Bit-parallel text search algorithms like this are all covered in ridiculous detail in the book Flexible Pattern Matching In Strings by Gonzalo Navarro and Matthew Raffinot. (Also don't skip the errata here.) It's a good book (if you're willing to accept that it's biased propaganda for bitwise string searching while claiming to be an impartial recipe book for all string search algorithms) which even deals with fuzzy approximate text matching using these techniques.
What makes it so interesting is that this is the first time I've seen the full extent of bit twiddling hacks, developed in theoretical depth in "Hacker's Delight", really pushed extensively to solve a real problem. I mean, occasionally you would see Population Count or Clear Lowest Bit as an optimization trick in a chess program, but these guys use all of it as the basic technology for their field.
Sun Wu and Udi Manber were probably the first people to spot that, so long as the complete set of states fits inside a machine word, the CPU can be seen as simulating a Nondeterministic Finite Automaton very, very quickly. At that point, the race was on, and every new "bit hack" discovered extended the range of NFAs that could run inside a register. Combine that with code generation, as the article here does, and you've got something that runs like a bat out of hell. (But you'll notice the big problem is that it can tell you a regular expression match ends, but it can't tell you where it starts!)
I throw this out there every. single. time. and only one person has ever taken me up on it.

That's the platform I work on. My title is technically Software Developer, but I spent 90 minutes today helping one of our managers put the finishing touches on a form on the platform today - literally moving form fields around on a page so that it would 'flow' logically for the user of the page. ZERO actual scary 'But I'm not a computer person' Programming.
The demand is there, and nobody believes it.
We went to a ServiceNow User Group meeting in Sacramento last year and the lovely host from Accenture (HUGE firm) tried to recruit my better half. Fly to Minneapolis for a week for training, then start working on projects for clients on a "fly in/fly out" basis. My SO has a PhD in Clinical Psychology and the host was still trying to recruit her!
As for me? In a couple months, I'll celebrate my 5 year Remote Work-i-versary. With 6 years experience, the jobs I'm interviewing for are offering $70-80/hour.
The demand is there...and in 5 years of throwing this out there, only one person followed up... :/
A lire sur ce sujet: How The Web Was Born, un livre passionnant qui explique la naissance d'Internet.
Pourquoi le projet Cyclades, en avance sur Arpanet à l'époque, est mort finalement ? Deux raisons: politique et politique.
Sourire entendu des technocrates: le X25, qui permet de facturer au paquet, avait gagné la partie. Comme quoi la courte vue et le manque de modestie peut faire perdre à un pays le leadership en matière de haute technologie.
Ah, je vous rassure: les petits technocrates qui tuèrent Cyclades furent célébrés et promus comme il se doit. Les Louis Pouzin, eux, se contenteront de discrets hommages et remerciements, notamment américains.
Après, ce n'est peut être pas si mal que ce soit Arpanet qui ait gagné la guerre: l'Europe, avec ses normes ISO capillotractées et ses comités industriels aussi politiques qu'incompétents, aurait de toute manière fait aller dans le fossé le projet.
Aye. And personally, I'm not a huge fan of using edit distance for fuzzy searches in most cases. I've found n-gram (with n=3 or n=4) to be much more effective. And you can use that in conjunction with bitap, for example, by using an n-gram index to narrow down your search space. I use an n-gram index in imdb-rename.
If you like algorithms like bitap, you'll definitely like Flexible Pattern Matching in Strings, which covers generalizations of bitaps for regexes themselves, for both Thompson and Glushkov automata.

I didn't specifically check your card, but if /u/phessier (and a team) is working on a patch for it, your wifi should be supported soon. in the interim, maybe try picking up a supported USB wifi dongle?

Also check out their IRC channels, forums, and mailing lists.
I am sure many people will add to this but what I find is the biggest gap is not having a good base of understanding of why all of this "Infrastructure" is needed.
There is so much content to learn and I am not even scratching the surface. There is much to learn and you are not alone.

