Thinkpads are generally well supported. UbuntuBSD is a very new project and it probably lacks some polish that you will find on other BSDs.

I've used both FreeBSD and OpenBSD and for me the split really depends on what you're after. Recently though, I've been using OpenBSD mostly. The install is dead simple (assuming you're not after complicated multi boot setups which require some fiddling). It may look arcane as it's just a script with no fancy GUI bangs but it get the job done very well.

I haven't installed FreeBSD recently, so I wouldn't be able to compare unfortunately.

In any case, both projects have extensive documentation that is a couple of levels above your average Linux distro doc. Make sure you consult it before hitting IRC / mailing lists with questions and you'll be fine.

Each BSD is often associated with a specific use case but I've found that they work just fine for desktop usage.

"the only solution seems to be to only allow installation from a trusted repository. I am still not sure why Windows/Apple OSX haven't adopted such a strategy (with a developer mode override option for some advanced users)."

Isn't that what Gatekeeper (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491) is supposed to be?

One weird thing w.r.t. Gatekeeper is that it seems to depend on everybody who downloads signed executables not via the App Store to blacklist them (by adding some extended attribute to the file)

I think a whitelist would be more reliable.
Thanks!

Static-vectors, on which Sketch depends, needs to have a working C toolchain (C compiler, linker, etc.) installed. Maybe that's the problem here?

If you do have the toolchain installed, and can call the compiler with "cc", then maybe sbcl's PATH is wrong. You can try copying your env PATH to .sbclrc:

(require :sb-posix)
(sb-posix:setenv "PATH" YOUR-PATH-STRING 1)
We have funding now, would be made public soon. So, we have enough to keep us going for a bit, and focus solely on the engineering challenges.

DGraph would support high availability, which means all our shards would be replicated 3x across servers, so in case one server fails, the shards would still be available for querying and mutations. In addition, shard movements to other servers would happen so the replication factor remains the same. We aim to achieve this using (Etcd's) RAFT protocol, by version 0.4.

RocksDB is just a medium for us to have something between the database and disk. All the data arrangement, handling, movement etc. happens above RocksDB. So, no there's no "distributed rocksdb" here.

It's ironic from my point of view because the article cautions against hasty generalizations, and that was a generalization I implicitly did upon first hearing about Hilbert's paradox of the Grand Hotel.
I got a new Samsung TV (Tizen), do you think I can write an app for it? Hell no!
I'm curious about this statement : is that as opposed to cloud apps ? Wouldn't you need to build high-availability into your apps whether they're running in the cloud or on dedicated ?

If you mean that you can have a load balancer in front of it managed by Amazon, that's true for dedicated as well (Akamai, CDNetworks, Limelight, even Leaseweb). Managed databases are available from most providers (usually without an API, but you can find them with an API as well).
I think APM should simply be passed as a parameter. Max it out at whatever is the theoretical maximum for a human (how often can the fastest person click buttons). Then you can challenge a player to a game where you offer something like 10% less than their average APM over the last n games.
It would actually be quite interesting to see how much APM actually influences the victory. You can easily test this by having cloned AIs play themselves at different APM values and come up with an added value per added APM measure.

Elements of API design: Delivering a flawless NFL experience
I took Matt Walker's class on sleep at UC Berkeley (Psych 133) and it was fascinating. Short-term effects of a lack of sleep are easily observable, and I'm sure we can all relate from personal experience. However, long-term effects of sleep deprivation are harder to determine. One of the few known correlations appears to be that people who are susceptible to psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia are more likely to experience them as they age, if they suffer from chronic sleep deprivation.

According to secret documents issued to interrogators at Guantánamo Bay, obtained and released by The Guardian, "the Casio F-91W digital watch was declared to be 'the sign of al-Qaeda' and a contributing factor to continued detention of prisoners by the analysts stationed at Guantánamo Bay. Briefing documents used to train staff in assessing the threat level of new detainees advise that possession of the F91W – available online for as little as £4 – suggests the wearer has been trained in bomb making by al-Qaeda in Afghanistan." United States Military intelligence officials have identified the F91W as a watch that terrorists use when constructing time bombs.

