Fuse

septembre 22nd, 2007

FUSE enables you to mount a remote filesystem locally. It is common knowledge that computers are done for lazy people to spend 2 hours to find a way to save 5 minutes. I therefore mount my dedibox to ~/dediboxfs and, magic, I can publish and access all the remote files as if they were just there. For macs it's a gift from google, to be found there for MacFuse , and there for SSHFS, other FS are available elsewhere (ftp, gmail, etc... )

Blog et dépendances

juin 9th, 2007

If I look at my subscription habits, I mostly subscribe to blog that are either
  • Very specialized on a technical subject
  • At a forking point on a topical and applicative subject
That is why I prefer to split my blogs between
  • my technical geeky posts about Linux, MacOs, and other system-oriented issues on Technofinance
  • my math and theoretical posts on xQuant, which intends to be more of an applicative forking point
I would be interested to know better about the way readership actually perceives and structures its reading... Technorati Profile

xQuant extends its empire

juin 3rd, 2007

In a brilliant demonstration of technical expertise and non-conformist brio, that is, of utter elegance, xQuant is now equipped with a Wiki section that will enable users to render their thoughts in plain English and Latex.

This Wiki is particularly meant to be used to develop themes including inference, categories, and stochastic finance.

Nous commencerons par le contrepeteur, qui epatera vos amis et vous fera briller en société à moindre frais.
