Speriamo che questa manovra non sia così pessima come appare…ho seguito personalmente la conferenza stampa di venerdì sera, e sono qui a darvi le mie impressioni, dopo doverose riflessioni e la lettura dei maggiori quotidiani italiani.Leggiamo su Repubblica, che la manovra in atto prevede 45 miliardi aggiuntivi in due anni.

Per fortuna la memoria storica di Wikipedia e di Repubblica (http://www.repubblica.it/online/fatti/rifondazione/prodi/prodi.html) ci ricordano che nel 1996 fu varata una finanziaria di 62.500 miliardi di lire, cioé circa 31 miliardi di euro al cambio fisso. Quella manovra fu varata dal governo prodi per “entrare in Europa” e fu considerata un vero salasso; tale “contributo straordinario” non fu completamente restituito due anni più tardi.
Ora si parla di un “addon” di 45 miliardi in due euro, e da più parti si dice che sia la manovra più grande della Repubblica.

Archimedes (287 BC) said “give me a place to stand and I will move the earth”.
Apple, after decades of lack of decent garbage collection to Objective-C, seems to say “I will give an ARC to exit to the dark hand-made memory allocation”.
Let’see how.

Because of the success of my article on java closure, I have decided to write another article on functional programming.
In the last year functional programming is waving back to us, for a lot of reason. Let’s summarize the facts:
Functional programming is based on the core concept of pure function. The main advantages of functional programming is the lack of side-effects, at least at the syntax-level of the language.

In the past week I learned Flask, a very young and promising python framework. I have already learned Django, Cherrypy, Web2Py and TurboGears.
Anyway, if you are planning a medium sized project, I like to suggest you Flask, because of these feature:

On June 20, 2011, Dropbox had a serious security bug. It was possible to login to an account with “a wrong password”. Like to say Dropbox account system was naked, because “a small number of users[…] could have logged into an account without the correct password”!

I Fatti
Pisapia, il candidato di sinistra (e non tanto di centro 
ha vinto a Milano con il 55,1% delle preferenze.
A Napoli, è stata premiata una coalizione vicina a quella uscente ma distinta, e De Magistris con oltre il 65% delle preferenze avrà parecchia liberta di manovra poiché potrà contare su una maggioranza solida, composta da persone fedeli al suo partito.
Pisapia è stato scelto durante le primarie del centro sinistra, ed ha battuto il candidato moderato Boeri.
L’Italia dei Valori, di cui fa parte De Magistris, non ha mai risparmiato a Berlusconi una critica feroce e circostanziata.

Inversion of Control (IoC) is a very good idea.
But as the clever Joel Spolsky noted, sometimes you need to be a super-natural hero to use it:
… I try not to be judgemental (HAHA!), but I think that people who use IoC containers are (A) very smart and (B) lacking in empathy for people who aren't as smart as they are. Everything makes perfect sense to them, so they have trouble understanding that many ordinary programmers will find the concepts confusing. It's the curse of knowledge. The people who understand IoC containers have trouble believing that there are people who don't understand it. …
I have trouble using Spring in at least two projects. On the third, it was a disaster, because a single software-architect-guy keeps passing around the Spring context factory as method parameter, getting beans from it!
