Does FreeBSD play nice with resolutions higher than 1080? I mean, I know linux still has issues and I always thought *BSD a re bit behind when it comes to Desktop experience.

I think you should look for a good linux laptop 1st and check for FreeBSD compatibility.

While, I get what you are saying with regards to most people expecting wifi and routing in an all-in-one package, this is clearly not what Eero is meant to do. If someone buys this expecting it do everything, then they will probably be able to return it for a full refund.
Unless I'm missing something, the OP doesn't mention the word "now," and the sentence "I'm thinking of replacing my current XPS 13 running Debian with a FreeBSD laptop" implies that time is not necessarily of the essence. The Libre Laptop proposes an April 2015 ship date, which is about two months from now; as such, it seems like a useful piece of information, and I in fact came into this thread expressly to link to it.

OSX is very good at not having hardware compatibility issues, and you don't need to interact with it very much to open VirtualBox. While this is not the most performant option (OSX idles with a good chunk of RAM), it is probably the easiest and most reliable path to not worrying about hardware compatibility, drivers, etc.
None of those things you listed, except perhaps for the extremely broad and likely inaccurate "he has encouraged destabilizing the government in all ways possible," is an example of what I would call terrorism.

I like the tone of RethinkDB blog posts and announcements, it's usually more like "hey we just implemented this cool feature, check it out!"

I think you've got the wrong idea. It's not about numbing the individual from the suffering they are experiencing; it's about gaining a new perspective and transcending the part of you that perceives your impending death as a cause for suffering.
I think he's trying to imply that the current definition of terrorist according to the us gov would put the founding fathers as a match based on what they did.
So the thing about Atom (and any "disruptive" software) is that it doesn't have to be amazing at everything. It only has to be 10x better for some niche of people who will be this product's early adopters and evangelists.

That will gain it enough traction to prove itself in the market, and over the next few years it will fix all the problems such as the 2MB limit, and whatever else is there. And then, laggards (well, you're probably more of an "early majority" type of person in Crossing the Chasm lingo) will see enough value to join.
According to the page at https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OpenID#shutdown-..., the first user-visible warnings appeared in November 2014 (unless disabled by the site operator). 6 months is not an unreasonable timeline to make some minor adjustments to your auth system to make it OpenID Connect compatible (from a quick glance at the migration page, it basically required adjusting the auth URL and adding a few extra params).
I'm writing 20000 financial ticks per second into Mongo on commodity hardware, namely a bog-standard i7 with 32 gig costing less than 2k. I don't have a big budget. I don't have a lot of time to mess with ACID. There is no way postgres will do this for under 10-20k, without twice the work. I just need to keep up with the firehose of data I get from my financial application. I'm talking about my own big-data issue and even if a few records were ever to get lost, I don't care, because that's what big data is about: statistical sampling. And that does not require 100% in 100% of cases safety of every data point. That by the way, is the truth of big data. Who cares if a few records theoretically can be lost? I just need to capture as much as possible as fast as possible. Mongo fits perfectly. Redis would work, but I'd need 512 gig of RAM.....

I don't understand all the angst against this technology. If you need rollback-able transaction-guaranteed, exactly-once consistency, normalised schema with triggers left right and centre, you knew long ago that this wasn't the tech for you. Why is everyone so negative? I for one cannot wait to be able to store 4x more data on the same SSD, and using less RAM. In my view, Mongo is a massive enabling technology for startups on limited budget.
Indeed, though I'm a little more optimistic this time around. I think Leary and the rest assumed LSD was more-or-less guaranteed to produce profound spiritual insights in anyone who took it. Therefore, the primary problem was distribution: once LSD was available to the general public, society was guaranteed to "wake up."

Obviously, this was mistaken. Many people did take acid, have direct experiences of divine revelation, and go on to live happier, more fulfilled lives because of it. But many also took it primarily as a deliriant; they took it for fun, saw some neat visual hallucinations, maybe offended some people, maybe got wrapped up in a paranoid delusion. Or, even if they did "wake up," their excited babbling could appear very disturbing to observers, who often had no frame of reference for what the drug-user was going through. I'm sure it scared the hell out of a lot of them.

