The Awesome BitTorrent Sync

The BitTorrent Sync is really an awesome tool for syncing files between your different devices. Currently, it supports Windows/Mac/Linux. The software is not like dropbox(cloud services stored you files on their servers),  it syncs folders among your own devices(the security is protected by a secret key and encrypted file transfer). And actually BitTorrent Sync is not Dropbox killer, the two services are both just awesome in their own way. Dropbox is still consider to be my own online safe storage, but BitTorrent Sync can be used as much faster sharing and syncing.

For example, you may setup it on Linux via follwing steps

#Downloading and unpacking
wget http://btsync.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/btsync_x64.tar.gz
tar vzxf btsync_x64.tar.gz
#Copy to /usr/bin/
sudo cp btsync /usr/bin/btsync
#Generate the config from sample config
btsync --dump-sample-config > ~/btsync.conf
# Edit the ~/btsync.conf based on the embedded comments
# Detail config in linux, please refer http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync/get-started.html#config-file

Note BitTorrent Sync will always use the latest file, versions of files is not supported yet.

A simple implementation of DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) in C#/python

DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) is a very useful tools for time series analysis. This is a very simple (but not very efficient) c# implementation of DTW, the source code is available at  https://gist.github.com/1966342  . Use the program as below: double[] x = {9,3,1,5,1,2,0,1,0,2,2,8,1,7,0,6,4,4,5}; double[] y = {1,0,5,5,0,1,0,1,0,3,3,2,8,1,0,6,4,4,5}; SimpleDTW dtw = new SimpleDTW(x,y); dtw.calculateDTW(); The python implementation is available at  https://gist.github.com/3265694  . from python-dtw import Dtw import math dtw = Dtw([1, 2, 3, 4, 6], [1, 2, 3, 5],           distance_func=lambda x, y: math.fabs(x - y)) print dtw.calculate() #calculate the distance print dtw.get_path() #calculate the mapping path

Install mysql-python with mariadb

mysql-python requires libmysqlclient-dev in ubuntu, but the installation of mariadb will have the lib with unmet dependenccies, so the error of "mysql_config not found" may occurred if you install mysql-python via pip. The case is that mariadb has a compatible package, if you have the ppa setup as in  http://downloads.mariadb.org/ . Just "sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev".

The default CREATE TABLE options for Aria Engine in mariadb

The official document of mariadb does not mention the default CREATE TABLE options for tables using Aria Engine.  The default options are list as below: TRANSACTIONAL,  the default value is TRANSACTIONAL=0, i.e., non-transactional. ROW_FORMAT, the default value is ROW_FORMAT=PAGE, which may suits both transactional and non-transactional tables. PAGE_CHECKSUM,  the default value will follow aria_page_checksum system variable, which has default value ON. For the TRANSACTIONAL option, you may consider create a table as below(and ALTER the TRANSACTIONAL=1): CREATE TABLE `test_table` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=Aria; If you change the ROW_FORMAT to DYNAMIC or FIXED, everything just goes fine. But if you have ALTER the table with TRANSACTION=1 and change the ROW_FORMAT to DYNAMIC or FIXED, you may got a warning: SHOW WARNINGS; +-------+------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | Level | Code | Message | +-------+--
