Some co-workers started using Apache Kafka con a bunch of our Customers.
Apache Kafka is a community distributed event streaming platform capable of handling trillions of events a day. Initially conceived as a messaging queue, Kafka is based on an abstraction of a distributed commit log[*].
To get this goal, Apache Kafka needs a complex servers setup, even more complex if you want the certification for the producing company (Confluent). Now, if you are planning to use Kafka like a simple JavaMessaeSystem (JMS) implementation, think twice before going on this route.PostgreSQL 12 offers a fair (and open source) partition implementation, whereas if money are not a problem, Oracle 12c can happy scale on billions of record before running into troubles (and ExaData can scale even more).
PostgreSQL and Oracle offer optimizations for partitioned data, called “Partition Pruning” in PostreSQL teminology:
With partition pruning enabled, the planner will examine the definition of each partition and prove that the partition need not be scanned because it could not contain any rows meeting the query's WHERE clause. When the planner can prove this, it excludes (prunes) the partition from the query plan.
This feature is quite brand new (popped in PostreSQL 11) but it is essential to a successful partition strategy. Before these feature, partitioning was a black magic art. Now it is simpler to manage.

For instance to explain the use of Docker Label metadata (1 concept+ 1 command line example) Skillport proposed a 23 minute-video splitted in 5 section. We are talking about a two-line concept. It is impossible to study fast in such way.

Read MoreTempo fa ho citato il progetto Pyc64, un C/64 “diversamente emulato”. Esiste un progetto molto più ambizioso che sta andando in pressione, si chiama Commander X 16, ed è partito da David Murray e da altre tre persone.
Il desiderio di David era quello di creare un computer a 8bit simile al C/64 ma un po’ più comodo da usare: per esempio con 80 colonne, ma non con troppa potenza di calcolo, in modo da non snaturare la sua natura “retrò”.
Anche io avevo un desiderio simile ed ero approdato al Pyc64 che univa il meglio del python ad una emulazione degli sprite e ad un minimo di possibilità di scrivere codice in linguaggio macchina. Ma ovviamente era tutto fatto via software, non c’era una macchina reale, ed inoltre aveva parecchi limiti.
