Cloud computing is about maintaining applications and data through the central remote servers and the internet. With the help of this technology, consumers can use various applications and can have access to their personal folders at any system which has an internet access. The main idea behind this technology is to make the entire process of computing, centralized and efficient.

Your equation is wrong
bandwidth-delay product: capacity = bandwidth * RTT

should it not be total available bandwidth x latency value = ????? / 8 ?

Saw your tweet that every ElasticSearch environment you know of has suffered from similar GitHub-like failures. Why do you think that is?

Even better way is to integrate your system's clipboard with vim's. Vim has two registers "* (primary selection) and "+ (clipboard) for this purpose. See :help registers, :help clipboard, or http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Acce... for more info. "*p behaves the same way p does, but the source is the primary selection instead of the default vim register.

Re: PyCharm is My New Python IDE

kapouille — Mon, 03 Sep 2012 09:04:04 -0000

I have the same problem as doesnotmatter, pycharm is significantly less responsive than pydev for me (ubuntu 12.04). With regards to the usability, I guess it's subjective as I personally don't see a significant difference between the 2 (some things are better in eclipse, some others in pycharm, but mostly things are pretty much identical, to the point where I wonder whether they don't share the same backend code)

@Michael - I no longer have access to the original config for this (I've switched gigs), but check out this post, which looked familiar to me, probably because I had the same issue but just forgot about it by the time I did this post (sorry!): http://administratosphere.word...

Trying to get this going and i am noticing that the URL that sendgraph.py is getting is missing all '&':

DEBUG:root:graph url is http://graphitehost/render/?width=800from=-1hourstarget=some.stat.here

my _GRAPHURL is defined within quotes so i am not sure what is going on, any ideas?

Thanks for the great review. Love to see an update! I use BBEdit mostly; looking for more full-featured IDE.

Re: Linux/Unix File Copy Trick

Mike G — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:25:22 -0000

GNU coreutils version 5.97 (2006) doesn't have the -n option available. In version 8.4 (2010) it exists.
I never thought I'd run into a problem where I used a feature of copy that didn't exist in an older version...
I figured cp had been around since they invented unix/linux go figure that a new option came into being between 2006 and 2010. Times they are a changing.

Re: Nose Hates Me

Hopefully you've figured this out by now, but for any others who stumble upon this page, here's how I fixed it:

I was importing one of my modules into the testing module. Turns out there was code outside of any function in that module, and an error there. I soon as I commented that out, Nose worked fine.