I started my daughter off with Korora when she was 6 yo. She is 7 now and knows how to push the necessary buttons to do software updates and install programs in the GNOME Software Centre, so 9 is not too young. If she is still running Linux and is conformable with it by the time she gets to middle school we'll talk programming and whatnot.
> Still I want her to be able to figure out how to use the operating system beyond just trial and error and aimless clicking, if that makes sense.
When the time is right I would get something like Linux For Beginners.
Check out /r/sccm. SCCM is really a beast and requires a great amount of planning and care depending on your environment. You can set it up poorly, and it'll still work. You'll just have a lousy experience and think it sucks. It depends on your environment.
I'd recommend building a lab and buying a book to really learn about all the features and how to implement them. I know this is for 2012 R2, but the examples should still be relevant to the Current Branch release. It just won't have info on the new features. There's too many different topics to cover to fit into a single tutorial. I manage about 10k clients using SCCM. If you have more specific questions, I can do my best to help.
Books online is the first stop
I mentioned a dead-tree book upthread as well that helps to rework the backup/retention strategy to fit within the workflow CV provides.

It works even for the last versions of openBSD? I will be happily buy it if yes!
If you're talking about pulling 1 drive and reading the content fully on that one particular drive, then no RAID/btrfs soft-raid/mdadm/ZFS/hardware RAID is going to provide that unless you do a RAID 1 on a compatible system.
If you want cross platform (BSD/Linux), the answer is soft RAID with ZFS, that will work anywhere and require the least spending in hardware to make operational and have a decent featureset.
----
With that all said, no RAID of any kind is a backup, hard drives are mechanical devices and flash chips wear down, they will eventually die in some form or another. If you want a backup, then you need three copies of your data, one, the original, two, the local backup storage, three, off site in a non mountable fashion.
----
Anyway, I do want to point out the way you started this topic was in a bashing manner along with showing how little time you've put into the research of ZFS. There are books that can teach you fundamentals like https://www.amazon.com/FreeBSD-Mastery-Advanced-ZFS/dp/0692688684 and https://www.amazon.com/FreeBSD-Mastery-ZFS-7/dp/0692452354 if you like reading.
Typically iOS devs at their level of polish are using core data to store information about the app entities. This is a object graph system that maps to disk, the web, a database, or really anything else.
Marcus Zarra wrote an excellent book on doing this.
To get the numbers, they then do fetches from the object store, then count things. Count things by days, or by type, etc.
Ext4 has sort of just been around for forever (since it's revisions of Ext3 and Ext2) and I always just accepted it as "there". Sort of like NTFS for Windows, it's the thing you use with Linux.
For ZFS, I did come across this ZFS on Linux admin guide a few months back and it's been really useful in getting to the nitty-gritty. And of course, there's always Michael Lucas and Allan Jude's book on ZFS for FreeBSD.
Thanks for the advice! I'm still new to bash scripting and can make use of that. The "put your then's and do's on the same line as your for's and if's and while's" for example makes a lot of sense, coming to think about it.
Also, in #bash they told me the same thing about variables: Only systemwide variables like EDITOR or PATH should be uppercase, else lowercase. Guess Jason Cannon's "Shell Scripting" was wrong about that. ;)
Keeping my own index file is what I plan to do next. Again, the #bash elders advised something similiar: To keep all mp3s filenames in an array. That might hog some memory but it supposedly faster than searching the whole filesystem.
NSUSerDefaults is meant to be used with strings, booleans and NSData representation of other data (serialised). I believe you serialise your class to be stored into UserDefaults which is fine.
When I started developing on the iPodTouch2G, I had issues storing and retrieving data more than a few hundred kilobytes. I took some months to understand the basics of CoreData (I never wanted to use raw SQLite, which is an option). Even today I have not mastered it because mastering core data can only happen with time and experience. I still don't like the way CoreData calls from multiple threads and the merge mechanisms but that is the way of life :)
Sooner than later your dataset will grow and you will be hard pressed for options. I suggest you start with simpler architecture (One entity with one property) and scale up the learning process.
This is a comprehensive guide to learning core data and mastering it ;) Core Data: Data Storage and Management for iOS, OS X, and iCloud (Pragmatic Programmers)! from one of the masters of core data.

This is the book I read to get started. You can play with the online labs for free at Microsoft. Then if you want, fire up esx on a machine, install some VMs and install sccm, but without goals/targets, you'll just be flipping around. The labs give you tasks to do.
Note, this book is 2012r2, not current branch.

