matteuan··on Food taste 'not protected by copyright' rules EU court
Centuries of culinary arts disagree with your statement. Craftsmanship and creativity are required to create new dishes in the same degree to other other arts. Imo we should use common sense to distinguish between basic preparations and elaborate foods.
matteuan··on Ubuntu 18.10 Cosmic Cuttlefish Released
my father (61 yo) uses xubuntu daily. I installed it for him years ago instead of Windows 7 and he loves it. He doesn't need to pay for an antivirus anymore and from his prospective it's much faster.

So wait a sec, do you open the door to anyone without checking who is it?
matteuan··on Ryanair strike hits 55,000 customers across Europe
I agree that EasyJet is overall better. However, they're very strict with the hand luggage rules and they have the possibility of overbooking.

matteuan··on Should I Learn Java in 2018
you can use maven with Scala without too many headaches. "spaghetti monster that Scala can sometimes be" -> I'd like too see an example of a Java snippet that in Scala you can express only with a higher degree of spaghettosity.
matteuan··on Should I Learn Java in 2018
if you learn Scala, you'll learn also Java as side effect
matteuan··on Zuckerberg didn’t make any friends in Europe today
Having the great majority of the customers IS a monopoly. And also trying to buy the rest is (e.g. instagram, whatsapp).
matteuan··on Populists win the italian elections
For example, those who don't promise universal basic income and at the same time to lower the taxes in the country with second highest public debt in Europe.
matteuan··on Populists win the italian elections
they are not left-wing. They lack of a common precise set of ideas for that. Some of them are racists and anti-immigration, some are pro-Putin, some are extreme conspiracy theorists. And most of them are not interested in anything more than seeing the old politicians burn in their own shit.

Neo4j is not necessarily more performant, especially for a particular use case like this.

matteuan··on How BuzzFeed’s Tasty Conquered Online Food
It's not a problem, but if you fetch fresh veggies and then you add a ton of tasty cheese, you will miss all the delicate flavour of the vegetables. P.S. be careful, I'm italian :)
matteuan··on How BuzzFeed’s Tasty Conquered Online Food
Exactly, what's the point of cooking anything more if it will taste of mozzarella and parmesan anyway?
matteuan··on How BuzzFeed’s Tasty Conquered Online Food
Tasty is evil. Usually, their receipts waste half of the ingredients by making you overcooking them, or you will cover taste because they want to mix too many things together. They have very good marketers, now they should hire a proper cook.

matteuan··on Europe mostly ends mobile roaming fees from today
No Symbiote, his assumption is correct. You will pay 2x for calling french numbers, but still x for calling italian numbers. I also tried these days (my operator activated this regulation last week). I went to Italy with the german card and I could call german numbers for free(that's in my contract) but I was spending more to call italian ones (2 cent btw).
matteuan··on Europe mostly ends mobile roaming fees from today
In that case you will call cheap only within the countries you listed. No roaming fees doesn't mean that calling between different countries will be cheaper.
matteuan··on Europe mostly ends mobile roaming fees from today
Some years ago happened a similar thing with SMS. For example within Italy they costed 15 cents, but between countries 13cents because of the EU regulation.
