Safari has an upload problem, we found a work around

#Safari Upload Issue

tldr: Safari on OSX has an issue that causes uploads to silently fail. We implemented a workaround in EvaporateJS.

###The Issue At videopixie we use EvaporateJS to upload a lot large files (20GB+) directly to AWS S3, and we do lots of logging to make sure it's all running smooth.

We started to see an increase in failed uploads. The logs revealed a few interesting things:

  1. The failures were occurring when the progress of an XMLHttpRequest (xhr) was silently stalling.

A super-barebones single-column responsive email template, assuming a max-width of 540px. Read about it on the Fog Creek blog.

Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

  • One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
  • A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

  • Unison for file synchronization
  • EncFS for folder encryption

Mathematics: What do grad students in math do all day?

Mathematics: What do grad students in math do all day?

by Yasha Berchenko-Kogan

A lot of math grad school is reading books and papers and trying to understand what's going on. The difficulty is that reading math is not like reading a mystery thriller, and it's not even like reading a history book or a New York Times article.

The main issue is that, by the time you get to the frontiers of math, the words to describe the concepts don't really exist yet. Communicating these ideas is a bit like trying to explain a vacuum cleaner to someone who has never seen one, except you're only allowed to use words that are four letters long or shorter.

What can you say?
