I like where you're going with that, but you left out a couple essentials. - Beer and REAL FOOD
Nothing too fancy, but a selection of a few microbrews and standard bar fare like chicken wings and burgers that are actually prepared by a cook, not a microwave.
Farmers in the Near East—what is today Israel, Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and neighboring countries—began cultivating plants and herding animals about 8000 B.C.E., but there are no signs that they used animal dung for anything other than as fuel for fires.
Since it's far more arid in the Middle East, the use of dung for fuel was more obvious due to dried dung being a common thing to find laying around. Where as in Europe, which is far wetter, seeing green things sprout up in dung in the Spring was more easily observed.
A PS3 is your best bet and offers the biggest bang for the buck. You can download and install Netflix, Amazon and Hulu, plus it has a text and if you add on a web cam, you can access the AV Chat feature.
While they may not be interested in games, the built in Blue Ray DVD player is top of the line so it can double as their DVD player for movies as well.
Well actually, to be blunt about it, I am from Earth. But an alternate reality where we might use stored procedures with triggers to check shit and validate and roll back. That is my most common usage scenario.
Yes, you can put that all in the middle tier -- but that can all be broken in the middle tier.
Most people I've met using Oracle don't know shit about it. It's great if you have lots of data and you want to harvest it with views and stored procedures. But the only people I've met seriously dealing with Oracle were qualified DBAs who only focus on DB dev and the Oracle DB was an internal DB that the web and remote entities DUMPED to.
It have never seen not used as a consumer facing DB for remote parties. Though I have wrote a few apps that wrote to an internal Oracle DB and provided custom schema with procedures and views so that internal consumers could draft reports. But these were big ticket dudes and it was Marketing that wanted the views. I wrote the procedures for me to help me out as well as triggers etc. They were nice and gave me full admin access and Windows RDC into a Server. For a Global Retailer on the order of magnitude a brand like Levi's that was pretty hot and made my dick grow a couple inches.
But really Oracle and Postgres is Apples and Oranges. I say ditch Oracle, because you likely aren't using it for what it was created for and move to Postgres. The only reason why MySQL is so popular is because 90% of Web Developers don't know dick about what a DB is and how to properly use one. To them it's a data catchall, sock drawer etc. Rails style platforms and shit like Hive have only helped to propagate the fucktardery around DBs in Web Development.
When you can write 40% or more of your applicational business logic via stored procedures and views that Joe Blow Webscale can't possibly fuck up or mess with, you know you are an A-Grade Web Developer.
Seems it's going binary to have EVERYTHING be a stream, with frame based communications, different types of frames denoting different types of data and your "web app" responsible for detecting and handling these different frames. Now I get that there's a lot of demand for something more than Web Socket, and I know that non-Adobe video streaming such as HLS are pathetic, but this strikes me as terrible.
Really, why recraft HTTP instead of recrafting browsers? Why not get Web Socket nailed down? Is it really that hard for Google and Apple to compete with Adobe that instead of creating their own Streaming Media Services they need HTTP2.0 to force every server to be a streaming media server?
Adobe's been sending live streams from user devices to internet services and binary based data communication via RTMP for several years, but HTML5 has yet to deliver on the bandied about "Device API" or whatever it's called this week even though HTML5 pundits have been bashing on Flash for years.
So if Adobe is really that bad and Flash sucks that much, why are we re-inventing HTTP to do what Flash has been doing for years? Why can't these players like Apple and Google do this with their web browsers, or is it because none of these players really wants to work together because no one really trusts each other?
At the end of the day, we all know it's all just one big clusterfuck of companies trying to get in on the market Adobe has with video and the only way to make this happen in a cross-platform way is to make it the new HTTP standard. So instead of a simple text based protocol, we will now be saddled with streaming services that really aren't suited to the relatively static text content that comprises the vast majority of web content.
But who knows, maybe I'm totally wrong and we really do need every web page delivered over a binary stream in a format not too different from what we see with video.
If you want to keep sucking off your jackbooted masters, you'll need a new sound bite to try to excuse it. That one stopped working decades ago.
I'd rather be sucking off my jackbooted masters than silently crying apathetic tears while being anally raped by them like so many on Slashdot take it.
Seriously -- we all know we live in a plutocracy that is fast becoming a police state. But for all the bitching and moaning about it, not a damn thing will be done about it.
Yes, believe it or not, Flash is kick ass when it comes to streaming video. Far superior to your fabled HTML5 especially in regards to streaming latency. Want to stream live video from the iPhone? Flash is the ONLY way to do it.
