Finding the good one: mithril

I have just read this insightful statement on this blog article about congitive load in Javascript
jQuery is undoubtedly useful when dealing with browser quirks, but once an application grows over a few thousand lines of code, unstructured jQuery code simply becomes too difficult to maintain, and you start needing the discipline of a framework to organize code. But when you're at tens of thousands of lines of code, you start to run out of entity types to CRUD, and your application growth starts to build on top of existing concepts. This is when you need the mental shift from being a library consumer to being a reusable component author,
This clever guy is the creator of Mithril, a very small, well crafted javascript library a friend of mine pointed to (via github…):

L’Atari2600 è stata la prima console giochi casalinga, ed è stata commercializzata nel 1977. Ha resistito al collasso del mercato dei videogiochi del 83-84 ed è rimasta in produzione fino al 1992.

Tonight I stubled upon PropEr, a Property based testing tool for Erlang. It seems a very smart idea: instead of writing a single unit test, you write a set of properties your code must satisfy.
From the site:
A property-based testing tool, when supplied with this information, should randomly produce progressively more complex valid inputs, then apply those inputs to the program while monitoring its execution, to ensure that it behaves according to its specification, as outlined in the supplied properties.
QuickCheck is the father of PropEr: give a try to thw wikipedia page to see if your language is supported and start a new way of doing…Test Driven Developement!

Do you have cygwin base install right? So no dos2unix…you can convert a windows file to unix format with a small tr command like
tr -d '\\
15\\32' < winfile.txt > unixfile.txtI prefer the awk way of life:
[bash] awk ‘{ sub("\r$", ""); print }’ winfile.txt > unixfile.txt awk ‘sub("$", "\r")’ unixfile.txt > winfile.txt [/bash]

“Smart: inchiesta sulle reti” di Frédéric Martel, è un libro uscito da poco che mi sento di consigliare.
"Internet non appiattisce affatto il mondo. Semmai è il mondo a nutrire la Rete di complessità, diversità, ricchezza, tanto che sarebbe opportuno parlare ormai di reti, al plurale. "

!Questo articolo esce in contemporanea con il re:Invent event di Amazon!
Su queste pagine siamo stati abbastanza scettici sul cloud anni fa. Il costo del cloud nel frattempo si è abbassato, i servizi “turnkey” sono diventati più numerosi e la concorrenza ha migliorato le cose. Il PaaS ed il cloud sono quindi entrati nella piena maturità.

Expo 2015 will close at the end of October. Because I enjoied it a lot, I’d like to give you some advice on Expo, Milan and Italy.

First of all, buy ticket on line and grab a map once in. The Mobile application suck a bit, so I preferred a paper map (I am too much analogic?).

Estate. Io e mio figlio scendiamo dall'appartemnto in affitto al mare. A piano terra, davanti al pianerottolo prima di uscire c'è un signore sui cinquant'anni in calzoncini corti, calzetti, una borsa aperta per terra, una bottiglia d'acqua per terra.
Mio figlio si avvicina e si presenta:

Okey, you know Oracle. A very good database, a very old database, a very solid rock. Not famous for its error messages. I have already stumbled upon a misleading error on the old rock.
This error anyway is incredible. If you try to push a very long text in a varchar2, you can end up with a

La pediatra ci guarda e poi con un tono di voce comprensivo dice
-Sì il periodo dei terrible two dura finoai sei anni
-Mi scusi non ho sentito può ripetere?

Ok, niente panico: ci sono qua io, care e cari ex-single, ora genitori in carriera.

Wellcome in 2002 subversion users!
Some very old and stable customers has just discovered Subversion. Bad luck: a lot of cool open source software are on git already!

This small guide will help you to increase the security of your raspberry and transform it in a 24x7 running server.
Security in place
Here a small check list with external references:
- Change pi password.
- Disable SSH Password Authentication and Root Login. Root login should be already disabled on recent distributions.
- Consider installing remote logging. Siemless is a cloud based service which will load all you logs via a vpn, and provide a raspberry-pi guide too.
- Configure a firewall
For ease of use, I suggest putting in place webmin:

After my two children grow a little, I have some spare time to play with RaspberryPi. I have bought a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, a very neat and compact machine with 1GB of RAM, and a quad-core ARM chip on it.
I was looking for an easy-to-carry unix box, and I was wrong: raspberry pi can be a lot more than that.
