My group is about to start using Aspera as well.. I too wish there was a good alternative I could suggest to my bosses. And I'm still skeptical of their claims... but I haven't gotten to test it over an actual bad link yet (over a

The linked article made this claim, so it's perfectly fine to debunk it here.

Excellent job! I wanted to run the native copy for comparison, but it turns out you added support for the demo files yourself! Gah!

Something I noticed with my local Kroger delivery service, is that most of the items have a silent markup through the delivery service! So like, maybe tomatoes are 0.69/pound in the store, but the same tomatoes are $1.30/pound thr

Building the MFT first is pretty much what I want to do. But I'm not aware of any utilities that can handle it, nor where to start with writing it myself... I have a project where I routinely need to copy large amounts of data (3 to 8

So does anyone know of a way to take a set of files and write them to an HDD, in NTFS or exFAT format, in a single sequential write? Essentially building the FS on-the-fly (because we're talking about datsets that are much too large to

Very interesting! I was going to propose that maybe this is why watching sports (including esports) is not something I am the least bit interested in. I was going to say, maybe my brain doesn't work like it's supposed to... but

Yep, same here. I've got a "DJ" in the US, but also a guy in India. The Indian guy is always getting legal threats for not paying his phone bill.. I feel a bit bad that he's not even getting the emails, but I have no ide

Wooah careful there buddy, using the word "revenge" is not legal in my jurisdiction, and you just published it here by placing it on the internet!

lol this is the original Dunning-Kruger paper.. why is it news now?

Fucking finally! I've been following this bug for at least 5 years. 5 years ago, when it was first proposed, this could have been a big deal. Not sure these days.. but I sure would love to see GIFs disappear..

What is the cutoff point? When does something become political? This post might be easy to classify, but what if it were something else, like "Trump imposes 20% tariff on all online services." Would we be allowed to discuss that?

Seriously! The video even cuts out before it gets to the actual "sweet spot".. this basically couldn't get any worse.

So, he never actually said it was a cumulative failure curve. I'll admit a graph of the probability of failure per year (non-cumulative) may be less expected, but doesn't necessarily indicate an error on the authors part. And the

True. It also wouldn't exist if people didn't rm -rf /. There are good things that come from treating everything as a file.

Actually, if you watch any of the various hearings and what-not that he's been in, talking about his plans (and previous attempts) to preserve net neutrality, I think it was pretty clear he was on the right track all along. Surprising,

Yep. I'm a 30 year old bearded man. It said it was 99.7% sure I'm a 47 year old woman. At least it got my race right! Though it was only 77% sure of that.

I'm not sure about this guy's list of issues with virtualenv. Point 1 (he forgets to activate it) is not an issue at all. You could forget to "activate" your docker too. Point 3 (he doesn't want to run it in product

Interesting article.. but I'd be careful about scraping anything from iTunes. This could easily be classified as wire fraud in the US (and there is already precedent with someone being convicted).

I thought he was in jail and his equipment had been taken, not to be returned for months? I haven't heard any updates on that lately.. Anyone know?

Interesting. I saw the link here, but somehow never noticed it on Reddit (I'm assuming you posted to r/programming and r/linux?). Also, I haven't taken advantage of it yet, because what am I going to do with 50 gigs? I o
