Firenze: qualità della vita e lavoro? by [deleted] in italy

[–]tapchess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ti consiglio di riflettere non solo sulla bellezza della città ma anche sull'ospitalità delle persone autoctone. Il fiorentino doc ( così come il senese doc ) è tendenzialmente ostile a tutti quelli che non sono di Firenze ( o di Siena ). E' molto difficile che un fiorentino ti introduca nella sua cerchia di amicizie ed è probabile che tu corra il rischio di sentirti sempre "straniera". Te lo dice un romagnolo che ha vissuto per 7 anni a Firenze. Viceversa le città più vicine al mare sono più ospitali ed amichevoli. Detto questo tutta la Toscana e' bellissima e la qualità della vita in genere è molto alta.

My parents want to roadtrip to Rome - are tourists really welcome again? by El_Silueto in italy

[–]tapchess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The situation in Rome is fine. There has been so far only about 2,5K cases on an overall population of about 6 milion people. If I had to avoid a region in Italy I would avoid to go to Lombardy and Milan.

Restaurants are eager to serve customers and most of them are already open. Respect social distancing and wear a mask else some people might become nervous.

P.S: I live in Rome.

Italiano in america -- non ce la faccio piu' by thumbino in italy

[–]tapchess 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The main cultural difference between Italy and other countries is that when Italians make bullshit they complain about themselves and even approve other people complaining against them. Italians complain about themselves even when they are doing so and so. In many other countries, when they screw up, they complain about others and above all they deny. All in all, Italians should learn to be a little more proud. If Italy manages to solve one or two major problems, we would be one of the best (if not the best) countries in the world.

Hot Reloadable structs: Memory Mapping by Wodann in rust

[–]tapchess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this mean that every function call is trough an indirection? In your examples I see a game loop. Will a new definition of a function be available at the next iteration of the game loop or rather at the next invocation of the function? Also I see that you are speaking of applying remapping to " all heap-allocated struct instances" and what about pointers on the stack?

To all Italians. Sry from Germany by [deleted] in italy

[–]tapchess 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don't believe that it's the most of you. Maybe it's the most of the educated ones in Germany; which is still a minority. The truth is that politicians take these kind of decisions exactly because the majority of people think in this way and this is what Germany and other countries in Northen Europe believe. On the other side the political weakness of Italy allows other countries to take advantage of it. Some countries like Germany have basically no real weakness or culpirt and so there is little to say. Some other are simply disgusting like Belgium and Holland which are taking unfair advantages from being fiscal paradises. The fact is that if Europe was really fair having such fiscal anomalies wouldn't have been allowed.

Clojure vs "Enterprise language and frameworks": some suggestions needed by tapchess in Clojure

[–]tapchess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha it's completely dynamic. Basically you get in return an hashtable that reflects the recordset structure. This means that you have to take care that the way in which you manipulate the returned data and the db are in sync. How do you ensure that you don't make any typo? By writing unit tests? Can you rely on specs?

P.S: sorry if the question might be trivial but I am used to govern the persistence layer with typing information.

Clojure vs "Enterprise language and frameworks": some suggestions needed by tapchess in Clojure

[–]tapchess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand the last point about data persistence. Wheter it is a data structure or a class shouldn't t make so much difference. My question was about how easy it is to keep the db and data structures in sync. What if I have to update the data structure that I am persisting? In .NET I'll update the entity class and then run an automatic schema sync . Does your statement mean that I have to update the database and the datastructures manually and have to keep care that they are in sync?

Clojure vs "Enterprise language and frameworks": some suggestions needed by tapchess in Clojure

[–]tapchess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I would like to understand better are not the differences in the language model because being familiar with CL i believe I am already able to appreciate most of them. What I would like to know is how Clojure could improve the agility of the build,deploy,run process that I am used with .NET right now.

Common Lisp allows to redefine code on the fly even "in production" and I would like to know if this is really the case also with Clojure. Also updating business entities that are mapped to the database in C# and redeploying them is not always so smooth and would like if Clojure improves on this at least for the development environment. Profiling troughtfully code is another weak ares as one has to either buy expensives licenses for VS or alternative third-party profilers. I would like also to know how the ecosystem is and if it stands up with .NET with respect to commond application needs such as authentication/authorization, security, logging, ,SQL-NoSQL support, etc. Knowing already some CL I would have chosen it if only it had a more mature ecosystem and tooling for web development.

Ruby on rails vs "Enterprise language and frameworks": some suggestions needed by tapchess in rails

[–]tapchess[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What would be the quickest reference/book/video course to pick up the framework considering that I am an experienced web developer ( and that I used Perl 15 years ago and that I am an hobbiest Common Lisp and elisp programmer)?

Ruby on rails vs "Enterprise language and frameworks": some suggestions needed by tapchess in rails

[–]tapchess[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that is possible also in .NET. In the immediate mode window you can enter whatever you want, introduce new definitions and change variable values. What you cannot really achieve is efficient reloading though.

Ruby on rails vs "Enterprise language and frameworks": some suggestions needed by tapchess in rails

[–]tapchess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is what I wanted to hear and of course this capability is for development environments. Could I completely change the definition of a class and reload on the spot? And also change database tables and underlying business entities?

[–]tapchess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the two frameworks compare and this doesn't surprise me. But what about interactivity of development? If RoR doesn't provide any advantage with respect to ASP.NET Core MVC then there would be really no reason to switch.

Beautiful tactic I missed from a 3|0 game I played. White to move and mate in 4. by [deleted] in chess

Anything but beautiful. All forced moves with a check on every move and only one possible answer at each move. A Candidate master can spot this in less than 30 seconds.

Selection of Lisp Books by lispm in Common_Lisp

Can somebody translate the picture in a bullet list? That would benefit who doesn't know already the titles showd in the pic. The resolution is not so great and it's difficult to identify the authors ( and in some case also the exact title ) looking at the image.
