  • dd' was needed to interact with the block devices,
  • 0 down vote You want to use dd so that you can specify things like bsize
  • tuning this to some multiple of 4k is going to be much faster than cat
  • dd has a number of useful extra features for more complex data copies
  • 2 down vote If I remember correctly, dd is much more "low level" in is approach, skipping such fancy things as filesystems and all the bells and whistles :)
  • dd is problematic in the presence of disk errors, and can hang or more importantly ignore non readable data

    Fascinating discussion over at Stack Overflow. Elucidates some of the subtle differences between dd and cat, and when and why you might want to use one over the other.

gnome guadec linux segnalerumore

shared by Marco Castellani on 29 Jul 08 - Cached
  • Gnome 3.0, the next major release of the Unix and Linux desktop, was one of the conference's main topics. There have been intense discussions whether Gnome is stagnating in recent weeks – the twice yearly updates to the current 2.x series deliver steady, but rarely spectacular, new features and improvements.
  • Gnome co-founder Frederico Mena-Quintero concentrated on the traditional document-centred desktop. Whilst users have no problems with emails, chat or music, they often have trouble finding their documents. Rather than a folder view, he espouses a journal, which shows documents sorted chronologically. According to Mena-Quintero, the idea is nothing new, but with a sensible GUI and in tandem with functions such as tags, it could offer significant improvements for users.

  • This long-standing odd/even development model was officially scrapped in 2004 thanks to the success that Linus and Andrew Morton were having working together, and significant "unstable" development began happening between each 2.6.Z release.

  • Open source has crossed the chasm
  • Jeffrey Hammond
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Hammond, principle analyst with Forrester Research
  • Hammond says that open source initially wedged its way into enterprise environments based on cost savings
  • Hammond says that we're now seeing the second wave of open source adoption, being driven by improved flexibility to execute and positioning enterprises to grow when the recession ends.
  • Only one in five (21%) developers are not using open source as part of their work.
  • Application servers and operating systems are highest in organizations larger than 20,000 employees.
  • what's more interesting is the "u-shaped" curve where very small and very large organizations show high adoption.
  • Open source databases are outliers, with less adoption in larger companies
  • 30% of developers say that they're using Linux as their primary development OS on Eclipse
  • Ubuntu is leading by far with 17%, all the other Linux combined
  • Deployment numbers are nicer for Linux. 40% are deploying on Linux, 36% on Windows from Eclipse; the Dr. Dobbs survey finds 23% deployment on Linux vs. 57% for Windows-centric developers. In both cases, organizations are deploying more on Linux than ever before.
  • Subversion is the leader with 52%, and Git/GitHub with 6%. Open source is the clear winner in SCM. Git has crept up from 2% to 6%
  • Things happening "outside the firewall" are driving technology, which has empowered developers to change corporate IT culture
  • about 36% of companies don't have a policy regarding deploying and contributing to open source.

      cuidado al copiar y pegar. hay que copiar los comandos por separado!

Código: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugnometeam/ppa-gensudo apt-get update 2. Actualizar el sistema (esto se va a llevar un tiempo).

shared by David Corking on 05 Apr 14 - No Cached
  • I keep my local repos in a Dropbox folder so I can switch between my desktop and laptop seamlessly and still have the current state of everything be synced, including changes that haven't been committed yet.
  • 1. vagrant halt to shutdown machines 2. added "export VAGRANT_DOTFILE_PATH=.vagrant-laptop" to ~/.bashrc 3. open new terminals to inherit the new env var 4. move .vagrant to .vagrant-laptop 5. vagrant up -- it works! 6. change "/.vagrant" to "/.vagrant*" in my .gitignore
