"Easy file sharing from the command line"

"Posted by Gary Newell | at 20:51 3 comments Introduction For the past couple of years I have been producing analysis guides for the top 10 Linux distributions as listed on Distrowatch. Click here for the guide for 2013 Click here for the guide for 2014 The point of this article is to look at the top 10 Linux distributions as listed on Distrowatch for the year 2015 and analyse their suitability for the average Joe. The criteria for an Everyday Linux distribution is as follows: Must be relatively easy to install Must have an intuitive desktop environment Must be easy to use Must have a standard set of applications pre-installed (i.e. web browser, audio player, media player) Must have a decent package manager in order to install further software Must be ready to use from the get go"

"Building a social network isn't an easy task, let alone a successful one. As developers our job is to create, build, and bring to life the gears and functions of a social network. When it comes to marketing, well that's a different department in most cases. We build then later deploy, and in order to develop a highly efficient and functional social network we'll need to use a few tools."

"ONOS is building a better network The Open Network Operating System (ONOS) is a software defined networking (SDN) OS for service providers that has scalability, high availability, high performance and abstractions to make it easy to create apps and services. The platform is based on a solid architecture and has quickly matured to be feature rich and production ready. The community has grown to include over 50 partners and collaborators that contribute to all aspects of the project including interesting use cases such as CORD."

"The European Commission is asking the public critical questions about the future of our online world, but these questions are buried throughout a lengthy consultation survey that will probably make your eyes water. We need you to tackle the survey and make your voice heard. It's not easy, so we're here to help. Go ahead, take a look at the public consultation. It's got five pages of oblique questions and too much smallprint for anyone's taste. But it's really all asking one thing: what are the roles and responsibilities of service providers in the digital world? Our survey survival guide helps you overcome the bureaucratic barrier and answer that question, because it's at risk of being ignored."

"Sam Arbesman's newest book, Overcomplicated, looks at how many technological systems have grown so complex that they defy easy understanding. In the following lightly edited excerpt, he argues that we need to learn to think more like biologists in order to work with the technology we've created."

"Christine Hall It was easy to place the blame on Microsoft in a knee-jerk reaction - and it didn't help that a Lenovo representative placed blame firmly in Redmond's lap. It appears, however, that Microsoft's not involved, and Lenovo's not to blame either."

"by Julia Belluz, Brad Plumer, and Brian Resnick on July 14, 2016 "Science, I had come to learn, is as political, competitive, and fierce a career as you can find, full of the temptation to find easy paths." - Paul Kalanithi, neurosurgeon and writer (1977-2015) Science is in big trouble. Or so we're told. In the past several years, many scientists have become afflicted with a serious case of doubt - doubt in the very institution of science."

"This tutorial will show you how to install and uninstall applications in Fedora using PackageKit(Graphical) and yum(Terminal). I am using the Fedora 18. If you are the Ubuntu user, see managing software's in Ubuntu via Terminal. If you have just switched from Windows environment to Linux, first do the installing using the Graphical interface. It's way simple and easy. Whereas, application installing and uninstalling is much more faster via Terminal. You just have to be little bit familiar with the command language and Linux commands. Try both and implement which one u feel comfortable and easier."

"But what about the kinds of jobs where measuring someone's "output" isn't about counting the number of widgets they produced, but rather it's about how they managed a team or influenced others or helped people collaborate better? While it might be easy to measure someone's output on an assembly line, how do we decide how well a manager manages or a leader leads?"

"It's easy to forget how intimidating it can be when trying something completely new for the first time. This is especially true when a power-user comfortable with Windows tries Linux. Since I'm a power user of various Linux distros, Windows and OS X, I have some insights that I think people looking to migrate to Linux need to read. Let's get started, shall we?"

ahh! you beat me to it, read this yesterday and was on my list.. thx

well, I can tell from experience that the " "wibble-wobble method" works just fine (did with me as with my own youngsters). true enough, training wheels make it easy, however in the long run the ingrained habit of micro-steering as a way of enhancing one's capability to overcome apparent obstacles and innovate in and with the chaotic flow of events is quite the advantage.

There were no training wheels when I learned to ride a bike in AR - you learned or fell off - and, everyone that I knew learned on their own without any problems at all. Training wheels and the "wibble-wobble method" are manifestations of our over-protective (well-meaning, of course!) nature with our children from the 70s, 80s and 90s and now ... I used training wheels with my son until he insisted that I take them off, so he could ride like the other kids in the neighborhood that were younger and used no training wheels and rode better than he did. I'm encouraged by that recollection (if I remember it correctely? lol) to believe that training wheels are a bit of a waste of time and that the "wibble-wobble method" or other 'throw-in-th'-mix-and-see-what-happens' would serve the person better. Micro-steering must be learned no matter what at some point - the subtly of the motion of a bike require it.