Clearly, psychedelics aren't a panacea for society's problems. But what we're seeing now is a return to the more reserved approach of administrating these drugs in a controlled setting, and primarily for the purpose of psychotherapy. I think psychedelics have a bright future as long as we avoid trying to "change the world" and focus on just helping one person at a time. I don't fault Leary for his optimism, but ultimately I wonder if he did more harm than good.

Computer chips: Engineers use disorder to control light on the nanoscale
I have been running FreeBSD on laptops since 2004. Right now the major problem you'll run into is that almost every system out there has Haswell video, and FreeBSD doesn't have a working driver for that yet.

That said, there have been a lot of commits recently preparing the tree for importing a version of the linux Haswell driver, so I'm optimistic that this will be fixed soon. In the mean time, unless your need for a new laptop is urgent, I'd suggest waiting.

The open-source academical licences are a good example.
For example, part of the Win32 kernel are open for academic and are heavily share between the classes, but the limitations are here.

For instance, this licence: http://opensource.org/licenses/AFL-3.0

It provide free usage, studying, display, publishing, but also explicitly says that some of the part could be binaries (machine-readable), you can't sell anything derivative, and the licence is personal with no right to give the licence to anyone else.

So, you can consult and modify in the frame of your academical work, but no more.
Oh I see, it comes up for me because I specifically use OpenID through my domain. That's just my problem then.
"There are specific parts that could be reduced to flow based programming (FBP), but it seems like the wrong paradigm for writing an entire game, as an example close to me."

Very much so! While I disagree slightly (a game could definitely be created this way – I have a background in game development), I'm 100% behind the statement that not everything has to be FBP.

In my case, I'm using FBP for one specific part of my application that dynamically manipulates large quantities of data – FBP made sense. As for the rest of the application, FBP could work but it would be because I want to implement it in FBP rather than using FBP because it's better at solving the problem at hand.

My intention with this article is to try and offer a fair view of one potential approach (out of many). I make a deliberate effort to try not to dictate what people should be using, rather leave it up to them to decide if it fits.
Well, they're at AT&T stores, many of which are in mall, and it doesn't look like it's helped any.
Being a minute late to a meter shouldn't constitute a $60+ fine. If being a "leech" means recuperating exorbitant fines that are primarily in place to increase revenue (so more money can be wasted), then count me in. I'm not trying to spend money allocated for my water and gas bills to pay a ticket that was issued for parking at a meter one minute after it had expired. I understand that yes, an honest mistake was made, but it didn't cause $60+ worth of inconveniences to the city.
I've often thought half the confusion with these could have been avoided if U3 was called the "unemployment indicator".

Welcome to the world of nethack! The amount of special case situations that have been programmed into this game over the last few decades are truly amazing. (Mostly because it somehow still works.)

I still remember the first time I ran into a kitchen sink.

Not sure whether "over the top" was meant as a complaint; I visited last summer, and thought the (obviously expensive) displays were pretty effective. The main grounds of the museum (the "tourist operation") also now has a bunch of interesting working replica gear, including a Bombe and some of its less publicized support equipment.

The computing museum is also interesting; BTW, in addition to the Colossus rebuild, they're also constructing a working EDSAC replica (using metallic delay lines instead of mercury tanks for memory, but otherwise as exact as possible), and have a bunch of other interesting old machines in the collection. For visit planning, though, it's open fewer days than the Trust-managed property.
All kinds of movements can have terrorists. Some are successful. Some aren't. It's one of those things in life where for the most part a successful movement can retroactively be seen as good. That is, if they fail they are typically forever terrorists. And that's necessarily so. So yes had the American revolutionary or French revolutionaries failed they would have been terrorists. No question really. Sometimes things require a revolution to resolve deep societal issues that affect a good majority... Sometimes a few people want a revolution (using terroristic tactics) where most people don't agree with that. This is why two sets of people can see a given act as acceptable and not --and would invert their opinion if done back to them.

