Mi arrendo. Se in un momento come questo il leader di un importante partito gioca a fare il complottista, è inutile smentire o ribattere. Anzi è inutile parlare.
Questa settimana è in programma il Cda di Aifa. Mi auguro che si apra all’utilizzo di tutti i farmaci utili a curare il Covid, anche quelli che "danno fastidio" alle multinazionali perché costano poco.

"I don't have time to write tests". Do you have time to: 1. Run the app manually after each change 2. Investigate and fix broken builds 3. Investigate and fix QA errors 4. Investigate and fix production errors Add all that up. Writing automated tests *saves* time.

You are under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.

Conte non ha affatto abusato di un discorso alla nazione per attaccare le opposizioni. Ha, in diretta nazionale, evidenziato delle bufale in quanto tali, segnalando chi in quel momento stesse disinformando il paese: Salvini e Meloni. (1/7)

I'm attending Failover Conf. A virtual event on reliability because you always need a backup plan. #FailoverConf RT if you think others will find this helpful 🙌 failover-conf.heysummit.com

Tip: Avoid large pull requests. Find ways to break them up into smaller ones. Small PRs can be: * Easier to review. Intent is clearer and mistakes are more obvious * Less likely to conflict with others work * Compatible w/large new features - e.g behind a flag * Not a panacea :)

The FEYNMAN technique of learning: STEP 1 - Pick and study a topic STEP 2 - Explain the topic to someone, like a child, who is unfamiliar with the topic STEP 3 - Identify any gaps in your understanding STEP 4 - Review and Simplify! 🧠

The denial of visas for people to attend scientific conferences inhibits the free flow of ideas that is essential for scientific progress. I wish visas weren't such a hindrance, especially for those from underrepresented countries in the field of ML. We need everyone's voice!
This never ends. This year, so far, 15 out of 44 people to attend @black_in_ai workshop at @NeurIPSConf (which is still in Canada) have been denied visas. That's 33%. We had all this press last year, they were supposed to help us this year.

Custom/rewritten import paths are an antipattern. They make codebase navigation difficult by default.

Science is a culture of doubt. Religion is a culture of faith.
