At Gioorgi.com we was never a SQL fan. In 2000 we thinked SQL was boring, mostly because sql algebra could be a bit boring. Then we found this book written by one of the father of SQL. Years ago Google and then Facebook popped out with new incredible ideas, for improved and super fast scalability, which eventually turned to the “NoSQL” mantra.
But NoSQL is a mature technology, or it is only a path traced by the Social company out of there? Let’s explore together…

On November 12, 2010 SearchBlox announced the availability of SearchBlox Search Software as a completely FREE product.
I took a look to SearchBlox on a complex project, and I suggest you to give it a try. It is a good solution for small sites, and it is powered by Lucene. Google Mini has a strong brand, but it cost a lot and it had a 2-year resubscription process: a very costly stuff.

Utilities like Telnet and remote control programs like Symantec's PC Anywhere let you execute programs on remote systems, but they can be a pain to set up and require that you install client software on the remote systems that you wish to access. PsExec is a light-weight telnet-replacement that lets you execute processes on other systems, complete with full interactivity for console applications, without having to manually install client software. PsExec's most powerful uses include launching interactive command-prompts on remote systems and remote-enabling tools like IpConfig that otherwise do not have the ability to show information about remote systems.

How many times have you read or written the same two or three lines of code that frequently seem to go together, and even though they operate on different objects, feel like the same thing? And how often these repetitions involve some sort of collections iteration or more generically manipulation? These repetitions in the code is something that developers eventually learn to filter out and ignore when reading code, once they figure out where the interesting parts are placed. But even if the developers get used to it, it slows them down. Code like that is clearly written for computers to execute, not for developers to read.
Integrate lambdaj in your software architect toolkit (italian link)lambdaj is designed to easily manipulate collections. Its features are intended to filter, convert, index and aggregate the items of a collection without explicitly iterate on it.

Old web site requires sometimes to show a big “Loading…” gif in the front of the page. It is not trivial to do it, especially if you have already plenty of jQuery forms developed, with complex form submission, and half the site in an ajax form.

After the success of Closure in Java we like to show you a good example in C# too.
C# has a very strong support for Lambda functions, because it needs to support the LINQ language constructs.
So defining a closure is quite easy. Best, it is possible to define a “delegate” , which is a typed function: the compiler will help you to avoid errors because will match the lambda function against the delegate.

API KEYs are sexy: if you have a web based business (like Google, Twitter, Facebook or Wordpress’Automattic) you should have a way to generate an API Key for web service integration.
Like Session keys, API keys should be sufficiently unpredictable to be psuedo-random. To be unpredictable, no user variables (or timestamps) are encoded into the key.

Disclaimer: Hi guys, I will not start a Religion wars between Emacs and Vim. For a copule of reason:
- I have been an Emacs fan for about ten years, then I get a depression because of emacs-lisp complicated interface and slow emacs evolution
- I have worked on pymacs a bit, so I am somewhat a Emacs contributor
- I am still searching a good general purpose editor. On my day by day job, eclispe is my food.
- a editor working on slow connection
- a fast startup editor
- some time to be masochistic. Some guys smoke, others use vim. It perfectlys fit in your auto-destruction instinct.
I was happy with vim for this reason:

About Diaspora, we read from Ars Technica (underline is our):
Diaspora emerged as a response to the privacy concerns raised by mainstream social networking services. The aim of Diaspora is to create an open source social network alternative with decentralized architecture, giving end users more control over their private information and how it is shared with other people. [...]
When the first Diaspora code was first published in September, independent reviewers found some serious technical defects, including a number of security weaknesses. […]
