    Vivek Yadav, an engineering manager at the payment company Stripe, speaks with host Adi Narayan about building regression testing for microservices. Drawing on his work estimating network costs for card payments, Vivek explains why unit and integration tests fall short when a single transaction's cost can depend on 100+ parameters across card networks, countries, and merchant types. He describes Stripe's approach: structuring services so that core logic is stateless and separated from I/O, then wrapping that logic in an Apache Spark job that replays historical transactions from cold storage to compare old versus new outputs at a granular, per-transaction level. This allows Stripe to validate major migrations with far more confidence and speed than a traditional shadow-rollout, and it now doubles as a tool for assessing network rule changes, debugging incidents, and even showing customers how a pricing change will affect their costs. The episode closes by noting the same pattern applies wherever AI-driven code changes need fast, reliable evals.

    From the archives: Midland frontman Mark Wystrach joins Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the reality behind life in a successful band. This episode is brought to you by JamCut.IO (https://jamcut.io/). If you're a musician and you're tired of making clips all the time, check these guys out! Mark talks about Midland nearly falling apart during its early years, the fights and conflict that came with three strong personalities trying to build a career together, and why the music ultimately kept them together. He also gets into the brutal touring schedule, balancing life on the road with being a husband and father, and why the fantasy of the "rock star lifestyle" is a lot different from actually living it. The conversation gets even deeper as Mark opens up about his history with drugs and alcohol, growing up around addiction, and the lessons he took from seeing the darker side of it firsthand. He also shares two terrifying stories that changed the way he looks at life: being stranded in extreme desert heat after blowing a tire on his Harley, and suffering a massive heart-related medical emergency in his early 20s that left his heart functioning at roughly 25% for a period of time. Those experiences helped push him toward pursuing music and living life on his own terms.

    Send us Fan MailMany growing eCommerce businesses reach a point where their existing software can no longer keep pace with increasing operational complexity. Lightweight applications often lack the capabilities needed to support higher order volumes, expanding sales channels, and more sophisticated inventory and fulfillment requirements, while traditional ERP systems can be overly complex, costly, and difficult to implement. As the business scales, disconnected systems, manual processes, and fragmented data become increasingly common, reducing visibility across operations and making it harder to respond quickly to customer demand. The result is slower decision-making, operational inefficiencies, and shrinking margins at a stage when agility and scalability are essential for continued growth.In this episode, Sam Gupta and Shrestha Dash from ElevatIQ, Andy Pratico from Essential Software Solutions, and Phil Coerper from Ringling Business Solutions conduct an in-depth independent review of a leading FP&A platform Fulfil.IO.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/fulfil-io-ai-powered-ecommerce-operations-platform-review-independent-in-depth/Questions for Panelists?

    Oltre 7'000 metri cubi di roccia, detriti e legname si abbatterono sulla chiesa dedicata alla Madonna della Misericordia, considerata il centro spirituale della valle.La storia del santuario inizia il 10 ottobre 1492, quando due ragazze annunciarono di aver visto la Madonna mentre raccoglievano castagne. “Videro apparire questa figura piccola, tutta vestita di bianco, che disse loro: ‘Io sono la mamma di Dio'”, racconta lo storico Guido Scaramellini. Nel 1493 sorgeva già una piccola chiesa in legno, sostituita dall'attuale santuario tra la fine del Cinquecento e i primi del Seicento. La consacrazione avvenne nel 1615.Tesori artistici da salvareL'interno custodisce un prezioso ciclo di affreschi realizzato nei primi anni del Seicento da Domenico Caresana, pittore ticinese che lavorò anche nel Duomo di Milano. Tra le opere più significative, l'Incoronazione della Vergine di Paolo Camillo Landriano (1606) e dipinti settecenteschi di Cesare Ligari. Dopo la frana, oltre 120 opere tra dipinti, statue e arredi sono state recuperate e messe in sicurezza.Il cantiere del restauro“L'intervento non è solo un recupero dei danni, ma anche un miglioramento sismico dell'intera struttura”, spiega l'ingegnere Virgilio Scalco, direttore dei lavori. Sono state installate travi sovradimensionate sulla copertura per proteggere le volte affrescate da eventuali nuove cadute di massi.L'architetto Mauro De Giovanni coordina il restauro artistico: “La frana ha bucato un angolo di un affresco del Caresana. I frammenti sono stati catalogati e verranno riutilizzati per ricomporre l'opera”. Il lavoro più delicato riguarda la pulitura dalla polvere e il consolidamento degli intonaci distaccati.Come contribuireIl primo lotto di lavori ammonta a 4'600'000 euro: 3'600'000 da fondi pubblici (Regione Lombardia e Provincia) e 1'000'000 dalla Diocesi di Como e dalla parrocchia. “Finora abbiamo raccolto circa 300'000 euro attraverso donazioni”, afferma l'ingegnere Matteo Zubiani della commissione diocesana.Il santuario si è affiliato a Italia per il Dono, garantendo massima trasparenza. È possibile donare anche per il restauro di opere specifiche: 50 euro per due stelline della navata, 100 euro per il rosone. Sul sito sono visibili tutti i nomi dei donatori e i loro messaggi.La strada per la riapertura è ancora lunga, ma la fede dei valligiani e dei fedeli di ogni dove sta riportando in vita questo luogo simbolo della Valchiavenna.

    Paolo Zagari"Giallo Roma"Un nuovo caso per MaraschinoFratelli Frilli Editoriwww.frillieditori.com“Non era soddisfatto Maraschino, si sentiva irrisolto. Non vedeva l'ora di prendere il motorino, infilarsi il casco, premere il pulsante di avviamento e dare gas. Dare gas al motore e al cervello”. È un'estate bollente, la città è vuota, e i nervi dei pochi rimasti sono a fior di pelle. In questo clima un agente immobiliare viene trovato ucciso dentro un condominio di San Lorenzo, quartiere storico di Roma. Le poche testimonianze parlano di lite furibonda, probabilmente una morte violenta dovuta a motivi razziali. Un bianco ucciso da un gruppo di neri. Maraschino, inviato del giornale “La Civetta”, si ritrova a seguire il classico caso che sembra fatto apposta per riempire le pagine dei giornali con polemiche da ombrellone: immigrati sì, immigrati no, integrazione o espulsione. Nel condominio di San Lorenzo strutturato come un ascensore sociale (ma senza ascensore) abitano bangladini, anziani, coppie di italiani, senegalesi, studenti, impiegati e una clus. Ognuno con una sua storia, ognuno con umori, dolori differenti e inconciliabili, così lontani eppure così tanto legati da essere uniti da un filo rosso di qualcosa di molto peggio: sangue. Maraschino prende appunti, beve caffè, vola col motorino impresentabile da un capo all'altro della città, indaga tra le pieghe umane di una realtà ben più complessa delle apparenze. Si impegna nel lavoro a modo suo non rinunciando alla sua piccola e frammentata vita privata che ruota intorno alla gatta Ollie e alla proto fidanzata Veronica con la quale cerca di non cadere nel baratro di quello che lui stesso definisce “coppiettismo”. La storia avanza attraverso un caleidoscopio di verità concatenate e sorprendenti colte da Maraschino e dalla sua giovane collega Elettra Rossi che per seguire la pista dell'inchiesta, si sposta persino a Salonicco in Grecia. Tra le altre attività preferite, il tennis, la cucina etnica e una qualche modo di attenuare l'orrore esistenziale. Arrivato alla fine di continui morali. Ma non ci riuscirà.Paolo Zagari (Roma, 1962) è scrittore, giornalista e saggista, con una lunga esperienza nel settore radiotelevisivo. È stato produttore e regista di documentari come Bosnia le radici spezzate, Los Tanos e Il deserto degli affetti, e inviato per trasmissioni Rai quali Chi l'ha visto, Crash, Sereno Variabile, Rai Storia e Il mondo di Quark.Nel 1994 vince il Premio letterario Diego Fabbri con Io, Woody e Allen (Edizioni Dedalo); nel 2007 il Premio Ilaria Alpi con il reportage "Il mercato delle braccia"; tre anni dopo il Premio Repubblica.it con l'inchiesta "Terra di nessuno".Come autore pubblica per Fazi Editore Smog (2009) e Il tradimento preventivo (2012), per Mds Editore Soli, bastardi e sentimentali (2019), Fuori dall'algoritmo (2021), Romanzetto marino (2023) e Il cavalletto di Siviglia (2025). Nel 2024 si dedica al noir con Un caso per Maraschino, primo volume di una trilogia edita da Frilli Editore. L'anno successivo esce Lupi a motore, la sua prima raccolta di poesie, con Edizioni Ensemble.

