  • The Privacy Tax

    In the 1980, privacy was a lot easier to acquire. Banks can harvest information on us, but the limited computer power was a big limiting factor to their analyzing dreams. 

    For years Banks have computed the best credit options (for them) to sell to customers. Now the problem is on privacy. Google Plex can crunch a lot of data in a snap, Facebook sells our advertising target profile, and a lot of other companies can predict our ability to pay a loan or our future health for insurance reasons.

    Sembra che il governo a trazione "Legista Stellare" voglia farsi buttare fuori dall'Europa.

    Show come la scarpata di Ciocca oppure sperare che la Russia ci paghi il debito, sono goffi tentativi di nascondere una incompetenza notevole, che peraltro traspare da pasticci multipli, manine e altro.

    Don pablo

    Don Pablo si guardò allo specchio un’ultima volta.

    Vide un uomo in pace con sé stesso: ringraziò Dio per avergli risparmiato tutte le tentazioni di una vita, poiché era in grado di guardarsi in faccia senza dover mentire a sé stesso.

    Il cardinale Marcy lo attendeva nella piccola chiesa di San Marco a Roma. Arrivò puntualissimo all’incontro. La chiesa era a base greca, e si affacciava in un quartiere periferico della città eterna, che le conferiva un silenzio che era al contempo mistico e tombale.

    The ZilogZ80 CPU is an 8-bit based microprocessor. It was introduced by Zilog in 1976 as the startup company's first product. The Z80 was conceived by Federico Faggin in late 1974. The Z80 was software compatible (!) with the Intel 8080 machine language. It added several extensions and was the heart of the ZX Spectrum.

    Why Arduino UNO rocks

    After some years in IoT, I tried a bunch of different platform like esp8266 but Arduino remains a must.

    Simple reason to choose it for your first (or second :) IoT project:

    1. Arduino works at 5V and can accept as input voltage 7-12V, but with limit up to 20V (avoid it! :).
      This mean you can use a wide range of power supply (4 AA Batteries, 12V transformer from your dead router and so on)
    2. Arduino board provides a 5V regulated output and a 3.3V too for working with a wide range of sensors.
    3. You got 6 Analog2Digital pins (the A0...A5 pins) with a 0..1024 value resolution. In comparison, esp8266 has only one pin with less resolution.
    4. It is completly open source, so you can find easily cheap clones like this one at less then 10 euros.
    5. The ATmega328P chip inside Arduino provide I2C and SPI communication which means you can easily work with other chip.
      You can even program an Arduino to be an I2C client to other Arduinos making a small set of complex circuits.
      For instance, the C/64 SID chip emulator can be compiled to act like a I2C slave and another Arduino can program it like...a SID chip
    6. Did I talk about the real time operating system, written by an italian guy?....  I was able to use it to build a small "Egg box Lamp".

    The Sqlite Oracle Compatibility Functions is an experimental compatibility layer for SQLite vs Oracle, written in Python 3.

     

    It aims to provide a minimal compatibility with Oracle. The need was having some regular expression functions, and I do not like to work with risky C code, like this university project did

    A very useful friend to make a elisp function starting from your….last command

    C-x ESC ESC (translated from C-x <escape> <escape>) runs the command repeat-complex-command (found in global-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘simple.el’.

    It is bound to <again>, <redo>, C-x M-:, C-x M-ESC.

  • Thinking in Angular 4: Templates

    Thinking in Angular 4: Templates

    To understand Angular 4, after the “Hero” tutorial you should start from the Template syntax. 

    We highlighted some statement in red below:

    Data direction Syntax Type
    One-way from data source to view target \{\{expression\}\} [target]="expression" bind-target="expression" Interpolation Property Attribute Class Style
    One-way from view target to data source (target)="statement" on-target="statement" Event
    Two-way [(target)]="expression" bindon-target="expression" Two-way
    Binding types other than interpolation have a target name to the left of the equal sign, either surrounded by punctuation ([], ()) or preceded by a prefix (bind-, on-, bindon-).

    The target name is the name of a property. It may look like the name of an attribute but it never is. To appreciate the difference, you must develop a new way to think about template HTML.

    UPDATED and BUGFIXED!

    MicroPython Repl command line is very nice, because you can telnet to the chip and read-and-evaluate python code. It is a great way of learning embedded IoT. The bad thing you cannot copy file while it is running, so experimenting get bad.

    Because some friend of mine did not know about RUP, and deal with waterfall process, I decided to make a small recall for all poor young Project Manager dealing with bad developers, bad consultants and so on, out of there. From Wikipedia:

    The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is an iterative software development process framework created by the Rational Software Corporation, a division of IBM since 2003.[1] RUP is not a single concrete prescriptive process, but rather an adaptable process framework, intended to be tailored by the development organizations and software project teams that will select the elements of the process that are appropriate for their needs. RUP is a specific implementation of the Unified Process.
