Stack Overflow è la risorsa per programmatori più famosa e apprezzata della Rete. Purtroppo domande e risposte pubblicate sul sito si succedono a un ritmo tale che è impossibile seguire gli aggiornamenti in tempo reale. Per questo motivo la gran parte degli utenti (sottoscritto incluso!) ricorre a Stack Overflow solo al momento del bisogno, quando è necessario trovare in fretta la soluzione a un problema critico. E’ un peccato perchè Stac..

We are losing our attention span. [ADHD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_deficit_hyperactivity_disorder)\-like symptoms seem to sweeping the world. * We want our food fast * We want all service to be fast * We want our websites to load fast. * We need to do something with every minute in our day. * We do not like to wait for anything more than a few seconds. * We don't read anything longer than a sentance * We leave when ther..

To those who were there, this is classic stuff, to the rest of the world it will be meaningless even if I try and explain so I won’t. (And I wasn’t even there.) The old Uboot has been replaced by a new Uboot today, and what better way to celebrate the old uboot than the re-release of the official language guide. The original Wörterbuch mysteriously went offline, but I knew I had to somehow find it. It couldn’t die. It had to be save....

The Hobbyist Business Model Definition: A business that grows out of a hobby or passion that did not start out with a commercial intent. Examples: xkcd “The comic began in September 2005 when Munroe decided to scan doodles from his school notebooks and put them on his webpage. Eventually the comic was changed into a stand-alone website, where Munroe started selling T-shirts based on the comic. He currently "works on the comic....

I went to the Hula Bula bar with some friends this past Saturday, one of which was Baz with his HTC 7 Mozart. At one point in the night Baz took the following photo on his phone: [caption id=“attachment_26685” align=“aligncenter” width=“224” caption=“The original photo taken with Baz’s HTC 7 Mozart”] [/caption]

While adding new templates to my website system N.nu (see all templates here) I always have to correct mistakes in the CSS. I normally add templates from Wordpress.org or popular CSS templates sites so I assume that the creators are experienced professionals. This article is based on the experience after correcting over 100 popular CSS [...]

Since I sold off all of my laptops except my Macbook and my Asus EEE (which C’s sister is currently borrowing), I haven’t played games as much as I used to. At one point I had my MacBook Pro, a Vostro 1500, an XPS, and and two Asus EEE models. The Vostro and XPS could at that time run pretty much whatever I threw at them, even if not on the highest settings, and therefore PC games were easily accessible and playable.

Refactoring” is the practice of “improving the design of existing code without changing its behavior”. It’s an essential part of software maintenance. Done well, refactoring will make sure your code base is easy to maintain. Done poorly, refactoring will lead you into a dangerous swamp where you’ll be stuck forever. Good: In order to really get the benefit from refactoring, I think we have to do it all the time. I resolve to always leave a ..

As I presented at UKNOF 18, I have now written an Internet-Draft to address the requirements of Network Operators for how BGP should handle errors in UPDATE messages. The draft can be found on the IETF site , and I'm currently seeking opinions as to whether this reflects the an operational consensus! If you're an Operator (DFZ, MSE or otherwise), it would be great to hear from you!
I'll be presenting the draft at NANOG 51 in M..

Gli ambienti di sviluppo (IDE) online sono una delle opportunità più originali che il cloud computing mette a disposizione dei programmatori web. In generale si tratta di editor di codice, debugger e strumenti per il controllo di versione da usare nel browser web senza bisogno di installare alcun software sul client. Per il momento le soluzioni disponibili offrono funzionalità limitate che tuttavia lasciano intravedere le possibilità che ..

Sparkfun and others sell a 434Mhz transmitter and a receiver for €2.88 and €3.61. This version receives at 2400bauds but there is a 4800 bauds version. Simply connect the transmitter to an arduino pin then your are done (almost). My first try was to follow the example from sparkfun, which simply read a value from the receiver: // read in values, debug to computer if (Serial.available() > 0) { incomingByte = Serial.

