Technically there is no reason why they can't let you flip it around and wear it upside down, provided the software supports it.
Oh yeah, while I haven't read the source directly in years, it is much changed. I was referencing 2004, only six months or so after iRO officially came out of beta. To say it improved since then is an understatement. Based on what I last knew about the scripting capabilities of the Gravity server implementation (circa 2008), I can safely say that eAthena eventually came to provide an easier model for rudimentary content creation and management than the official software.

Never mind security. Trying to wrap your head around the code behind why opening a dialog via item X and performing client action Y on the keyboard would bypass what should have been a server-side security check for a very important game mechanic was a lesson in all sorts of SE principles. Unnecessary coupling and spooky action at a distance, for starters. Repeat this a hundred times and mix in a handful of SQL injection points, plus some fundamental disagreements in how and when the game's content assumed characters would appear on a new map, versus how and when the official servers actually worked.

I am curious if and how eAthena eventually deviated from some of the idiosyncratic behavior of the official game servers.

From what I've heard in the years since I stopped playing, though, is that Gravity took the profits from their microtransaction e-store and managed to actually plow that money into improvements for the GM team's ability to meaningfully manage their servers and community. So my first paragraph likely applies only to a bygone era.
Maybe it's comforting to think that somehow the Docker people strong-armed the whole world (maybe they're part of the Lennart conspiracy), but realistically they're not that powerful. People are adopting Docker because they actually like it.
It's definitely not too late, because there is not a single smartwatch on the market right now that has reached deep adoption. The Moto 360 has serious battery concerns and the Pebble Steel (the best smartwatch available right now IMHO) runs a fairly limited OS (which, on the plus side, gives it fantastic battery life).
How I miss Steve Jobs. He would never allow a POS like this to be revealed.
Think about the tens (hundreds?) of millions of teenagers that already have an iPhone - now they'll be able to "chat" back-and-forward at school, home, etc. etc. extremely easily and fast.

I honestly don't think too many people will be using it to tell time, they'll be using it to chat back and forward in a fast, convenient way and to interact with apps they love - twitter, Facebook, etc.

When you go to a restaurant or bar, how many people put their phone on the table and glace at it constantly? All of those people would use an Apple Watch.
Question that I didn't hear addressed anywhere in the talk or online yet.

Will the NFC capability be exposed to third party apps through the SDK in any way?

I'm curious because they started talking about the apps for iWatch right after talking about its features, but they didn't discuss NFC in any other context but its use via Apple Pay.

What do you all think?
You could put the bands on reversed, and the software could invert the screen but the knob would be on the bottom, vs. the top. It would work though not ideal.

Overly not impressed by the crown control... people who wear watches that need to be wound rarely do it while it's on their wrist. I would need to feel this "dial" control to be convinced this is a good idea.
Maybe Motorola beat Apple to the PTO with a design patent for a circle.
>you can train yourself to dedicate that bit of time you have free to working on your own stuff. It won't happen overnight, and you have to be understanding with yourself when you're tired, but a 40 hour a week job doesn't limit what you can do.

I find this to be very true. When I started out in the professional world, I rarely wanted to work at all on my own professional development after work. After a year or so, I became much more comfortable with my responsibilities at work and was a much more competent employee.

I found that frustration at work fueled my motivation to rise above the 'average' developer and truly master the technology stack that I currently work in. I started identifying activities that were eating up my time and my productivity (too much web browsing, too many games, etc). I started working on SMALL projects with realistic scope. Completing these small projects motivated me even more and the momentum helped me continue the trend.

Now coding outside of work is fun again, and even though I'm not changing the world, I know it made a noticeable impact to my skills as a developer.

OP, I think a lot of us have been in a similar boat. Making the transition into the real world can be an anxious or even scary time. Don't worry, keep your head up and don't try to focus on all of the unknowns at a once.

Look at your current employment as an opportunity for personal growth. If you are confident about your technical abilities, hone your interpersonal relations instead. Use the time wisely and try to reflect on your progress as objectively as possible. Try to find someone at work that you can get along with and maybe ask for advice from time to time.
Any comments on how easy or hard the change would be are.
Building discipline and consistency to do the tasks you don't value but need to be done are a huge skill necessary for any kind of success in any position, startup or otherwise.
there's a reason the wrist watch replaced the pocket watch.
No, but I wouldn't be embarrassed to wear it in public... ;)
Fitbit and Fuel Band prove there's a market, but these aren't mass market devices. Maybe the idea is to fit that functionality into a traditional mass market device and see if they can make it work.
There is no smartwatch market at the moment. Nothing out there save for the kickstarter release of the pebble has gained any positive buzz. If that continues then the 2015 release date won't matter. The price is another matter and may def. keep the watch from gaining any traction. Or it could play like the first ipod and iphone, with most everyone complaining about the price but sells well enough until price drops allow for ubiquity.
You're starting a job? Good, so your education is just beginning. It took about 5 years for me to feel comfortable, and really become proficient at software engineering. The job is not an end.