    Claudio Rinaldi"Viaggio in America"Gianni BreraNino Aragno Editorewww.ninoaragnoeditore.itClaudio Rinaldi"Viaggio in America"Gianni BreraNino Aragno Editorewww.ninoaragnoeditore.itNella primavera del 1955 Gianni Brera sale su un aereo diretto a New York. Non è un viaggio di piacere: il Dipartimento di Stato americano ha selezionato un gruppo di giornalisti europei per un tour di tre mesi attraverso gli Stati Uniti, con l'obiettivo dichiarato di farne conoscere lo sport e i campus universitari in piena Guerra fredda culturale. Brera, allora al vertice della sua fama di firma sportiva e appena allontanato dalla direzione della Gazzetta dello Sport anche per le sue simmetrie di sinistra, accetta. Atterra l'8 aprile e non farà ritorno prima di luglio, dopo undici voli interni e tappe a New York, Washington, New Haven, Filadelfia, Indianapolis, Chicago, San Francisco, Stockton, Los Angeles, Denver. Da quel viaggio nascono reportage che oggi Claudio Rinaldi ha riunito per la prima volta in volume, Viaggio in America, edito da Aragno. Sono pagine scritte per Tempo, L'Illustrazione Italiana e L'Équipe: inchieste sulla boxe, sull'atletica, sul football, sulle corse di cavalli e di automobili, ma anche cronache di costume che intrecciano sport, razza, potere e diseguaglianza nell'America di metà secolo. C'è persino un'intervista ad Avery Brundage, allora presidente del Comitato Olimpico Internazionale, sui Giochi di Roma del 1960. Brera confessa di sentirsi come "in un polmone d'acciaio: quello della mia ignoranza" della lingua inglese, eppure proprio quello spaesamento affina il suo sguardo e la sua scrittura, spingendolo verso un giornalismo che è insieme cronaca, sociologia e letteratura. Colpisce, rileggendo oggi quelle corrispondenze, la lucidità con cui Brera osserva un paese che non conosce e di cui non parla la lingua: annota il fascino ambiguo del football americano ("troppo bello perché il calcio possa attecchire qui"), si aggira tra le palestre di boxe di Chicago e i quartieri di Little Italy, assiste al Kentucky Derby, misura la distanza tra lo sport-spettacolo statunitense e quello, ancora largamente dilettantistico, dell'Italia del dopoguerra. Ne esce un affresco che è insieme reportage sportivo e ritratto sociale, attraversato da un'idea di giornalismo per cui la cronaca di una gara di velocità o di un incontro di pugilato diventa lente per leggere razza, classe, potere e mito americano. Claudio Rinaldi, biografo e tra i massimi studiosi dell'opera di Brera, firma la curatela di questo volume che restituisce un tassello finora poco conosciuto della sua produzione: uno snodo stilistico e ideologico che anticipa la stagione del giornalismo culturale breriano, dalle pagine del Giorno fino a Repubblica, di cui Brera sarà tra le firme fondative. Nell'intervista che presentiamo, Rinaldi ricostruisce la genesi del viaggio e il contesto politico che lo rese possibile, il lavoro di ricerca che ha permesso di raccogliere per la prima volta in volume articoli dispersi su testate diverse, il metodo di un cronista che pur non parlando inglese seppe leggere in profondità un paese lontano dal suo, e il valore che queste pagine assumono oggi, settant'anni dopo, per chi vuole capire non solo Brera ma l'incontro-scontro tra due modi opposti di intendere lo sport e la modernità. Un'occasione, per i lettori/ascoltatori de Il Posto delle Parole, di riscoprire attraverso l'America degli anni Cinquanta la voce di uno dei più grandi narratori dello sport italiano: un Brera meno noto, in viaggio, spaesato e insieme acutissimo, alle prese con un mondo che di lì a poco avrebbe cambiato per sempre il modo di raccontare lo sport anche da queste parti.Gianni Brera  (1919 - 1992) è stato il più grande giornalista sportivo italiano. Direttore della «Gazzetta dello Sport» a trent'anni, ha scritto per il «Guerin Sportivo», «il Giorno», «il Giornale», «la Repubblica», oltre a infinite altre collaborazioni. Tra i suoi innumerevoli libri si ricordino L'avocatt in bicicletta (1952), Il sesso degli Ercoli (1959), Io, Coppi (1960), La pacciada, con Luigi Veronelli (1973), Incontri e invettive (1974), Storia critica del calcio italiano (1975), Coppi e il diavolo (1981), i romanzi Il corpo della ragassa (1969), Naso bugiardo (1977) e Il mio vescovo e le animalesse (1983), oltre a vari manuali tecnici di calcio e di atletica leggera e alla traduzione di tre opere di Molière (Il misantropo, Tartufo, L'avaro), con un'ampia nota critica introduttiva (1947).Claudio Rinaldi , 57 anni, è il direttore della «Gazzetta di Parma», dove è entrato come praticante nel 1991. Ha deciso di fare il giornalista quando era un ragazzino, dopo essersi imbattuto in Gianni Brera ed essere rimasto folgorato dalla sua prosa. A Brera ha dedicato il libro Gioannfucarlo: Vita e scritti inediti di Gianni Brera (2001), scritto con Paolo Brera, e la voce del Dizionario biografico degli italiani della Treccani (2014). Ha scritto biografie dell'arbitro internazionale di calcio Alberto Michelotti e dell'allenatore di maratoneti Luciano Gigliotti e un volume sulle storie degli emigranti dall'Appennino parmense in Inghilterra, in Francia e negli Stati Uniti.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

    A Harvard astrophysicist once suggested that the best explanation for our moon is observational error — that the moon simply does not exist. Sometimes the theory is in more trouble than the evidence. In the Sunday school hour at Quentin Road Baptist Church, Dr. Jake Hebert of the Institute for Creation Research takes the class on a tour of the solar system and deep space, and makes a claim that sounds backwards until you hear it out: recent creation is the more reasonable position. Age, he argues, is never measured in a laboratory — it is calculated from assumptions about the past, and those assumptions rule out creation before the evidence is ever examined. Then the tour: comets that should have melted away long ago, propped up by an Oort cloud that Carl Sagan admitted has no direct evidence behind it. Magnetic fields still humming on small bodies that should have gone cold eons ago. Saturn's rings, Titan's methane, volcanic Io, a crater-free plain on Pluto. Earth's own magnetic field losing half its energy every 1,400 years. A creation physicist who read 2 Peter 3:5 and predicted the magnetism of Mercury, Uranus, and Neptune while mainstream models missed at nearly every planet. And the hard one everybody asks about — how we can see starlight from billions of light years away in a universe only thousands of years old. The companion to the morning message "Our Young World," and an entirely different subject: this hour is the sky. Scripture referenced: Psalm 19:1; Genesis 1:5, 8; 2 Peter 3:5; Mark 10:6

