That's awesome! Now I want that on my phone so i have a real tricorder. ;) A random example of things you can get from there is the 3CAT-2 satellite which has a "magnetometer", "reflectometry" which includes targets

one thing i wish git would do would be to allow me to specify default options for certain aliases. for example, I quite like the `--short --branch` format of git status. but I can't do this: [alias] status = "status -sb&q

you can send cash over snail mail, who needs the internet anyways? heck, you can transfer huge piles of cash with paper checks, which cost around 75¢ around here, try to beat those kind of fees...

You are assuming they need help. It seems to me they are doing fine. Whatever your thing will run on, will it still work in another 30 years? Our hardware is so flaky that everyone in the industry is depreciating at 3-5 years or less. Sure,

i often wonder why "free downloads" often mean "PDF" while ePUB needs to be paid for... in my case, it is certainly less convenient to have a PDF because i use an e-reader, but everyone has tablets these days that read P

Those are the rate limits, as far as I understand them: * 100 Names/Certificate (how many domain names you can include in a single certificate) * 5 Certificates per Domain per week * 500 Registrations/IP address per 3 hours * 300

this is pretty significant; so far the only git presence of Python was a "semi-official readonly mirror" on github: https://github.com/python/cpython now does this mean that Python will completely switch away

it would be great if you would share how you did that, because there may be other cities and countries than NYC and the UK... ;) so far i've only used google maps PDFs but that sucks. i've also had good experiences with offline Ga

for tomahawk, the RFP is coming along nicely: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=649287 not sure how this relates with the parent though...

surprised to not find attic/borg in those benchmarks. rar, zip and obnam are not exactly known for being fast backup software... still, quite interesting project!

TL;DR. What's the takeaway?

glances (which i just discovered recently) is pretty awesome, definitely something i'll try out more next time i need something similar. dstat i already knew about, somehow forgot it in the listing, definitely a must as well.

htop is useful, but i find it doesn't add enough on top of top to justify changing my hand-wired reflexes to add that "h". it's often not installed everywhere either, so the top habit remains.

iptraf doesn't work on FreeBSD, unfortunately, but it is a great tool.

can you be a little more specific?

that's a pretty awesome summary. to that i would add: * `iftop` that allows me to quickly check which network streams are hogging the machine (this is a little like sar -n DEV 1 but much more detailed!) * `tcpdump -c 100 -vv`- poor man

this is pretty awesome, if/when it ever picks up. the possibilities of this far surpass just the basic "what's the traffic jam today" of personnal use cases. by making such data publicly available, it can influence signi

it looks like there's a bunch of stuff out there that this doesn't find. it seems limited to specific silos like github and so on. the debian code search, on the other hand, has access to all software shipped with debian: https:&

this reminds me of http://ipfs.io/ although IPFS doesn't run natively in the browser (it's a go app) and has much wider objectives (ie. the whole web site is loaded from the swarm, not just specific media object

it's an interesting project! you may want to take a look at git-annex as well, which also uses git and ssh (and rsync) to synchronize things but also supports large files. you would need to run a daemon on both ends to get inotify-like

why is it going west now? update: there's a bad weather front on the way to Hawai, so the pilot is holding his position.

actually, i use LaTeX to write and it doesn't solve one of the issues identified in the linked article, namely the distraction of formatting. I spent way too much time trying to make LaTeX work just right: a bullet here, footnotes ther

i have been testing this tool for a few weeks now and we are deploying it in production now. the biggest problem that remains for us is the lack of integration with Twitter (on which we still need to do manual updates) and lack of caching w
