Comment on Large Scale file distribution in clouds using BitTorrent – part 1 by bmullan

bmullan — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 00:16:38 +0000

This is a great topic. I’ve been following the work at twitter in use of bittorrent/cap/murder for provisioning and its a very interesting idea and seems a good application of the torrent concepts.

I’ve been hoping to see someone implement fabric as an alternative to capistrano so the whole solution could be python based.

I look forward to you next article on this.

Comment on Scary statistics about book reading by Peter

Peter — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 03:28:29 +0000

First, statistics often hide facts. It’s not intentional, but you have to know the “population” distribution to find what the statistics really mean.

Her, for example, the 58% represents part of about 250,000,000 people; the 42% represents part of about 100,000,000 people. Ignore the fact that 42 + 58 = 100 – they are like apples and oranges, except that 100 does not mean “fruit”.

More meaningful is that 80% of american adults want to publish a book that sells – now THAT one is not compatible with either the 58% or the 42%

As for 57% of books not being read to completion… Well, just watch someone reading a report – 100% of the readers read the “executive summary”, 80% read the summaries as well and less than 50% read the body, and only about 10% read the supplementary material (appendices and so on). The same percentages seem to hold for articles and presentations, fiction and non-fiction books, magazines, websites, blogs….

Mind you, I’ve always wondered about the literacy stats – if they’re anywhere near accurate, then it says that the educators are as much like this distribution as the student (and reading) population. So, in the stats you qute: replace adult population, families, graduates and so on by “educators”…

It would really be great to update this to a later version. I’ve been trying to get 0.8.6 to build for weeks now….with no luck

patches are available for 0.8.5/0.12.5
http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/1935

I was able to build 0.8.6/0.12.6 on svn_129
using those patches, and these directions.

had some issues with system versions of sigc++, and
also ‘echo’, and ‘curses’…
but managed to muddle through, despite ignorance.

Hey mate , thanks ALOT for sharing these tips. It saved me some good time of Googling and Tweaking around

The script works flawlessly except for one thing: You only forgot to add the SUNWlibtool at the package installation section.

Gustavo
