speaking about defending ourselves: there's a huge gap between "willing to defend" and "actually be able to defend" ourselves

The only reason military should exist is to perform such life-saving, not life-ending, missions...

It'd be perfect if we can have a toggle to switch to metric system, like kilometers, meters, celsius for temperature, etc. I find it very hard to follow the numbers expressed in miles

New comment by musikele in "Discovery of fresco portraying Dionysian mysteries at Pompeii"

musikele — Fri, 07 Mar 2025 11:03:25 +0000

The director, Gabriel Zuchtriegel, wrote a book about Pompeii (I don't know if it was translated to English, since I read it in Italian), and it described why rich people decorated their homes this way. Of course these paintings served to rich homeowners to show off their power, but also to have some fun during dinners. For example, everybody in ancient Rome knew the mith of . So, when entering a room with a painting of such god on the wall, after a couple of glasses with their friends, they'd start arguing, "I understood why Jupiter did this and that..." or, sometimes, they painted the mith with something odd just to have fun. It was a conversation starter, a way to be ironic of life and with friends, and a way to enjoy their lives.

New comment by musikele in "To buy a Tesla Model 3, only to end up in hell"

musikele — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 09:36:55 +0000

Let's remove Musk from the equation, because you can like or (most probably) hate him, but I own a Tesla and I have the opposite experience. Everything worked out of the box. Just one piece of hardware started to fail (the charger plug making some noise) and they changed it in warranty.

First: has the author tried a tesla before buying one? I'd never buy a car without trying it. Because comparing it to a Clio just because the Clio worked, well, seems a bit off. a Clio is a car, a fully functional Tesla is a gian iPad with wheels. There's a huge difference.

Second: when you buy a car, do you ask yourself, how will I fix it in case anything goes wrong? Buying a car in a country where there's no service is a huge no-no.

Third: No doubt that a car with all these defects _must_ be changed, or fixed immediately at no cost of transportation, or offered a compensation to get it back. I think the owner should _also_ contact a lawyer and try to get a refund. I'd not accept this kind of treatment.

I think a "roadmap" should be also provided on how to learn this topic in a guided way. Also, some captions would be useful: what does it mean "model development"? Why "vector databases" ? What is "LLM Automation" ? What should I click first if I am a complete newbie ?

Email: michele AT nasti DOT dev

12 years of software development and I still love to write code! I consider myself a full stack engineer with a natural predisposition for frontend. In my last job adventures I've been working in adtech (I was also contriburtor for Prebid.JS), for Swiss and US companies. Javascript, NodeJS, Typescript and React currently are my main languages/frameworks, but I've also developed stuff with Python, Php/Laravel, and long time ago Java.

I wouldn't mind a journey in the mobile apps world, for example with React Native or going natively into iOS/Android, if you are willing to open the doors of such things to a curious developer.

I wrote an article on my blog on how to move photos from google photos to Synology, if you're the kind of guy that wants to host things on a NAS: https://michelenasti.com/from-google-photos-to-synology-phot... There's also a way to overcome the 500 photos limit (using google backup options).

New comment by musikele in "Ask HN: How did you stop drinking?"

musikele — Tue, 11 Oct 2022 10:32:42 +0000

Here are two considerations:

- Try to drink for the taste, not to became wasted. Try to sense the flavour of what you're drinking. I don't think that 12 cans of whatever you drank was so fantastic that you enjoyed all of them. I have plenty of bottles of wine and beers at home, but I rarely drink more than a glass. Also, when you start looking for the taste, you'll discover that good bottles are way more expensive and you want to enjoy drinking them.

- I've only quit smoking, so I can tell what worked for me. I read a book ("it's easy to stop smoking if you know how to do that"), that convinced me that the cigarettes were giving me nothing. We all have excuses to smoke, but in reality they're just excuses. We don't even like that, we only have to think our first cigarette to remind how bad it was. The book goes deep into this topic and actually convinces you that it's better to not smoke, but you must NEVER smoke a cigarette ever again, so that's what I did, and I am happily non-smoking since 15 years. I reccomend you to go this path if you don't want to drink, ever, again. But it doesn't seem the case because you want to continue drinking socially.