I regularly get messages from startups who are interested in me on AL. Every time I answer, I click the "I'm interested" button, and I add a message saying that there might be something up with the site. I never hear anything back even though the other side initiated the interest.

I also get an email from an AL engineer now and again asking if things are working. Not sure they are getting my responses, because they should have asked more questions given what I replied.

AL itself also interviewed me once, and they sent a socially incompetent guy who couldn't listen properly without reverting to a script. I would answer a question and the guy would literally ask the same thing again, as if he hadn't heard me.

Totally bizarre.
Since this is a brand new feature that isn't even accepted into the language yet, it obviously can't be made default. If they decide to make it the default behavior, there would need to be a period where the old bahavior is depreciated and triggers warnings, but not errors.

So sleep is something like garbage collection in Java? Some perceptions/thoughts you experience during the day need to be mived from a finite sized young generational heap to a long kived heap (ie convert important short term memories to long term memories). This then frees uo space in the young gen. heap for the next day. Dreams could potentially be the result of a reference check being performed to see which memories to move to a different heap and which can be discarded.

Hey guys, I am working on a product that makes different links consumable on mobile. Because hackernews is such a rich source of information, I am looking at making a hackernews link consumable on mobile. My biggest issue is the same, lot of information. Our current information on hackernews card shows minimal information about hackernews link. Mainly title, number of upvotes, number of comments and if its an article, then we fetch that article too. Its not a hackernews mobile client but we are doing it for multiple sources like producthunt, imgur etc so you can simple serach everything from this app and share a consumable card. But it is becoming very challanging to do the same for hackernews. I need honest feedback about if it is possible to do it for hackernews at all and if yes, what can I change? I know its a UX problem but I think would be better solved by users who regularly use hackernews

We got hunted on producthunt also so will get some feedback there too

Are you seriously advocating reporting someone to the police based on a one sentence secondhand account from a single dumb Hacker News front page post?

You have zero context for what happened here (could well be user error!) and yet you are encouraging an angry mob to go and SWAT someone.

Change the Game with the Intel NUC Kit NUC6i7KYK
What I appreciate about the old were from constraints imposed by the lack of CGI. Effects costed a lot and were used only when the ROI was huge. People used a patchwork of techniques to convey the idea. Famously, lots of Terminator 2 shots weren't CGI but giant puppet that looked like humanoid shredded metal.

The other part is 'live set'. Nowadays cameras are removed from the action, and are often on a plane, not moving through, near, close to actors. The first minute of Alien is telling, it walks through the ship, the steam, the wires. I felt more immersed than in Avatar with 3D glasses. Actors were framed closer, and felt a bit more connected too.
Masquerading private address with you GW public address and limit connection to outhoing one when ingress filtering is correctly done on your firewall/ISP side is quite efficient.

Good. It's now time to explore the market for people who want to quit/detox from the weed.

I'm not saying this in a sarcastic way - I've been smoking on and off for 20 years and I have great respect for the plant.

But it has this "self-limiting" property - sometimes you want to be with it, sometimes you want to take a break.

And taking a break is not trivial for some people.

This is were the secondary market can take form - helping people take a break/detox from marijuana.

This can take the form of books, websites, applications, seminars, drugs, whatever.

I suppose you are currently an employee at a company. You want to start your new business. You are working on "the private" project while working for the company. Your question is "Can I use my work resources for the private project?"

So the first thing to check is your contract :)

There is the top 1% that own and control 90% of the worlds wealth, then the "upper" classes that are doing very well thankyou and think they are the normal "if everyone just worked hard like me", then there is the rest.. the slave class

If the upper class (used to include an upper middle and middle class) was larger, and was the majority of the voting class and the top was no less than 2%, the balance of slavery can be contained and controlled and the fiction of a fair society can be perpetuated.

The reality is the top 1% exist in their own economy and the rest of us exist in our own, so when one of us makes a bucket load we are really only ripping off our fellow man.

When the super rich throw out more "free" cash eventually they reel it back in again to suck up more wealth from our economy.

It is important to remember the US reserve is a private bank of the top 1% that is NOT controlled by elected officials, and debt is the trojan horse.