    "Non ho visto nessuno." Ma come?! Due negazioni nella stessa frase? In matematica meno per meno fa più… ma in italiano funziona così? E soprattutto: è giusto o è un errore? La doppia negazione è uno di quegli argomenti che separano chi "studia" l'italiano da chi lo parla davvero come un madrelingua. Scopriamo insieme le 8 trappole più comuni e come puoi evitarle. Smettila di Dire "NON MAI VADO" In italiano la doppia negazione non è un errore: è correttissima e spesso addirittura obbligatoria. Tra gli errori più comuni in italiano, quelli sulla doppia negazione sono tra i più diffusi. Vediamo prima la regola d'oro e poi gli 8 errori classici che devi assolutamente evitare. Le Parole Negative dell'Italiano In italiano abbiamo un piccolo gruppo di parole negative, che devi tenere sempre a mente: niente, nulla, nessuno, mai, né… né, neanche, nemmeno, neppure, affatto, mica (e anche più, nel senso di "non più", che si comporta in modo un po' speciale). La regola che le governa è una sola e si basa sulla posizione: Se la parola negativa viene dopo il verbo → ti serve anche "non" prima del verbo. Ecco la doppia negazione! → "Non ho visto nessuno." Se la parola negativa viene prima del verbo → "non" sparisce. Negazione singola! → "Nessuno è venuto." Questa regola funziona alla perfezione con nessuno, niente/nulla, mai, né… né, neanche/nemmeno/neppure. Tienila a mente, perché i primi errori che vedremo nascono proprio da qui. Un'unica regola, e già un sacco di modi diversi di sbagliarla. Piccole Eccezioni: "Più" e "Ancora" La parola più (nel senso di "non più") vuole quasi sempre il "non" e non si mette mai prima del verbo per negare: non dici "Più ti amo", ma "Non ti amo più". Fai attenzione anche a ancora: da sola non è una parola negativa (in "ho ancora tempo" è positiva!), ma quando significa "not yet" vuole il "non" anche quando sta prima del verbo → "Ancora non ho finito". Sono le due piccole ribelli che non seguono del tutto la regola dell'anteposizione. Curiosità Linguistica: la Concordanza Negativa Questo fenomeno ha un nome tecnico: si chiama concordanza negativa. Significa che le negazioni, invece di annullarsi a vicenda, "collaborano" e rinforzano insieme il significato negativo. Non è una stranezza solo dell'italiano: anche lo spagnolo ("No vi a nadie") e il francese ("Je ne vois personne") funzionano allo stesso modo. È una caratteristica di famiglia delle lingue romanze. Anzi, per gran parte della storia delle lingue europee questa è stata la norma, e l'idea che "due negazioni si annullano" è un'imposizione relativamente recente della logica e della matematica sulla lingua di tutti i giorni. Errore n°1 — Dimenticare il "Non" È l'errore numero uno degli anglofoni. In inglese si dice "I saw nobody": una sola negazione. Quindi è naturale tradurre parola per parola e dire "Ho visto nessuno". Ma in italiano, se "nessuno" sta dopo il verbo, ti serve il "non". Da evitareCorretto"Capisco niente""Non capisco niente""Vado mai in palestra""Non vado mai in palestra""Vedo nessuno""Non vedo nessuno" Perché succede? Perché a scuola, agli studenti di lingua inglese, insegnano che "two negatives make a positive", cioè che due negazioni si annullano. Ma rilassati: l'italiano non è una lezione di matematica. Qui le due negazioni non si annullano (vedi? Anche questa è una doppia negazione perfetta!), anzi, più ne metti, più la frase è negativa. Trabocchetto Collegato: "Qualcuno/Qualcosa" al Posto di "Nessuno/Niente" C'è un secondo modo, più nascosto, di cadere in questo errore. Molti studenti, per "salvare" la frase, evitano la parola negativa e usano qualcuno o qualcosa. Per approfondire questo punto, puoi consultare la guida sugli aggettivi indefiniti in italiano. Da evitareCorretto"Non ho visto qualcuno""Non ho visto nessuno""Non ho mangiato qualcosa""Non ho mangiato niente" Nelle frasi negative devi usare nessuno e niente, non qualcuno e qualcosa (che restano per le frasi affermative e per le domande: "Hai visto qualcuno?"). Tienilo a mente, perché è un errore subdolo che fanno anche studenti di livello avanzato. Errore n°2 — Mettere il "Non" quando NON Serve Questo è l'errore opposto, quello dello "studente bravo che ha imparato fin troppo bene la regola precedente". Quando la parola negativa è prima del verbo, il "non" diventa di troppo. Da evitareCorretto"Nessuno non è venuto alla festa""Nessuno è venuto alla festa""Niente non è cambiato""Niente è cambiato" La cosa interessante è che puoi dire la stessa identica cosa in due modi diversi, semplicemente spostando la parola negativa: "Non è venuto nessuno" ("nessuno" dopo il verbo → c'è "non") "Nessuno è venuto" ("nessuno" prima del verbo → niente "non") Stesso significato, due strutture diverse. Regola pratica da ricordare: o "non", o la parola negativa davanti al verbo. Mai tutti e due insieme. Una Differenza di "Sapore" Le due strutture non sono identiche al 100% nell'uso reale. Quando metti la negazione prima del verbo ("Nessuno è venuto", "Niente è cambiato"), la frase suona un po' più solenne, letteraria, da titolo di giornale. Quando invece usi la doppia negazione con "non" ("Non è venuto nessuno"), suona più naturale e quotidiana: è quella che useresti parlando con un amico al bar. Entrambe sono corrette, ma sapere questa sfumatura ti aiuta a scegliere il registro giusto. Errore n°3 — Sbagliare la Posizione di "Mai" con i Tempi Composti Questo è un errore sottile ma frequentissimo. Con i tempi composti, come il passato prossimo, la posizione naturale di mai, più, ancora, nemmeno non è alla fine della frase, ma tra l'ausiliare e il participio. Per ripassare la formazione di questo tempo, puoi consultare la guida sul passato prossimo e il participio passato. Da evitareNaturale"Non ho visto mai un film così bello""Non ho mai visto un film così bello" Altri esempi: "Non ho più avuto sue notizie." "Non è ancora arrivato." "Non ho nemmeno iniziato." Il "non" resta sempre davanti all'ausiliare, mentre la parola negativa si "incastra" prima del participio. Una volta che ci hai fatto l'orecchio, ti verrà automatico. E con i Verbi Modali? Stessa logica: la negazione si infila vicino al verbo coniugato, non all'infinito. "Non voglio più vederti." "Non posso mai uscire la sera." Il "più" e il "mai" si appoggiano al modale (voglio, posso), non all'infinito. Piccolo dettaglio, grande differenza nel suono naturale della frase. Errore n°4 — Confondere "Né… Né" con "O… O" Quando vuoi negare due cose insieme, in italiano devi usare né… né (con l'accento sulla "é"!), non o… o. Per approfondire l'uso, puoi consultare la guida su tutte le congiunzioni italiane. Da evitareCorretto"Non mangio o carne o pesce""Non mangio né carne né pesce""Mangio né carne né pesce""Non mangio né carne né pesce" Vale sempre la regola della posizione: se "né… né" sta dopo il verbo, ti serve il "non". Ma se "né… né" apre la frase, cioè sta prima del verbo, allora il "non" sparisce di nuovo (esattamente come nell'Errore n°2!): "Né Marco né Luca sono venuti." Dettaglio sull'accordo: quando il soggetto è "né X né Y", il verbo va quasi sempre al plurale ("Né Marco né Luca sono venuti"), anche se in altre lingue ti verrebbe naturale il singolare. Errore n°5 — Rispondere "Anch'io Non…" invece di "Neanch'io" Questo errore è subdolo, perché non è un errore di grammatica: "Anch'io non bevo caffè" è una frase corretta! Il problema è che come risposta di accordo a una frase negativa suona innaturale: nessun madrelingua risponde così. Per approfondire, puoi consultare la guida su come esprimere accordo e disaccordo in italiano. InnaturaleNaturale"Io non bevo caffè. – Anch'io non bevo caffè.""Io non bevo caffè. – Neanch'io!" Ricorda la differenza: anch'io risponde a una frase positiva → "Amo la pizza! – Anch'io!" neanch'io risponde a una frase negativa → "Non amo l'ananas sulla pizza. – Neanch'io!" Lo stesso vale con il complemento: "Non piace a me. – Neanche a me!" Estendiamo a Tutte le Persone Funziona uguale per tutti: "Lui non viene. – Neanche lei." "Non l'ho mai fatto. – Neanche noi." Nel parlato sentirai spessissimo espressioni colorite come "Neanche per sogno!" o "Neanche per idea!", che significano semplicemente "assolutamente no". Usale e suonerai subito più italiano. Errore n°6 — Sbagliare le Parole dopo "Senza" Ecco un errore che pochi insegnano. Dopo senza, in italiano si usano le parole negative niente e nessuno, NON qualcosa e qualcuno. Da evitareCorretto"È uscito senza dire qualcosa""È uscito senza dire niente""È partito senza salutare qualcuno""È partito senza salutare nessuno" E c'è un secondo trabocchetto, ancora più frequente: dopo senza NON devi aggiungere il "non"! Da evitareCorretto"È uscito senza non dire niente""È uscito senza dire niente" Perché? Perché senza è già di per sé una parola negativa: porta dentro di sé il concetto del "non avere / non fare". Per questo non ha bisogno di un altro "non" davanti. È un piccolo gioiello di logica della lingua: una volta che l'hai capito, non lo sbaglierai più. Errore n°7 — Fraintendere le Frasi tipo "Non Posso Non…" Ti ricordi che ti ho detto "in italiano le negazioni non si annullano"? Ebbene, c'è un caso magnifico in cui invece sì — e se non lo conosci, rischi di capire l'esatto contrario di quello che ti viene detto! "Non posso non ringraziarti" → significa "DEVO ringraziarti" (positivo!). "Non potevo non accorgermene" → "per forza me ne sono accorto". L'errore è proprio questo: senti "Non posso non aiutarti" e pensi "quindi non mi aiuta". Sbagliato! Qui le due negazioni cadono su due verbi diversi ("non posso" + "non ringraziare"), quindi seguono la logica matematica e si annullano, dando un senso affermativo. Nella concordanza negativa di prima, invece,...

