Frosty and Swandy are a waste for a wizard, especially because you have to #offer mountains of sacrifices to get the skills unlocked. Mbane enchanted is enough of a weapon on its own along with attack spells. And you can get dagger skill up to expert easily.

Those swords barely do any more damage than Mbane even in the hands of combat classes.
They fudged it only for a small portion of world population that's using body parts lengths instead of metric system to measure things.

It's exactly 8.8392 kilometers, seems highly scientific.
Same. I was expecting something more like Perl's good old "Acme::EyeDrops", which obfuscates your code, then pours it into an arbitrary ASCII art shape. That's a lot more work than just removing whitespace and using characters as pixels, but this guy is charging money after all.
Is it really that fragmented? There's essentially RedHat, Debian, and Slackware. At the level of app development for servers, everything seems pretty compatible.

As a desktop user I just switched from Xubuntu to Debian+Xfce and it's nearly identical.

I'm sure that people who work at the OS level see a lot of fragmentation and headaches, but to their credit it's largely hidden from the masses.

I think the opening for FreeBSD and everyone else is that with containers and virtualization, the movement is towards picking an OS per app, not an OS to run your entire business on.
Others have mentioned U6 etc.

The issue of the headline figure not capturing certain key features is mentioned as nauseum on CNBC a or any decent financial news source.

Gallup and the person who posted this is trying to make it sound like a revelation. Further almost all types of employment has improved.

Here in the UK we have a similar obfuscation technique where the opposition says more women are out of work than ever, whereas the government says more women are in work than ever. Both are true, but behind the scenes it is because there is the largest population of work aged women ever.
Yup.

They don't care one whit if you're homosexual, bisexual, asexual, what-the-fuck-ever. They care a lot if you can be blackmailed.
Yes, the initial request into play framework initializes the whole application, which is why you get the time out on first request.

The zkhost configuration you performed was for the kafka manager application itself, since it stores state in Zookeeper. Once started, you did the right thing by adding a cluster.
So, in the end, did you switch to IntelliJ? The suspense is killing me! :)
thanks for the post - ive never read any of this stuff before. ive only been a dev for 18 years ¬_¬
Seems fun, maybe. One of the big problems with my Facebook is the decreasing signal to noise ratio.
Dispond – cool app looking for experts
Kafka manager uses Zookeeper for all information, doesn't know what container is being used to run Kafka.

That is this kind of thinking of engineers vs. regular user.

You know why Windows users are so prone to viruses and such? Because they learned to click "OK". They learned it, because they always got the question/offer if they want to proceed or not. But a regular user don't understand those technical details and you know, they don't _want_ to understand those details. So we learned them to click "OK".

The best UX for the regular user is any UI where regular users have less choices of technical details.

I said that already the other day: as an engineer myself, I were chatting with another engineer about a product they have done (device integrated into a car for special purposes). I said to him, that something feels wrong with the interface. Yes, all the required information is present. Yes, probably I myself would have designed the UI the same way. But over the time I've got some sense in terms of UX, which a product makes it compelling or just doing its job.

The same you see with smart home. For how long there are HVAC controls out in the field by Honeywell and others? The better one are all programmable in all regards. But only Nest, which removed a lot from the interface made the big wave.
On your first point, most new things are subsidised by the rich at the start, and end up mass produced so the middle-class can have them, often times becoming commoditised to being in the reach of almost everyone. Computers are a good example. The world hasn't divided because of this. The divisions usually come in the form of "zero-sum" status goods such as high-end brands or jewelery that has little instrumental value.

On the second point, Gattaca is a fictional tale, and as such should not be used as evidence to "show" anything. It is, at best, a hypothesis, and one not optimised for accuracy, or subjected to any scrutiny at that.

My argument is that the point to which I was responding did not contain a coherent definition of freedom while implying that something is not freedom.
No iOS app, so that's a huge downside

Is there an open source Bitcoin exchange cms
hello guys , i am a school project and i would like 2 know if they is an open source bitcoin exchange cms. Thanks for the help
Do you have a link with some backstory on this? I'd be interested.
Maybe you just don't like traveling. There are lots of stories about traveling digital nomads on HN. That type of life never sounded interesting to me. Maybe you just don't like it either.

