Apple updates DTrace... again - "Back in January, I ranted about Apple's ham-handed breakage in their DTrace port. After some injured feelings and teary embraces, Apple cleaned things up a bit, but some nagging issues remained as I wrote:
For the Apple folks: I'd argue that revealing the name of otherwise untraceable processes is no more transparent than what Activity Monitor provides — could I have that please?
It would be very un-Apple to — you know — communicate future development plans, but in 10.5.5, DTrace has seen another improvement." - Adam Leventhal
How to get a Mercurial workspace after creating a ZFS clone - "I wrote about how I didn't know how to mix Mercurial and ZFS data sets together to get a new clone on a new dataset. Dave Marker provided this insight:
zfs create pool/ws/th199096/spe-build cd /pool/ws/th199096/spe-build hg init echo "[paths]" > .hg/hgrc echo "default = ssh://anon@hg.opensolaris.org/hg/nfsv41/nfs41-gate" >> .hg/hgrc hg pull -u
The trick is realizing that there is nothing magical about 'hg clone'." - Tom Haynes
Software Freedom = Brasil - "What is important in Brasil? Obviously football, samba dance, carnival and if you come here to Brasil and talk to developers: open sourced software. This week in Brasil the community of developers, including students, came together for 3 days. The above picture shows you the density of a city discovered
in the year 1532. The picture also represents a world leader, as a
country, for progressing open sourced software. Today 1 out of ever 10
software developers reside in Brasil!" - Bob Porras
