Remote OpenGL Setup without X

A full OpenGL profile requires X to be running. For X to run, it requires a display to be connected to the machine. Given that most server machines do not have this, it becomes difficult to run OpenGL.

This document details how to get OpenGL and X up and running without having a display connected to the sevrer.

Requirements

You will need access to the remote system over SSH. To run the tool, you will need libGL.so and libX11.so. These are installed when X and the NVIDIA Drivers are installed. So there is nothing special required to install these.

Another tool I would recommend strongly is glewinfo. Most linux distributions ship this with the glew-utils package. An alternate to glewinfo is glxinfo which is present on all systems with X. You can substitute glewinfo with glxinfo in all the commands below if needed.

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

http://mvdirona.com/jrh/talksandpapers/jamesrh_lisa.pdf

Basic tenets

Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
Have we kept things as simple as possible?

在Hadoop Streaming中使用PyPy

[PyPy][1]作为CPython的高性能替代方案，目前已经十分成熟，得益于JIT等技术的应用，多数场景下PyPy都具有更好的性能。以通过正则对Nginx日志进行解析为例，对300G数据进行处理，PyPy对比原生Python能得到2.5倍以上的性能提升：

	Slot time(mins)	Read(%)	Write(%)	User(%)	MB/s	Record/s
Python 2.6	2412.76	3.17%	32.21%	64.61%	2.07	1741.74
PyPy 2.3	869.37	9.01%	87.13%	3.85%	5.69	4809.06

brew install mutt
setup an app password for mutt in gmail
setup an app password for imap_notifier in gmail
brew install terminal-notifier terminal-notifier
gem install imap_notifier imap_notifier
brew install urlview
brew install w3m (links would be OK too)
Install pandoc to author in markdown and send as HTML

26 time management hacks I wish I'd known at 20

There's always time. Time is priorities
Days always fill up | "Only plan for 4-5 hours of real work per day."
Work more when you're in the zone. Relax when you're not. | "It's normal to have days where you just can't work and days where you'll work 12 hours straight"
Respect your time and make it respected | "Your time is $1000/hour, and you need to act accordingly"
Stop multi-tasking. It merely kills your focus.
Set up a work routine and stick to it. Your body will adapt
We're always more focused and productive with limited time.
Work is the best way to get working. Start with short tasks to get the ball rolling.
