Napoli's home advantage at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona makes them strong contenders. Inter Milan's defensive struggles could play into Napoli's hands. We predict a high-scoring affair with Napoli securing a win. Betting on Napoli to win both halves might be a wise choice.
Roma vs. Lazio

Tactical Formation: 4-3-3 vs. 3-5-2
The classic 4-3-3 formation emphasizes width and attacking fluidity, often used by teams like Napoli and Juventus. In contrast, the 3-5-2 setup focuses on defensive solidity while allowing wing-backs to contribute offensively. Teams like Atalanta frequently employ this formation to balance defense and attack effectively.
Middle Third Dominance
Mastery of the middle third is crucial in Serie A. Teams that control possession in this area can dictate the pace of the game and create scoring opportunities. Analyzing how teams transition from defense to attack provides insights into their overall strategy and effectiveness.

I am currently reading [C++ Concurrency In Action](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1617291786/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1617291786&linkCode=as2&tag=leoszkula01-20) book by Anthony Williams (currently available only in hardcover). I am very impressed by this book so far.
I was looking for a good book about concurrency before I started my current project (web crawler) which uses concurrency heavily (I plan to write about it soon). I tried several books but none was quite right - they were either too theoretical (The Art Of Multiprocessor Programming), not practical enough (C++ Concurrency In Practice), too verbose (Parallel Programming), or just not good (Effective Concurrency). After reading C++ Concurrency In Action I finally found what I was looking for.
The book is very well written - it has nice examples which are easy to understand even if you are not familiar with concurrency yet (like me). It covers many aspects of concurrency including synchronization primitives like mutexes (which are implemented using futexes under Linux), lock-free programming techniques (lock-free queues), memory models (atomics) etc.
One thing that surprised me was that Anthony Williams decided not to use Boost libraries - instead he implemented everything himself (except `std::thread`). I think it was good decision because it shows how things work under the hood.
Another thing that I liked about this book is that it doesn't try to teach everything about concurrency at once - instead it introduces new concepts gradually so that reader doesn't get lost.
Overall I highly recommend this book if you are interested in learning more about concurrency in C++. If you are already familiar with concurrency then this book might not be as useful but still worth reading.<|file_sep|># My Personal Blog

Since upgrading my Macbook Pro from Yosemite to El Capitan I had problems building some C++ projects from source because they rely on pkg-config.
After searching for some time I found out that there is no `pkg-config` package available via Homebrew anymore so it needs to be installed manually.
Here is how I fixed it:
bash
# Download latest pkg-config source code
curl -O http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.29.tar.gz
# Extract downloaded archive
tar xf pkg-config-0.29.tar.gz
# Enter pkg-config source directory
cd pkg-config-0.29
# Configure build environment
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
# Build pkg-config package
make
# Install pkg-config package system-wide
sudo make install
# Fix permissions so that other users can use it as well
sudo chown root /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
sudo chmod g+w /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
After these steps pkg-config should work again.<|repo_name|>szkula/szkula.github.io<|file_sep|>/_posts/2016-04-19-packet-sniffer.markdown

Today I decided to write my own packet sniffer application using raw sockets.
I started by searching for information about raw sockets but most examples were written either in C or Java so I decided to write my own application using C++.
Here is what my packet sniffer looks like:
It captures packets sent over network interface `eth0` using raw sockets then parses them according to [Ethernet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_frame) frame structure.
You can download source code from [GitHub](https://github.com/szkula/packet-sniffer) repository.<|repo_name|>szkula/szkula.github.io<|file_sep|>/_posts/2016-04-24-my-cpp-style-guide.markdown

As part of my learning process when writing C++ programs I decided that I need some sort of style guide which will help me maintain consistency across my projects.
So here it is - my personal C++ style guide.
## Naming Conventions
* Class names start with uppercase letter.
* Member variables start with lowercase letter.
* Function names start with lowercase letter.
* Constant variables are prefixed with `k`.
* Typedefs use CamelCase naming convention.
* Global variables are prefixed with `g`.
* Namespace names are prefixed with `ns`.
* Namespace aliases are prefixed with `alias`.
* Type aliases are prefixed with `type`.
## Code Style
* Use spaces instead of tabs.
* Indentation level should be equal to four spaces.
* Use curly braces even if they are optional.
* Put opening curly brace at end of line.
* Put closing curly brace at beginning of line.
* Put semicolon at end of line.
* Put space between function name declaration keyword (`void`, `int`, etc.) but not after it.
* Put space between function name declaration parameters but not after last parameter.
* Put space around assignment operator (`=`).
* Put space around binary operators (`+`, `-`, `*`, `/`).
* Put space around unary operators (`!`, `~`, `-`).
* Put space before comma (`,`) separating function parameters.
* Put space before opening parenthesis (`(`) if used as prefix operator.
* Put space after opening parenthesis (`(`) if used as prefix operator.
* Put space after comma (`,`) separating array index parameters.
* Do not put space before closing parenthesis (`)`).
* Do not put space before comma (`,`) separating array index parameters.
* Do not put space between pointer/dereference operator (`->`) operands.
* Do not put space between address-of operator (`&`) operand.

Today I decided that I want Vim editor look nicer so here is what I did:
1) Download [Solarized Dark theme](http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized/vim-colors-solarized) from Ethan Schoonover website.
2) Copy `vim-colors-solarized/colors/*.vim` files into `.vim/colors` directory.
3) Add following line into `.vimrc` file:
viml
syntax enable " Enable syntax highlighting
set background=dark " Use dark background colorscheme
colorscheme solarized " Use Solarized colorscheme
Now Vim editor looks much better!
