    It is already history, and you can read my review there.

    But if you like to try it yourself, you can order the C/64 Replica below. PS: if you wait some time, I predict it will ha a sale price of 40% of more, in a couple of months…versus the current 104€ retail price.

    Git History Squash for fun and profit

    Suppose you are developing a boring Jenkins pipline (like Jenkinsfile-s) with no time at all.

    You are forced to commit and then run the jenkins pipeline. Jenkins download the code from your LOCAL repository.

    To avoid commit& push roundtrip you are using the simple git daemon command to expose your local repository to jenkins. So jenkins see every commit you has just done.

    And you end up doing a lot of commits, full of trial and errors: you would like to “squash” them before pushing your work to your remote repository, to avoid co-worker laugh your wasted time(!)

    Git can do that, but I have an hard time to find the easier way of doing it, even reading git books!

    So let me explain to you:

  • Avoid Kafka if unsure (think twice series)

    Avoid Kafka if unsure (think twice series)

    Some co-workers started using Apache Kafka con a bunch of our Customers.

    Apache Kafka is a community distributed event streaming platform capable of handling trillions of events a day. Initially conceived as a messaging queue, Kafka is based on an abstraction of a distributed commit log[*].
    To get this goal, Apache Kafka needs a complex servers setup, even more complex if you want the certification for the producing company (Confluent).  Now, if you are planning to use Kafka like a simple JavaMessaeSystem (JMS) implementation, think twice before going on this route.

    PostgreSQL 12 offers a fair (and open source) partition implementation, whereas if money are not a problem, Oracle 12c can happy scale on billions of record before running into troubles (and ExaData can scale even more).

    PostgreSQL and Oracle offer optimizations for partitioned data, called “Partition Pruning” in PostreSQL teminology:

    With partition pruning enabled, the planner will examine the definition of each partition and prove that the partition need not be scanned because it could not contain any rows meeting the query's WHERE clause. When the planner can prove this, it excludes (prunes) the partition from the query plan.
    This feature is quite brand new (popped in PostreSQL 11) but it is essential to a successful partition strategy. Before these feature, partitioning was a black magic art. Now it is simpler to manage.

    My company gave me access to a bunch of Skillport course. Courses was on Kafka and Docker and was rather old (2015). But the very bad thing was the absolute shabby approach of the course. For instance to explain the use of Docker Label metadata (1 concept+ 1 command line example) Skillport proposed a 23 minute-video splitted in 5 section. We are talking about a two-line concept. It is impossible to study fast in such way.

  • BuonGioorgi. Vero che HP Prime costi meno di DM42, ma l'RPN su Prime non è un gran che. Inoltre, la compatibilità con HP42s ed HP41c dove la mettiamo ? Su DM42(N) gira praticamente tutto. E per ultimo: devo spendere più di 200€ sulla baia per un HPxxx vecchio di anni, e che nessuno eventualmente riparerà, in caso si rompesse ? Meglio mettersi una mano sul cuore ed una sul portafogli... Disclaimer: non prendo soldi da SwissMicros :-)

  • Buongiorno Giorgi. Post chiarissimo e ben scritto. Unica inesattezza: il TCNTn indica il valore attuale del conteggio, che di default parte da 0 ma che tu, nell'esempio modifichi per avere il delay di 1 secondo. Da come hai scritto tu ("Questo registro indica il valore al quale far scattare il timer. Il timer contera' a partire da zero fino....") in questo registro scriverei 15625 per farlo scattare ogni secondo.