As many (most?) of you probably know, I entered iiNet’s TopGeek competition several weeks ago. You guys did such an awesome job voting for me, but unfortunately I didn’t make it into the top five spots required to pass through to the second round (the Top 20) based on votes. The good news is that I was one of the 15 people chosen by the judges to go through to the next round!

I've quit my job writing data center automation software for HP. I'm striking out on my own doing independent web application development. I'll be building some information products and then hopefully a subscription based web application targeted at a small niche audience. I had been working on the same product for 6.5 years and I am ready to switch gears from the world of enterprise software to consumer-facing web applications. I've been....

Ever wanted to command line import some data into MySQL and keep the encoding type? Turns out its not that difficult. Just a simple command line option. That said I have to look it up all the time. mysql -u USERNAME -pPASSWORD --default_character_set utf8 DATABASE > file.sql That will import things across with the correct encoding type. I think personally that the face that MySQL fails to throw an error or even raise a warning when it e..

In questa bella intervista Gaspar Torriero discute con Massimo Mantellini dell’importanza della banda larga simmetrica . Secondo Torriero ci troviamo ancora nel medioevo della Rete e la simmetria delle connessioni sarà la chiave che aprirà la porta a un futuro in gran parte ancora inimmaginabile. Dieci minuti ben spesi:

Firstly, the information that I’m presenting here is taken from various sources, including people I knew who worked for DEC, my own experiences, and the book DEC Is Dead, Long Live DEC by Edgar H. Schein. Quick background info: DEC was the first knowledge-based company - a company who valued the knowledge of its employees over anything else, and used it to drive change and sell products.

These posts are now being mirrored on my GameDev.net developer journal . Check out their new revamped site, it's pretty sweet.] I am getting ready for an alpha release soon, very basic, with one tutorial level and a level editor. So looking at installer options for XNA games, this WiX XNA installer appears to be the best choice. It's designed for SharpDevelop, and it creates an installer that checks for all the required libraries and e..

Once again on the train bound for Picton, to catch the Interislander ferry to Wellington. I think this will be my last post for this trip, so I may try to sum up a few things. First and foremost I want to thank those of you who read along with me; knowing that there were at least a couple of regular readers made the writing more enjoyable, and helped keep me to the daily discipline of posting something, which in turn helped establish a sort....

Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) was born in the late 1950s when it was lucrative to make computers that cost a ton of money. And DEC was good - they would make computers that would perform much better and cost significantly less than the IBM equivalent (IBM mainframes back then were expensive behemoths). The DEC PDP (Programmed Data Processor) line of minicomputers were so good and inexpensive, you’d be hard pressed to NOT find one i..

A full day in Christchurch, a Pole month’s worth of showers, sushi, photos of graffiti, walking around, going to the Christchurch art gallery, good conversations, and a nap have all helped get me back into the Real World™. I would like to try and remember the trail of events that led here from the last long blog post, because if I wait another day they will be gone down whatever tunnel of emptiness my leaky memory feeds into. They are gone ....

I’m sure you’ve heard of static site generators like Jekyll (Ruby) or Hyde (Python). The benefits are obvious - your site is hosted on a cheap shared hosting and it can easily survive the Digg/Slashdot/Reddit effect. There is no database latency - the browser requests a file on the server and gets it back immediately. Update (2011-02-27): While I still use a static generator to power my site, it’s not a different engine. I got tired of la....

Introdotta dallo slogan Siamo Uomini Non Macchine , Humans TXT è una iniziativa che consente di conoscere gli autori di un sito web. Per ragioni di immagine i committenti sono spesso riluttanti a consentire che sulle loro homepage appaiano i nomi degli autori. Non sempre è evidente chi ha sviluppato un sito, cosa certo non gradita all’autore che avrebbe tutto il diritto (e l’interesse) di firmare le proprie opere.

Just a few more minutes to get this post in for January 22. This will be very brief since I need to catch up on sleep. The short summary is that we arrived safely in Christchurch this morning after a very eventful 24 hrs. It is great to be back in the real world but our night flight was quite exhausting and it will be a day or so before I feel rested. I will try to write much more in length tomorrow and post a lot of photos (and maybe even ..