Right from the article:

>“This raises questions about the US government’s definition of terrorism and whether they have expanded it to including hackers,” said Hanni Fakhoury, a senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Fakhoury said he was curious to know the identity of the “terrorist organisation” mentioned in the documents.

“If it was al-Qaida or Islamic State that would pose no problem for me, but if they were referring to Anonymous that would be a different proposition,” he said.
There is at least one self-described unspoiled ascension, in 2010:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.games.roguelike....

This did involve use of wizard mode (not for the unspoiled ascension itself, but beforehand for learning stuff).

People often ask how someone would learn how to perform the Invocation without spoilers. One intended answer by the DevTeam is to pay the Oracle for a series of major consultations, one of which (somewhat elliptically) explains the Invocation. The Oracle consultations aren't considered spoilers if you pay for them in-game.
Which is what I've just done.
Last year, iOS 7 adoption rate was at 80% at the same period:

The slow down of adoption of iOS updates is something that should worry Apple, and all developers invested in the Platform. That worries me…
So, are we disagreeing about the degree to which there is censorship on a media platform regulated by the government or the existence?

>It also makes you forever unimpressed with "interactive environments" and "complicated plots" of modern games.

Dwarf Fortress ruined modern gaming for me. I keep thinking "Why do they keep making new games when they could just make the old ones bigger and better?"

People love it when their games evolve over time. A new, small feature every week will keep people feeling refreshed and invested in the game.
The whole "DMT release upon death" thing has very little supporting evidence. https://www.erowid.org/chemicals/dmt/dmt_article2.shtml
It's my opinion, based on facts I witnessed, not vendetta. And I don't want somebody else to share the same fate.

You say it doesn't imply endorsement, but I think threads like this lower the barrier and increase probability of drug consumption. Multiplied by large audience, this gives some new drugs users.

Mentioning an object plants seeds in people minds. Mention oranges, you will have increased oranges consumption, mention Facebook React - more React users, mention coca-cola - increased cola consumption.

Also, humans are very social. Seeing group enthusiasm in the subject, individuals can lean to it. There are many experiments about this, one example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asch_conformity_experiments.
I agree. Harry Potter is a great "gateway drug".
I think that's a false dilemma. In my mind, part of "fighting" cancer is trying to mitigate its impact on your everyday life, and acceptance probably plays a key role in that process. It's not like being angry and afraid makes you any better at fighting a disease. If anything "fighting" and "accepting" could be said to go hand-in-hand, especially with respect to illness.
I look forward to hearing about a non-farming bot ascension (as the developer of this bot has suggested is possible!).
Agreed. Later, if dang gets his better url, his comment might read "17 hours ago" "the site of the current url" and we'll be thinking some proper source ripped off the content.

All of the solutions are sub-optimal, but preserving a history would be nice, at least.
Well, the Oracle will tell you about the Invocation Ritual.

What's you're not going to figure out spoiler-free are things like magic cancellation. Which is maybe not literally essential to winning, but you're going to have a tough time without it.
Are there any specifics anywhere regarding the positions, desired skill sets, or anything other than generic descriptions? I've seen a few people comment here about positions being in D.C., but I can't find any details like that.
"Flow" programming is great for non programmers.I used it to develop VST plugins on pc and when I was working in video editing(compositing).

However,I wouldn't use that to develop web apps.It's often quicker to actually write the code,since app development is rarely just about piping stuff.
Technically, the Oracle is supposed to dispense enough information to figure out most of the important stuff.

Of course, you'd have to be good enough at the game to survive to the Oracle and have the cash to pay for the major consultations. And you'd have to know that information source exists.

Since Nethack is a game where not knowing the details of some minor edge case can and will kill you dead, or deader than dead, I don't know of anyone who actually relied on that (though there may very well be someone).
This man was literally inventing modern computing and cryptography. Those papers must be very valuable for collectionists. This reminds me that I got to know recently about the famous Turing test being passed. Amazing. What a vision.
> Heartbleed isn't a memory safety issue though, which is what kicked this off.

