WebAssembly (often shortened to Wasm) is a standard that defines a binary format and a corresponding assembly-like text format for executables used by web pages.

[….]

WebAssembly code is intended to be run on a portable abstract structured stack machine,[27] which is designed to be faster to parse than JavaScript, as well as faster to execute,[21] and to enable very compact code representation.In March 2017, the WebAssembly Community Group reached consensus on the initial (MVP) binary format

We just finished implementing a dev ops deploy toolchain able to compile,deploy, rollback all in automatic way. The objection of the dev team is “it is slow to deploy”.

Yes, it is slower then manual copying file.

1. But it is AUTOMATIC
2. It provide a rollback procedure.
3. It is rock solid.
4. It works alone, at midnight. Mind it. It work alone.

We have tried the PlayStation Now 7-days trial (after pricing is 15€/Month, 100€/year) Pro:

1. Good Game Selection. Also PS3 and PS2 strong sellers are here, like Red Dead Redemption (1) and Bloodbone, Prey, etc 
2. Seamless experience: the streaming never take a slow down
3. Subscription has a 100€/year offer which is quite aggressive. We will see what Apple will be able to do.

1. Downloaded game saves are not synced with the streamed one, you need a PlayStation Plus account to get this. It is too bad for a 15€/monthly subscription, isn't it?
2. PS Now offer streaming on PC too. But they seems to have trouble with the email link they pass to you to use it (see below). The link is okey from the playstation shop site.
3. Some games like Horizon Zero Down, Red Dead Redemption2 are not there, a pity but understandable: Sony cannot destroy its own game market.

When I was young I was able to play with my Vic20/Commodore64. I learned to love programming with these small 8-bit real computers. I was between 11 and 12 years old, and just learning basic English, with only a data-casette to store my stuff.

Now my son is 9 years old, and I was unable to find something like the Commodore computers to teach it.

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.

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.

Sorvolando 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

1. First of all, we moved Gioorgi to a powerful server at the end of 2018, tuning it during the autumn.
2. An Apache Solr server was added to get better search results, with indexed stuff.
3. 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. 
4. 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.
5. Removing JetPack forced us to rethink things like:
   1. Twitter streaming become more important then the other socials.
   2. Related posts was re-organized via a more plastic plugin, getting better control over the content and the discovery process
   3. 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.

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.
