![]() I plug them in and open my DAW and see what happens. I love working with my analog gear, mostly on my Prophet 6 synth and Analog RYTM drum machine. What inspires your productions these days? I love to mix fast and keep the crowd on their toes and dancing, and I find this style works best for me and keeps things moving. ![]() I’ve been really into collecting 4-5 minute jacking techno tracks, that I can play at like 130-132 bpm, so my crate is full of that stuff. What records haven’t left your bag in the past few months? I’ll pick out and organise the playlists during the week, practice some complicated mixes, work on the flow in my home studio, and then when I arrive at the club I just go with what I’m feeling and get in the zone. If I overthink it then I don’t pay as much attention to my surroundings in real time, so I don’t get anxious about it anymore. I try not to think too much about it on the day of the show, as it’s impossible to tell what a room is going to be like and what people will respond to. I think a lot about my DJ sets over the week, about the things I did good and bad the weekend before, and what I want to focus on for the next weekend. I feel more in touch with my surroundings and it’s already had a big effect on my music and DJ sets, and I’m sure as I continue on this journey I will learn more and it will continue to inspire me. Feeling that happen, when life becomes less about you and more about sharing love and nurturing something else beyond yourself, is very inspiring and liberating. Becoming a parent naturally shifts your priorities and allows you to make emotional space for other things in your life. I think the most important thing that I discovered was not to put so much pressure on myself and just relax and have fun. ![]() I felt a lot more focused and sensitive to my surroundings, and I learned a lot about myself and my crowds. Being pregnant and doing shows was actually really fun, the excitement and feeling of creating life gave me a new perspective and inspiration in my sets. Lucian Apollo joined us on May 18 and we are enjoying newfound family time at our home in Berlin, while I take a tour break. Some artists well known for breakbeat include DJ Icey, Stanton Warriors, Deekline and Wizard, Hybrid, Huda Hudia, The Brainkiller, Paket, The Freestylers, NAPT, Pendulum, Adam Freeland, Rennie Pilgrem, The Breakfastaz, Ctrl Z, Freq Nasty and Plump DJ's.īreakbeats are used in many hip hop, rap, jungle, and hardcore songs, and can also be heard in other music, from popular music to background music in car and jean commercials on the radio or TV.Congratulations on your baby! Could you tell us a bit about what it was like managing your music career while pregnant and how you anticipate having a child will change the way you approach your career (if at all)? This may occur because the tempo of breaks tracks (ranging from 110 to 150 beats per minute) means they can be readily mixed with these genres, whereas the comparatively fast speed of jungle and drum and bass (160-180 bpm) may have restricted the utility of these subgenres to DJs playing slower-tempo music. DJs from a variety of genres, including house and techno, work breaks tracks into their sets. In recent times, the term breakbeat has become synonymous with the many genres of breaks music which have become popular within the global dance music scene, including big beat, nu skool breaks and progressive breaks. This style was extremely popular in clubs and dance halls because the extended breakbeat was the perfect backdrop for breakdancers to show their skills. This style was copied and improved upon by early hip hop DJs Afrika Bambaataa and Grand Wizard Theodore. Kool DJ Herc's breakbeat style was to play the same record on two turntables and play the break repeatedly by alternating between the two records (letting one play while spinning the second record back to the beginning of the break). In the late 1970s and early 1980s, hip-hop DJs (starting with Kool DJ Herc) began using several breaks (the part of a funk or jazz song in which the music "breaks" to let the rhythm section play unaccompanied) in a row to use as the rhythmic basis for hip-hop songs. These rhythms may be characterised by their intensive use of syncopation and polyrhythms. Breakbeat (sometimes breakbeats or breaks) is a term used to describe a collection of sub- genres of electronic music, usually characterized by the use of a non-straightened 4/4 drum pattern (as opposed to the steady beat of house or trance).