IIRC, they chose Silverlight over Flash because of Microsoft's DRM stack and I'm sure MS gave them some sweetheart deals like they did with MLB.
Why not just put a persons twin into cryostasis for use later on? Let's make biological clones the new ruling class with prolonged life. Even better for triplets and quadruplets! Man in the Iron mask meets Brave New World.
If we could find a way to "grow" an entire copy of a persons body such as via 3D printing with cells that would be one thing. But raising a human from fetus to an appropriate age strictly for the purpose of harvesting it's body strikes me as abhorrent.
And it seems it would make sense to transplant the subject's brain and eyes INTO the host body rather than to transplant the head itself. There would be fewer parts to reattach, mainly just the brainstem to the spinal cord and cerebral arteries.
No, I don't sell Atlassian Software, I consult startups for a living. I get nothing from Atlassian, and don't put all my clients on Atlassian. Many of them I put on Github Enterprise.
It depends on the client, the product, the development cycle, the team, and the roadmap. But hey -- don't let that stop you from making wild and baseless accusations.
I will admit their services are rather resource intensive. But I've installed the JIRA stack at least twice without major issue and the response time was just fine. I find it best not to put more than 2 or 3 services on a given machine. And have ran it on Mac Mini Servers to 1U rack servers.
And how did Nginx factor in? If I recall, the JIRA apps provide their own HTTP services via Tomcat and Apache. So it's likely you fucked up your own custom install and are holding Atlassian responsible for your own mess.
For small teams and those who just want to get up and running without the additional overhead, JIRA has a hosted service, which sounds like you could have used and should have looked into.
Each release of JIRA has functionality and flexibility that people actually want removed in the name of making it easier to use for new users
What are you talking about? I've been using JIRA for years and have worked with many companies who use JIRA and have heard no complaints about their features. They have many features and they work very well for me and others.
Personally, I enjoy the Atlassian stack, find it unrivaled in feature coverage and have migrated many clients to the Atlassian stack. And I've ever seen any sort of lag when typing in any field in JIRA or Crucible, or Crowd or Greenhopper or Fisheye or Confluence.
But then again, I don't use ghostery, don't know what it is, never heard of it, don't use it and wonder why you expect Atlassian to craft their software stack against third party software.
From the tone of your post, you are just leaping at a chance for a cheap jab at Atlassian with trumped up nonsense.
The PlayStation 4 is x86-64 based now rather than Cell-based, which makes it easier to use FreeBSD
Funny how Sony tried to woo Apple over to the Cell architecture, even offering Apple Sony authored PS3 games for the Mac.
As it happens, Intel's was not the only alternative chip design that Apple had explored for the Mac. An executive close to Sony said that last year Mr. Jobs met in California with both Nobuyuki Idei, then the chairman and chief executive of the Japanese consumer electronics firm, and with Kenichi Kutaragi, the creator of the Sony PlayStation.
Mr. Kutaragi tried to interest Mr. Jobs in adopting the Cell chip, which is being developed by I.B.M. for use in the coming PlayStation 3, in exchange for access to certain Sony technologies. Mr. Jobs rejected the idea, telling Mr. Kutaragi that he was disappointed with the Cell design, which he believes will be even less effective than the PowerPC.
Other sources I am too lazy to dig up cited Jobs as stating that his main mover for this decision was that he in no way wanted any Apple product associated with a gaming console. Call it Platformism, but if that citation is correct, it was very solid reasoning from Jobs. Every PC pundit on the planet would have had a field day with that one. Never mind that the US DoD (and likely the NSA) has found the Cell architecture in PS3s most useful for clustering, since the Cell architecture is so very cheap and so very good at that. citation
I spend most of my time using Emacs. I run it on a text console, so that I don’t have to worry about accidentally touching the mouse-pad and moving the pointer, which would be a nuisance. I read and send mail with Emacs (mail is what I do most of the time).
I switch to the X console when I need to do something graphical, such as look at an image or a PDF file.
Stallman is more of an idealist asshole than I would ever have imagined possible. I honestly can't stand the guy and wish he'd go away.
This fucker is living in the stone age over his pathetic, single-minded ideology And I'm sure he wants us all to do the same. Fuck him and fuck the FSF.
I'm glad the GPL has faded into something less crazy and more free like the MIT and BSD licenses.
As soon as these 3rd world countries become second world or emerging countries you can bet the quality of electronic imports will drastically plummet as they are flooded with cheap knockoffs or outright junk by criminals out for a quick buck.
