"Cool, it seems to work. Pretty easy, right?

Not so fast.

You just built a container which contains a minimal operating system, and which only runs your app. But the operating system inside the container is not configured correctly. A proper Unix system should run all kinds of important system services. You're not running them, you're only running your app."

"Flaka is a plugin for Ant providing

An Expression language allowing access to data objects Conditional and repetitive control structures like when, unless, while, for, choose, switch .. Exception handling Additional tasks, types and macros .. What Flaka is not:

No new syntax, it's still XML It's still Ant."

"I'm happy to announce the availability of Outbrain's Orchestrator: MySQL replication management & visualization tool.

Orchestrator reads your replication topologies (give it one server - be it master or slave - in each topology, and it will reveal the rest). It keeps a state of this topology. It can continuously poll your servers to get an up to date topology map. It visualizes the topology in a clear and slick D3 tree. It allows you to modify your topology; move slaves around. You can use the command line variation, the JSON API, or you can use the web interface."

"- Optional MySQL backend

• Resumable uploads by default

• Compact, modern look"

"Les principes suivants résument les réflexes à acquérir ; la suite de cet article explorera le détail des manipulations associées.

Quand je fusionne une branche… Si elle est purement locale et temporaire, je m’assure qu’elle n’apparaît pas dans le graphe final de l’historique en faisant un fast-forward merge, ce qui peut nécessiter un rebase au préalable. Si elle a une sémantique claire et documentée, je m’assure qu’elle apparaîtra clairement dans le graphe de l’historique, du début à la fin, en garantissant un true merge. Quand je m’apprête à pusher mon travail local, je nettoie mon historique local d’abord pour partager un historique propre, au cordeau. Quand je me vois refuser le push parce qu’un travail complémentaire a été pushé entre-temps, je rebase sur la branche distante à jour pour éviter de polluer le graphe par des tas de micro-merges malvenus."

"File Conveyor is a daemon written in Python to detect, process and sync files.

Designed to sync files to CDNs. Amazon S3 & CloudFront and Rackspace Cloud Files, as well as any Origin Pull CDN or (S)FTP Push CDN are supported."

"PourOver is a library for simple, fast filtering and sorting of large collections – think 100,000s of items – in the browser. It allows you to build data-exploration apps and archives that run at 60fps, that don’t have to to wait for a database call to render query results.

PourOver is built around the ideal of simple queries that can be arbitrarily composed with each other, without having to recalculate their results. You can union, intersect, and difference queries. PourOver will remember how your queries were constructed and can smartly update them when items are added or modified. You also get useful features like collections that buffer their information periodically, views that page and cache, fast sorting, and much, much more."
