At first, I didn't really understand all the buzz about #AdventOfCode but then I decided to use it as an excuse to (finally?) explore languages I didn't try yet, and thus I decided to do each day in a new language.
Day 1 I did in #Awk, a simple scripting language which is very nice at managing text streams.
Day 2 was #JavaScript and day 3 #Java, this is definitely my comfort zone.
Day 3 was #Python, a language whose syntax I utterly dislike, but it was quite easy to solve.
For day 4 I tried #RustLang, this was so difficult (so much new stuff to learn) but I'm happy enough with the result! (or at least, it looks nice enough to me, not knowing much about the language)
For day 5 I finally used #Scala, a functional language I would like to use and love… but my result is probably THE WORST I did on this adventure so far… I really dislike all those "list updates" (I tried with ArraySeq and other approaches, but to no avail), and I have the feeling that a proper Scala solution could be written in half the lines or even less.
Day 6 I did in #GoLang and while I don't realyl dig the syntax, it was easy enough to write.
… but the one I'm most proud of is day 7 in #LISP, which took an amount of time I'm not proud of (most of today's free hours with the constant feeling that "20 more minutes and I'm done"), but I'm quite happy with the result!

Loading C64 game directly from glow-in-the-dark vinyl record. The noise is binary audio, computer processes the data fed from the vinyl and the game is loading in real-time. We also created an online scoreboard. Shit can’t get any cooler 🔥Twitter
The infinite nature of Penrose tilings never fails to blow my mind a little bit more, each and every time.
This tiling generator (as advertised in the video) is such a beauty.

Dopo la lettura dell'articolo di Doc Manhattan sul nuovo adattamento di #Evangelion curato da Cannarsi io e Mauro e Mattia non potevamo esimerci dal produrre quest'immagine.
(English brief: Evangelion was re-dubbed in Italian, and it's so bad)
We need to choose either #security or #surveillance.
Fuck surveillance.
Quoting a recent post from Bruce Schneier:
Either everyone gets to spy, or no one gets to spy. And I believe we must choose security over surveillance, and implement a defense-dominant strategy.

Microsoft announces it will shut down ebook program and confiscate its customers' libraries. Just another reminder that DRM is hostile towards users.
Do you hate when Windows® happily decides the position of your windows isn't so important and scrambles them all around (e.g. after a resolution change, launching a full screen game, or attaching an extra monitor)?
Now you can use this, a public domain software I found on GitHub and improved to fix Win10 support some time ago.