The number of people balking at $9/mo in this thread is amazing. $9 is nothing compared to salaries. If it saves you 1 hour of productivity per month, you get 10x return on that cost straight away.
IVF can currently involve 5 people as it is. Sperm donor, egg donor, surrogate, couple whose child this will be.

This method ups it to 6.
>Everything you can do with closed source software you can also do with open, and there are things you can't do with closed source.

This is just not true. Show me a completely open source smart phone... thing is you can't, the baseband and radio will always for sure be closed source. There are markets where having knowledge that your competition doesn't is vital to success, that is why some things will always be closed source.
It would be nice to hope so but I'm actually unsure. We are becoming more efficient with resource management because our resources are increasingly constrained. If those constraints are removed, over the course of a few generations, it would be easy to slide back to doing whatever is fastest and cheapest (might be the cleaner way, might not be).

Zute SIP Dialer – Advance VoIP Tunneling for Secured Voice Over IP
For one, it's big. When I was working on part of the UIPlat team for Windows, my private enlistment just included build infra and maybe 5% of the sources and associated tools/tests and it still took up 60+ GB (100+ GB with binaries). I don't think you can just throw it on Github.

Two, compatibility. Even if you fix a bug, it usually needs to be versioned in some way to avoid breaking apps that rely on the bug. OS code, once shipped, becomes feature. Fixes require a fair amount of due diligence besides just identifying the problem and the correct fix. The historical context of how the issue was introduced and how it has migrated to other branches needs to be understood by grepping through the source history graph. Suites of build verification tests, regression tests, integration tests, and unit tests need to pass. Although Microsoft has extensive infrastructure for buddy builds and integration staging, external parties won't. So at best they could suggest a fix to Microsoft to complete the due diligence on. But usually suggesting a fix is easy and vetting it is the grueling part.

Three, private forks of Windows seem like maintenance and compatibility nightmares. Fragmentation would likely disrupt windows update's ability to apply patches and keep the system secure. Windows' ability to run across so many devices is kept sane by keeping a relatively small, consistent trusted computing base. Merging together forked Windows repos is a disaster. The XBOX team forked Windows 8 for a few months and made some tweaks to get XBOX One out the door, and then some folks had the nasty job of having to try and consolidate the codebases against moving targets. No one has enough context or time to perform these kinds of merges individually, nor would ever volunteer to, so they need to be massive coordinated efforts between teams.

Four, variants. You're not going to want to deal with all the possible permutations of Windows SKUs, processor architectures (ARM/X86/AMD64/IA64), build flavors, etc.

Five, it's a mess. There's plenty of archaic cruft, possible trade secrets, and lurking vulnerabilities. Open sourcing everything would be like opening Pandora's Box. It's too risky. Curating out some portion of this to open-source would be a massive undertaking and ongoing maintenance cost.

I think it makes more sense to take more mature modules, like .NET core or Roslyn, and open source them as separate entities. Modules are more reusable, and community-driven changes are easier to curate when they can be isolated. Windows has some components which it probably makes sense to open-source, but the entity as a whole is too unwieldy in its current form. .NET is designed more modularly.

TL;DR - Windows is an unwieldy behemoth and would be difficult to open source.
Though the initial concept is noble, hasn't this theory of a faux product saving endangered/poorly treated animal X failed before?

Faux-fur products have been around for ages, yet mistreatment and illegal killing of animals continues.

Isn't the answer to educate people against purchasing the animal in the first place?

To counter my own argument, I am looking forward to the day when I can buy meat that was grown in a lab rather than on a farm as I believe it is both more humane and hopefully better for the environment. Though I don't imagine all livestock farming practices will cease, but rather we'll end up with a 'special occasion' meal of real meat and artificial meats making up the casual dining.
BS Detector for Hackers
The problem with this is that it saves all the attribute as functions and messes up the .bashrc file.
Eg: to save I use: goto -s <shortcut> while this program uses: s <shortcut>
Mine is a little minimal, also, the shortcut thing is just an added feature. I just wanted to replicate the Sublime Texts, fuzzy search feature.
I don't think bashmarks has fuzzy-find ??

