A chance discovery on eBay has surfaced some of Yamaha's original technical documentation for the DX7 synthesiser.

A few weeks ago, Giulia turned eighteen. As a birthday gift, she asked for a skiing weekend with me. Our family’s precious little thing has traditionally been spending the Christmas week skiing in the Alps. We haven’t gone as much as we’d like in recent years, so I was pleasantly surprised and thrilled that she wanted to celebrate adulthood at our special place with her dad. We left home Friday at five in the morning. At ten, we were ..



Authorization? How hard can it be? I am pretty sure that others have already solved it. We are not the first ones doing microservices. It should be easy to integrate what's already out there.


The javax.validation package is widely used in our industry. And I don’t like it. I believe using bean validation is an anti-pattern. It hides business relevant constraints, it leaves the choice when a validation happens to other framework code, and I even saw cases where developers expected that the validation “just had to take place”, but it never happened. Of course, there was also no test for it. And speaking about tests - testing these..

In the previous post in this series on Gherkin , I showed the tools that Gherkin Features provide for requirements tracking, and mentioned ambitious goals for the Behaviour-driven Development (BDD) movement. In this article, I want to expand on these BDD ideals, show Gherkin Scenarios, and explain how the dream of traceability led to Cucumber, a tool for automating acceptance test execution, tracing them back to Gherkin Scenarios. We’ll se..

Thanks for this insightful article. Precise and easy to understand. Please post more useful articles. I have always shied away from video marketing, I’m not particular great when being recorded – always a lot of ‘erms’ however this seems to be the way most platforms are turning. Though my personal opinion is that most difficult part to keep is the consistency. On my side, I guess I will start by creating huge attention from this. ..

The last time I contributed to this blog was exactly 7 months ago. There is a reason it has been so long: I changed jobs.

Starting from v8.0.27, the MySQL daemon shows its thread names at the OS level too, for better troubleshooting.

This enables utilities that display thread names, such as debuggers and the Unix ps command, to display distinct mysqld th..

In the previous post in this series, I showed how my scripts xb.sql and xbi.sql ( eXplain Better and eXplain Better, by sqlId ) help you see Oracle execution plan details in a more complete way. Here are the features that I currently plan to cover: More detailed access/filter predicate info next to plan tree data ( Part 1 ) More intelligent row-source level execution statistics presentation (Part 2, this post) Calculate Optimize..

A spellbinding & breathtaking evening, with a couple of surprising jewels, in a night full of riches. Just got back from seeing Nick Cave and Warren Ellis in Vancouver. What a joy and a privilege! I’ve missed live music so much - what an incredible night! This is a video from that night in Vancouver, of their cover of Cosmic Dancer, which was a fantastic surprise for me. That video was taken by someone standing just in front of me! ....
