Comment on Things to know about leap seconds and your Unix system by rg3

I should write an aftermath article. SACTA was not affected but a bug in the Linux kernel did make the leap second a pretty bad experience for many people and caused service outages all around the world.

Hi,

We have been affected by the leap second change. Our tomcat servers started to consume way too much CPU and answer a bit slow to petitions. It was just now that we receive a warning that we realized! Thankfully the solution was simple as hell:

/bin/date -s “`/bin/date`”

It is interesting from where the solution to your problems can come…

Another option is ‘grin’, another ack-like solution (Python based) and in some (possibly subjective) testing, was about 70% faster than ack. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/grin/

even better to say no because you are tired you should contribute only if you need to fix errors FOR YOU! for opensource projects is better to work from you needs point of view, i mean if you need that thing, you fix it and use it! if you do not use it then someone else should jump in and fix the thing!

if you can’t stop all will spiral in a full time job with no money which not all opensource programmers can afford …

Comment on youtube-dl is dead, long life to… youtube-dl by Deniz Ogut

Hello. Its my bad that I didn’t realize this useful program up till now. I comment on this article three years after it was published! Yet, youtube-dl has new versions to download: http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/download.html . (The version I’ve downloded is dated 2011.03.29) Thank you very much for providing us with this nice tool. I’m a non-coder GNU/Linux user; I use some ways and tools to get Flash videos from You Tube and from some other similar sites but youtube-dl has some superior aspects, mainly being under my “total controle” as GNU/Linux users like it. Maybe I’ll join you on github’s issues’ page. :) Thanks a lot for your efforts!

Comment on Mercurial vs Git by George

Thanks. Great job. A bit tough to read at times but useful nonetheless.

I don’t know whether Hg packs it’s archive, but the packing that Git provides does significantly reduce the archive size. Imagine the possible archive compression ratio between versions of the same file vs. one or more copies and a set of deltas.

In Git, the “staging area” has been provided to help prepare “clean commits”. A “clean” commit is small and single purposed (Orthogonal, Composable). Some of the benefits of this include better bug tracking (to which there is automation assistance from Git).

The problem with Git is that it lacks good documentation, which especially needed because of all its innovation. Documentation is the equivalent of marketing for open source tech.
