Note: This was created with Gemini. Scena di apertura: Sebastian e il Tram Misterioso (Ispirazione Steampunk/Adams) Il tintinnio del campanello del tram squarciรฒ la bruma del mattino zurighese. Non era la solita nebbia, no. Era la nebbia dell’autunno del 1783, densa, quasi solida. Sebastian, il tranviere dall’irriverente ciuffo color carota, strizzรฒ gli occhi contro il grigiore, cercando di scorgere i binari. I suoi quattordici anni si sentivano tutti in quei momenti, un ammasso di sogni impossibili e la paura tremenda di deragliare per un sasso fuori posto.

I’ve been in Ziurich for 10 years, so now I can apply for swiss passport (I heard once you do, you get a free gold lingot from a Nazi caveau).

Jokes apart, the top complexity here is to pass an exam in German (Swiss German oder Hoch Deutsch, your choice).

This article describes my steps and struggles. Luckily, I have super smart colleagues in Google who helped me. This is my trying to give back :)

I felel in love with MJ. Some tips: https://www.wired.it/article/come-usare-midjourney/ See my gallery in this website: https://ricc.rocks/en/gallery/midjourney/ See my MJ page: https://www.midjourney.com/app/users/6f8c6312-ed0d-479f-b236-efbbffbb9823/ What it’s good for amazing at merging/bending different concepts and giving you an artistic view of something you know. Example: a mermaid chair , or a non-existent Giraffe Triggerfish. great at styling things (style of Caravaggio, Pixar, …).

This article shows how you can easily inject a generic key/value into Google Cloud Monitoring and set up alerts on it. I use it to alert on disk space, and now also low battery!

This morning I was in London, and I forgot my charger at home. With plenty of time but ๐Ÿชซ little battery, I thought: hey! I need to have a way to predict when my battery is low! And I need to do it in a totally overkill way!

The Original article here: https://medium.com/google-cloud/setting-cloudbuild-with-pulumi-in-python-330e8b54b2cf TODO(7feb23): add this video as embedded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jhWVNN8P_M (created on 6feb23) A couple of weeks ago, I fell in love with Pulumi. it has everything I wanted from Terraform: easy to set up, easy config management, a nice UI for free, and most importantlyโ€ฆ language Support! Pulumi is the best invention after Buffalo Pizza and has only a problem.. no Ruby support :/ Anyway, Iโ€™m so in love with โฌฃ GCP (which happens to pay my salary, I got to admit), Cloud Build, Cloud Deploy, and in general CI/CD pipelines on Google Cloud that I wanted to give it a try.

Spaghetti Bolognese don't exist!

Spaghetti bolognese: Everyone knows them… except Italians. Right, read it again if you don’t believe me… in Italy we don’t prepare that kind of pasta. What the hell, you may be wondering… Italy is famous for spaghetti and bolognese sauce (that we call “ragout alla bolognese” or simply ragรผ, but we would never mix these two things in the same dish). Why oh why, you may as well think? I think the reason can be found in two ways.
