2013-07-16 Les trucs que je ne sais jamais quand j'en ai besoin

I read two blogs about stuff I never remember when I need it. I often manipulate text file and I know the linux tools are doing quite a great job about that. But I never remember the syntax. This blog post seems to be a good pointer: Useful Unix commands for data science.

The second is about mutex and lock. The second one is used to synchronize threads among a single application. The first one (mutex) is used to synchronize processes among them (but also threads as a consequence). And if you want to use mutex all the time because it is convenient, you should read this blog post first: Lock vs. Mutex.
