#afsctool ou comment gagner des gigaoctets d’espace #disque sur Mac OS X

Depuis la version 10.6 #Mac_OS_X a une fonctionnalité cachée : dans son filesystem HFS+, il est possible d’avoir des fichiers compactés. Un seul utilitaire Apple permet de compresser : ditto, qui permet de faire une copie d’un fichier ou d’un répertoire.

Un certain @brkirch a eu l’idée d’écrire un autre utilitaire, afsctool, pour gérer plus finement cette fonctionnalité :
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=780570

Ce logiciel est téléchargeable et dispo sous GPL.
http://brkirch.wordpress.com/afsctool

C’est une ligne de commande qui mériterait sans doute d’être joliment packagée ; je l’utilise avec sudo pour ne pas avoir de soucis de droits.

# pour l’installer :
sudo cp Downloads/afsctools_34/afsctools /usr/local/bin/

# pour compresser un répertoire :
sudo afsctool -ck Documents/

# pour lire les infos sur un répertoire :
sudo afsctool -v Downloads/
Number of HFS+ compressed files : 2087
Total number of files : 2726
(...) Compression savings : 12.0%

il semble qu’on peut pratiquement tout compresser ainsi sans perte de performances (la perte de CPU liée à la #compression est compensée par les transferts accélérés) ; par contre il faut éviter de compresser /System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi, sinon ton système ne sera plus bootable

Create an Equalizer for All Audio in Mac OS X
http://osxdaily.com/2012/05/18/equalizer-for-all-audio-mac-os-x

Ever wish you had a system wide equalizer to adjust all audio output in Mac OS X and not just in iTunes? Maybe you want to adjust the way all audio output sounds or maybe you just want to boost the output volume of the built-in Mac speakers.

Why does #Transmit sometimes hang when I try opening
files into #BBEdit ?
http://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/faqs.html

Transmit (or any other file transfer app) may sometimes hang when you try opening files into BBEdit on any Mac running OS X 10.8.2.

This problem is due to an event-handling bug in OS X 10.8.2 which we and other developers (including Panic) have already reported to Apple.

If you encounter this problem, here are a couple of alternative approaches you can take:

– Use Transmit’s “Mount as Disk” capability to attach the server(s)
you work with as locally-mounted volume(s) from which you can
open & edit files.
– Open remote files directly into BBEdit via File → Open from
FTP/SFTP Server.

même problème, mais j’ai finalement trouvé une autre autre solution : j’ai créé une action #automator « open with bbedit », que j’ai stockée dans le répertoire de BBEdit, et que j’utilise comme application externe d’édition de fichiers

Platypus is a developer tool for the Mac OS X operating system. It creates native Mac OS X applications from interpreted scripts such as shell scripts or Perl, Ruby and Python programs. This is done by wrapping the script in an application bundle along with a native executable binary that runs the script.

Installing sphinx on Mac OS X 10.8.2 (using macports)

– download source from
http://www.sphinxsearch.com/downloads.html
ou
# svn co http://sphinxsearch.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

– port install mysql55 (not mysql-devel which is deprecated)

– modify two paths in the configure file: /usr/local becomes /opt/local/

# hack to locate expat/iconv in /usr/local on BSD systems
CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I/opt/local/include"
LIBS="$LIBS -L/opt/local/lib"

– then the usual:
# ./configure —with-mysql=/opt/local/lib/mysql55/ —with-libstemmer –enable-id64
# sudo make install

for configure options:
# ./configure -help

PHP 5.3/5.4 for OS X 10.6/10.7 as binary package
►http://php-osx.liip.ch

This package installs the (usually) latest PHP 5.3.x/5.4.x on OS X 10.6 (aka Snow Leopard) and OS X 10.7 (aka Lion) in /usr/local/php5. It installs many useful extensions (see below) and ini-settings and is what we at Liip and Local.ch use for our development. It’s especially suited for Symfony 2 development. It also provides a decent php.ini with all settings configured according to “Best Practices”.

It only works on a 64-bit-capable system. This means not on very old hardware with Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo processors

KMeans - Cluster 3.0 for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Unix
http://bonsai.hgc.jp/~mdehoon/software/cluster/manual/KMeans.html

“Since the initial cluster assignment is random, different runs of the k-means clustering algorithm may not give the same final clustering solution. To deal with this, the k-means clustering algorithms is repeated many times, each time starting from a different initial clustering. The sum of distances within the clusters is used to compare different clustering solutions. The clustering solution with the smallest sum of within-cluster distances is saved.

It should be noted that generally, the k-means clustering algorithm finds a clustering solution with a smaller within-cluster sum of distances than the hierarchical clustering techniques.

The parameters that control k-means clustering are the number of clusters (k) and the number of trials.”

#Apple announced an important “Security” feature: Gatekeeper. In Apple’s own words:
Now you can choose from three security options. You can download and run applications from anywhere, just as in OS X Lion. To be even safer, download and run apps from the Mac App Store and apps with a Developer ID. Or download and run only apps from the Mac App Store — the safest setting of all. #Gatekeeper lets you decide which setting is best for you.