Years 5 through 12, I developed my skills in project management and people management. Being able to code is one thing, being able to plan out a project takes it to a whole new level. Instead of a 5-10k line of code project you are now working on 100-500k LOC projects.

In my late 30's I am now off on my own, started my own company and I am close to releasing my first product. The keys to making this happen are the extremely valuable experience I acquired by "just being an employee", also I saved about $200k before I quit "working for the man".

Getting a job is not an end, like I said it's the beginning. How much you learn from the experience is up to you. If you really want to eventually do something big focus on making every situation a learning opportunity, also don't get sucked in by the lifer's. Don't waste money on fancy cars, don't buy a house, don't get married. If you tie yourself down with debt and responsibilities you may very well find yourself working for the man until you retire.
Do you use to the mba without an external monitor and keyboard? I can seem to adjust to developing all day on laptop, thus wanting a mac mini upgrade.
You know they're not done yet? I mean, at least wait until the presentation is over before you complain that certain information wasn't provided.
BillGuard indeed has only access to data in a read-only fashion. Yodlee does have a mix of web scrappers as well as data feeds for certain financial institutions. They power different features for banks such as bill payment and others but companies like BillGuard don't have access to these APIs.

On its end, Yodlee is heavily regulated. Like a bank and sometimes even more: http://www.yodlee.com/yodlee-security/
How many emails do get a day? How much are you talking face to face with people? Wrist notifications are incredibly useful. Server down? Or just someone wanting to go to Chipolte? These devices enable us to filter out a lot of 'noise'.
>> You might be right, but do bear in mind that almost exactly the same thing was said about the iPhone.

But the difference is that the original iPhone was vastly better than everything else on the market in 2007/2008. It took a few years before we saw real parity from its competitors.

This Apple Watch appears to be a little bit better than its current crop of competitors, not vastly better.
Don't see how this fits with Apple's core competency—creating a hardware device in a category where competitive devices have poor usability and limited function. This is Apple's first "me too" mobile product, as far as I can see.
I'm sure you can turn it around.
> "I just don't think the watch market is really there. I feel like its shrinking steadily among younger people as the need for a time teller is replaced by the modern cell phone."

The market for a smartwatch isn't the same as the market for watches, in the same way that the market for smartphones isn't the same as the market of people who make phone calls.

Telling time is practically a formality on these devices, their selling point is basically everything else they do.

Whether or not Apple Watch is a competent entry into this category remains to be seen...
I don't doubt that the watch market is there. I just can't imagine myself wearing a watch. Having constant heart rate records is the only tangible benefit I can think of, but I'd rather have that on a much more subtle ankle or wrist bracelet.
I'm excited to see more about inductive charging. They showed anything about it on the presentation (I couldn't watch).

And also, it is said that requires an iPhone. Does it have to be nearby it? Are the phone and the watch always connected?
I think a watch would be extremely handy to have while running, cycling, kayaking, etc. Something to track activity, change songs, or show a map when you are unable to use your phone.

Unfortunately, the $350 price point is way too high for something like that.
What a myopic follow-up to what was originally a myopic blog post. Of course the denominations are a result of trying to minimize change for people who pay in cash. And tons of people pay in cash, especially since a lot of lower-income people rely on public transit. Getting cash into and out of a credit card is not cost-free for people who might not have checking accounts, get paid in cash, etc. The author needs to get out of whatever bubble he's living in.
The hardware decisions of the iPhone 6 (and especially 6 plus) closely follow what Android manufacturers have been doing for years.
"18K Gold developed to be twice as hard as standard gold."