    Astronomy Daily S05E152 — “Reading the Heat” · Tuesday 28 July 2026. Hosts Anna & Avery. NASA's Juno spacecraft has taken the first-ever temperature reading beneath the surface of Io, Jupiter's volcanic moon — and the technique behind it could reshape how we study icy ocean moons and even volcanoes on Earth. We also look at why JWST's “Little Red Dots” might be globular clusters being born, the first SETI search built from archived ALMA data (and its six-million-star surprise), and a live burst of space weather feeding into a meteor-filled — if Moon-washed — skywatch. In this episode ●        Juno reads Io's subsurface temperature for the first time — >20°C rise within a few metres, heat flow up to ~30× Earth's average, and a remarkably smooth, low-density surface. ●        Why the method matters: a multi-depth microwave thermometer that works from orbit — promising for Europa, Enceladus, and terrestrial volcanology. ●        JWST's “Little Red Dots” may be globular clusters in formation, powered by a short-lived supermassive star — linking two long-standing mysteries. ●        The first SETI survey of archived ALMA data opens the millimetre band — and reveals “stellar bycatch” of 6.1 million background stars. ●        Live space weather: an M3.2 flare from region AR4494 and a glancing CME, with G1–G2 storms and possible aurorae, north and south. ●        Skywatch: meteor week under the full Buck Moon (29 July), the Alpha Capricornid fireball tip, evening Venus, pre-dawn Saturn/Mars/Mercury — and Jupiter vanishing behind the Sun.

    Zeitgeist # 31 s archeologem Jan Bažantem o síle řecké mytologie, kultu krále Ithaky a věrohodnosti amerického snímku Odyssea(SPOILER ALERT! V 55. a 56. minutě je vyzrazen závěr filmu)V televizi pranýřují narcistního politika, na trzích prý zavládla panika, Spartu v zápase porazil AFC Ajax a v reklamní přestávce se vám snaží prodat nějaká afrodiziaka nebo bůhvíco z Amazonu. Je první středa v měsíci, tak v poledne raději zavřete okna kvůli sirénám...Odkazy na řeckou mytologii jsou všudypřítomné. Řecké báje si lidé vyprávejí tisíce let v mnoha verzích a jak dosvědčuje kasovní úspěch nového velkofilmu Odyssea režiséra Christophera Nolana, stále přitahují pozornost a budou se nejspíš v různých vlnách vracet i v budoucnu. Ale kde se tyto mýty vlastně vzaly? Jaký měly a mají smysl a jak se jeví poslední hollywoodské zpracování z pohledu klasického archeologa a znalce řeckých bájí, který sám navazuje na staré mýtografy? Jaké funkce mýty plnily a plní a jak to vlastně s Odysseem bylo dál po návraru na Ithaku? I o tom uslyšíte v dnešním Zeitgeistu s profesorem klasické archeologie Janem Bažentem z Centra klasických studií Filosofického ústavu AV ČR, který je mimo jiné autorem knihy Řecké mýty I.

    SCHEDULE FOR THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-24-20261940 BERLINJeff Bliss reports from Los Angeles, where Mayor Karen Bass's "Inside Safe" program faces scrutiny as figures show 41% of participants returned to homelessness. Encampments have expanded significantly, with Skid Row growing from five blocks to over 50. Bliss notes that organized crime cartels reportedly rent dilapidated RVs to the homeless, profiting from government stipends. Despite rising homelessness rates and disappointing results, local politicians are criticized for a lack of accountability and for fostering a "homelessness industry." (1)Jeff Bliss notes the Oakland Athletics are preparing for a move to Las Vegas, with high-profile investor Mark Cubanjoining as a minority owner to boost the franchise's profile. Development plans include a unique heart-shaped hotel on a previously failed ferris wheel site near the future stadium. Meanwhile, Hollywood faces "creative destruction" as Pixarinitiates layoffs despite box office success. Additionally, location shoot bookings in Los Angeles have dropped 13%, signaling a shift in the film industry. (2)Richard Epstein critiques the Smithsonian's "Many Voices, One Nation" exhibit for its "woke" portrayal of American history. He argues the exhibit unfairly reduces Benjamin Franklin to an "alleged racist" while ignoring his foundational contributions. Epstein highlights the complexity of figures like Thomas Jefferson, who authored the Declaration of Independence yet held restrictive views on immigration. The discussion underscores a perceived ideological mono-culture within the history profession that prioritizes narrative over factual nuance. (3)Richard Epstein analyzes the Trump administration's reintroduction of tariffs, now targeting allies like Australia and the EU under the guise of combating "forced labor." Epstein characterizes these moves as "lawfare" and "mindless isolationism," noting that these allies often have superior working conditions compared to the U.S. He warns that such policies alienate essential partners needed to counter global threats from Russia, Iran, and China, effectively driving allies to organize independently. (4)Jim McTague reports from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where Costco gas prices have reached $4.09, causing "mind-numbing" costs for residents. While some business slowdowns are noted, local diners remain full, supported by a robust retiree demographic with "deep pockets." The real estate market is exceptionally tight, with only 200 homes available as New Yorkers continue to bid up prices for high-quality housing. McTague concludes with observations on local tourism and his upcoming road trip to Kentucky. (5)Lorenzo Fiato reports Italy is battling severe wildfires in Sicily and Sardinia amid a prolonged heatwave. Fiato reports that Italians face exorbitant fuel costs, reaching $9.50 per gallon on motorways due to heavy taxation. To avoid over-tourism in cities like Florence, he recommends visiting Ascoli Piceno, the "town of the 100 towers," known for its travertine architecture. He concludes with culinary recommendations, including the traditional Spaghetti Ascolana paired with local Pecorino or Rosso Piceno wines. (6)Bob Zimmerman reports Rocket Lab has secured major Pentagon contracts for hypersonic test launches, potentially utilizing a remote new facility in Alaska. SpaceX is rumored to be planning a massive spaceport in Louisiana, while Northrop Grumman is successfully deploying robotic satellite-servicing pods. Conversely, Zimmerman criticizes "leftist governments" in the UK and Australia for stifling their domestic space industries with excessive red tape and "meaningless bureaucratic jargon," which forces young aerospace talent to seek opportunities abroad. (7)Bob Zimmerman highlights the "bankruptcy" of modern academia, citing a study where half of social science papers failed replication tests. He discusses an upcoming Falcon 9 rocket impact on the moon scheduled for August 5th and new data from the Juno mission revealing Io's subsurface temperatures. Additionally, scientists are investigating whether a suspected asteroid is actually a failed 1980s Soviet Mars probe, although Zimmerman remains skeptical of speculative theories involving alien technology. (8)Henry Sokolski examines a proposed deal to provide Saudi Arabia with nuclear power that has sparked intense proliferation concerns. While the Department of Energy initially signaled a "green light," the Trump administration later conditioned the agreement on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords. Sokolski warns that without "Additional Protocol" inspections, the kingdom could use the technology to develop a "bomb option." This follows the Crown Prince's 2018 assertion that Saudi Arabia would seek nuclear weapons if Iran acquired them. (9)Henry Sokolski continues: the Saudi nuclear deal remains "contradictory," with the White House and Department of Energy appearing out of sync. Media criticism reportedly prompted the president to demand a "quid pro quo"—Saudi recognition of Israel—to justify the proliferation risks. Israel remains in a difficult position; while desiring normalization, it privately opposes a Saudi nuclear program that could trigger a regional arms race. The deal's progress depends on whether it is submitted to Congress by late September. (10)Peter Huessy explains "extended deterrence," the U.S. nuclear umbrella protecting allies from aggression. Huessy critiques a proposal to delegate nuclear authority to a "three-key" system involving France and the UK, arguing it would create dangerous indecision during a crisis. He notes that allies increasingly doubt U.S. resolve. Strategy has shifted toward "counterforce" targets, aiming to disable an enemy's leadership and military capability rather than destroying cities, to provide "flexible response" options. (11)Peter Huessy notes Russia holds a 20-to-1 advantage over the U.S. in "theater" or tactical nuclear weapons, which Putinuses for "nuclear blackmail" to keep NATO out of the Ukraine conflict. Huessy argues the U.S. must deploy survivable, sea-based theater weapons to restore a credible deterrent. Reflecting on the realistic horror of the 1984 film Threads, he warns that even a single tactical exchange could rapidly escalate into a global catastrophe that ends civilization. (12)Captain James Fanell reports China is escalating physical violence against Philippine Navy personnel at Second Thomas Shoal, including "poking, prodding, and beating" sailors. Fanell explains this "petulant" behavior coincides with the 10th anniversary of a Hague ruling that invalidated China's maritime claims. Simultaneously, China and Russiaconducted joint live-fire drills in Japan's exclusive economic zone. These coordinated actions signal Beijing's intent to ignore international law and forcibly challenge the sovereignty of its neighbors. (13)Captain James Fanell reports China recently conducted its first submarine-launched ballistic missile test in the South Pacific in 40 years. Fanell reports that China has shifted to a "first use" nuclear policy and is completing its triad with the H-20 stealth bomber. He uses the "boiling frog" analogy to describe China's incremental aggression, warning that the U.S.must recognize these self-evident intentions before a "shot" is taken against regional forces or allies like Taiwan. (14)Conrad Black disputes Prime Minister Mark Carney's characterization of Canada as a "middle power," arguing the term is obsolete for a G7 nation with a larger economy than Russia. He critiques Carney's attempt to foster ties with China, noting China's "tatters" economy and history of disregarding trade agreements. Black maintains that Canada should prioritize its vital relationship with the U.S. while embracing a more ambitious and patriotic view of its global influence. (15)Veronique de Rugy argues autonomous vehicles like Waymo could reduce road fatalities by 94%, yet their adoption is stalled by opposition from trial lawyers and unions. Unions fear job losses for taxi, truck, and delivery drivers, though de Rugy argues automation historically transitions workers into higher-paying, less tedious roles. She emphasizes that driverless cars would provide life-changing accessibility for rural and elderly populations who currently lack reliable transportation options. (16)