![]() Sisyphus’ freedom of thought frees him from thinking of himself, his life, as one controlled by the gods. He is free to think, to interpret his world as he sees fit. For Camus, it is self-reflection that makes Sisyphus’ transformation possible, because he begins to realize his power, his ability to create meaning and to determine how he interprets his life, his circumstances. Sisyphus begins to realize that he is responsible for his actions, for how things turned out. In others, he is to blame because he defied the gods’ will. In some interpretations, the gods bear the blame for his circumstances. Sisyphus tries out different meanings, different ways of making sense of his life, his predicament. He begins to experiment with different explanations for his current situation and even starts to view things differently. With time, however, Sisyphus starts to slowly reinterpret things, to change his perspective. At first, Sisyphus is likely upset, mad at himself, angry with the gods, and probably blames the gods for his punishment. Camus imagines that Sisyphus' perspective slowly changes over time. He reflects on himself, his situation, on his life, and his past. It is this opportunity to exercise consciousness, to reflect and think, that interests Camus.Ĭamus imagines Sisyphus reflecting on his life, on his circumstances, as he makes his way back to his rock. Camus calls it a “breathing-space” and “the hour of consciousness.” As Sisyphus makes his descent, he is free to reflect, to think. ![]() The myth provides some basic ingredients, as it were, and with them we create an entire meal.Ĭamus’ imagination is piqued by the very slight reprieve Sisyphus gets from his physical labor whenever he must walk back down the mountain to retrieve his boulder. “Myths,” Camus claims, “are made for the imagination to breathe life into them.” Human beings are imaginative, creative beings, and when we breathe life into a myth, we make it meaningful in a way that is relevant to our time, our struggles, our situation. As I see it, we see in Sisyphus something of ourselves, and since we make this connection our own happiness depends on whether Sisyphus can be happy. Perhaps it is imperative that we imagine Sisyphus happy because by doing so we affirm our own freedom to think, to control our attitude, our mindset. Why, then, is it imperative that we imagine Sisyphus happy? His punishment eternal, Sisyphus will perform the same task, again and again, forever. What are we supposed to imagine that would somehow warrant imagining Sisyphus happy? Why does Camus focus on this myth, on Sisyphus, when he could have presumably focused on some other character, some other tale?Īt the end of the myth, Camus points out that we leave Sisyphus with his burden, his boulder. Nothing about Sisyphus’ situation screams happiness. He is being punished by the gods, and they are to blame for his torment. Everything seems certain, his fate has been sealed, it is the penalty for his disobedience. Each time he ascends the mountain, he struggles under the weight of the boulder. Sisyphus knows he will labor with his boulder until the end of time. His labor, as the gods intended, is utterly pointless and hopeless. The boulder always rolls back down the mountain…Sisyphus never successfully completes his task. When he reaches the top, the boulder rolls back down and Sisyphus must return to it to begin again. ![]() ![]() He is forced to push a boulder up a mountain. The gods condemned Sisyphus to an eternity of pointless labor. Each time I revisit Albert Camus’ The Myth of Sisyphus, I find myself drawn to the final line: “One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” ![]() Librdkafka is a C++ language binding for Apache Kafka that many other client libraries depend on. That has changed with the release of librdkafka 1.0.0 But other language clients that depends on the C++ library librdkafka have not had support. The Apache Kafka brokers and the Java client have supported the idempotent producer feature since version 0.11 released in 2017. The idempotent producer feature addresses these issues ensuring that messages always get delivered, in the right order and without duplicates. So we can end-up with messages delivered twice and out-of-order.

The messages may have been successfully written When this happens, any messages that are pending acknowledgementsĬan either be resent or discarded. When a producer sends messages to a topic, things can go wrong, such as shortĬonnection failures. It is and why you might want to enable it. Thought it was the perfect time to cover the Idempotent Producer feature, what So with the release of librdkafka 1.0.0, we If you use Apache Kafka, and do not use Java, then you’ll If I have 5 different consumers each in a separate consumer group reading from one topic and this topic has 10 Bad records spread out over 500k messages and 2 consumers are critical and should fail if they receive bad records for further testing investigation, I manually have to reset the offset of those 2 consumers 10 time while re-processing the records because each bad record will cause them to stop.ĭeletion would be a applicable scenario for us right there and could be handled safely I guess.Ĭonfluent enterprise seems to have an option to „hard“ bind topics to avro schemas and reject Bad record, open source Kafka has nothing like this as far I know.The release of librdkafka 1.0.0 brings a new feature to those who are not on The replay scenario is exactly what I’m worrying about. If one batch only is 4 instead of 5 messages long, no problems should occur. This might cause some trouble and should not be done without consideration or course, but that’s the case for a lot of operations in kafka.