What is Nuitka
The TL;DR ...

Nuitka is a Python compiler.

It's fully compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3.

You feed it your Python app, it does a lot of clever things, and spits out an executable or extension module.

Free license (Apache).

In this article, I will show you some of the best JavaScript libraries for graphs / charts. These libraries will help you create beautiful and customisable charts for your future projects.

While most of the libraries are free and open source, some of them provide a paid version with additional features.

HashTab provides OS extensions to calculate file hashes and supports many hash algorithms such as MD5, SHA1, SHA2, RipeMD, HAVAL and Whirlpool. As Windows desktop software HashTab runs as a Windows shell extension and on the Mac it is implemented as a Finder plugin. HashTab provides an easy way to verify file integrity and authenticity.

The plugin can load and save the following features of Photoshop .PSD files with no loss of fidelity:

    RGB images
    Color depth of 8 bits per channel
    Raster images with no use of vector features
    Layers, using the common blend modes
    (Optional) RLE compression

In this way, you can use the plugin to exchange work between Paint.NET and other programs. This is especially important since Paint.NET preserves layers only for the default .PDN format — other file formats are flattened on save. The .PSD file format thus offers the best way to preserve layers when editing an image in multiple graphics programs.

In this post we are going to progressively illustrate some of the full-text search features in Postgres.

A very accessible introduction to the PDF format, for the curious :)

apt-dater provides an ncurses frontend for managing package updates on a large number of remote hosts using SSH. It supports Debian-based managed hosts as well as rug (e.g. openSUSE) and yum (e.g. CentOS) based systems.

Features:

    keep dozens up to hundrets of (GNU/Linux) hosts up to date
    generic apt-dater-host protocol to manage different package managers
    filter hosts by Tcl expressions
    multi instance capable
    spawn ssh-agent on startup (optional)
    run multiple connections in parallel using screen
    no root login required, use sudo to call package manager (optional)
    record any screen activities during install/upgrade/connect for traceability(optional)
    export host informations to XML for automatic processing
    upgrade hosts part of clusters one after another
    host informations collected:
        LSB informations (distri, codename, version)
        installed, upgradable, broken, extra and hold back packages
        identify physical/virtual machines
        kernel version and check if the most recent kernel is running