    "Non è un paese per single" di Felicia Kingsley e "Io sono Adele" di Csaba dalla ZorzaUn'autrice da 4 milioni di copie con oltre 20 libri: parliamo di Felicia Kingsley, pseudonimo di una scrittrice italiana considerata una delle massime esponenti del genere Romance, nell'accezione della commedia romantica. Sono suoi romanzi come "Matrimonio di convenienza", che era stato il suo esordio nel 2017, "Due cuori in affitto", "Ti aspetto a Central Park" e "Non è un paese per single" (tutti pubblicati da Newton Compton) uscito nel 2022, ma che ora è tornato alla ribalta in una nuova edizione, in seguito al film che ne è stato tratto con la regia di Laura Chiossone, disponibile su Prime Video. "Non è un paese per single" è una sorta la riscrittura di "Orgoglio e Pregiudizio" di Jane Austen, ma è ambientato in Toscana ai giorni nostri. Siamo a Belvedere in Chianti ed Elisa, madre single, si occupa della tenuta vitivinicola Le Giugiole. Alla morte del conte Ricasoli, arriva dall'Inghilterra l'erede, il nipote Charles, in compagnia dell'amico Michael Darcy, amici di infanzia che Elisa non vede da anni. Elisa teme di perdere il lavoro che ama (lei adora prendersi cura delle vigne e produrre vino), ma la storia d'amore ovviamente è dietro l'angolo.Nella seconda parte parliamo del nuovo romanzo di Csaba dalla Zorza. Immaginate una donna con una vita di successo e che a 60 anni, però, decide di abbandonare Milano e trasferirsi in un paesino della Provenza per andare a servizio presso una famiglia benestante. Questa donna si chiama Adele Casagrande ed è la protagonista di "Io sono Adele" (Marsilio), secondo romanzo di Csaba dalla Zorza che aveva avuto un bel successo con il suo esordio "La Governante" dove già compariva il personaggio di Adele. Attraverso le attività manuali (lei ama lavare i piatti a mano) e il rapporto con gli oggetti, Adele riesce a ritrovare veramente se stessa.

    Con questo quiz imparerai a riconoscere gli errori nelle frasi italiane reali, quelli che anche gli studenti più avanzati fanno ogni giorno senza accorgersene. Riconoscere un errore è il primo passo per non rifarlo mai più. Quanti Errori Riesci a Trovare? Metti alla Prova il Tuo Italiano Le Regole del Quiz Prima di iniziare, tieni a mente queste semplici indicazioni. Leggi ogni frase e cerca l'errore da solo prima di leggere la spiegazione. Non tutte le frasi contengono necessariamente un errore — leggi con attenzione prima di rispondere. Sii onesto con te stesso: il risultato sarà tanto più utile quanto più è sincero. Per ogni errore trovato correttamente guadagni un punto. Alla fine scoprirai cosa significa il tuo punteggio. Le 6 Frasi del Quiz Frase 1 — Livello A1 (Principiante) Trova l'errore nella seguente frase: «Io hai un cane molto simpatico.» [...] Risposta: l'Errore È il Verbo "Hai" «Hai» è la seconda persona singolare del verbo avere — si usa con «tu». Ma la frase inizia con «io», quindi il verbo deve essere alla prima persona singolare: «ho». Vale la pena notare che in italiano il pronome soggetto si omette spesso, perché la desinenza del verbo è già sufficiente a capire di chi si parla. Quindi «ho un cane molto simpatico» è la forma più naturale. Usare «io» non è sbagliato — è semplicemente ridondante. Frase corretta: «Io ho un cane molto simpatico.» — oppure, più naturalmente: «Ho un cane molto simpatico.» Frase 2 — Livello A2 (Elementare) Trova l'errore nella seguente frase: «Ieri ho andato al supermercato con mia madre.» [...] Risposta: l'Errore È l'Ausiliare "Ho" «Andare» è un verbo di movimento intransitivo e in italiano richiede l'ausiliare «essere», non «avere». Quindi non si dice «ho andato» ma «sono andato» — o «sono andata» se chi parla è una donna. Capire quali verbi vogliono «essere» e quali «avere» al passato prossimo è una delle difficoltà più grandi per chi impara l'italiano. Una buona regola generale — non infallibile, ma utile — è che i verbi di movimento e di stato in luogo tendono a volere «essere». Frase corretta: «Ieri sono andato al supermercato con mia madre.» Frase 3 — Livello B1 (Intermedio) Trova l'errore nella seguente frase: «Dove hai messo le chiavi? Le ho cercate dappertutto ma non le ho trovate nessuna.» [...] Risposta: l'Errore È "Non le ho trovate nessuna" «Nessuna» è già di per sé un pronome negativo che esprime la negazione totale — da solo basta a dire che non è stata trovata neanche una chiave. Aggiungere il pronome clitico «le» prima è ridondante e agrammaticale: i due elementi si escludono a vicenda. La forma corretta usa il pronome «ne», che sostituisce «le chiavi» con valore partitivo. Questo è un errore classico, soprattutto per chi parla spagnolo o francese, dove strutture simili esistono. Frase corretta: «Dove hai messo le chiavi? Le ho cercate dappertutto ma non ne ho trovata nessuna.» Frase 4 — Livello B2 (Intermedio Superiore) Trova l'errore nella seguente frase: «I ragazzi si sono divertiti molto alla festa, anche se all'inizio sembravano annoianti.» [...] Risposta: l'Errore È "Annoianti" — Parola che Non Esiste «Annoianti» non esiste in italiano. Molti studenti la creano per analogia con «divertenti», ma il participio/aggettivo corretto è «annoiati» — dal verbo annoiarsi. Vale la pena tenere a mente la differenza: annoiati = le persone provano noia (stato d'animo) noiosi = le persone o le cose causano noia negli altri «I ragazzi erano noiosi» significherebbe che erano loro a fare annoiare gli altri — che probabilmente non è quello che si vuole dire. Frase corretta: «I ragazzi si sono divertiti molto alla festa, anche se all'inizio sembravano annoiati.» Frase 5 — Livello C1 (Avanzato) Trova l'errore nella seguente frase: «È necessario che tutti i dipendenti abbiano firmato il documento entro domani.» [...] Risposta: l'Errore È il Congiuntivo Passato "Abbiano Firmato" Il congiuntivo passato si usa per indicare un'azione già completata nel passato rispetto alla frase principale. Ma qui si parla di qualcosa che deve ancora succedere — firmare il documento entro domani è un'azione futura. Serve quindi il congiuntivo presente: «firmino». La distinzione tra congiuntivo presente e congiuntivo passato è una di quelle cose che a livello C1 fa davvero la differenza — non solo nella grammatica, ma nel significato. «Abbiano firmato» farebbe pensare che la firma dovesse già essere avvenuta, il che cambierebbe completamente il senso della frase. Frase corretta: «È necessario che tutti i dipendenti firmino il documento entro domani.» Frase 6 — Livello C2 (Quasi Madrelingua) Trova l'errore nella seguente frase: «Qualora avete bisogno di ulteriori informazioni, non esitate a contattarci.» [...] Risposta: l'Errore È l'Indicativo "Avete" dopo "Qualora" «Avete» è l'indicativo presente, ma «qualora» è una congiunzione ipotetica che in italiano vuole sempre il congiuntivo. È una di quelle congiunzioni — come «affinché», «sebbene», «benché» — che reggono obbligatoriamente il congiuntivo, senza eccezioni. «Qualora» si usa soprattutto nel registro formale e scritto — nelle email di lavoro, nei documenti ufficiali, nei contratti. Conoscere questa struttura permette di scrivere in italiano in modo davvero elegante e professionale. Frase corretta: «Qualora abbiate bisogno di ulteriori informazioni, non esitate a contattarci.» I Risultati del Quiz Conta i tuoi punti e scopri il tuo livello. PunteggioLivelloDescrizione0–2 puntiA1/A2 — PrincipianteStai costruendo le basi. Concentrati sulla coniugazione dei verbi e sulla scelta degli ausiliari — sono i fondamenti su cui si costruisce tutto il resto.3–4 puntiB1/B2 — IntermedioBuona padronanza delle strutture di base. Alcune regole più sottili ti sfuggono ancora, ma sei sulla strada giusta.5–6 puntiC1/C2 — AvanzatoIl tuo italiano è solido. Cogli anche gli errori più sottili — quelli che fanno la differenza tra un buon italiano e un italiano davvero preciso. Tieni presente che questo è un test orientativo, utile per avere un'idea generale del tuo livello di accuratezza grammaticale. Domande Frequenti Perché "Andare" Vuole "Essere" e Non "Avere" al Passato? In italiano i verbi intransitivi di movimento e di stato in luogo tendono a formare il passato prossimo con l'ausiliare «essere». «Andare» rientra in questa categoria. Una regola pratica è ricordare che con «essere» il participio concorda con il soggetto (sono andato/andata/andati/andate), mentre con «avere» rimane invariato. Qual È la Differenza tra "Annoiato" e "Noioso"? «Annoiato» descrive chi prova noia — è uno stato d'animo del soggetto. «Noioso» descrive invece chi o cosa causa noia negli altri. Dire «i ragazzi erano annoiati» significa che si annoiavano; dire «i ragazzi erano noiosi» significa che annoiavano gli altri. La confusione tra i due è molto comune tra gli studenti stranieri. Quando Si Usa il Congiuntivo Presente e Quando il Congiuntivo Passato? Il congiuntivo presente si usa quando l'azione della frase subordinata è contemporanea o successiva rispetto alla frase principale: «È necessario che firmino» (devono ancora farlo). Il congiuntivo passato si usa quando l'azione subordinata è già avvenuta prima del momento della frase principale: «È possibile che abbiano già firmato» (l'hanno già fatto). La scelta tra i due cambia completamente il significato della frase. Quali Congiunzioni Richiedono Sempre il Congiuntivo in Italiano? Le principali congiunzioni che richiedono obbligatoriamente il congiuntivo sono: «affinché», «sebbene», «benché», «nonostante», «quantunque», «qualora», «purché», «a meno che», «prima che». Memorizzarle come gruppo è il modo più efficace per non sbagliare. Perché "Non Lo So Se" È Sbagliato in Italiano? In italiano il pronome «lo» non può anticipare una frase interrogativa indiretta introdotta da «se». Con le interrogative indirette — frasi che esprimono una domanda o un dubbio in forma indiretta — il pronome va semplicemente omesso. La forma corretta è «non so se», senza alcun pronome prima. Questo errore è molto comune tra chi parla spagnolo («no lo sé si») o francese. Pronto a sfidare il tuo italiano su un altro fronte?

