There are some packages for very specific sub-fields, things like Collection Master and such but I'm not aware of anything generic enough to cover the field of 'law'.

"...at 50km, the abundance [of H2SO4] works out to ~14mg/m^3 or about 7ppm. So, between sulfuric acid and water vapor, you have about half as much mass per cubic meter as water vapor in the air near the ALMA observatory in the Ata

Figure a hacking group is a dozen people. That's ~8.3T per person to stash. I know plenty of folks with that kind of storage lying around, it doesn't seem insane that folks deep in infosec might have even more idle capacity. Alter

The website makes clear that the listen-and-answer /behavior/ isn't activated unless triggered. That's absolutely not evidence in either direction for what happens in the non-triggered case. For example the idea that the

Took me a while but I retried. It's definitely better, to the point that I have to stretch a bit to find really bad errors. "B begat C" still makes it in as do a few similar ones but considering how pathological a case a sing

Very hard to take this article seriously: "U.S. submarines and aircraft carriers run on nuclear power, but they have large fusion reactors on board that have to be replaced on a regular cycle." Edit: more at Lockheed's site d

RAID is not a backup, zfs especially so. Zfs (and RAID) is designed to protect your data from a small, enumerable and specific set of failures, namely the right-there-in-the-acronymn "inexpensive disks". If your house burns down Z

This is pretty close to something I've wanted for ages: the smallest possible Ceph OSD. This doesn't have the right set of devices on it but it's pretty close. Ditch the wifi for gigabit ethernet, slap a sata controller on th

shrug that's business. You pays your money and takes your chances. Comcast (et al) gambled on some level of oversubscription and that's not working for them in reality. It's hard to argue that Netflix is somehow at fault fo

Foursquare was the only social-networking-y app I used. It provided a valuable service to me, namely 'remembering where I've been' which my brain is bad at. Then they decided to change everything and now I don't use it

10GBASE-T is pretty well established for top-of-rack datacenter switches. Intel's X520 chipset is pretty common and any major switch vendor will happily sell you a 24x or 48x 10-gig switch (HP's JG336A for example). Twinax is argu

Most AMD chips support ECC on the cpu, many compatible motherboards include it but don't bother to specify on the spec sheet. I was running an Asus M5A97 with ECC with ZFS for a few before it died a tragic early death.

If you choose your layout carefully SQL should be fine. Certainly you can index on whatever you like that way. You also get the potential to do clever things like storing message bodies or mime parts once and foreign-keying them into indivi
