Ci sono una nuova generazione di “nullasapienti”, persone che con una inutile laurea (tipicamente in legge) diventano giornalisti dilettanti, seguono i trend della “blogosfera” e leggono magari qualche bel libro di comunicazione.
Il risultato è che pubblicano video che non sono scontati, non sono banali ma non sono neppure perle di saggezza. Sono ovvi. La cosa diventa meno bella se mettendoci la loro faccia, vogliono pure dei soldi da voi.

Notizia di questi giorni, Londra non rinnova la licenza a Uber. Uber è una società fantastica. Ha creato un business che non esisteva, con un’idea semplice e poi si è guadagnata una pessima reputazione, è stata accusata di sessismo (con prove osì pesanti da trascinare nel ridicolo il su HR), di scorrettezza (con modifiche al software per ingannare i poliziotti) e pure qualche brutto video in cui l’ex-CEO insultava i suoi dipendenti-freelance (geniale!).

Figlio:Papà ma la tua pancia tornerà mai piatta come quella dello zio Luca? Papà:Forse, però lo zio Luca ha dieci anni in meno ed è alto un metro e novanta... Figlio:(con la voce preocupata) Ma allora tu morirai PRIMA?
Ora figlio mio quando avrai l’età della Ragione, mi potrai chiedere come mai le votazioni on line dei cinque stelle non vanno mai bene (“Come mai papà? Capisco quando tu eri piccolo e c’era solo il C/64”…)…e io che rispondo? Scrivo un appunto e mi documento!

Arduino is a great hardware for a lot of reason: easy to use, difficulto to break, it is a very solid 5-Volt board.
But it a way too much and it has a very limited amount of RAM. So I started exploring other more “different” solutions. I need an economy chip with some RAM on it. After some research, I stumpled upon a lot of so-called Arduino alternative…

Vjdbc is a remote access for JDBC-Datasources developed more then ten years ago (last news are from 2007, with last comit from 2013.
The project was migrated to Maven 3, but the code base is very old.
I decided to give it a try, spin a github repository and started working on it, because you know, is nice to have a database driver proxy-logger :)

Sometimes you need to remove nasty duplicate on a table, based on a subset of the column. On every big database there is something called “rowid” which can be used to indentify a column in a unique way. On PostgreSQL is called ctid, as we shall see:

A small, relaxing news was published some days ago:
It’s been 3 months since I first wrote about our efforts to scale Git to extremely large projects and teams with an effort we called “Git Virtual File System”. [...]
Today, I want to share our results. In addition, we’re announcing the next steps in our GVFS journey for customers, including expanded open sourcing to start taking contributions and improving how it works for us at Microsoft, as well as for partners and customers.

Scenario: Andando a scuola tuo figlio non vuole capire che deve mettersi 0,5ml di collirio nell’occhio arrossato, né accetta il fatto che tu glielo abbia messo di forza mentre stavi uscendo di casa, nel tentativo di scongiurare una congiuntivite estiva, non arrivare tardi al lavoro, e trattenerti da dargli una sculacciata.

Some “new” shiny IDE feature smart multi line editing, for instance for easily copy-past a block of code and then modifying it “live”. Sublime text has some feature like this…. and Emacs?
Emacs has a package for it called…Multiple cursors!
This video on “EmacsRocks” shows you some powerful use

In Excel you can easily fill in a column with a list of values. Some times also in Emacs you my need to write down a bunch of similar code. The dotimes function with the “elsp eval” M-x : (Esc + : on windooze) will solve your trouble easily. Try out this code on scratch buffer:

In Italian language we have accent words like àèéìòù
They are quite important because for instance “is” is spelled
è
whereas “and” is spelled
e
Accent are bad guys even today: if you copy them from MS-Word inside an Oracle sql script you can end up with different UTF-8 values. Also the accent are likely to be destroyed if you past them in your html page without using the correct html entity (i.e. è )

A new version of an Arduino Realtime OS is on the go:
https://github.com/greiman/ChNil
I have used with profit and fun NilRTOS, and I strongly suggest to you this new variant.
A preemptive multi tasking RTOS in a 2KB 1-MIPS, 8 bit microcontroller remember be the ugly time when a MS-Windows 3.x with 1 MB of RAM was an inferior operative system no-preemptive at all, but with nice software like Excel and Access

La mia esperienza nell’open source
Jan 15, 2017 · 4 min read ·
Nel 2011, per studiare node js creai un progetto chiamato OrgModeParser.
Org Mode è un package per l’editor Emacs, ed è pensato per tenere note strutturate, pianificare progetti con una schedulazione, mantenere una lista di cose da fare e generare poi documenti word o html da tali file in modo piuttosto efficace.