    This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. 01 Introduction In this episode I will describe techniques for downloading podcasts using basic shell commands such as wget. I will illustrate this using a bash script that can be used to download HPR podcasts. Even if you do not have any interest in downloading your podcasts using this method, you may find some of the methods useful or interesting. It is the principles that are discussed here that are important, rather than the implementation. 02 I realize that there are already a number of different podcast download programs available, including at least one written in bash. However, you may feel that none of these suit how you wish to do things and want to create your own system tailored to your specific needs. If so, then I hope the following is of some use to you. If not, then you may still find some of the things discussed here to still be of interest. Some of the subjects I cover include wget to a user defined file name. parsing xml with xmllint. using inotifywait to trigger an action when a file is created or modified. using notify-send to send a message to the notification area. and a way of allowing a cron job to send a message to the user interface. 03 Background There has been an ongoing discussion in comments to some HPR episodes about problems downloading HPR podcast episodes. Apparently some people have been experiencing problems with the way the episode URLs are structured. 04 I am afraid that I don't fully understand the nature of these problems, so I won't be addressing that problem directly. Instead, I will present a bash script that I have written which can be used to download HPR podcasts. This bash script can be run using cron to automatically fetch new HPR podcasts and save them to a designated directory. This is a simplified version of a script that I have used for years to download HPR and other podcasts. 05 I won't try to read the full bash script out in this podcast, as that would be a bit dull to listen to. I will instead describe what each section does and why I chose to do things that way. Perhaps other people can offer suggestions of better ways to do things. I will post the full bash script in the show notes. 06 Fetching Podcasts The standard way of distributing podcasts is to publish an RSS feed containing URL links to the audio files. RSS is a very long established and widely supported mechanism for this and other purposes. An RSS feed is basically an XML document which can be accessed over HTTP. These URLs contained in the RSS XML document can then be used to download the actual audio files, such as MP3 or OGG files. 07 Basically what we need to do is the following • Download the RSS XML document. • Extract the URL links to the audio files. • Compare the list of these links to a previously saved list to see which ones are new and which ones are ones that we previously downloaded. 08 • Make a list of the new URLs. • Go through this list of new URLs and download each of the new audio files. • Check to see that we actually received the new audio file. • Add the URLs of the files we successfully downloaded to our saved list of podcast URLs 09 In addition to this, we would like to have the above happen automatically in the background without our having to take any action on our own. We may wish to receive a notification of when a new podcast has arrived however. We would probably also wish to receive notification of any errors or failures. 10 Fetching Podcasts - The Preliminaries Our desire to be able to run the script automatically imposes some requirements on our solution. To schedule the script we will use cron. Cron is a Linux facility to run scripts on a schedule. 11 One of the side effects of using cron however is that we need to specify the full path to the locations where we intend to keep any data files, plus also the full path to where we intend to put the downloaded podcasts. 12 So the first thing we need to do in our script is to specify a number of different values for things like file location, the URL for the HPR RSS feed, and several other things as well. I will skip over the details of these, although I may make reference to them later. 13 Get the RSS Data The first thing of real substance to do is to fetch the current RSS feed data. I have put this in a bash function called getrssurldata The contents of this function are a one liner, but with a number of elements chained together through pipes. 14 Downloading the RSS XML Document • First we use wget, which is a standard command on most Linux distros. • We specify four things. • First we set a timeout. I have chosen 20 seconds. • Next we set the retry limit. I have chosen 3. 15 • Then we specify that the output of wget is sent to stdout rather than saved as a file. • This is done by using the -O option followed by a space and then a dash. • The O option is usually used to specify a file to save the output to, but when used with a dash causes output to go to stdout. • Then we specify the URL of the HPR RSS feed. 16 Contents of the XML Document This gives us the HPR RSS XML document. There are about 5,000 lines in this RSS document. Most of those lines are the show notes which are also included in the feed. 17 Extracting the Podcast Episode URLs There are only 10 lines of the document that contain information that we are interested in however. These lines are enclosed in "enclosure" XML tags. We just need to find those lines and separate out the URLs 18 Standard Command Line Tools There are two ways that we can do this. One is to use a combination of grep, sed, and cut. Grep can find the lines containing the enclosure tags. Sed and cut can extract the URL from the surrounding extraneous data. 19 However, this method does not discriminate between real enclosure tags in the data portion of the RSS feed and enclosure tags in the show notes which are included in the feed from episodes such as this one. This may be an acceptable problem in practical terms, but we can do better. 20 Using an XML Parser The other method is to actually parse the XML document. there are at least two command line XML parsers that I am aware of. These are "xmllint", and "xlmstarlet". I have used xmllint in this example. I have not used xmlstarlet, so I can't offer any comment on how easy or difficult to use it is. 21 I won't give a detailed explanation of all the things that xmllint can do. It has many features, most of which, as the name suggests, have to do with finding formatting problems with the XML itself. Describing everything it can do would be at least one episode in itself. I will instead just give the particular command used and explain each element of it. 22 In this example assume that we are piping the output of wget directly into xmllint. The complete command is xmllint --xpath "//channel/item/enclosure/@url" - | cut -d'"' -f2 23 In this example, xmllint is the name of the command. --xpath tells it to parse the document according to the string which follows. "//channel/item/enclosure/@url" tells it to find a series of tags in the hierarchy of channel, followed by item, followed by enclosure, and then extract the url attribute from the enclosure tag. The "-" which follows tells it to look for input from stdin rather than from a file. 24 The result is a string which has the url attribute name, an equal sign, and the URL that we want enclosed in quotes. To get just the URL itself, we pipe the output from xmllint into cut, using the doublequote characters as delimiters. We then save the result in a temporary file. 25 Finding the New Episodes Next we wish to find the new podcast episodes. Each HPR episode is identified by a unique URL. This means that if we save the URLs of episodes that we have already downloaded, we just have to look for the URLs that do not appear in this saved list. https://hub.hackerpublicradio.org/ccdn.php?filename=/eps/hpr4659/hpr4659.mp3 26 The easiest way to do this is to take our two lists of URLs, sort each into temporary files, and then compare the sorted URLs using the "comm" command. 27 This is simple, but has a drawback. Some podcasts occasionally change distributors. When they do this, the old podcasts are re-published with new URLs and you end up downloading a lot of old episodes over again. 28 With HPR we could get around this by extracting just the file name and looking for that instead of the full URL. I will however leave that problem as an exercise for the student and just accept that if the URL format changes we may end up downloading old episodes over again. Since the feed has a maximum of only 10 episodes in it however, that isn't really that big of a problem. It would be more of a problem with podcasts which have very large numbers of episodes in their feed, but the solutions to those will be feed specific. 29 Downloading the New Podcasts We should now have a list of URLs for the new podcasts we do not already have. Typically this should be only one file, but there could be several, or even as many as 10, if we have not turned on our computer in a while. Therefore, we need to iterate through the file of new podcast URLs and download each one. 30 Before we do that however, we should check to see if there is in fact anything new to download. To do this, simply use "wc -l" to count the number of lines in the list of new URLs and save the resulting number. 31 If this number is zero, there is nothing to download, we can skip the download step. As an additional check, we should see if the number of downloads exceeds some threshold value that we wish to set. This is not a major problem with HPR, but some podcasts have hundreds of files in their RSS feed rather than just the most recent ones. If we do exceed our download limit, then we need to log an error and skip downloading. 32 Assuming there are no problems so far however, the first thing we need to do is to extract the name of the audio file from the URL. We can do that using the "basename" command. We will use this to specify the name that we use when we save the audio file. 33 HPR has a very well formed file name. Some podcasts do not however, and for those you would need to construct some sort of suitable name either using information found in the URL or simply creating a name using a time stamp. 34 Next we download the audio file using wget. This is similar to how we downloaded the RSS feed, but with a few changes. One is that I have increased the timeout to 90 seconds. This may not have been necessary, but seemed like a good idea. 35 The next is that when specifying the output file name using -O, we use the file name we extracted from the URL. The third is that we specify a destination directory using the -P option. 36 After wget has finished, including any retries that it had to do, we next check that the expected new file is both present and not empty. We did this using an "if" statement with the "-s" option. If the file was found and not zero, then we add that URL to a temporary list of downloaded URLs. 37 If the file was not present, or was zero length, we output an error message to an error log. I will come back to this point later. 38 Next, if there is more that one podcast to download we sleep for 3 seconds. While not strictly necessary, it is considered to be "polite" to not hammer a server repeatedly, but rather to put a small delay between file downloads.. 39 After we have downloaded all the audio files in our list, we can add the list of URLs for the files downloaded to the permanent list. While we are at it, we should use "tail" to trim the permanent log to keep it from growing indefinitely. This limit should be several times bigger than the number of files in the RSS feed. In this case I selected 50. 40 Finally we write any errors to the permanent error log, and also write these same errors to another file used to signal errors for display to the user. We have now successfully downloaded at least one HPR podcast. 41 Notify the User of Events It would be convenient to be informed of new podcast downloads when they occur, and also be notified of any errors. One of the limitations of cron jobs is that they cannot access the user interface. This means that we cannot readily send a message directly to the notification system to inform the user of the presence of new podcasts or of errors. 42 inotifywait The solution to this is to use "inotifywait" to monitor particular files and directories for changes. The man page for inotifywait states the following - 43 inotifywait efficiently waits for changes to files using Linux's inotify(7) interface. It is suitable for waiting for changes to files from shell scripts. It can either exit once an event occurs, or continually execute and output events as they occur. End of quote. 44 In many Linux distros, inotifywait is provided by the "inotify-tools" package. I won't go over all the features of inotifywait. Instead, I will just describe how to use it for our purposes here. 45 inotifywait Modes I should point out first though that inotifywait operates in two different modes. In the normal default mode, it exits after being triggered by an event and must be re-established again in order to resume monitoring. In monitor mode, which is enabled by using the "-m" option, it runs indefinitely, responding to events. I will use the default mode here. 46 The man page for inotifywait provides a simple example that we could copy and modify for our purposes. A great many examples that you will find are based on this example. However, it doesn't quite do what we want, so we need to change a few things. 47 podfetchnotify The first shell script is one which monitors for the arrival of new podcasts and sends a notification to the user. I will call this "podfetchnotify". The complete scripts are in the show notes, I will just provide a brief description here. 48 Setting Up Event Watches Using inotifywait The script is enclosed in a while loop which run indefinitely. In the first line inside the while loop, we call inotifywait. inotifywait will then block until the event it is told to look for occurs. In short, execution of the script will wait there until an event occurs. 49 The names of the events are listed in the man file. In this case we are looking for "modify", "create", and "moved_to". Each of these does pretty much as you would expect, reacting to modifying an existing file, creating a new file, or moving a file to that directory. 50 Problems When Testing Using Text Editors I should point out that if you are testing a script which uses inotifywait, then modifying a file with a text editor may not produce the results that you may think it would. Instead it treats this as a new file with the same name, with the original file being erased. Since inotifywait attaches itself to the inode rather than the filename, it sees the file that the text editor changed as being a new file. If you wish to test this realistically, then use "echo" to overwrite the file by using I/O redirection. 51 Capturing Output In my example I capture the output from standard out into a variable, but I don't do anything with it. If you wish to for example display the name of the newly downloaded podcast file, then use the --format option along with an appropriate formatting code. There are details about this in the man page. On the next line we capture the exit code using "$?" 52 Responding to Exit Codes If the exit code was zero, then a monitored event was triggered and there should a new podcast in the directory. In this case we display a message indicating that a new podcast has arrived. I will describe how to send notifications shortly. If the exit code was not zero, then an error occurred. An example of such an error would be if the directory were not present when monitoring was started. In this case we display a message indicating that a fatal error has occurred and then exit. 53 Delay for More Podcasts Finally, we use "sleep" to wait for some arbitrary period of time to prevent notifications from being triggered multiple times if several podcasts were being downloaded in succession. In this case I chose to wait for 60 seconds. 54 We have now completed the process and can return to the top of the loop and resume waiting using inotifywait. 55 Sending Notifications to the User I mentioned above about sending notification messages to the user. In the Gnome desktop, notification messages appear from the centre of the top bar in a list. Other desktops or operating systems may have something similar. 56 To send a notification message to the notification area, you use the "notify-send" command. Simply follow notify-send with a quoted string and it will be displayed in the notification area. 57 podfetcherrornotify The second shell script is one which notifies the user of errors. I will call this "podfetcherrornotify". With this shell script we set up a watch on a file which contains any error messages from podfetch. This script is very similar to podfetchnotify. 58 The exceptions are With inotifywait we only monitor for "modify". There is no sleep command at the end of the loop. Instead we sleep for a few seconds just after getting the exit code from inotifywait. This helps prevent problems caused by race conditions. 59 Next we check the inotifywait exit code. If it was zero, then we read the error report file and send a notification message to the user containing that error message. 60 If it was not zero, then we check to make sure that the directory that should contain the error log exists. If it does not exist, then we send a notification message to that effect to the user and terminate the script. 61 If the directory exists, then we check to see if the error message file used for signalling exists. If the file does not exist, then we create it. 62 One of the reasons for an inotifywait error is that if the file that it is told to monitor does not exist, it cannot set up a watch condition. By creating the file we correct the cause of the error and allow inotifywait to operate normally. 63 Finally we increment an error counter and check to see if the limit is exceeded. If there are excessive errors, then send a notification message to the user and exit. The reason for this is to give the user an indication that the error notifications are not working for some reason and there may be a problem that needs looking into. 64 The error counter is reset every time the inotifywait exit status is ok, so occasional unexpected glitches should be something that is ignored. Of course podcast fetching errors are something that will probably happen only rarely if at all, so this final step may be seen as an unnecessary embellishment. 65 Installing the Scripts Next I will describe how to install and prepare the scripts to run. We need to perform the following steps. 66 • First, we need to create a directory to hold the scripts and their associated data files. • Next we need to create a directory to hold the downloaded podcasts. • Then we must copy the scripts to these directories and make them executable. • Then, we must edit the scripts to have the file path in the script match the locations of the new directories that we created. 67 • Then we need to install xmllint, or alternatively modify the download script to comment out the use of xmllint and enable the alternative method using grep and sed instead. • Then we need to run each script manually from the command line to check for errors. • If podfetch ran correctly, it should download the most recent 10 podcasts during this test. 68 Adding podfetch to the Crontab The above describes how to run the scripts manually. In order to fetch podcasts automatically, we need to add the podfetch script to the cron schedule. To do this, open a terminal. 69 Type "crontab -e", and then press return. A text editor should open up containing the crontab file. On Ubuntu, this editor is GNU nano. Enter the appropriate cron parameters. I will provide an example here for running it 12 minutes past the hour every three hours. 70 12 */3 * * * /home/username/pathtofiles/podfetch.sh 71 I won't explain cron in detail here. The example that I have just given should be good enough for most people. The "*/3" parameter will cause it to run every three hours. The "12" parameter will cause it to run 12 minutes past the hour when it does run. 72 Checking every three hours should be good enough for most people, but you can adjust that as you see fit. I would recommend however that you don't check more frequently than once per hour. Checking more frequently than necessary puts extra load on the distribution servers. It is very unlikely that you really do need each new episode the moment it is available. 73 I would also recommend changing the "12" parameter to some other random minute value. I would suggest avoiding on the hour or on the half hour, as a lot of other people are probably checking at those times, and it would be better to spread the load out more evenly over time. 74 The file path parameter should of course match the actual path to wherever you have located the script, including the correct user name. 75 Making the Notification Scripts Start Automatically The two notification scripts can be made to start automatically. The exact method to do this may vary according to distribution or desktop. 76 On Ubuntu this is done using the Startup Applications Preferences GUI program, which should come already installed. 77 I won't go into details on this here, it should be fairly self evident how to use it once you see it. What this program does is to create ".desktop" files in the ".config/autostart" directory in your home directory. 78 These ".desktop" files are all run automatically on start up. Once you have added the notification scripts, you will need to log out and then log back in to make them active. 79 Conclusion I this episode I explained how to write a set of simple shell scripts to automatically download each new episode of HPR as it comes out and to notify you of its arrival. 80 The download script described here is tailored specifically for use with HPR only. However, it was derived from a larger script that downloaded other podcasts as well, based on information read in from a text file. If you are feeling ambitious, you can add those features back into this to handle all of the podcasts that you listen to. 81 In a comment to another episode of HPR I had said that I would cover ID3 tags in MP3 files, but this episode is long enough now, so I will leave that subject for later.

