Just in case you're not aware, here are some other options: btsync ( http://getsync.com ) works well with at least 500GB of photo-sized files. git-annex works well for large collections. I am using this for my own photo coll

FUSE is definitely the way to go with file synchronization, since the system will never miss a write, and can lazily load data for reads. It means that the entire filesystem doesn't have to fit on every machine that's synced. Fo

I think this is just a work-around for the sloppiness of the web. If all the resources for a page were compiled into a single file and sent all at once, this wouldn't be necessary, but that'd be inefficient to for subsequent page

The webm video container live-streams fantastically well. It's just the MP4 container that is broken and doesn't live-stream. Note that if you put H264 in an MPEG2-TS container that it will stream fine as well, but unfortunately

How often does this come up in consumer environments? 6 gpbs could be faster than the NAND flash, for both read and write. 4K video is only going to be 100mbps or maybe double that, for consumers. I guess what I'm asking is what use

Virtualization does offer additional security if it's used to isolate things that otherwise would have been running on the same host. For example, at my old job we used OpenVZ to isolate wordpress, twiki, and roundcube, whereas histor

If it already supports CSV then hacking in a working MySQL backend might not be too difficult. I've gotten a lot of mileage out of `ssh dbserver mysql -b -e \'select * from pants where ...\'` in nagios and munin scripts.

I've been using a chromecast + an HDMI audio splitter as a cheap way to stream. It works really well for apps that support chromecast, such as pandora.

If you're using Debian in a business environment, try upgrading a copy of your staging environment to Jessie to see what problems you encounter, so that they can be fixed before release. If you're using it on your desktop or home

Last time I looked at getting a standing desk for my office at home, I decided it'd be cheaper to get a third monitor and a second keyboard and mouse. They would go on a permanently-standing-height desk next to my regular desk. In lin

The recent update that moved Google Voice into Hangouts [1] has made that a reality for me. My phone took a swim a week ago and so I've been using a Nexus 7 as a temporary phone. The only thing missing is that I had to set up my launc

Can someone help my ignorance? I understand the appeal of automatic parallelization, but what is the advantage to creating your own chip? It seems to me that this is a translation that could be done in software either at runtime or at com

It's not a big deal, because you can automate it. As long as the patch applies cleanly (and it almost certainly will if the only vendor changes are security updates), it's going to be a pretty smooth process. You'd need to t

The economics still work out, unfortunately. It's really, really cheap to send spam, so it only takes a small fraction of a percent of people who click for it to work out. Also, not everyone has the same level of spam filtering as you

The more flexibility a language gives you in the order you place your code, the better it is for literate programming. If you haven't seen it yet, check out the source code to coffeescript. Here is the source file: https://

This is interesting because even though it doesn't mention it, it seems the same technique would have worked for the current ebola outbreak.

I remember that there was another neighborhood with streets named after countries in Santiago, in La Cisterna. Also there is a street named "Central America" that splits into two, one named "North America" and the other

This is called intrusion detection, and there are a number of ready-made products that do it more efficiently. For an example, see tripwire. This will easily handle /Applications/. On first run it gets a hash of all the files, a

A business like JPMorgan will have a large number of systems, with different segments of their data copied around, synchronized (sometimes poorly), partial data dumps to the marketing department, etc. I imagine that the systems containing

I think I'd use a most-significant-digit radix sort in real life. Radix sort doesn't require comparisons, instead you examine the first digit and drop into one of 10 buckets. You then recurse on each bucket. I think that'd b

Being able to rewrite a small section of ruby code in C is a great way to speed up some types of manipulations. This has yielded me two magnitudes of speedup multiple times in my career so far. Here's an example using RubyInline, whic

Something is wrong with their pricing, since a server with twice the RAM, bandwidth, and disk is $5/mo. It's too bad you can't combine two or more of these $1 servers in order to get just the right amount of VPS. This low pr

It is irresponsible, but I think you're overstating the risk. This looks like footage from a gopro (due to the wide angle shots). This only requires a small drone to carry, like the DJI Phantom. The total weight for the phantom and

This would be fantastic for disaster situations if coupled with the right software. If the radios can speak on unlicenced spectrum, it'd open up even more possibilities. For example, you could have a "cellular" connection o
