomo forte non è una cosa che succede da sola, grazie al tipo che prende in mano le redini del comando e parte. No, c'è di più, è un fenomeno molto più complesso. Dentro il quale ci sono anche pensieri giuridici alquanto raffinati, come nello studioso di diritto che sta dietro alla Repubblica di Weimar e poi al nazismo, morto nel 1985. E le cui idee adesso stanno tornando di gran moda.
Money quote: "Populism is not just a bull-in-a-china-shop way of doing politics. There is a theoretical tradition that seeks to justify strongman rule, an ideological school of demagoguery, one might call it, that is now more relevant than ever. Within that tradition, one thinker stands out: the conservative German constitutional lawyer and political theorist Carl Schmitt (1888-1985). For a time, he was the principal legal adviser to the Nazi regime. And today his name is approaching a commonplace. Academics, policymakers and journalists appeal to him in order to shed light on populist trends in the US and elsewhere. A recent article in The New York Review of Books argues that the US attorney general William Barr is ‘The Carl Schmitt Of Our Time’. The Oxford Handbook of Carl Schmitt (2017) came out in print the year after Trump’s election. After decades as a political rogue, forced to launch his attacks on liberalism from the sidelines, Schmitt’s name has returned to prominence."

Il tema della privacy è un tema politico, certamente. Ma le sue complessità tecniche lo rendono difficile da comprendere basandosi su una logica per così dire "analogica" o meglio ancora "fatta di atomi". Occorre una capacità di analisi e comprensione diversa e più ricca. È questo che mi viene in mente leggendo questo articolo in cui emergono aspetti e spigolature come ad esempio il bisogno di tutelare l'integrità degli scritti sulle proprie pagine per evitare che le Cdn ci pasticcino e mettano altre cose dentro. Insomma, il mondo è piuttosto complicato, no?

Microsoft is so confident it has built the future of productivity, it’s now open-sourcing its Fluid Framework so the rest of the world can help shape what it has created. Some Office.com users will even be able to start getting an early look at this Fluid future in the coming months."

Sul perché ‘Burn After Reading’ sia una delle migliori interpretazioni di Brad Pitt (un attore notevole)
Money quote: "How much Pitt is able to do with just mannerisms and looks alone is incredible. From his rehearsed squinting eyes and his line “looks can be deceptive” that he falls back on as a crutch as the situation gets away from him will cause deep belly laughs. Pitt’s quality is always consistent, but this is a role we should remember when looking back at his filmography."

Un racconto surreale su Occupy Wall Street, attivismo, processi, persecuzioni, vendette, difese, visioni politiche. C'è un mondo (e anche un certo disagio in chi lo legge) dentro questo articolo.
Money quote: "Objectively speaking, you should not troll prosecutors. Objectively speaking, I should not have tweeted that Langston and the editor of a prominent feminist blog were dating. But why shouldn’t the messy public-private divide cut both ways? I knew Langston was reading my tweets, and his whole “trying to put me in jail” thing felt very personal. What’s off-limits when someone wants to lock you in a cage? What could be a greater privacy violation than jail? It’s not like I tried to cavity search him. Besides, I was scared. Humanizing the state in the person of this prosecutor made me feel safer, even though it may have just put me at greater risk."

Money quote: "Buscemi has a whole three-story brownstone to himself in Brooklyn's idyllic Park Slope neighborhood, which is basically Sesame Street if the Muppets were gluten-intolerant and wore fashion clogs. He moved here back in the early '90s, long before it became a punch line about yuppies. I live here too and can confirm he is a neighborhood institution: There's our famous park, there's our famous food co-op, there's Steve Buscemi."

Money quote: "The crane operators were careful not to mow over the existing graves as they maneuvered the 17-foot long, gray wooden box toward the 19-foot hole in the middle of the Alamo Masonic Cemetery. Inside the box lay the perfectly manicured corpse of the 38-year-old socialite and heiress, Sandra West. Mrs. West was positioned as if reclining in the driver’s seat of her beloved 1964 powder-blue Ferrari 300 America. In accordance with her will, she was dressed in her favorite white lace Italian nightgown with “the seat slanted comfortably.” The radio was tuned to her favorite station.
The box was then filled with concrete to deter opportunistic graverobbers."

Un bel ritratto di MacKenzie Scott, che è una donna con una identità forte e definita ma che è tuttavia segnata dal mondo nel quale è nata. Alla fine, tutto quel che ha fatto ricade sulle fortune (e sfortune) del padre e poi del marito Jeff Bezos. Questo ritratto cerca di spiegare chi è Scott, perché fa beneficienza e cosa succede quando una donna diventa estremamente ricca ma non è più "protetta" dal marito estremamente potente oltre che ricco.
Money quote: "But as Ms. Scott’s fame for giving away money has grown, so, too, has the deluge of appeals for gifts from strangers and old friends alike. That clamor may have driven Ms. Scott’s already discreet operation further underground, with recent philanthropic announcements akin to sudden lightning bolts for unsuspecting recipients."

Ritorna lo scontro di civiltà. O piuttosto ritorna l'orso russo, spietato e famelico come tutti gli orsi? L'abisso dell'anima russa in questo articolo del 2014, anno dell' inglobamenti della Crimea.
Money quote: "Non c’è da stupirsi che questi ultimi abbiano finito per percepire la Russia come una forza distruttrice. Joseph Conrad, che nella sua nativa Polonia sperimentò in prima persona l’insaziabile fame di territorio dell’impero russo, lo definì un impero del nulla. In “Autocrazia e guerra” (1905), per esempio, scrisse che fin dalla sua nascita in Russia “la brutale distruzione della dignità, della verità, della rettitudine, di tutto ciò che è buono nella natura umana è stata la condizione della sua esistenza”. Sotto l’ombra opprimente dell’autocrazia russa “nulla poteva crescere”. Circa otto decenni dopo, in “La tragedia dell’Europa centrale” (1984), Milan Kundera avrebbe fatto un’osservazione simile: quando i russi portarono il totalitarismo nel suo paese “fecero tutto il possibile per distruggere la cultura ceca”. Infatti, per lui, la “civiltà russa totalitaria è la negazione radicale dell’Occidente moderno”. “"
