Arduino dispone di parecchi timer interni, che l'API pero' non valorizza adeguatamente. Per tale ragione si finisce sempre per leggere codice criptico basato sull'hacking dei registri ATMega, spesso con spiegazioni sommarie.

Scrivo questo articolo perche' sembra oramai  impossibile trovare spiegazioni chiare e decenti su questo argomento,  senza che siano zeppe di pubblicita', anche se qualche sito si salva.

Come sapete, su Gioorgi.com l'unica pubblicita' che vedrete sono i rari box dei prodotti Amazon, che pubblicizzo piu' che altro per fornirvi un 'servizio' che per guadagnarci qualche cosa  con le relative commissioni, e i link ai mei pochi libri/prodotti.
Andiamo ad iniziare.

A small update to Stereo Sid:

1. Fix lack of LICENSE (merge from original Cyberernesto upstream)
2. Fix library.properties and arduino lint pass, to be able to be included inside arduino library manager
3. New professional CHANGELOG file

Note: StereoSID will work only for Arduino UNO R1-R3 and AVR-based chipset. We are evaluating a support to new Arduino WiFi R4

In the last projects, I get used to use K8s CronJob(s) to schedule tasks.

I am playing to Divinity: Original Sin II  (D:OS2) which is the game done before Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3) by Larian Studios

BG3 is a success despite its launch was anticipated in August to avoid head-to-head competition Starfield. If we compare the success of  BG3 with CyberPunk2077 launch failure, I think we can learn something about software developing PLANNING.

Divinity games are a tactical game with a lot of freedom, you can take things, combine them, and solve quests with different approaches (brute forces, talks with different paths,  etc). For instance you can try to open a door with a key, with a burglar kit, or bashing it until it is destroyed (more long but feasible).

Federico Crosta era il grande vecchio. In redazione lo conoscevano tutti. Era il vicedirettore da cosi’ tanto tempo che nessuno sapeva dirlo con precisione: cinquanta, sessant’anni?

Context: Spring microservice application to be deployed on K8s via helm + boring Friday

In this scenario, you end up writing the SAME configuration string in a lot of places:

1. On at least 2 application.properties (main and test)
2. On the final, helm-generated application properties (or in the relevant environment variable if you use them in place (1))
3. On the default K8s values.yaml used by helm. Possibly on other yaml file too, all documented a bit to be kindly with the K8s SRE.
4. On the relevant Java code, as a @Value annotation to finally use that damn config.

These configuration are not particular exciting: they are all similar, some case can change but, really, ChatGPT could do it for you. If you have 4 parameters, you end up losing half an hour to do everything and test it. We can do better, for sure^TM
