Sarà perché mio padre, che era agnostico come me, faceva di mestiere delle bellissime vetrate per le chiese, ma io tre quarti delle @ChieseBrutte non le trovo affatto brutte. Non per questo belle, ma insomma... Immaginate di dovere progettare una chiesa, una chiesa reale, poi ne riparliamo.

Can the most famous toccata & fugue of Bach be played on the guitar? Yes, especially if it's an 11-string guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4cAzEvMsHE

Today I fell flat on my face, broke a tooth, and had several aching places in my body. Went to the ER, where I got a thorough visit, a medical ultrasound and a CT scan, all for free (yes, dear friends in the US), plus, since I was going to the office, a piece of paper by which the national insurance for accidents at work will pay for most of the repair of my tooth. On top of this, all doctors that visited me were very nice. I felt very lucky in the disgrace.

If you are unsure what to think of what #Israel is doing in #Gaza, you may want to listen to this interview (1 h, in English) with a Palestinian #journalist, Sami al-Ajrami, who lived there until mid-April. Contact me in DM for the gift link - unless you are already a subscriber of the Italian on-line newspaper #IlPost (@ilpost_bot), that I highly recommend if you speak Italian.

Can we have an option in #Python, something similar to JavaScript's "use strict", that makes looping on a dict illegal? I keep writing

for k, v in dct instead of dct.items().

I hope there will be a Python 4 one day, where the iterator of a dict will return key-value pairs instead of keys alone (yes, I know the porting would be a nightmare, but Sweden didn't regret switching from driving on the left-hand side of the road to the right in 1967).

L'articolo su Wikipedia non gliel'ho fatto io, bensì un ammiratore (ne aveva diversi). Io ho solo corretto qualche dettaglio.

Io devo ancora capire perché la maggior parte delle attività chiude per ferie ad agosto invece di chiudere, diciamo, da #ferroluglio a #ferragosto.

(Sì, ferroluglio me lo sono inventato – lo so che non è un granché, ma in questo contesto è comodo)

Ma è normale che mi sia ritrovato non iscritto al registro delle opposizioni, nonostante mi sia iscritto non tanto tempo fa (ma non ricordo quanto)? Iscrivendomi ora nuovamente ho letto qualcosa che dice che l'opposizione è a tempo illimitato. Ma lo è o non lo è?

A question for #conlang (constructed #language) experts: Has anyone proposed a conlang based on what we know of the Proto-Indo-European language, but with a simplified grammar?

pm imports math ⇒ you have all functions and constants of https://docs.python.org/3/library/math.html available without the math. prefix, including e and pi.

And don't forget the _ variable, that holds the latest result (e.g., the inverse of what you just calculated is simply 1/_)

Since I'm rather satisfied with this alias for a CLI calculator, I'll repost it:

alias pm='python3 -qic"from math import *; import sys; sys.ps1="] "; sys.ps2="… ""'

pm stands for "Python math"

N.B.: … is a single character (ellipsis)

Who am I to disagree with president #Biden? Nobody. But I do. "There is no equivalence – none – between #Israel and #Hamas". Wrong: both sides committed horrible crimes, for which their leaders can rightfully be held responsible.