Development will speed up in 2015. 2 releases in a week 'stable' enough for you?
The reality of your software being a black box is not a matter of marketability. It is a matter of what you are able to know and control about what your personal machine is actually doing. Obviously there are manifest examples of people running all manner of black boxes, but as someone else pointed out, they are at the complete mercy of their black box vendor (unless someone wants to reverse engineer the box). If your vendor folds up and a critical vulnerability is exposed or is being openly exploited, well, congratulations on your new black brick.

On the other hand, if you have complete visibility into what your machine is doing and have the ability to modify it at will you can avoid all manner of failure scenarios that are essentially unrecoverable in the black box scenario.

We know people will run black boxes, drink poisoned sugar drinks, support genocidal megalomaniacs, torture others for limited monetary gain and/or endorphin rushes, etc. None of those realities imply that others should follow in the same footsteps, especially when there are workable alternatives that don't suffer from the same permanent failure scenarios.

I'm not sure how Time Machine is pure marketing? It seems kind of useful.
Suit yourself. I was replying to anecdotes with anecdotes - note that the quotes you gave do not actually bring anything to the table (neither do mine).

But I do urge you to read denninger. You will very likely disagree with him (I'm not sure if I agree with him), but he is consistent, and is very well supported by data. Whether you accept the axioms or not is up to you. As far as track record with predictions go, he has a significantly better one than essentially all mainstream media.

Ask yourself why you accept the GDP growth is real. If you do just because everyone else does, without looking at the numbers and at alternative explanations - that's religion. Which is fine - none of us has time to evaluate every single thing we believe in. But it is important to acknowledge it for what it is.

And for that matter, ask yourself why you accept GDP as a measure of growth and welfare - Kuznets, the person who came up with the definition thinks you shouldn't.
The "new" Microsoft is supposed to be "cloud first" and "mobile first". Yet Azure has among the most lowest uptimes and Microsoft is dead-last in mobile. So you may be on to something there!
My understanding was that Mono was the "open source CLR." What parts of Mono would this not cover? Once this project gets ported, what barriers to running .NET code on Linux/Mac/etc with performance and reliability comparable to Windows would remain?

Want to use this drive for Time Machine? [OK]

better than going into the time machine app / prefpane / whatever, and seeing [use drive WD-BOOK for time machine] on the side, non-modal? so people who don't know what they're doing don't have to click or even see anything?

UI/UX designers do a lot of really stupid stuff in the name of making things "simple" and "easy". Engineers who think they're more of a people person and know some UI/UX probably do it even more. Give up the gimmicks, the ridiculous space between elements. The material design, the flat-aqua design, it's all crap.

I've seen "regular users" fail to use all these things, and need my help find a way through the increasingly hidden and opaque interfaces to what they're trying to do. Usually because things that are supposed to "just work" instead "just don't work" and there's no way to fix it. Except for me. So interfaces designed for me would probably not be a bad idea ;)

My concern about this isn't the specific procedure, it is the moving of the line of what is allowed. What will happen next? I am sure there will be an illness where just a tiny bit of gene splicing could improve the lives of x amount of babies.

You look the blocking of websites.. It started with child porn which everyone thought was acceptable but then the same legislation was used against piracy websites. Now Britain has an internet filter...

Before there was a red line in genetics. Allowing this procedure really blurs that line and I worry this is just the start of a slippery slope..

As for how much it helps parents. It doesn't help many with their first child as the parents are often not aware they are carriers of conditions. For subsequent children adoption was always available.
"Free software should be looked on from the point of ethics, and not from financial gain."

I think the word 'markets' was a bit misguiding in terms of argumentation. I meant "things which bring people added value and joy" and not "things which can be sold for money". Markets encompass both but I was thinking the consumer added-value in this instance.

"Proprietary software is immoral, and that is the reason you shouldn't be building it"

I think taken without any other context this is not realistic.

I think the concept of ownerhip and responsibility are far more important for high quality software for the point of view of short term end user value than openness.

Software has a philosophical and a mathematical dimension. I don't think anyone should be able to own those and that most software patents are harmful in this way. However.

Software is used as an enabling component everywhere. As an enabling component it's added value does not depend on it's freedom or openness, but from it's capability to function bug free and provide the features end users need. As the canvas in the art program, as the automatic stabilizer in the plane and so forth.

In these instances I claim the biggest human value those softwares bring is indenpendent from their openness.