Did they really say that? Ha! Who knew my 9K gold stuff was vastly superior to higher grades.
What's the advantage of this over an arm sleeve that your phone sits in for your specific use case though? Also, will you still have to have your iPhone on you or in your bag to use it at the gym? What tech is being used to communicate between the two devices and is it strong enough that you can wear the watch and have your iPhone at home? Sorry if they have answered these questions.
How about listening to your newborn's heartbeat while you are away? It's just a selling point :) I don't mind listening to my own heartbeat once in a while.
It is, when you're cycling.
And are incredibly dependent on picking which notifications to push to the wrist, implicitly raising their importance. Unfortunately, ml has not been a strong spot for apple historically, though after the maps debacle they may not underestimate it anymore.
To sum up: No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
This remains me about my own LFS/busybox based stuff http://freecode.com/projects/minili
"minili - miniMAL liNUX 3.8 MB size. You can download and burn it to CD/DVD or Try with virtual machines.If everything is fine,all you can do is,
to login to this linux and run few basic commands."
Ah, screw this.
I was hoping for
1) A round watch. Indeed, it looks geeky at best.
2) More talk about health options (sleep tracking?). Besides, after all the specialists Apple hired, it just measures your heartbeat and walking distance. An iPhone with an M chip can do that (OK, you won't probably have it with you all the time, especially when jogging), but still. And instead there's a load of talk about emoji, causing another user's watch to vibrate, notifications, etc.

I would've been fine with less functionality app-wise, a nicer overall look and a lower price. I don't need to watch photos and read twitter on my watch (it still needs an iPhone for that, right? So what's the friggin' point?)

The wireless things like payments and opening hotel rooms are kinda cool, though, but then again, I'd probably be too lazy/paranoid to enter the data into the watch than to get out my wallet/hotel room key.
zfs-initramfs is helpfully provided by the ZoL project and works great.

The biggest problem is actually grub: grub hasn't really been updated to handle feature-flags yet, so booting off a ZFS partition is tricky.

The easiest solution so far is just to keep /boot on a small ext4 partition, principally because ZFS changes seem to break grub a little too easily.
Tim Cook said about the magnet connector "so that you can easily charge it at night". So expect to charge it daily.
But it is? They've now playing music and have clearly moved on from the Apple Watch part.

Some thoughts here:

http://ask.metafilter.com/112098/Why-do-nerdsgeeks-like-Mont...
Good thing Apple didn't create just another watch. I own a Pebble and outside of persistent connection issues, when it would work, I became very used to it and it integrated well with my life. It appears the Apple Watch is a better executed version of Pebble, and as such, I'm an instant customer.
>> "watches are primarily fashion items, and every single person has an often quite different preference from the next person. I have a very specific style of watch I like to wear, and there's zero chance Apple or Samsung is just going to happen to make that style."

I think it's important to remember than most people under around 30 years old do not wear a wrist watch. So they probably don't have a specific strap or face style they like. They want something cool something that makes it easier to take selfies or send stuff to Facebook.

I think that we will look back on this like the first iPhone. Very cool but missing lots of obvious features. If they can sell enough of them they can afford to push the research to make them smaller, faster, and better and in a few years we'll have the equivalent of the iPhone 4 which is when I think the iPhone finally nailed it. But to get there you have to start somewhere. I think this is the right place to start. It's good enough, it's better than what's out there, and lots of people will buy it.
NFC payments are awesome. Can't wait to try it.
Possibly the ugliest of all smartwatches, useless for the majority of people out there, not likely to be on the wrists of most of the target demographic (they already own watches and fitness bands), and incredibly expensive. Not sure how many people need a watch to tell them that their phone is ringing.

Good job, Apple. While I'm sure there will be some adherents who will buy whatever you will produce, the Android watch makers will already be on their next iteration AND will have seen your specs to boot. Never thought I'd say this, but Apple has fallen WAY behind in terms of product design.
>if your BTCUSD is based only on total BTC circulating you're doing it wrong

Thats how it works. Supply which is the number circulating and demand. The supply keeps going up with every block. Bitcoin needs to find ~$1.6m of new demand every day to stay at the current price.

>What I'm interested in is how much each transaction actually costs to miners

I'm not sure what you mean here. How much it costs a miner depends on how many people are mining which depends on the price. It scales and generally sits around break even though there have been long periods(many believe now is one) where almost all miners will be running at a loss.
Agreed. And I think it should be less about "the rest of your life" and more about the next best opportunity. Do the best you can in the place you are now, and it will lead to possibilities that you didn't know existed or were possible. I am not rich or famous and I wouldn't say that I've made any significant impact on humanity, but I am very happy in both my work and personal life. Ten years ago, I would have never imagined my situation would look like it does now.
iPhone 6 announced
U2 on iTunes
That's the single feature that the Apple Watch has that I'm interested in. Over the past year, I've been integrating NFC into a huge part of my daily life (from implants to door locks to smart tags all over my house) and having it in a watch is killer. Just not enough to jump back to the iPhone. Can't wait to see the Moto 360 r2 with NFC.
I think it is great to be skeptical, and it is fun to slag on Apple, especially if they insist on having U2 play their event.

