Maybe someday Schneier will write a book which I can recommend to people who are getting started in cryptography, but I'm not holding my breath. Schneier wrote Applied Cryptography , which is the best way to get started in the field. I p

(Why was I voted down!?!??!) No - what they're talking about is that the controller LIES to ZFS about what blocks are being stored. That throws a huge wrench in ZFS' COW and safety features. If ZFS writes two extra copies of a block, and th

At least one flash controller, the SandForce SF-1200, was by default doing block-level deduplication of data written to it. ... Based on discussions with Kirk McKusick and the ZFS team, the following is a detailed explanation of why this

I'm addicted to Vim's modes & shortcuts. If use an IDE, I end up installing Vim emulators in VS2010, Eclipse, or NetBeans.

Here's a fairly recent NYT article that discusses this, although most of it is within the context of the then "current happenings" http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/28/business/28wages.html For most of the last century, wages and productivi

Texas was followed, in order, by North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and Georgia. Ranking 46th through 49th in the rankings were Michigan, New Jersey, Illinois and New York, respectively. I would attribute this to the amount of local taxes

The examination pattern fulfills their expectations – asking questions straight from the book which require no application-level knowledge at all. It all fits together now. That's why so much code that is farmed out to India comes back lo
