Source on that? I can’t find anything and I’d be interested in knowing more, especially for the future prospects of the project


Same in Italy, tax report is actually not needed if you're a regular employee and don't have anything else to declare. If you do, each year you get a pre-filled form on which you only need to add your deductible expenses and/or additional income outside the regular employment.


I guess it depends on what affordable means to you. You can find quite a few Orient watches without date at really reasonable prices, a couple of Timex too. If you're willing to spend a bit more you can also get various no-date Hamilton.


Franzensfeste was chosen by fascists as well, according to the Italian Wikipedia page. The previous name was Mezzaselva all'Isarco/Mittewald am Eisack.

Italian people used to be the majority (~60% in the '60s) down to ~40% now, which is still a significant number.


How do you measure the quality of education? Knowledge, monetary or political wealth, happiness?


- Test -> stdlib + testify/assert + vektra/mockery

- Dependency injection -> manual DI passing values and objects down

- Routing framework -> gorilla/mux

- HTTP web frameworks -> stdlib + go-kit for the general architecture

We then have a pretty large internal library for all things shared


There's a (not so) fine difference between the rolled/trilled R [1] and the guttural/uvular R [2]. The former is indeed produced by vibrating the tongue

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guttural_R


I notice you don't link the Wikipedia page about the rolled R [1], probably because it contradicts you. There are many kinds of rhotic trills and the guttural R (aka uvular trill) is one of them.

Another fun trill is the bilabial one [2], like imitating a fart with your lips. It doesn't really qualify as a rolled R, though.

The normal (American) English term for this is "raspberry".


> guttural/uvular

That’s the stuff. Thanks for the vocab lesson. And look at that map. Most of northern and Central Europe is a guttural r.

You trilled R motherfuckers in French class ignored your poor teachers’ pained expressions for years, while the rest of us wanted to go up, pat them, and say it’s okay, we share your pain.

Apparently I have some unresolved hostilities toward some people who got A’s but had disastrous pronunciation.


Same in Italy, actually. Every POS accepts Bancomat[1], which is the standard debit circuit over here.

I actually think TS team is much closer to the community than Flow's. Just look at the number of open and closed Issues on GitHub.

To me, Flow feels like something they needed in Facebook and they happened to open source. Their main focus is still FB's internal use and the direction is set by it.

TypeScript, on the other hand, does not feel like this at all. They truly put the community first, or so I - and many others - feel like.


> Flow feels like something they needed in Facebook and they happened to open source

This is how most Facebook tools feel to me. It makes me afraid to use them. React is possibly an exception, but again -- too afraid to use it because Facebook's open-source offerings seemed to have only selfish goals in the past and often seem to be full of important bugs.


What welfare are you talking about? Italy has been a net payer [0] in EU contributions from since I could remember

[0] https://www.cbs.nl/en-gb/news/2016/50/netherlands-largest-ne...


The biggest welfare is being in the same political Union as better functioning economies. I shudder to think how expensive it would be for Italy to raise money on the international bond market if it wasn't for the ECB.


More than offset by the ability to control their own currency and interest rates. They could immediately print away their external debts, for example.
