I love mosh, but do note it's a lot slower than plain ssh. I run everything through a 266x188 tmux session, and mosh badly struggles to keep up even with light use. Resizing panes is juddery, vim is visibly laggy, and if anything s

Version 20050409-21. Ouch. Maybe rxvt-uncode and an X server would be a better option. 256 colour terms, unicode, proper bitmap font support, and not been dead for 8 years.

What, all because of a fullscreen start menu? Start8 lets you configure it to open in a smaller popup overlay if you'd prefer. Or indeed have an old Windows 7 style menu instead.

Yes, hence wanting to know if it's included in 8.1 preview as it has been in the leaked prerelease. http://www.winbeta.org/news/leaked-windows-blue-build-9369-h...

Can anyone confirm whether or not this includes ReFS support? That's probably more important to me than any other feature 8.1 could possibly offer, having encountered silent data corruption just a few months ago (thanks, WD).

Puma ( http://puma.io/ ) is multithreaded, but only JRuby and Rubinius support concurrent execution - standard MRI/YARV have a global VM lock just like Python.

A slow dynamic bytecode-interpreted globally VM-locked language running a massive completely-overkill framework is only 10x slower than a statically compiled natively concurrent language running a tiny microframework? I'd say that&#x2

Only (significantly) on the compression side. Decompressing is about the same whether you used 0 or 9.

The crypto on your online backup and password syncing services should be both strong and entirely client-side. All they should be able to provide to an attacker is useless cyphertext. If not, you probably shouldn't have been using sa

Cyphertite may also be of interest: https://www.cyphertite.com/ Client-side encryption and deduplication, with source code. 8GB free, $10/mo for personal unlimited use, 10c/GB/month for business/enterprise. My main reservations are they

Don't forget the redundancy, too. Bit awkward having to explain to your users why you randomly lose a couple of percent of their data every year.

Going out of my way would be switching browsers when I'm happy with the one I've used since 2001. I use Chrome for flash and video because its architecture grants it a good bonus in responsiveness, but that comes at a high cost in memory co

You'll claw Misc Fixed SemiCondensed 6x13 out of my cold dead hands. Nothing beats a good bitmap font for crisp rendering at smaller sizes. http://i.imgur.com/afWazoB.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_(typeface) http://www.cl.cam.

I've been running an old Supermicro 8-port MV88SX6081-based card on FreeBSD+ZFS since about 2008 - never had a problem. Same controller was used by Sun in their venerable 48-drive X4500 "Thumper" servers, too. Not sure that's entirely relev

You're talking about startup time, which is bad in this case because of the overhead Rubygems introduces by adding loads of directories to the require load path. Pre-rubygems, everything lived in a traditional $PREFIX/lib/ruby/{,site-ruby/

Sinatra and Padrino are some of the more common Ruby alternatives, especially for smaller sites.

Weird font rendering on this site - the glyphs are very distractingly blobby. Increasing or decreasing the zoom level helps a lot if anyone's finding it similarly unreadable.

It uses a mix of graphical tiles and text, it's not all just an array of unicode. They're sufficiently decoupled now that you can have most text rendered nicely using truetype fonts alongside whatever graphics set you're using.

Unfortunately these days it's either painfully slow or painfully expensive. Individual disks have been able to outpace GigE for years, even ignoring SSDs and modest RAID configurations, and 10GigE isn't exactly sprinting full pelt into the

Well, the main distinction of note would be whether or not they're cryptographically secure, which (despite being much slower) Linux /dev/urandom isn't?
