i switched from this: http://imgur.com/QBQNt.jpg to this: http://imgur.com/No4os.jpg and to this: http://imgur.com/JVqRa.jpg and now i am basically using the macbook pro


Out of curiosity: why did you made the switch from a bigger monitor to the smaller display of the macbook?


marco also posted about that recently

lttng currently runs on: x86-32, x86-64, SPARC, SPARC64, ppc, ppc64, sh, sh64, ia64, s390, MIPS 32/64, ARM


its more like instruments and shark tools that you can find in xcode


the article mentions perf, valgrind, oprofile, etc. but misses the lttng tool

http://lttng.org


Is there a better viewer for lttng than the lttv gui? I got spoiled by QNX's amazing tracing infrastructure and analysis tools and long for something similar on Linux.


lttng is integrated into eclipse framework, the gui looks better than the gtk lttv gui

"Until 2 days ago I had no idea that both Jason and Angelos in the past did work for a company that does that business"


There is no way Theo didn't know Jason worked at NETSEC; Jason's a co-author of an academic paper about the OpenBSD cryptography implementation, under a NETSEC address.


yep, you can see this post from 2000. http://monkey.org/openbsd/archive/misc/0004/msg00583.html


I think this followup is even more illustrative: http://monkey.org/openbsd/archive/misc/0004/msg00573.html


rest of quote: "And it is true, wow, that company really was in that business! Now they (the company) belong to Verizon."

What the company did is surprising, not who worked there.


I assume you mean "what the company is alleged, by one guy, to have done".


Sure. I was saying "no idea" == "that business" as opposed to the "no idea" == "jason and angelos" interpretation.


also you can find some references/links in this post http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1586027



good to hear that you are still pushing hard.


:)


i didn't know they had streets in Antarctica :-) great pictures.


That depends on your definition of "street". They do, after all, have one of the most extreme highways on Earth:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMurdo-South_Pole_highway

I would pay money to cruise down that in Street View. I wonder if you could stick the Street View photo module on top of one of those Snow Cats and hit record next time they do a run?


They have bus drivers. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encounters_at_the_End_of_the_Wo...

Interesting documentary.

I've always wanted to go down there. There's even a few couchsurfers down there


It isn't an impossible dream. There are regular jobs available at McMurdo base and Scott Base and they need IT staff. I know two people who spend 6 months or so every year working down there and they are addicted to it, constantly drawn back to the beauty. They have a lots of amazing stories. You can also of course just make the trip as a tourist.


That sounds interesting. How did your friends go about getting those jobs? It sounds like the kind of thing i'd do. I'd prefer not going down their as a tourist; I'd rather be involved in something if I were spending time there.


I'm not sure how they got started (they've been going for years and years). I don't have an easy way to reach them right now to ask, but a quick Google came up with these which may serve as starting points: http://www.coolantarctica.com/Community/find_a_job_in_antarc... http://www.usap.gov/usapgov/jobsAndOpportunities/index.cfm?m...


Thanks for the links, reading through them now. Lots of great info.


Thank you for your recommendation on this documentary. I watched it just now and it is powerful.

Many sincere thanks!