But since the population of these nations don't have a buck, the products that are being imported are good because they are from charitable organizations who are operating altruistically.
I don't really blame them... it's just a lifestyle choice which doesn't really impact me.
Except when you blame them for destroying society. Same as I blame you for destroying society by being such a god damned moron. Do you even listen to yourself?
You're worse than those who say "not to be a jerk" -- then say some extremely dickish thing. You go and say some real dickish thing then say, "but I'm not really a dick see?" So don't bother speaking next time you think you have something to say. Because you have nothing to say. Nothing at all.
Seems the editors couldn't figure out submitter "awaisoft" is a pissant blogger on the awaisoft.com domain There have been many articles about this around the Net today, and o fall of them, this one is by far the worst. For fuck sake, the entire blog posting was copied and pasted verbatim into the summary.
Or so that was my first thought. Then I got to the end of the article
Dart compiles to JavaScript and runs across the modern web
And suddenly I find it potentially very useful. I have a NodeJS project to develop a Streaming Service later this week. While I was planning on writing it in Coffeescript, the classic OO nature of Dart with Type Checking and Interfaces(!) seems like a potentially better match since the NodeJS app will be a clustered streaming service -- just the sort of application whose architecture could greatly benefit from these language features. If that succeeds, I know of a large retailer wanting to create a NodeJS middleware as a REST API to legacy systems, who might find Dart as compelling as I do.
I heard that this scholarship is only available for Brony Geldings and you have to attend all classes at CalArts in full Brony regalia complete with halter.
Having lived in SF for over a decade I have firsthand knowledge of what these so called "progressives" really are: FASCISTS.
Maybe not the brand of fascism that we see in the NeoCons, but every inch as fascist in believing that they are some how superior to everyone else and that they and they alone have the right to tell others how to live their lives.
They want to tell you what to eat (let's ban the happy meal! Let's ban bad carbs, lets ban sugar!) They want to tell you what to drink (no soda mmm'kay?) They want to tell businesses what they can and can not sell in their stores (sorry Drugstores, you CAN'T sell cigarettes!) They want to monitor your lifestyle (lets send a predawn police force out to inspect everyone's garbage to make sure they put their trash in the right bins)
These "progressives' are every inch as bad as the NeoCons in my book. And frankly, I'd like nothing more than to see all them, Neocons, teabagger and progressives alike go fuck themselves and get the fuck out of this country and go build their dystopian hellhole on some island far from here.
I've seen the progressive propaganda flicks like "zeitgeist" and it's sequels. What a load of crap.
These lefty ideologues who think they have the answer constantly overlook one "inconvenient truth": HUMANITY IS CHAOTIC! WE ARE NOT UNIFORM, WE DO NOT LIVE BY SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPAL.
We are not orderly little ants needing their "scientific control" We do not want to live in orderly boring little societies where our daily lives are managed by a "scientific" elite.
We want chaos, we want spontaneity, we want to explore, take risks and die or thrive taking them. We want to make our own decisions and create our own experiences.
So if you think these "progressives" have the answer I suggest you go get yourself put into some sort of institution. There your life will be very well ordered. You will be told what and when to eat, when to sleep, what to do, what to wear. You will be given limited access to bad things such as TV and books. And all of this dictated by "scientific" principal and "resource management"
And I'm sure you will be quite happy. And I'll be quite happy knowing you are there instead of out here trying to take away my freedom to live my life the way I want.
Because if you ever did get "your way" I can guarantee you it would result in mass slaughter. We all saw what the prohibition of alcohol and drugs have done to create power in the hands of the criminals. Imagine when normal everyday life is outlawed and the masses are forced to live to your "scientific" regulations.
Rivers of blood in the streets will ensue. Because we will all be criminals then. And when the sugar eating, booze loving junk food eating population are considered criminals, you and your kind will be vastly outnumbered and rubbed out in a fit of violence.
We are creating a nation of prey that is ALL they are, they are prey and the wolves will feed and feed well.
Yes, you are quite correct THE US AND MOST COUNTRIES ARE NATIONS OF PREY. But not prey for the criminals. But prey for the MASTERS.
Do you ever wonder why the raise of gun bans and the weight gains throughout the global population seem to be running hand in hand over the last couple decades?
The Masters want a world populated with fat, harmless cows ready for eating.
I know it's in bad taste, but I'd pay anything to see Michael J Fox doing a Frank's RedHot Commercial splattering sauce everywhere while having a case of the shakes.
