L'ironia è che il documento sullo stato della guerra alla fuga di informazioni sui prodotti futuri da parte di Apple sia stato trafugato. Ciò non toglie che quello che l'azienda sta facendo per tenere segreti gli annunci dei nuovi prodotti (una manovra più che legittima per creare attesa nel pubblico) sia sotto attacco con tanta forza e determinazione. Un modo scorretto di terzi per fare un profitto alle spalle di chi lavora per produrre oggetti di valore per il mercato.

Money quote: "In the years since Tim Cook pledged to double down on secrecy, Rice’s team has gotten better at safeguarding enclosures. “In 2014 we had 387 enclosures stolen,” he says. “In 2015 we had 57 enclosures stolen, 50 of which were stolen on the night of announce, which was so painful.” In 2016, Rice says the company produced 65 million housings, and only four were stolen. “So it’s about a one in 16 million loss ratio, which is unheard of in the industry.”"

Tucidide. La guerra tra Atene e Sparta. Le relazioni tra America e Cina. Guardate bene, perché è cosi che si scivola nelle situazioni in cui una scintilla fa scoppiare l'incendio.

Money quote: "It might seem curious that an ancient Greek would cast a shadow over a meeting between a group of diplomats and generals from America and Asia. Most Americans probably don’t know Thucydides from Mephistopheles. But the Greek writer is a kind of demigod to international relations theorists and military historians, revered for his elegant chronicle of one of history’s most consequential wars, and his timeless insights into the nature of politics and warfare. The Yale University historian Donald Kagan calls Thucydides’ account “a source of wisdom about the behavior of human beings under the enormous pressures imposed by war, plague, and civil strife"

Gli sviluppatori di software scrivono programmi, cioè lunghi documenti di testo in cui il codice è spesso indentato, cioè organizzato per righe e con rientri in testa per ottenere degli allineamenti anche verticali.

Una ricerca che sta facendo sogghignare la rete sostiene che quelli che per fare l'indentazione usano la barra spazio (azionandola ripetutamente) anziché il tasto di tabulazione, guadagnano in media di più...

Money quote: "At least, that’s the case according to Stack Overflow’s 2017 Developer Survey, which found that the median developer who uses spaces over tabs earns roughly £13,000 ($16,500) more."

Scoprire perché il personale di cabina non prende bevande calde in volo non è confortante.

Money quote: l“Flight attendants will not drink hot water on the plane. They will not drink plain coffee, and they will not drink plain tea,” one flight attendant told Business Insider in February. Why the self-imposed ban on delicious warm beverages?"

Come sostengo dall'inizio, la stampa americana è il suo sistema immunitario e sta lottando per capire se possiede gli anticorpi per Donald Trump. Ma lo scontro frontale serve?

Tutte le bugie del presidente.

La rappresentazione grafica degli snodi dei libri avventura, quelli in cui si sceglie il prossimo passaggio tra le opzioni disponibili

Money quote: "The last installment of the original “Choose Your Own Adventure” series came out in 1998, but since 2004, Chooseco, founded by one of the series’ original authors, R.A. Montgomery, has been republishing classic volumes, as well as new riffs on the form of interactive fiction that seemed ubiquitous in the 1980s and ’90s. The new editions also carry an additional feature—maps of the hidden structure of each book"

Pare che tenere un diario - lo facevano per dire Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci e vari altri - sia un'esperienza balsamica e trasformativa.

Any book by Isaac Asimov

I have stacks of collections of science-fiction short stories. I grab these before getting on a long flight, so if a story is just unreadable, I have 20 others to try. Asimov was one of my favorites, and I still love his books. They were my go-to as a 10-year-old (which is still my normal mental state)."

Volevo dirvelo: io questo libro "The Secret History of Mac Gaming" di Richard Moss me lo compro.

Money quote: "The Secret History of Mac Gaming is the story of those communities and the game developers who survived and thrived in an ecosystem that was serially ignored by the outside world. It's a book about people who made games and people who played them — people who, on both counts, followed their hearts first and market trends second. How in spite of everything they had going against them, the people who carried the torch for Mac gaming in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s showed how clever, quirky, and downright wonderful videogames could be"
