Well, today is the day. I'm finally "sorta happy enough to pull the trigger" on publishing the book I've been working on for a very long time. It's a technical history book: by a techie, for techies (although I think that between all the code samples, there is plenty of meat for "tech-adjacent" and "tech-interested" people). It tells the story of the Lisp programming language, invented by a genius called John McCarthy in 1958 and today still going strong (to the extent that many people see it as the most powerful programming language in existence).
And this is a time for shameless self promotion, even if you don't plan on buying the book, please repost :-). Self-publishing is self-marketing, so there we go.
If you do buy and read it, please let me know how you liked it!

@cdegroot A great angle for telling the history of Lisp.
Is the ebook DRM-free?

MUST listen: #JeremyCorbyn on #Palantir aiming to get #NHS' gold: patients' health data.
We Italians run the same risk after #Palantir signed a secretive contract with the most prestigious Italian hospital: the Pope hospital, #PoliclinicoGemelli

ora ve ne racconto un'altra:
ricordate che vi abbiamo ricostruito come Commissione EU stia trattando accesso a tutti i database di polizia a #ICE, #DHS e governo USA?
La polizia rifiuta rispondere
Il ministero Interni idem
EU rifiuta documenti

This is an American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis). I photographed this particular bird several years ago.
Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

Floating cities were a golden age trope. Now architects are quietly prototyping real floating homes to dodge floods and sea level rise. Cozy climate fiction or the prequel to Waterworld? https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20220202-floating-homes-the-benefits-of-living-on-water #climatefiction #scifi #architecture
