After a bunch of time, I take back my Erlang Hammer from the sand of time.
The result is ErZauker v0.0.2 the first pure-Erlang implementation of a code indexer.
Er Zauker is a tiny but speedy search engine tailoring code searches. Zauker is backed by REDIS, the fastest RAM-based NoSQL engine you have never seen.

If you have an application with thousand of beans, you must do unit testing but…Spring testing is boring, belive me. A very complex Spring application usually have a lot of dependency: I had to manage over 3000 beans definitions in a production project right now. Sometimes you want only to test a bit of it, and setting up a complete Spring Context will drive you crazy. To avoid losing mind, my suggestion is to …cheat. Let’see how.

Ciao a tutti, è venerdì! Se avete due minuti di tempo, volevo indicarvi un articolo su un algoritmo non banale, molto ben descritto qui:
http://research.swtch.com/sparse
This is the story of a clever trick that’s been around for at least 35 years, in which array values can be left uninitialized and then read during normal operations, yet the code behaves correctly no matter what garbage is sitting in the array.

I stumbled upon a very brain-f**k error on Oracle 10g on these days.
Context: the following query [sql]SELECT * FROM (
SELECT TO_NUMBER(CUSTOMER_ID) AS SNDG FROM BAD_CODES_TABLE WHERE
AND I_LIKE=UPPER(‘STATIC_CONDITION’) AND CUSTOMER_ID NOT LIKE ‘%P%’ ) S WHERE TO_NUMBER(S.SNDG) >2000[/sql] could trigger a Invalid number if CUSTOMER_ID column contains invalid numbers.Why?
Well…if you ask to “explain plan”, you will get something like
- a table full scan
- Filter Predicates AND
- I_LIKE=UPPER('STATIC_CONDITION')
- TO_NUMBER(S.SNDG) >2000
- CUSTOMER_ID NOT LIKE '%P%'
- Filter Predicates AND

How I Structure My Flask Applications Flask has been my preferred web framework as of late. I think it has a great core feature set and Armin, the main author, has done well to keep its API minimal and easy to digest even for developers that are relatively new to Python. However, given that it is a rather minimal framework, it can be often difficult to decide on how to structure an application after it reaches a certain level of complexity. It tends to be a common question that comes up in the #pocoo IRC channel.In this article I intend to share how I structure Flask applications. To help support this article Ive written a very basic application that Ive arbitrarily named Overholt. If you plan on following along I recommend having the source code open in your browser or a code editor.
