Apparently, the consensus is that your original advice is more correct. I think it's accurate enough because both take some effort to pull off.

It did double my memory usage from 1G to 2G. I'm using python. I was shocked that the increase would be so big. Most of this data is in dict's.

So now I run the memory intensive stuff in 32 bit chroots:

I made a little script to make getting into the chroot environment easy:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

linux32 chroot /mnt/gentoo32 /bin/bash -c "source /etc/profile;env-update;bash"

I thought the hold-ups were patent/licensing related? Wikipedia concurs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_code

ECC's are so interesting.

Yes. I used to get nearly all of my programming information from books or at least tutorials. Now I get nearly all of it just from resources scattered around the web.

Which would you rather make out with?

Online dating is about to take a big dive.

Your hosting provider is behaving terribly. I'd change providers right away. You don't need a dedicated server either.

Do you want to ban all collections of related information, or just articles that tell you how many items there are in the title?

This is silly, not only essays are useful.

That I know. I would never depend on a command line command to execute something months from now. Not on any system.

Unless you want to delay it until birthdays or some other event that's weeks or months away.

No kidding.

> against NDA for me to publish any source code to an iphone app that I write

Wow, that's awful.

...moments ago from my girlfriend:

> you never checked on [important thing] did you? You are so irresponsible.

Yeah, I need this badly.

Just a 20?

Huh.

Basing your business plan on your morals: not a great business plan.

These are bit level errors. So instead of losing a bit or two, you lose a massive chunk. That's the difference between a strange character in your Doc file and losing the whole thing.

I think it's 128 bits for truecrypt, although internet searches point to many people using higher (1024 and 4096). And if the bit level error rates are as high as he says, looks bad.

No, but it will notify you of a problem. However, I suspect that smartmontools would do an even better job of notifying you of a problem before it even occurs.

If you want something that will actually protect against bit level errors well, generate some extra data using an appropriate Error Correcting Code for your important archives/files. Something like what par2repair generates. This is incredibly slow compared to simple erasure codes like RAID uses, though. There are some filesystems that do this for you automatically, I wrote one:) Actually, other than that I don't know of any filesystems that do this.

If the above is impractical for performance reasons, Google recommends mirroring everything on three disks...

This is what keeps encryption impractical, especially for laptops.

Never? It's open source. I'll give it a month.

Not close to being a startup by then, and it worked out great for them?

I tried offering prizes, paying $50 to a name-choosing service, asking everyone I could, spending many hours myself. All results sucked.

For my latest startup I spent just a few minutes on it will resist all urges spend more. I'm not allowing myself to get pulled into that time-sink black hole again.

Want it to be easy? Simple. Have $2000 to $10000 to blow on some squatter scum. Or just choose an uncommon topic area. Probably both are unreasonable for most of us.

What promising, legitimate startups have been tripped up because of trademark issues with their domain name? I wouldn't think that this concern is a priority...

Skype phone number and skype-out.

Tax preparation software.

Everything else online is business related.

Both is best.

Many people would prefer private critiques over putting their new site out to fry. Myself included.

What about non-cs/hacker startup info?

No. Vastly more input data does generally allow for better output by these algorithms. BUT this in no way means that todays recommendation algorithms are good AT ALL.

In fact, they completely suck. And in reply to GP, netflix's recommendations suck very much too, to be frank.

Why don't companies care? Simply because it's hard to figure out how to make a lot of money even with very good recommendations.

Both.

No, I like the keyboard to be a lot closer to the monitor, maybe even under where the laptop would be. That would be quite awkward.

Plus, laptop screens -> much more money for the same quality screen.
