Re: [OFFTOPIC] Time varying FSMs

Of course, anything more complicated than a non-programmable calculator can be considered to be a Turing machine (sometimes, with bounded memory capacity). However, it would be as useful as saying that every computer program is a function transforming an input (such as a series of events in a GUI

[OFFTOPIC] Time varying FSMs

After a brief Google search: Does anyone know about any research, theory or practice of time-varying finite state machines? I mean FSMs which might grow a new state, remove a state, add/subtract transitions by means of meta-rules. Given the research demonstrating the plasticity of the brain, such

Re: Copying kernel stack in a generic way

I think that any serious approach would include code for identifying the OS and OS version in question, and using this information to find the kernel stack. Any generalized heuristic would risk missing pathological OS configurations and new versions. On the other hand, reliance upon OS

How to sort a file by pure ASCII order?

I encountered a counterintuitive behavior of 'sort' in modern Linux releases. I checked the sorting behavior of sort, as installed in Debian Jessie and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Turns out that the default behavior of sort (with locale=en_US.UTF-8) is not to sort by ASCII order, but as if letters and

[SOLVED] Re: How to sort a file by pure ASCII order?

Thanks, Jonathan, 'LC_ALL=C sort' did the trick. Later I went back to 'man sort' and found there the warning to pay attention to locale when running sort. I missed the warning before... On Sun, 2014-09-14 at 17:15 +0300, Jonathan Ben Avraham wrote: LC_ALL=C ? On Sun, 14 Sep 2014, Omer Zak

Who is leaking memory in my Linux Jessie/KDE4 installation?

I have a 8GB PC which runs Linux Debian Jessie with KDE 4.4. My problem is to find out who is occupying almost 4GB memory some time after rebooting, even when nothing heavy is running. The heaviest applications that I run are: - A VirtualBox virtual machine occupying 3GB memory - Google Chrome

Re: Who is leaking memory in my Linux Jessie/KDE4 installation?

(-/+ buffers/cache) again nears 90%. So I am interested in finding who is hogging memory at expense of the buffer/cache memory. Furthermore, I'd like to find out who is hogging more and more memory as time passes on. --- Omer On Fri, 2014-08-29 at 20:14 +0300, Oleg Goldshmidt wrote: Omer Zak w

Does anyone use MATE (Gnome 2 fork)?

After reading Ilan Shavit's blog article about his disappointment from Gnome 3 (http://ilsh.info/archives/3084), I found about the Gnome 2 fork MATE (http://mate-desktop.org/). Before installing MATE on my Debian Wheezy system, I would like to know other people's experience with it. Thanks, ---

Re: replace string foo to bar AND bar to foo in the same file

Some context is missing - is it an one-shot job to be carried manually, or do you plan to run it automatically from a script? In principle, you first do: egrep thirdstring *.txt to make that the string 'thirdstring' does not exist anywhere. A script would need a way to select another

Debian Oldstable and Ubuntu 12.04 (Re: Winter clock issues in linux)

I checked the timezone in two Linux machines. One of them is Debian Squeeze (which is now OldStable), and the other is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (12.04.3 LTS, Precise Pangolin - running in a virtual machine). I found to my horror that the timezone definitions in them are rather out of date: $ zdump -v
