Makefiles are widely used to build a lot of languages and projects, with C/C++ projects being the majority. Whenever you are developing or testing software, it’s highly probable that you will encounter them.This post will try to address some common errors in Makefiles, as well as good practices and cross-compiling support.
Take a look at: Danilo Spinella's site - Makefiles, Best Practices -
E’ diventato un fatto politico la memoria difensiva di Salvini, secondo cui la decisione sulla gestione della nave Diciotti fu presa in concerto con il governo.
Ci abbiamo provato anche noi pic.twitter.com/mAfPogqQtY
— Spinoza (@spinozait) 18 febbraio 2019Sorvolando sugli aspetti umoristici della vicenda, possiamo affermare che la gestione dell’immigrazione voluta dalla Lega è ampiamente condivisa anche dal Movimento 5 Stelle (M5S). E quindi il M5S abbraccia una politica decisamente filo-Leghista, e quindi di destra.

After some tweaks, we changed a bit of things on Gioorgi.com in Winter 2019
- First of all, we moved Gioorgi to a powerful server at the end of 2018, tuning it during the autumn.
- An Apache Solr server was added to get better search results, with indexed stuff.
- Quality We decided to reorganize the major theme, moving away from Magazine lite and trying Astra, which is higly customizable. We reorganized content to use only categories and menu, dropping the Series plugin we used for a long time. NEW Editing Policy Our article will be edited after a short time, to fix typo and adapt to comments and so on.
- We set up a monitoring system and discovered JetPack slow down a lot WordPress. So we decided to move away from it, replacing with some ad hoc plugin for related pages and so on. By the way the new monitoring system is powered by Apache Kafka, and it is our implementation backbone for internal analytics.
- Removing JetPack forced us to rethink things like:
- Twitter streaming become more important then the other socials.
- Related posts was re-organized via a more plastic plugin, getting better control over the content and the discovery process
- JetPack analytics was replaced with old evil Google Analytic

Il calcolo dell’algoritmo dell’anno bisestile non è banalissimo, perché ogni hanno non si accumulano solo 6 ore ma anche alcuni “minuti” e quindi dopo un po’ questa differenza si fasentire, se non se ne tiene conto…
Secondo il calendario giuliano, sono bisestili gli anni la cui numerazione è multipla di 4: l’anno giuliano medio dura quindi 365 giorni e 6 ore (la media di tre anni di 365 giorni e uno di 366). Questa durata non corrisponde esattamente a quella dell’anno solare medio, che si ricava dalle osservazioni astronomiche: quest’ultimo infatti è più corto di 11 minuti e 14 secondi. Di conseguenza, il calendario giuliano accumula un giorno di ritardo ogni circa 128 anni rispetto al trascorrere delle stagioni.
Buon 28 febbraio :)(da wikipedia)

Character encoding is a very bad beast when you write code, but UTF-8 will save us.
Belive me: You will love the Big Brother and the UTF-8.
Source: UTF-8 and Unicode Standards Also read this: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2003/10/08/the-absolute-minimum-every-software-developer-absolutely-positively-must-know-about-unicode-and-character-sets-no-excuses/Unicode Transformation Format 8-bit is a variable-width encoding that can represent every character in the Unicode character set. It was designed for backward compatibility with ASCII and to avoid the complications of endianness and byte order marks in UTF-16 and UTF-32.

I admit it. I suffered from an “algebra narcoleptic syndrome” during my relational database lessons at University (1996 circa).
Ok it is a fake. But it seems so real on these days.
I was unable to avoid sleeping. I learned to love SQL after some years and now I think SQL is the most powerful, direct and useful stuff you can learn.

At Dropbox, Kafka clusters are managed by the Jetstream team, whose primary responsibility is to provide high quality Kafka services. Understanding Kafka’s throughput limit in Dropbox infrastructure is crucial in making proper provisioning decision for different use cases, and this has been an important goal for the team. Recently, we created an automated testing platform to achieve this objective. In this post, we would like to share our method and findings.

isync: free IMAP and MailDir mailbox synchronizerisync is a command line application which synchronizes mailboxes; currently Maildir and IMAP4 mailboxes are supported. New messages, message deletions and flag changes can be propagated both ways. isync is suitable for use in IMAP-disconnected mode.Synchronization is based on unique message identifiers (UIDs), so no identification conflicts can occur (as opposed to some other mail synchronizers).Synchronization state is kept in one local text file per mailbox pair; multiple replicas of a mailbox can be maintained.isync is free software in the sense of the GNU GPL v2.

The department of defense, has published a nice document to “detect” agile bullshit. The document is called DIB_DETECTING_AGILE_BS_2018.10.05 and was published on October 2018.
We saved a copy on our site, because we think it is very very interesting…

Alfine mio figlio di otto anni mi ha fatto una domanda su Salvini. Sarà che è sempre in TV insieme a Di Maio, che non si parla d'altro o che il populismo è accessibile alle nuove generazioni.
In TV passano immagini di gente che muore in mare. Riconosco che l'immigrazione non gestita possa diventare un problema in futuro, ora non è così grave (perlomeno non dove vivo io). Per fare un esempio ho assunto 4 tate in otto anni, facendo una quarantina di colloqui e solo in un paio di casi c'erano delle canidate "italiane", ed in entrmabi i casi hanno avanzato proposte discutibili. C'è sicuramente una certa parte del paese (la mafia per esempio) che fa i soldi sull'emergenza continua che si attualizza nei centri di asilo, c'è il racket degli accattoni davanti ad ogni bar che sicuramente sfrutta i poveracci senza lavoro, ecc.

I am studying Apache Kafka (a "distributed streaming platform") and I stumbled upon this conclusion: the "disk read fear" a lot of projects have in the past, is a fake.

A lot of distributed database started tutorial with the statement "disk read are slow, write are fast" which is true to some extent, and accounted for de-normalizing data and memory caches.

Nel 1492 Colobo scoprì l'America scommettendo sul fatto che la terra fosse tonda. In realtà c'erano parecchie prove indirette, ma nessuno lo aveva ancora dimostrato, e soprattutto i rischi di andare per mare erano altissimi. Ora girano per internet teorie complottiste che
