Italian, MSc in chemistry specialized in cheminformatics and QSAR.
I'm interested in cooking and building stuff.
I love traveling, I lived in India, China, Slovenia, Poland and Spain.
Currently working in Spain in the field of genomics; and doing a PhD in Drug Development using Quantum Mechanics and Artificial Intelligence.
Don't take what I say as an insult, I have no bad intentions and I'm open to talk about it.
Don't star my toots, I find that often useless: if you liked it send a reply.
Consider boosting the toots, it's the only real way in which stuff is propagated through mastodon.

@UmWerker @OpenCulture libraries existed for centuries without devaluing books and authors' talents, it was the publishing industry and the platformization of media via companies like amazon that did that. as for AI replacing human authors, that's not happening any time soon.

One of the first useful (and needed) programs I wrote for a friend, in the mid '80, took the data from the memory of a Leica total station via COM1: and created a DXF file of the surveyed points, with numbers and elevations, to feed to a pirate copy of Autocad.
And I made it in Turbo Pascal 1.0.

Cose da fare ogni giorno on company time:
- annaffiare le piante
- controllare i lamponi
- raccogliere le more
- scavare un paio di metri di swale
- migliorare le mappe su OSM
- giocare con il cane
e poi dicono che se non avessimo un lavoro non sapremmo cosa fare

Aurelio C.
Il pittore democratico.
Comunista, militò nella Resistenza, e militante fu per tutta la vita: importante fu il suo contributo artistico anche in America Latina, dove dipinse, a Managua, murales ormai diventati famosi.
Qui alcune sue opere.

@rastinza no, but the slides are in the repository: https://github.com/pietervdvn/MapComplete/blob/develop/Docs/Presentations/MapComplete_Theme_Building_Workshop_SOTM2022.odp
Before using a library to perform calculations that has been developed by a research group...
Read the damn source code and do extensive testing, people publish buggy stuff that doesn't perform the calculations correctly

Sometimes long pressing on the link makes the application crash
@apps I found a bug.
In the timeline I would expect long pressing on a link to pull up the menu with the sharing options.
What actually happens is this: long pressing on the link makes nothing happen.
If you open the toot by pressing on it and then go back to the timeline by pressing the back button, the sharing menu shows up.
Apparently the Irish have a PDO on Oriel Sea Salt.
This is absurd... What should be so particular about this salt to protect it?

L'Italia è un paese talmente fascista che bisogna stare attenti a chi baci e abbracci per strada, sennò finisci in ospedale.

There's a reason nobody reads man pages and nobody provides well written man pages anymore: they're horrible, for authors and users alike. They were literally designed to be printed on paper.
Features I'd expect from a "modern" man system:
- cross references
- syntax highlighting
- search- & browse-ability
- actionable items
- anchors
