Size matters: Yahoo claims 2-petabyte database is world's biggest, busiest:
"Take Yahoo Inc.'s 2-petabyte, specially built data warehouse, which it uses to analyze the behavior of its half-billion Web visitors per month. The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company makes a strong claim that it is not only the world's single-largest database, but also the busiest.
Based on a heavily modified PostgreSQL engine, the year-old database processes 24 billion events a day, according to Waqar Hasan, vice president of engineering in Yahoo's data group.
And the data, all of it constantly accessed and all of it stored in a structured, ready-to-crunch form, is expected to grow into the multiple tens of petabytes by next year."

Sveinbjorn Thordarson's Website - Platypus
Sveinbjorn Thordarson's Website - Platypus: "Platypus is a development tool for the Mac OS X operating system. It can be used to create native, flawlessly integrated Mac OS X applications from interpreted scripts, such as shell scripts or Perl and Python programs. This is done by wrapping the script in an application bundle directory structure along with an executable binary that runs the script. Platypus thus makes it possible for you to share your scripts and programs with those unfamiliar with the command line interface, without any knowledge of the Mac OS X APIs -- a few clicks and you will have your own Mac OS X graphical program. Creating installers, maintenance applications, login items, launchers, automations and droplets is very easy using Platypus."
The npthread library interface
Like select() for threads:
"The npthread library allows the following seven types of threads:
* Call f(n) as soon as possible.
* Call f(n) if the current time is past t.
* Call f(n) if UNIX signal s has just arrived.
* Call f(n) if child process p has just exited.
* Call f(n) if user-defined flag p has just been waved.
* Call f(n) when file descriptor d is readable.
* Call f(n) when file descriptor d is writable."

Oracle DML Error Logging
Oracle DML Error Logging: "To use DML error logging, you add a statement clause that specifies the name of an error logging table into which the database records errors encountered during DML operations. When you add this error logging clause to the INSERT statement, certain types of errors no longer terminate and roll back the statement. Instead, each error is logged and the statement continues. You then take corrective action on the erroneous rows at a later time."

The Miracle Fruit, a Tease for the Taste Buds - NYTimes.com
The Miracle Fruit, a Tease for the Taste Buds - NYTimes.com: "The miracle fruit, Synsepalum dulcificum, is native to West Africa and has been known to Westerners since the 18th century. The cause of the reaction is a protein called miraculin, which binds with the taste buds and acts as a sweetness inducer when it comes in contact with acids, according to a scientist who has studied the fruit, Linda Bartoshuk at the University of Florida’s Center for Smell and Taste. Dr. Bartoshuk said she did not know of any dangers associated with eating miracle fruit.
During the 1970s, a ruling by the Food and Drug Administration dashed hopes that an extract of miraculin could be sold as a sugar substitute. In the absence of any plausible commercial application, the miracle fruit has acquired a bit of a cult following."

A tribute to an American hero, author, veteran, and newspaperman
A tribute to an American hero, author, veteran, and newspaperman: "In the early 1970's, at the age of about 13, I found an old, beat-up copy of 'C/O Postmaster', published in 1943. I was immediately caught up in the world of Corporal St. George and his adventures as one of the first G.I.'s sent to Australia in 1942.
For most of my life, I looked for Thomas R. St. George, not knowing if he had survived the war, or where he might be if he did. Through the wonders of the Internet, I found him in 2007. To my amazement and delight, I found that he had published several more books, all of which I now own and treasure."

How-To: Expand your camera with CHDK - Hack a Day
How-To: Expand your camera with CHDK - Hack a Day: "As anyone who has lusted over the technical specifications for Canon's new Digital Rebel XSi knows, the capabilities of the average point and shoot camera are severely limited. Using the CHDK firmware hack, the features of Canon point and shoot cameras can be significantly expanded, allowing for ultra-high speed photography, very long exposures, time lapse photography, and RAW capture. This How-To provides a guide to our experiences using the CHDK firmware, and shows just how easy it is to get more out of a point and shoot than ever thought possible."

rst2a - about
rst2a - about: "rst2a was conceived by Andy Gayton, David Stokes, and Asi Behar as a solution to a persistent problem that plagued the team during their day jobs at Revver.
Every time a spec was needed, invariably, a debate over the format of the spec would arise - with developers preferring a plain text document on a wiki, and business people preferring traditional tools such as Microsoft Word based on a set template.
Cue reStructuredText - an easy-to-read, plain text document format designed to keep content and the style/formatting of content separate. Author the content once, then present it in a variety of formats - like html and pdf - with infinite possibilities for styles and templates.
After numerous proprietary-format-written specs that he couldn't open, Andy decided to build rst2a as an advocacy site to accomplish a few goals:
* Encourage the creation of additional rst styles.
* Present these styles in a digestable way, for people to download and use.
* Make it easy to convert rst documents to multiple formats, without having to install a heap of software locally.
* Help establish rst as a viable format for non-technical users."

Concurrency with Python, Twisted, and Flex
Concurrency with Python, Twisted, and Flex: "Before wading into the world of Twisted, you should be forewarned. Twisted contains lots of libraries to do all kinds of things, and this abundance can be overwhelming. They use weird naming conventions, often making things up even though there are accepted names for things, so names are often nonsensical. The documentation sucks -- badly. You usually have to thrash around quite a bit to figure out what you need, and even then it requires luck (but the newsgroup tends to be helpful). There is an O'Reilly book on Twisted, but it's not great -- you get it anyway because that's the only book there is.
Normally, caveats like that might send you away from an open-source project. Despite the issues, Twisted is worth it because the code is very good, and it solves your problem. The project is very actively maintained, but it's by people who are good at writing (and testing) code, and not so good at documentation. It's definitely worth using, but you should be ready to roll up your sleeves. However, if you can fit your project within what I'm showing in this article, things should go easily."

In fact, pixel art can be impressive as well. This post attempts to prove just that."

Bluetooth Proximity Detection on OS X
Bluetooth Proximity Detection on OS X
"The tool I ultimately chose for the purpose of the detection itself is a little free app appropriately called Proximity. This is a thin little program that does one thing, but does it well -- that is to sit in the background and scan for a given Bluetooth device at regular intervals. When it detects a change in the device’s availability, it simply calls one of two Applescripts: One for the device leaving range, and another for when the device enters range.

When it detects a change in the device’s availability, it simply calls one of two Applescripts: One for the device leaving range, and another for when the device enters range.
So, armed with that I set out to create two Applescripts that would perform the following tasks:
When the Bluetooth Device enters range:
-
•Deactivate the Screen Saver Password.
-
•Deactivate the Screen Saver.
-
•Reconnect the phone to the OS X Address Book
-
•Sync the phone using iSync
When the Bluetooth Device leaves range:
•Activate the Screen Saver Password.
•Activate the Screen Saver."

But we'll follow you forever.
I guess it's time to play.
Maybe we'll go out quietly.
Ah... ah... falling in love...

Today once again we'll carry, fight, multiply and then be eaten.
Uprooted, we'll gather, and be thrown.
But we won't ask you to love us.