    In this episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with Dr. Andre Cap to unpack the evolving role of calcium in trauma resuscitation. What started as the “new hotness” in forward blood transfusion protocols has become far more nuanced. They discuss the dangers of both hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia, how citrate in all blood products binds ionized calcium, cardiac effects, recent observational data showing worse outcomes with hypercalcemia, and practical guidance for when, how, and how much calcium to give in austere and prolonged field care environments.Whether you're running a Role 2, working prolonged field care, or just trying to keep your patient alive until definitive care, this episode challenges long-held assumptions and offers field-practical recommendations.Key Takeaways:All blood products contain citrate, which binds ionized calcium — expect hypocalcemia with significant transfusion.Both hypo- and hypercalcemia are bad; recent data shows hypercalcemia is associated with worse mortality than hypocalcemia.Current TCCC guidance (1g calcium after first unit) was written to fix under-use; it may now be too aggressive in some scenarios.Give calcium after blood products, not before. Consider waiting until after 2+ units in most cases.Slow IV push (over ~5 minutes) through a confirmed good peripheral line; calcium chloride is a vesicant — use caution (gluconate is safer).Avoid calcium chloride via IO if possible. Titrate to clinical response when monitoring isn't available.In refractory shock you can give more, but don't give calcium as a standalone resuscitation drug — it can be harmful without volume replacement.Ideal future state: Bring i-STAT capability forward when feasible and get better RCT data.Perfect for medics, PAs, physicians, and anyone managing hemorrhagic shock in austere environments.Links:⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠ | @prolonged_field_carePodcast Chapters (with Timestamps):00:00 – Intro & Welcome00:39 – Why Calcium Became “The New Hotness” in Trauma Care01:18 – The Joint Trauma System Audit That Started It All03:46 – Citrate in Every Blood Product – The Science Behind the Bind05:44 – Why We Actually Care: Cardiac Repolarization, Contractility & Vascular Tone08:49 – Hypocalcemia vs Hypercalcemia in Trauma Patients10:21 – Shocking New Data: Hypercalcemia Carries Higher Mortality13:14 – TCCC Guidelines – After First Unit?

