In my decades-long (sigh!) experience in programming, one of the main problems is the gradual slowdown of systems caused by the growth of their databases over time. Often this is due to inexperience, for the first years we are too concentrated on obtaining a working system and we ignore performance until we have to continuously… Continue reading Performance review of a SQL database

Artificial Intelligence – Part II: The Rise of Modern AI
I’m starting to prepare the follow-up to the introductory AI presentation I gave last year, and I realized I never published the second part of the first talk – so here it is! In the first part we see the impressive development in many areas already in progress at the beginning of 1900 and exploded… Continue reading Artificial Intelligence – Part II: The Rise of Modern AI
History of Venetian Language – the End?
Let’s continue the time travel in Veneto to see how its history is actually saved in its language. In the previous post we see the born of Venetian, from the fusion of Vulgar Latin with the germanic population arrived in Veneto after the fall of Roman Empire, enriched by all the contacts with the greek… Continue reading History of Venetian Language – the End?
History of Venetian Language – the Origins
This post is a little bit different from the other presented so far. It is about linguistics, and in particular about my vernacular language, the Venetian (or at least, what still survives of it after more than 200 years from the fall of Venice). Some years ago I published an Android App about history of… Continue reading History of Venetian Language – the Origins
Value of Content in the AI Era
In last couple of years we can notice a huge increase of textual and graphics contents generated or setted by AI (the important thing is to be present and constant in some way in the social flows, AI simplifies this). This abundance of contents as well as their homogeneity in format make all information sort… Continue reading Value of Content in the AI Era
Artificial Intelligence – Part I: The Birth
Recently I have been invited to talk about history of AI and its current state of the art at UNIPOP, the “People’s University of Povegliano”, so I had the chance to delve into the origins and early stages of AI, which I had previously somewhat dismissed, despite having studied its developments from the 1980s onward… Continue reading Artificial Intelligence – Part I: The Birth
How to Recover Deleted Files with Linux using Sleuth Kit
I think that everyone has at least once delete a file that they shouldn’t have, either from a USB stick or from the recycle bin of their operating system, finding themselves in the unpleasant situation of no longer being able to undo the deletion. What not everyone knows is that this is an operation that… Continue reading How to Recover Deleted Files with Linux using Sleuth Kit
Magento 2.4.6 – Dynamic Properties are deprecated
The problem Dependency Injection (DI) is a core design pattern used extensively in Magento to manage class dependencies. In Magento, DI is implemented primarily through constructor injection, where dependencies are provided directly to class constructors rather than being instantiated within the class itself. There would be a lot of interesting things to say about this… Continue reading Magento 2.4.6 – Dynamic Properties are deprecated
Challenging mathematical open problems
Over time I encountered a lot of interesting mathematical open problems that caught my attention. At some level I tried to understand and/or solve (in vain) them, but they remained in my mind and I hope at some point of my life to see their solution. The first two of these (Riemann Hypothesis and P… Continue reading Challenging mathematical open problems
Computational Models
Computers are very fast circuits able to do several basic logical, mathematical and memory operations and we use long sequences of these operations to perform almost every possible task. They are so fast that we think the elaboration as instantaneous, but if the input is large it may require some time. I still remember the… Continue reading Computational Models
