È sabato: Andare Camminare a Lavorare

@GustavinoBevilacqua Put this on stack overflow and watch the IT world crumble to pieces.

@lowqualityfacts Not really, but still it would be much better if everyone recycled their waste.

@margio@hachyderm.io @UtenteDisattivata Mi lascia sbigottito, non tanto per il video pessimo, l'idea di merda e la realizzazione peggiore.
Non capisco a che serva il video: si presenta l'Italia come metà turistica, in italiano e mostrando video di turisti stranieri che fanno cose turistiche. Poi la maggior parte del video si concentra sullo spiegare l'idea di avere concepito la Venere come immagine virtuale della cultura italiana.
Gli Italiani non verranno invogliati da un video del genere a visitare l'Italia, come può invece fare una pubblicità regionale, e dubito che la gente vada dagli amici stranieri a dirgli di seguire la Venere sui social.
Un video promozionale dell'Italia è bene farlo, ma non dovrebbe essere in Italiano e dovrebbe mostrare gli italiani e quello che fanno.

Torno a casa, sono le 8 del mattino. Si comincia a lavorare alle 8 del mattino. Prendo lo zaino e vado al lavoro.
Per fortuna stacco alle 3, alla mensa universitaria e mi danno lasagne e piselli.
Vado al parco, affianco ad una bella ragazza, e mi addormento sullo zaino.
Un signore con la fisarmonica suona bella ciao, vado a dargli le poche monete che ho in tasca e ballo alcune canzoni.
Mentre mi riposo tra l'erba passano delle ragazze italiane che ho incrociato un paio di volte, più tardi le ho raggiunte in un bar e ci siamo conosciuti un po'.
Faccio un giro per il centro storico e tornando a casa incontro un tedesco in vacanza che ho conosciuto ieri notte. Ha fame e lo porto in un baretto a mangiarsi un panino; mi offre una birra e parlando di quanto guadagni in Germania e che bella vita faccia mi convince a restare nella mia condizione.
Tornando a casa incontro un'amica brasiliana, dice che vuole comprare un appartamento e mi porta a vedere la finestra; sta in centro e sembra ristrutturato, dice che me lo affitterebbe a 700€ al mese. Ha 4 camere da letto: il prezzo è ottimo.
La riaccompagno a casa e mi dirigo a casa, incontro una amica che suona la cornamusa, stiamo un poco assieme e la invito a cena giovedì prossimo.
Fortunatamente mancano 20 minuti prima che chiudano i supermercati, mi trovo la mia macellaia di fiducia e prendo dei pesci, jurel.
Al fine sono arrivato a casa, il pesce è in forno.
Tra poco andrò a letto. Almeno domattina potrò riposare al lavoro.

@ernandy Where is the money for the bicycles coming from?
Is that just the VAT from the sale of bicycles? Taxing bike owners?
I don't understand how using bicycles could make the government earn a net amount of money; can you explain?

People think chemists can do Amphetamines and how that's probably our main focus.
In truth, we optimize our processes in order to reduce the amount of Amphetamines we produce...

@gilesgoat Chemistry expert here: is it just grease? Hot water (plenty) soap and time will take it away.
Is it very greasy and you want to quickly clean it out? Use some powder to absorb it and then throw it away, I use used coffee powder from the moka, but I guess flour or stuff like that shall work as well.

I don't know what fairy contains, for the dishes I generally just use Marseille soap which works and it's cheap. If you want next level degreasing find yourself some sodium laurylsulphate and you'll be stripping grease from anywhere.

But also: if you're cooking with plenty of fat just don't use a non stick pan, you don't need it.

@kira The system searches all folders specified in the environment variable PATH.

One notable difference from windows systems, which may be confusing when switching is that files are not organized by software but by type. If you install Firefox in windows you'll get a folder named Firefox somewhere in your system with all files associated to Firefox contained within. This does not happen in Linux (which may render the operation of finding all files associated to a software a bit more difficult) in Linux the files associated to Firefox are divided: all the executable files go together in a folder containing all the executable files of all the programs installed, all library files go together in a folder with all the library files installed by other programs and so on.

Generally, system wide executables are installed in 4 different locations:
/usr/bin
/usr/sbin
/usr/local/bin
/opt

/usr/bin is the standard place where software installed by your package manager goes, while /usr/local/bin is generally where you place stuff you manually install. These folders are included in PATH so that you can execute the software without writing the full name.
/usr/sbin contains executable files which are used for system administration and which require higher privileges to be executed.
/opt is generally empty and it's a convenience folder, it's generally used when you need for whatever reason to install software "windows style", people generally have folders here with the name of the software containing all associated documents and manually add the executable folder to their PATH variable.

Then we get to user stuff, if you're compiling software or installing something on a system where you don't have administrative privileges, you can install software locally.
In your home folder is contained a folder called .local generally people use this folder as a user owned /usr/ folder, thus you can create a bin folder in there, install your executables and add that folder to your PATH environment variable.

To add folders to your PATH environment variable, you would add a line to the file ~/.profile which is read when you login (you may have to logout to make changes effective)
Such as:
export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin

@kira Yes, you're right. As long as the software was compiled for the correct system architecture and you have the appropriate shared libraries on your system the software should run regardless of the distribution.
Now, regarding installing this software, in this kind of cases I would rather compile the software from the source code if that is available as that makes it easier to update as long as they provide a half decent make file.
However, compiling software may be tedious especially if it's something you never did; thus you may prefer installing the software from the package provided on another distribution.
The reasons why you have different software packaging methods and repositories are complex, but mainly boil down to different philosophies an requirements on update schedule and stability.
This makes it so that different package management software are not compatible with each other: you can not install dpkg packages with pacman. However, what they do is just place a bunch of documents in an appropriate directory, that can be done manually.
If you look at the structure of a package file, it's generally just an archive which contains all the binaries, documentation and libraries associated to the software and some additional information regarding where to place this stuff on the system and what other packages are required to make it work properly.
Thus, you can unpack the archive and put the files in their place https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-extract-a-deb-file-without-opening-it-on-debian-or-ubuntu-linux/. If you decide to go this way, I would advise using a utility such as stow which will allow you to keep files in your system organized together and allow you to easily uninstall the software.
Now you can test if the software works, if it does not work it's because you're missing some library, thus use your package manager to install those as well. If it still does not work, then the libraries provided by your distribution are not compatible with that software; in which case you would have to manually install the appropriate library version as well.

@kira I'm European, the term does not feel offensive to me, however it's a very strange way to refer to people which I would not use. I believe it's a term mainly used in North America, and I have no idea whether it has an offensive connotation there.

Regarding being racist that's opinable. Frankly, to me, the idea of the existence of a South American race, even if you believe races exist, is just plain stupid. People over there are mainly descendants of European colonizers, that happened quite recently and I don't believe anyone would argue enough time passed to form a distinct race.
However, in the United States I do believe it does have a racist connotation: I have applied for a few jobs positions and they always ask you about your race, as far as I understood it it is required by law.
They plainly ask you "select your race" and you have several choices, if I'm not mistaken it's generally - White (not Latino) and White (Latino).
In this case the word does have a racist connotation, it implies that Latino is a race of white people.
I do not think it's offensive per se, but I always found it funny to receive these questions regarding my race.