But on a more serious note, I won't underestimate the potential for a widely adopted device that is:

1) always visible to the user. Yes, in my opinion taking my phone out of my pocket and putting it back in again is one of those irritations you don't notice until it goes away and then you wondered how you lived for so long doing that dumb behavior. Setting your phone on the dinner table, constantly looking at it when you are trying to walk around town ... the watch could be subtly revolutionary for those thousands of glances a day.

2) always touching the user. I am extremely excited, or at least intrigued, by what is possible with persistent two-way haptic communication. Without having used the dev kit, and without feeling the actuators, I don't know how nuanced the communication can be. But there could be a whole new world here.

Just a thought from the "maybe they aren't idiots at Apple" perspective.
Presumably no one would expect that it lasts more than a day. The real trick is getting it to actually last an entire day.
I would be in favor of opening the code., especially if it was opened as FOSS
I'm guessing either they'll make a left handed version, or you'll be able to just flip it (positioning the crown to the bottom on the right hand wrist), and the screen will be able to flip accordingly.
Stripe and Apple Pay
Apple Watch hands-on: a rounded, square wonder
Sorry, I just had to be the one to say it. If SJ were presenting, he would have focused 10 minutes on how this device was the best and most precise thing at telling time. He would have shown how the hardware surpassed anything a mechanical watch would have ever done and it would be the time/watch nerds dream device.

With all the compromises in size and battery life, this is what you would gain in return for it. Instead, it was sold as a "me too", complementary device, just with Apple magic thrown in there.

So now in the end, I don't need a mini-iphone on my wrist or do I want one. I can just as easily pull the phone out of my pocket as it takes the same amount of time.

Such a shame really, because it's obvious that Apple had their brightest engineers work long hours on it.

happiness is not obtained by achievement, its acquired by consciousness and awareness. read way of the peaceful warrior by dan millman if you get a chance. stumbling upon happiness is another great book, good to know how your mind works, allows you to be aware of why you think the way you do and act accordingly. if your bad at socializing, practice, its gets easier, just like coding.

live a little, sounds like your already burnt out. pick up some hobbies, learn new things. inspiration comes from strange places.

oh, and there is no need for self deprecation. everyone's got issues... accept them, work on bettering the ones that bother you the most.
Show HN: Bullet – A simple email script to help your team track daily work done
It's nice seeing other people feel this way -- because at least I'm not alone! Although my story's different, we're in the same boat.

I graduated last month, 2nd in my class for computer science. I previously interviewed with Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Twitter -- all rejections! It was super depressing. One of my only friends at school landed a job at Twitter and his GPA was much lower than mine, he didn't work as hard, and now he gets paid 50% more than I do. Yes, 50% more, no exaggerations. Fuck me, right? haha

So what am I doing now? I started my first full-time software engineer job last Tuesday with the same Fortune 500 retailer I did internships and co-ops with in the past. I code business applications for the company, it's fun but not super interesting. I'm making good money -- not top dollar, but a fair salary (maybe a little lower than I expected for having 4 internships before graduation, but still.)

The real world is boring and no matter what work you're doing, it's probably not going to be super interesting. Think of it this way, even Google needs teams to do their boring work... I'm sure there are bored people at Google getting paid much much more than me (and you)!

Needless to say, I'm not excited about my job. I'm excited about getting paid, but work is work. I'm working with the frameworks and languages that I want and I think that's all that really matters in the end.

The last thing you need to keep in mind is that the work you're going to do, as a programmer/engineer, will most likely NOT change the world. Company's taglines like "Come Change The World With Us" -- shit like this -- is used so you think their company is doing great things, but they really aren't doing anything great. They use these strategies to attract top talent. It's the same reason Target and Coke use the color 'Red' to sell their products via their label (red means cheap!) Honestly, if you really want to change the world, change professions... and remember, becoming rich != changing the world -- you could own a sweet startup that does nothing more than sends "Yo!" to a friend on your friends list, but this doesn't change the world.

So what can you do now that you're bored and you're fortunate enough to have a job in this economy? My suggestion is to work on something you really care about on the side. Make a project for yourself or work on an open source project that you think is helpful or "world changing". Live your life day by day and every now and then think about "how can I make my life easier" -- and build something that does make it easier.

Transitioning from school to the real world is really weird. I've done it 4 separate times before graduation (internships and co-ops) and I've always loved work way more than school. We all have high hopes for graduation and when we don't get what we want, we can dwell on it for some time. Your best bet is to take things slow and take action on ideas when they come to you in your free time. Work on open source projects or make something for yourself. Be happy that you have a job and can pay off loans (if you have them)

Sorry this response was so long, but I hope it helps in some way :)
