The Joy of Stats

Leisure

Statistics and such, by no means my best field, but explained by Professor Hans Rosling in this one hour documentary http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00wgq0l (NRK3) it is in fact very interesting and somewhat fun. Like: Can computers analyze our feelings? They can, by harvesting all sentences starting with “I feel” from the vast amount of blogs on the Internet, maybe mine as well?

In one hour people all around the world consumes 7092 tons of bananas…

Linux – find files older than 24 hours

Work/Geek

Something that easy turned out to be pretty hardcore

Take the file modification time in seconds and subtract the start time of the find program. This is the number of seconds in the past that the file was modified. Now divide by 86400 and discard any remainder. This is the number of days ago (as computed by the find command) that the file was modified. So the result you see is the expected result. You want:
-mtime +0
