    The End of the Apple Magic?

    I have just read what Apple shown at the WWDC 2016.

    In the 1985 Windows 1.0 was born. In a snap, the IBM compatible system evolved, and the competitive advantage of the Macintosh dried up and disappeared.

    IBM PC was cheaper and way more open.

    Like in the 1985, now in the 2016 the iPhone revolution has come to an end. After the Retina Display introduction, no real new feature was introduced. The apple Watch was beaten by competition.

    Two years passed with no true innovation (i.e. Apple Watch is not a revolution).

    The last MusicApp removed the beautiful cover navigation, and try to sell you the apple music rent service all the time, instead of let me play the music I have already bought.

    If the WWDC2016 breaking news is a new file system, it is a very poor gift. I am writing this note on a Windows 10 PC. It is not a shining operating system it freeze a bit and has still a very ugly backup engine, but MacOSX is not the “most advanced operating system” anymore, like it used be in 2000.

    MacOSX is the oldest one nowadays.

    Historically Apple system are very closed. The reason is simple: when you go to your shareholders and ask for money, you can show you have a competitive advantage, a strong set of feature no one can take apart from you. But Apple lost this war in 1985, when the high pricey Macs cannot compete with open IBMs clones.

    To be fair, IBM could open to clone market because its business was on high-end server, and Microsoft alliance will help to sell more IBM PCs.

    Arduino EggBoxLamp

    Programmare Arduino è molto divertente, ed in questo articolo voglio mostrare come creare una semplicissima lampada luminosa. Questo esempio sarà anche il pretesto per mostrare differenti implementazioni software dello stesso progetto (in prossimi post)

    Questo progetto è volutamente molto semplice, e non si serve di nessun sensore.

    Trovate il codice su github:

    Debian perfect work environment

    Working in a big company, my work laptop came with MS-Windows7 Enterprise installed. But as you imagine, Unix is my preferred desktop environment. So let’s how to configure a perfect Debian Linux for a old wolf consultant like me. You will be able to install commercial software mubmo jumbo like Oracle Express and IBM Websphere in a snap, and have a 64 rock solid system, easy to bring in a USB stick if you like.

    ErZauker Revenge!

    After a bunch of time, I take back my Erlang Hammer from the sand of time.

    The result is ErZauker v0.0.2 the first pure-Erlang implementation of a code indexer.

    Er Zauker is a tiny but speedy search engine tailoring code searches. Zauker is backed by REDIS, the fastest RAM-based NoSQL engine you have never seen.

    Spring Testing Survival guide

    If you have an application with thousand of beans, you must do unit testing but…Spring testing is boring, belive me. A very complex Spring application usually have a lot of dependency: I had to manage over 3000 beans definitions in a production project right now. Sometimes you want only to test a bit of it, and setting up a complete Spring Context will drive you crazy. To avoid losing mind, my suggestion is to …cheat. Let’see how.

    Usare la memoria non inizializzata per divertimento e profitto

    Ciao a tutti, è venerdì! Se avete due minuti di tempo, volevo indicarvi un articolo su un algoritmo non banale, molto ben descritto qui:

    http://research.swtch.com/sparse

    This is the story of a clever trick that’s been around for at least 35 years, in which array values can be left uninitialized and then read during normal operations, yet the code behaves correctly no matter what garbage is sitting in the array.

    SQL Server Backup & Restore

    E’ facile fare un backup con sql server: Basta selezionare tasto destro Tasks>>Backup su un db. Ma come fare il restore?… Ecco un semplice script che chiarisce la cosa (non sempre lampante dallo wizard di restore….): [sql] – Usare il seguente comando per recuperare i parametri sorgente da usare nella MOVE – Nel nostro caso ssaranno MY_BACKUP e MY_BACKUP_log RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = N’C:\TEMP\MY_BACKUP\Backup.bak’ ;