It kind of is. It's just not of the type that "memory safe" languages fix for you, which is basically the point. If you define the scope of the problem in terms of what the proposed solution fixes then it tautologically fixes the entire problem, but it's still very important for people to understand that that doesn't mean it fixes every problem in that class.

> in C, I could end up executing arbitrary code by misparsing a network packet. In Rust, the worst I'll do is parse it wrong send invalid data onwards.

This is essentially what I'm talking about. It's still possible to execute arbitrary code in Rust, it's just not as easy. An obvious example is if your parsing bug is in the code that validates attacker-provided input before doing something sensitive with it. Or allows the attacker to flip a bit which is equivalent to remote code execution, like giving the attacker's account admin rights.

And even if "the worst" you do is parse it wrong and send invalid data, that's Heartbleed. The "invalid" data could be secrets.

The question you have to ask is, for all those memory corruption bugs in C, what does "memory safe" turn them into? They're still bugs, they're just not the same bugs. For example, a common way you get RCE in C is an integer overflow that leads to a heap overflow when the overflowed integer is used to allocate a buffer. But take away the heap overflow and the integer overflow is still there. Exploiting an integer overflow is highly context-dependent, but it's commonly possible regardless of whether it leads to a heap overflow. Being able to truncate the amount of Bitcoin being debited from the attacker's account or convert "username=rootxxxx" into "username=root" is arguably better than straight RCE, but not by very much.
ARM emits powerful new 64-bit Cortex for mobes, slabs
I wonder how this strategy is going to affect the bottom line of Microsoft. People writing with CLR languages are deploying web apps mainly (or only) to Windows now. They're going to have an option to deploy to Linux soon. This means less revenues from OS and DB licenses, so it looks bad. Do they expect a large number of people leaving Java, Node, Python, Ruby and picking up C# because of the Linux deploys? Those people would probably have to buy Windows and VisualStudio licenses to code in C# in a VM or just ditch Macs for PCs. More desktop licenses could make up for lost server ones but if I googled well a server costs more than a desktop. Or maybe they're playing a longer game: open source as much as they can, hope some network effect builds up, find out how to profit from it. In the medium term they might be losing money tough. Am I missing something obvious?
"Although the major effects of the increasing minimum wage won't be felt for a while, we've chosen to close now instead of waiting for two reasons. First, the minimum wage has already increased from $10.74 per hour to $11.05 (as of January 1st) and it will increase again on May 1st to $12.25. Continuing to pay the higher wage without any corresponding increase in income will expend the store's cash assets. In essence, the store will have less money (or inventory) six months from now, so closing sooner rather than later makes better business sense. But more importantly, keeping up our morale and continuing to serve our customers while knowing that we are going to close has been very painful for all of us over the past three months. Continuing to do so for even longer would be horrible. Far better to close at a time of our choosing, keep everyone's sorrow to a minimum, and then get on with our lives."

Source: the article.

Note: The raise to $11.05 is a 2.9% increase, and from $10.74 to $12.25 is a 14.1% increase. The 3% won't kill them right away, but the 14% would hurt quite a bit more.
The GUI with NoFlo is one of the major reasons why this is different to the previous attempts at FBP (that and it's JavaScript). What I also love is that it's all released under MIT: https://github.com/noflo
The sheer level of interest combined with the widespread lack of knowledge about supplements makes them easy to exploit in ways that would normally not be tolerated.

I think they'd rather get their JTRIG shills to downvote me than to risk the public gaining a sense of clarity in how they operate.
I went just before the lottery funding (2009 i think?). The national museum of computing was reasonably new - obviously the intended purpose was to attract more people and stop it falling down. The split was successful in this way. I appreciated both sides - bletchley park was a lot more history (with volunteers who could tell you more about it than you needed) and the NMC had old consoles set up playing games, amongst the rebuilt WWII stuff. Best museum ive (group) i b e been to anywhere. Im happy they are getting more funding though of course the quality will gradually decrease.
