That's actually a fairly common setup, known as a LackRack [0], although this one seems to be a different size/model, but maybe that's my eyes playing tricks on me. Edit: actually now that I look back at it I'm almost po

I used to work at a consulting firm called EfficiOS[0], specialized in OS and application efficiency and performance. They maintain the LTTng[1] kernel and userspace tracers and related tools, and offer training. I'm not sure whether t

Which companies, if any, in the anti-virus business would you not consider as "snake oil vendors"? I'm genuinely curious, I haven't had to deal with Windows systems for so long, I'm not well acquainted with AVG and

I read an article about the similarities and differences between data art and data visualisation a short while back (couple of weeks?), but I really can't seem to find it right now. Mike Bostock's visualisations, though very visua
