Virtualization costs something and the goals of any design should be to balance that cost against the benefits. I've designed systems that have crazy low-latency and high QPS needs and nothing beats bare metal for these systems. That

GitHub repo https://github.com/makeandbuild/ibeaconSearch I've been experimenting a lot in this area but this is one of the first examples I've seen of using Swift to interact with iBeacons.

Sorry but that's like saying building a nuclear power plant to power your christmas tree in your apartment is a good idea. I agree it can be nice to learn these things but in a mission critical environment you should focus your time o

Mc Donald's has ran several ads where the logo was in the center for a full 30 seconds so when you fast forward on a DVR you still see the logo as you fast forward. I imagine this ad will play on tv and again when you fast forward on

The slashdot[1] effect has been around for a long time. Auto mirroring would be nice but at the same time it leaves a lot of open questions about content ownership, ability of the content owner to edit, monetize etc. The New York Times wou

We've all been talking about "The Semantic Web" for a very long time. I would love to be proven wrong but it all reminds me of EDI[1] which for more then 30 years has tried to develop standards around data formats. I think

But the current version is just an imaged coded on the fly and compressed on the fly.. It's burning CPU for no real reason. If you want flexibility for future you can use a CDN path that includes options you want and later could switch

Why a service? Seems the images are static coded from 0 to 100 and could easily just be a CDN reference rather then burning a service on every hit? URL/progress/1.png .. 100.png done.. :)

Not less then one column character borders.. It has to burn a column to create borders.. And a couple of other laggy issues.. I need to play with tmux more but when on a bunch of different machines going iTerm straight to the box and using

Modern MBP's have two thunderbolt plugs.. Thunderbolt to DVI to two Dell U2412M's makes for a nice dev environment if you spend a lot of time in terminals.

Booting a Linux install disk is my favorite way to use a Windows machine.. ;-) Just kidding, I love PuTTY in windows but it's not my favorite emulator. I actually enjoyed Centry Term's TinyTERM [1] but I have a feeling that is WAY

I'm in a shell most of my day when not in meetings. I love being able to have a nice full screen with vertical and horizontal splits (Cmd-D or Shift-Cmd-D) with thin lines between each split. Also iTerm helps me keep my hand off my m

I love iTerm, couldn't live without it.. To me Terminal.app isn't much better then PuTTY on Windows. That said I'm a bit worried when I read stuff like "manipulate the pasteboard remotely" and "performed when t

In the old days I've done this using lsof -p PID and looking at where the files are in relationship to their size. If you have a long running process lsof can be a wonderful tool to figure out how it's doing.

I've done quite a bit of iBeacon stuff including emulating them with Raspberry Pi's and writing an iOS app that measures the OS behavior against iBeacons. It's pretty interesting stuff, there are a couple of my beacon's

iBeacon includes the device transmitting a clabirated signal transmission strength in each packet so the phone can do a calculation against the RSSI and the power the device claims to transmit at. With this information you can be much more
