6 Reasons Why Linux Users Switch to BSD

Il mondo degli skater ha un nuovo idolo: Tyshawn Jones.
Money quote: "It has been a long time since skateboarding has seen a figure like Jones, someone who rapidly and almost out of nowhere redefines what’s physically possible on a board. His skateboarding is, as one of his sponsors, Jason Dill, put it to me, the type that anyone in the general public can appreciate: ‘‘It’s easily translatable. The physics of what he’s doing is apparent.’’ Jones possesses an unholy combination of vertical leap, flexibility, strength, finesse and timing — which skaters call, somewhat reductively, ‘‘pop’’ — that allows him to launch himself and his board over or onto seemingly whatever he wants, sometimes appearing to float for just a beat too long at the apex, as if briefly entering low orbit."

Psicopatologia di Donald Trump: sofferente di una condizione mentale legata al narcisismo, potenzialmente devastante, dai risvolti però interessanti, perché in questo caso si mette l’accento sulla prevedibilità dei comportamenti del presidente Usa. Tra i quali la possibilità che si dimetta. È la prima volta che lo leggo, ma vale la pena segnarselo.
Money quote: “Typically, when all else fails and narcissists are unable to get the attention and affirmation they need, they play the victim. If the investigations continue to intensify, and if Trump begins to lose the affection of his base, Fox News pundits, and Republican leaders, he may resign, Behary predicts, based on all the narcissists she has treated for decades. “He’ll point the finger and say, ‘I was making America great again, and the Democrats stopped me.’””

Money quote: “When Parrott’s Ex-Wife was published, anonymously, in 1929, it was an immediate sensation. It went on to sell over a hundred thousand copies in nine editions. The publisher billed it as a “sociological document,” suggesting that the twenty-eight-year-old narrator, Patricia, would provide readers with a glimpse into the rapidly changing sexual mores of the time. The fact that the novel was published anonymously gave it the aura of confession.”

Money quote: “To make these socks, she looped wool yarn around a single needle, and emulated the strategy of making one toe at a time. (This wasn’t Pointer’s first naalbinding rodeo, though, as she’s also used the technique to make ones in the style of the Viking Age.) The process of making one cup for the lone big toe, a larger one for the others, then joining them together “is the most practical way to make them,” she says. “Most early items like this show a very logical approach to construction when you look closely.”“