Calls you out on your CMC language usage? You might want to buy a copy of this for her to red sometime then: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Txtng-Gr8-Db8-David-Crystal/dp/0199571333
OK I will just make points to prevent wall of texting.
Grammar =/= rules of language. It is one part of the whole thing. Grammar is also descriptive, and the rules are derives based on empirical study of the usage of native speakers. It can change, and does, naturally over time.
Beowulf was written in old english. It is a substrate precursor of middle and modern English, while an older form of french is a largely lexical contributor. I could have talked about Shakespeare, but I wanted to make more of a point. That language changes over time, even without outside pressures.
English is an evolving language that is completely unrelated to swahili, what you saying is equivalent to the crocoduck argument (http://wiki.ironchariots.org/index.php?title=Crocoduck).
Your definition of a language is pretty colloquial and quite different to the definition given by linguists, who are essentially language scientists.
This might help you http://ielanguages.com/linguist.html
I have read many books on language, sounds like you have read a school textbook on "grammar", maybe take a class in linguistics or read a book on it or something. Most of the "rules" you learn in school are heuristics and are in most cases incorrect descriptions of English syntax.
I would recommend you read this book.
http://www.amazon.com/How-Language-Works-David-Crystal/dp/158333291X
It is by David Crystal. He is considered to be a leading world expert on English Language especially British English and it's evolution over time.
He also wrote this book
http://www.amazon.com/Txtng-The-Gr8-David-Crystal/dp/0199571333
Which argues that text speak does not have a negative impact on literacy. He has also written ~120 other books.
haha. You are literally the first person Ive ever heard complain about anything other than cost.
Their services are literally the most reliable backup and DR product ive used in 10 years (between VEEAM which only did vms at the time, MSDPM, Backup exec etc.).
and a "production outage", its your data management system not your SAN. Yes it can be scary but they do have 30 minute call back windows and frankly when its taken a dive, im the only one that knows (and my boss of course)
Commvault literally is not a bottleneck ive seen on any system ive used (supporting my second deployment now), often its Disk IO with network being next. Literally get wireline speeds on backups. You just have to understand that storage is much more than capacity.
I literally don't have issues with their interface and quite like the granularity im given with subclient/storage profiles etc.
Sounds to me like you got in over your head, or didn't understand the system, much like people that claim Netapp/EMC^2 etc are "steaming piles of shit". Well yeah when you have no idea what is going on and you set raid group sizes to 5 disks or set luns for "windows" and then present to a different offset (like vmfs in VMware).
FWIW I learned all the ins and outs of commvault through a single 1 week class (that was average price at 8k compared to VMware and other vendors) and a single book.
http://www.amazon.com/CommVault-Concepts-Design-Strategies-Celauro/dp/1467953709/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1452282872&sr=8-2&keywords=commvault
But then again when I call vendors for support, its often to validate or work with me to figure out ways to solve an issue, not "your the vendor, fix my shit" kinda calls which I see a lot of from many admins..
The ZFS technology is that require ECC. You can use non-ECC hardware at your own-risk, but you can still use it with a relative safety.
OpenMediaVault do not have ZFS technology. So you can use standard hardware.
ZFS have several advantages. You want to dig into more information read this book:
http://www.amazon.com/FreeBSD-Mastery-ZFS-IT-Book-ebook/dp/B00Y32OHNM
OpenMediaVault is a good option too.
On the same subject, I will give you another very valuable piece of advice, which (almost) no one else will.
When you write shell scripts, you will need a text editor; and while it might not be the only editor you use, I would strongly recommend that you learn to use Ed. There is a book for learning it on Amazon, which is extremely easy to follow, and which offers exercises that cover the basics, after which you will be able to keep using it yourself.
Ed is a tiny, insignificant program, which is viewed with contempt by most of those who still know about it, and isn't even still included as part of a default install on most distributions; yet if you learn to use it, Bash, and the other text utilities which are incorporated into Bash scripts, you will be able to perform tasks for which most other people need much more complex programming languages. Mentally, I honestly compare Ed with a light saber.

_5. Read 'Weaving the Web'. In it, TimBL explains that HTML was meant to be just a way of linking to the real documents, in word processing formats, .ps etc. It was not intended to be the primary authoring medium, but people took it and ran with it, confounding their expectations.
Also recommended: How the Web was born.
