We had to use OSGi in a student project for a distributed systems module.

It was a nightmare. We were basically forced to use Eclipse (instead of IntelliJ which everybody was accustomed to). Eclipse alone was a nightmare to use (slow, imports not founds, etc).

On the OSGi side:

There is no package manager. One team tried to set up maven but they failed. We just loaded jars.

The manifest files were a mess. Eclipse launch configurations were a mess (had to be re-imported after any change).

A small project which only required a backend was needlessly split into 5 parts. Over-engineering at its finest.

I've almost finished with my cooperative work/university CS degree, and I always disliked programming "games" there.

Creating the 10000th Conways Game of Life? Developing some crappy game on my own? No, thanks.

Developing something for an existing game? That would have been great! I'm all with you.

My take on this: The only thing this will do is make Google either remove the audio captchas or make them super difficult to solve, even for us humans.

Twilio Super SIM 7 years ago

The EU roaming rules are only valid for a certain time period.

I can't get a polish SIM card and use it for an entire year in Germany, for example.

Did this but with an app in Germany. As I "scored" 95 out of 100 points and was apparently at the top 1% of the drivers, I got a pretty good discount on my insurance.

About 500€ per year less than without this app. So yeah, for that price they can track me anytime I drive, I don't have an issue with that.

Citing a part of the first paper's Conclusion:

Until data from well-designed clinical trials are available and reliable, and standardized CBD products that are produced using GMP are available, caution must be exercised in any consideration of using CBD for the treatment of epilepsy. In the meantime, based upon promising preliminary data, further clinical research should be wholeheartedly pursued.

Citing a part of the second paper's Conclusion:

Human experimental findings support preclinical findings, and also suggest a lack of anxiogenic effects, minimal sedative effects, and an excellent safety profile. Current preclinical and human findings mostly involve acute CBD dosing in healthy subjects, so further studies are required to establish whether chronic dosing of CBD has similar effects in relevant clinical populations. Overall, this review emphasizes the potential value and need for further study of CBD in the treatment of anxiety disorders.

So the second one says it seems good for acute dosing. Both say more research has to be done. Let's hope this is being done in the near future.

Man, before Prime shipping in Spain was a pain, at least anecdotally. It always took 3 business days, whatever the shop.

My mum was mad at me for paying for 1 day shipping (eg Prime Delivery - 20€ in Spain - crazy cheap) because "You know that this won't work in Spain!!"

Ahh yes, corporate laptops.

At our enterprise, we have HP ultrabooks or however they are called. Windows 7, 32 Bit. You know, it has a decent i5 on it, but there is some specific bottleneck making it terrible. Every employee that sits in an office has this piece of crap.

Takes 3 minutes to start IntelliJ. Since some years ~50 developers were able to get Macbooks, luckily I am one of them, else I'd just be pissed off every single work day.

Well, the first two aren't even interesting at all, because the fix is not needed there and it is disabled.

The first two just show, that the fix doesn't make performance worse when disabled.

"With non-virtualized operating systems."

"For non-virtualized environments or where it can be guaranteed that all virtualized guest operating systems are trusted." --> Aka disabled.

The death of a TLD 8 years ago

Pretty sad that this was prohibited for gTLD.

My (sister) company has the .schwarz tld, and they use blabla@mail.schwarz. Such a waste, really.
