Organic avoids the heavy hormones and antibiotics from regular milk. You can definitely get non-homogenized organic milk though. You just have to shake it before drinking. Avoid Horizon brands (see the Organic Consumers Association repor

I think you could solve quite a bit of it just by writing your own CAPTCHA (instead of using a public one that there's already exploit code for.) There's a PyGimp script you can tweak here: https://spideroak.com/code Won't stop the peopl

Your question seems to suppose the idea that the health of the brain is independent and unrelated to the of the overall health of the rest of the organism. This has historically been a common belief in western medicine but evidence to th

Yeah, there's a lot of disinformation about health running around. I've been researching nutrition informally for about 10 years. The only really useful pattern is that most of the disinformation is profitable to someone. It's frustratin

I've seen calorie restriction articles posted a few times on here. Why the fascination? It's a rather challenging approach to longevity, and for most people there are easier ways to improve long term health. Specifically: Avoid all foods

We previously had a poll here of which languages have the best "innards" or something like that. I wonder what a similar poll on languages with the best "outards" would be (i.e. documentation, learning curve, simplicity of initial setup, ti

In SQL systems, you can easily shift the computation cost from at read time to at write time. That's what triggers are for. When new data comes in that changes a result you know you need quickly, a trigger can automatically add to a work

There was a Perl script for doing this called OzyManDNS which worked well. Seems like the Author's site is down, though. Does someone have a mirror?

I doubt it very much. When drives start failing out of a RAID6 array, you lose it's ability to automatically detect and correct single bit errors on disk. With that much data, single bit errors will happen predictably. If their usage patte

WinPdb well let you do this. It lets you start a process, and then attach a graphical debugger to it over TCP. Then you can let the process run, break and examine whenever you want, set break points, conditionals, etc. Great for debuggin

SQLite is used by OS X Mail, Firefox, and plenty of other widely deployed apps. With that many users, even the most obscure branches get exercised. Finding the bugs through internal testing is a better life than reading end user trouble t

We (SpiderOak) had a customer who previously arranged their backups with rotating tarballs, encrypted and daily moved offsite. Trouble was, the crypto keys were only archived _within_ the backup. Backup is a nuanced problem. There's a goo

I founded SpiderOak in 2006: Zero-knowledge encrypted offsite backup and sync. It does intensive deduplication across your full data set, keeps historical versions and deleted files for as long as you like and supports all major platforms.

It was definitely not chosen for ease of implementation, as Apple had to modify core file system functionality, adding support for hard links to directories as well as files in HFS+ which is fraught with peril if not implemented just right.

Backup systems make tradeoffs to be space efficient (block level backups) or computationally efficient (using full file backups that have mostly IO cost.) Apple made the choice to have time machine operate with little CPU burden. While thi

Interesting. The design is somewhat similar to how SpiderOak works. They were both created at about the same time, it seems.
