TCP is used if the size of the packet goes over 512 bytes. Practically this is only used for zone transfers. It's also faster... Assuming everything works, it's one round trip time for the query and response for UDP, as opposed to 2 for the

As another Winnipegger, I had no idea companies like this existed in our city. Maybe I'm the isolated one, but how can we spread the word about things going on in the area?

Just to follow up on myself, I installed skipfish and ran it against my site in the easiest mode (./skipfish -W /dev/null -LV -o rpt http://example.com ) * I got the same two errors and they were completely benign. The directory traversal

I just scanned my personal site. It came back saying 1 directory traversal problem and 1 interesting file, and that if I wanted to find out what they were, I'd have to pay. And good grief, there's a lot of text there. To me, that just seems

I'm not sure why they always seem to be left out these days, but Microchip PIC micros are great for learning this kind of stuff. There are lots of cheap programmers available, most of the chips are available in DIP format to use with a brea

I would have loved to do more in depth measurement, but I couldn't get to any disk stats under /proc. Even iostat was crippled. I'm also not sure the distinction was that important in that case. With their VPS implementation there were no k

I got the same runaround with their VPS service. I started seeing really high disk latency - on the order of tens of seconds to create a file. I emailed them, along with the results of a script that measured how long it took to create a ne

I wish I knew more about statistics. Punching just the two variants that made it to the end into a Chi square calculator gave me a 90% confidence, not the 95% he cited. I also wonder about stopping the variation early, and even the conditio

I thought that Kissinsights is pretty good, but the lowest package is too big (and expensive) for me at this stage. The free version was also intrusive, I even had a comment come back as "the design of the site is OK, but get rid of that da

There's a rumor floating around Twitter that APNIC will be requesting two /8's this week or next, which puts us at 5 left. At that point, the remaining 5 get distributed to the 5 RIRs. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2119927 http://t

There are 7 /8 unallocated networks. This tweet (and some followons) suggests that 2 of those will shortly be allocated to a RIR, which means that IANA will immediately share the remaining allocations across the 5 RIRs.

Is IANA about to hand out the last of the IPv4 allocations to the RIRs?(twitter.com)

Could be. We share pics of the kids with non-local family over facebook. But really, putting stuff on the fridge is more about making the kid feel appreciated than anything else.

Speaking as a parent of 3 young boys, I can't see myself using this, let alone paying for it. We've got a house stuffed with crayons and colouring books. At the dollar store, they're probably a buck each, so it's not as if this is a cost av

He seems to harp on the costs of a SAN as one of the drivers(not surprisingly, he's an IBMer), but according to http://highscalability.com/youtube-architecture they're running off of BigTable.

If you're going after students, have a look at http://www.mathletics.ca/ and http://www.rainforestmaths.com/ We signed up our kids for a year for ~$200. It was pretty good, but there are ways it could be improved, such as not using Flas

+1 on iTerm. It supports 256 colour mode so if you're using a custom vi theme like Zenburn, it'll actually work. BTW, alt-tab (er, command-tab) still switches between applications, but not between different instances of an application. For

Your /tmp is on a separate file system than /bin. _Hard_ links point to the same inode, therefore both parts of your link must be on the same file system (as opposed to a soft link, which is a separate inode saying "hey buddy, go over there
