General description – what the hell will we try to do here: When you find yourself chasing memory leaks, or Heisenbugs for a long time chances are you will have a huge debug log. If the disk gets full and you need only the logs at the end when the problem raises it’s ugly head, use the technique described here. The technique involves: closing the file handle where the process writes the logs currently – int creat(const char *path, mode_t mode); creating a new…Continue Reading “Hot-swapping a log file on a running process w/ GDB w/o stopping it”
Multitail allows for continuous tailing (tail -f) of multiple files within one terminal/SSH session.

For example, 30 FPS, MP4 video of size 870,4 MB takes around 2 hours on < 1Mbps upload speeds: To minimize that time I use a simple workflow (i) and a script that feeds video files into HandBrake video transcoder (ii). You can find the installation steps for HandBrake here. My workflow is simple: - Download the videos from my phone/camera to my laptop; - Add them to appropriate folders that I create based...Continue Reading “How To: Batch prepare videos to upload to youtube with HandBrake”

The philosophizing … There are dimensions of software products that differentiate them from other systems. To a large extent compatibility between iterations is one such dimension. This probably is because of the tempo at which software pieces are being delivered compared to other systems – if you want to release often and build the piece incrementally you better make sure that people will not have to waste time recreating everything they have done with the previous versions… or that the added value of the new…Continue Reading “How To: Exporting dashboards, visualizations and saved searches from Kibana v4.0.1 … and some software philosophizing”
