Not quite what you want, but in the same spirit of Mutt is Newsbeuter.

Maybe a good idea to study this then, could be useful to help drive your understanding on the problem domain.

Re:ZFS vs. Hammer on Friday January 02, 2015 @10:05PM (#8829762)
Here is a well balanced explanation why ECC-RAM. That being said, if the RAM is the weakest link it doesn't matter what underlying FS is used.

In my experience 16GB is only needed if you want to run Deduplication.

You should maybe tell them to remove their own "google cache" version as well...

The other way around. The link you gave is a duplicate of this post actually.

How does Terraform compare to e.g. Mesos? Or am I comparing apple and oranges here?

How does Go.cd measure up against e.g. Jenkins or Hudson?

Thank you for clarifying that.
Re:Sirius: A distributed system library from Comcast on Wednesday April 23, 2014 @03:41PM (#7636402)
Is it possible to do write through / write back to some other data store?
Re:Sirius: A distributed system library from Comcast on Wednesday April 23, 2014 @03:38PM (#7636384)
Reminds me of Infinispan [1] or other similar Data Grid software.

Re:Etcd – The Road to 1.0 on Thursday April 17, 2014 @01:05PM (#7604823)
Very interesting, wasn't aware that ETCD is strongly consistent. This makes alot of sense in terms of Brewster's theorem. Thanks for clarifying!
Re:Etcd – The Road to 1.0 on Tuesday April 15, 2014 @06:48AM (#7591164)
Whats the communities opinion on Serf? How does it measure up against Etcd?
Is Antitude going to be a commercial software?
I don't think this is crazy at all.

We use something similar as this internally as well, which we custom built to our needs. Instead of Serf we use Zookeeper/etcd though.

Yeah people keep telling me mail is dead, but its still kicking around and is very well alive. Let me edit my initial question to be email neutral though.
Re:Full-disclosure – Administrivia: The End on Wednesday March 19, 2014 @08:44AM (#7428204)
Some companies like to practice 'security by obscurity' to the fullest. They sometimes try to keep bugs from being disclosed by researchers using various means of ignore up to legal threats or other non disclosure contracts.

Often when things are at a really bad state its in the public interest to make sure these issues get fixed rather than brushed under the carpet. Hence it gets posted on various sec ML lists to ramp up pressure.

Re:Full-disclosure – Administrivia: The End on Wednesday March 19, 2014 @08:12AM (#7428063)
Wow, this is sad. Hope we can get more info on what was going on.

Besides Bugtraq what mailing lists security wise do you follow?

EDIT: Or what other general means by Twitter, Websites, Databases, Blogs etc. do you recommend?

DataMapper has this as dm-visualizer as well in case you use that over AR in rails. https://github.com/postmodern/dm-visualizer

Nice! Clothingparsing very cool.
Re:Color Detection on Thursday March 06, 2014 @02:22PM (#7355949)
Yeah, totally agree on that. We noticed this as well when approaching it naively via simple clustering then going through different color spaces and methods until finally getting some decent results.

Nice! Here is another player in this field (fyi). http://labs.tineye.com/multicolr
Re:Color Detection on Thursday March 06, 2014 @10:37AM (#7354277)
Nice post!

Made me think we should write something similar for our approach, which is a bit more complex though leveraging semi-supervised learning, dynamic estimations and normalized color calculations with statistical bias.

Here is some simple demo if you are interested, where we translated it back also into color names to allow text search for estimated parent and real color.