    A fidgety fuel problem, octane ratings, and water in the oil are on tap for this episode. Email podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to be on the show. Join the world's largest aviation community at aopa.org/join Full notes below: Gareth has a turbo Arrow and he's been fighting a problem with fluctuation fuel flow. Sometimes the engine quits on the ground or runs rough in the air. They've checked the fuel spider, fixed intake leaks, overhauled the fuel pump, an exhaust leak, and much more. Paul is convinced that air is entering the system or there is a vapor issue. He suggests checking the heat shields near hot parts of the engine, etc. Mike suggests that it could be related to upper deck pressure, which controls the aneroid in the fuel pump. Matt wonders if fuel octane impacts timing. He has a Cessna 150 and is running autogas, and he's wondering if his ignition timing should be changed to accommodate a difference in octane. Paul said the airplane was certified with 80 octane, so it's fine to keep the timing as it is. Scott is wondering about an alternative to safety wire. A company called Bergen makes a safety wire alternative and he's wondering if it's legal to use on FAA certified airplanes. Mike said even if the company doesn't say it's FAA certified that it would almost certainly be a minor alteration, and therefore at the discretion of the installing mechanic. Paul uses them in certain applications and likes them. Scott has a IO-540 on a Socata Trinidad and was about to overhaul his engine, but found Mike's maintenance philosophy. He's now at 2,300 hours and counting. Everything looks good except that water occasionally shows up in his oil analysis, and he's struck out finding help through his mechanic. The water is a byproduct of the combustion process. When you shut down the crankcase is full of steam, and that steam then condenses into water. You can help keep that water down by taking off the oil cap after shutting down, or by hooking up an engine dehumidifier. Scott flies about 100 hours a year evenly spread out, and he lives in a dry environment, so the hosts agree the dehumidifier probably isn't necessary.

    https://spacescoop.org/en/scoops/2609/why-does-jupiter-have-bigger-moons-than-saturn/ Hosted by our editor, Richard Drumm. Jupiter and Saturn are the gas giants in our Solar System. Ummm… Uranus & Neptune are now called ice giants. But back to Jupiter & Saturn. They are the largest planets, have the most moons compared to the other planets, and if that isn't cool enough, they're home to some of the largest moons in the Solar System. Saturn has 280 or more moons in total, a total that seems to be changing daily. Jupiter has over 100 known moons so far.  As for me, I don't even try to keep count any more.   Here's where things get really interesting: Jupiter has four big moons, including Ganymede, the biggest one in the whole Solar System. Jupiter's Galilean moons from closest to farthest are Io, Europa, Ganymede & Callisto.    The first 3 are in a 1:2:4 orbital resonance with Io making 4 orbits, Europa 2 and Ganymede 1. It's been calculated that Ganymede & Callisto were in a 7:3 resonance a couple million years ago but are slipping toward a 6:3 which is a nice, stable 2:1 resonance. Callisto will likely fall into that resonance in a billion and a half years making the system 1:2:4:8. Nice & stable.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
