Bjoern··on ZFS vs. Hammer
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.

Bjoern··on Etcd – The Road to 1.0
Very interesting, wasn't aware that ETCD is strongly consistent. This makes alot of sense in terms of Brewster's theorem. Thanks for clarifying!

Whats the communities opinion on Serf? How does it measure up against Etcd?
Bjoern··on Decentralized orchestration tool Antitude announced PipelineConf 2014 in London
Is Antitude going to be a commercial software?
Bjoern··on Decentralized orchestration tool Antitude announced PipelineConf 2014 in London
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.

Bjoern··on Full-disclosure – Administrivia: The End
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.
Bjoern··on Full-disclosure – Administrivia: The End
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.

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

Bjoern··on Color Detection
Nice! Clothingparsing very cool.
Bjoern··on Color Detection
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.
Bjoern··on Color Detection
Nice! Here is another player in this field (fyi). http://labs.tineye.com/multicolr
Bjoern··on Color Detection
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.