To enable the example softwares to function correctly require lots of hard labour that is not fun at all. I.e. work. Often it is repeating the same old concepts over and over again, knitting the specific system together piece by piece.

I think there is no Photoshop killer because the people to whom it brings most added value are not programmers and it's usually not fun or rewarding at all to work with such a large codebase. Blender is a fantastic counterexample.

Of course, software should utilize open and hackable data formats so that the data does not vanish.

The long term value for the user and the concept of the software providing free speech capabilities then depends on the underlying software ecosystem, and there open source most definitely helps.

Open formats, open tools to hack on them, open platforms. Yes, definetly! Any other way is harmfull to all stakeholders. IMO, products can be closed source.
That was the Voskhod-2 mission, 1965, the first spacewalk.

It's "open" in the sense of specs and lack of proprietary blobs, which is probably a good start at getting FreeBSD running there, which is what the question was all about, rather than having a purer-than-thou system.
These costs could still be modest in comparison to the salaries of 300 people.
It would have been possible to use Debian, but the armel build which is running on ARMv6 would have diminished the performance even further, as it servers for very old ARM processors.
> So hacking is equivalent to murdering people via bombs?

Depending on what was hacked. Anonymous on occasion challenged the notion of "activism" and indirectly endangered human lives. The mastercard hack would have been quiet scary for people whose, on the day, lives depended on their card.

Does that make them terrorists? No. It does place them into the exact gray area that they decided to act in, they are neither activist nor terrorist: rather something in-between.

Does that justify putting Jeremy on the watchlist? Just like his actions, it's a gray area, there is no good answer.

There is no right or wrong here, nor does there have to be. Anonymous's actions were often ignorant and dangerous: don't make yourself the same by blindly defending everything that they did. These are difficult questions, spend more time thinking about them before trying to answer them.
I wonder if there is some sort of revenue share program for 3rd party browser not unlike the deal between Mozilla and Google.

This is the best reason I can come up with as to why all these vendors seem to bother maintaining their own forks.
Interesting, has potential. I have seen companies doing this before, but only a few large scale ones.

I could see this working for Amazon or other large scale eCommerce stores for shipping and special notifications.

My only warning to potential users of this app is to be very conservative with the amount of times you use it. Users get really testy, esp. mobile users when FB notifications are enabled, this could get annoying.
What is the point? Is the original ui so poor?
The paging is annoying. It makes the graph almost unreadable since the titles are on one page and the graph is multiple pages long. Plus it is clipped.
Not sure why there is a magnifying glass in the bottom left.
I think you are a bit too idealistic about the hacking capabilities and willingness of people in general. It is convenient the correct functioning of my car or my phone is the responsibility of someone specific else than me.

Civilization is characterized by specialization of people. I cherish the notion that hardware and software should be based on open standards. For day to day work, I just want my gear to work. If it fails, I certainly do not have the time to dig in to the software layer because I have a work, children, housekeeping duties, and a bunch of art projects and higher level concepts I want to focus on.

"if you have complete visibility into what your machine is doing and have the ability to modify it at will you can avoid all manner of failure scenarios that are essentially unrecoverable in the black box scenario."

You presume all software is trivially simple. I can tell you, it is not. A large category of software requires years of specialization to actually grok what is happening.

As an extreme example if I owned a plane I would not like to hack it's software under any circumstance unless I were a professional aeronautics professional, and probably not even then.
Which brings the question of: How does Amazon get away with not showing immediate and growing profits while other companies claim they need to do so.
I'm really looking forward to the numpy specific announcements. Numpy is THE basic building for every single scientific library - if pypy can get a high performance numpy, that will go a long way towards allowing scientific users to use pypy (there is still the detail of libraries that use the c-api to wrap c libraries, but cffi is pretty neat).
Even Google's version will have risks and I expect will make mistakes in early iterations. Having a max speed of 25 MPH and limiting deployment will reduce some of this risk, but AI is hard and the environment is very open and will constantly include novel states the agent has to make sense of. Personally I'm concerned the initial Google design doesn't include a steering wheel for manual override - seems overconfident to me even for normal scenarios let alone degenerate ones (weather, internet connectivity, GPS malfunction, construction, bad maps, road damage, etc.).