ĭeleting shouldn’t at least lead to a failure because consumer’s get messages in micro batches. Thanks for your reply, I’m still wondering/curious why it’s technically not possible to delete a message by: This technique preserves the historical integrity of the original topic, while allowing you to separate the filtering/sanitation logic from the consumer. However, there are ways to consume a “sanitized” set of messages - for instance, by writing a consumer that re-publishes only the “valid” (or “interesting/relevant”) messages onto a “derived” topic. Timing issues: What if the command to delete a message comes right after it’s published (perhaps published by mistake): Do you send that message to consumers at all? What if the command to delete a message is received BEFORE THE MESSAGE ITSELF? One subscriber rebuilding its data store by replaying the events on the topic gets a different end-state on the replay Two subscribers to the same topic get different sets of messages To allow deleting of a message is to introduce many complex and potentially harmful edge case scenarios: No editing of messages that have been published. You said it yourself: Kafka is an append-only log. Characters can make other characters from their court or realm with significant combat skills into powerful knights. Characters will need to hire men-at-arms in order to field higher-quality soldiers, such as crossbowmen and cavalry. Levies are represented primarily by low-quality infantry composed of peasants. The principle resource for interacting with religion mechanics is Piety, and a player with sufficient piety may choose to develop their own heresy, with the Tenets and Doctrines being chosen by the player. Religions have Tenets, which are bonuses given to all practitioners of that faith, and Doctrines, which deal with the religion's stances towards issues like homosexuality and female clergy. Players may undergo pilgrimages and wage holy wars, and entire religions can be called to arms in crusades or jihads. Leaders can advance their goals by warfare, diplomacy, or subterfuge. Religion and culture are both aspects of the game. Players' realms may have the feudal, tribal, or clan government types. Each lifestyle has three skill trees that allow characters to enhance skills related to that lifestyle. Characters are able to select one of five lifestyles to follow. Characters are able to frighten their vassals into staying loyal by increasing their Dread, which increases when the character performs malevolent actions, such as executing or torturing other characters. The game's genetics system allows characters to pass on some of their characteristics to their descendants. Making choices that go against a character's traits will increase that character's stress. ![]() As in Crusader Kings II, they have traits that affect their stats and behavior. Ĭharacters have full-body, 3D-rendered character models instead of 2D portraits. For example, the heads of dynasties are responsible for legitimizing bastards. The heads of dynasties are able to use a new resource known as Renown to assert their control over their house. ĭynasties can form cadet branches that have their own heads and act mostly independently from their parent dynasty. Overall, players develop a dynasty over the centuries, with the game ending in 1453. Upon the death or deposition of a player's character they may continue to play as that character's heir. The game map is about four times more detailed than the one in Crusader Kings II and slightly larger, incorporating Europe, Africa roughly as far south as the Equator, and Asia as far East as Tibet. Players begin as a character in either 867 or 1066. ![]() Like its predecessors Crusader Kings and Crusader Kings II, Crusader Kings III is a grand strategy game and dynasty simulator set in the Middle Ages. ![]() For more information about Survivor Series, including the full card, click here.

This article may still be useful as a reference, but may not follow best practices or work on this or other Ubuntu releases. Ubuntu 12.04 reached end of life (EOL) on April 28, 2017 and no longer receives security patches or updates. The format of this file is exactly like /etc/hosts on Unix.This article is deprecated and no longer maintained. To make this process a little more userfriendly, think up a hostname and stick it in \winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (windows NT/XP) or \windows\hosts (Windows '9x). To connect to the server, just open up the "map network drive" dialog and enter \\10.232.232.232\sharename in the "computer name" box. It is advisable to install the stunnel service so it will start on system boot, which means it will be (semi-)transparent to the user. Under "NetBIOS settings", click on "Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP"įinally, we can install stunnel (Windows binaries are available from ?1().Choose any private network IP address you'll never see in any real network.Select "TCP/IP", and then "settings" (or "properties"). ![]() Typically you'll need to deselect "client for Microsoft networks" and "File and printer sharing". Deselect all bindings except the TCP/IP ones.Open the "properties" dialog from the contextmenu in the "network connections" overview.When our new "hardware" is installed, you need to assign it an IP and disable NetBIOS activity on it: Don't let windows search for the hardware but choose it from a list ("Advanced").Pick "add a new device" from the bottom of the list.Tell it "yes, I've already connected my hardware" or the wizard will end.Wait for it to search in vain for new hardware.Open the "add hardware" wizard from the control panel.To install one, follow this set of instructions: It turns out that it doesn't do this on loopback network devices. Simply binding stunnel to port 139 is impossible, because of the Windows behaviour where it binds ports 139 and 445 on every interface, even if no actual files are being shared. We will "abuse" this behaviour by tricking it into using this port. Only when that has no service listening either, it will tell the user it couldn't connect. When it finds no service listening there, it will try to fall back to port 139. Luckily for us, Windows has the following odd behaviour: When you click "map network drive" in the filemanager, it will first try to connect to port 445. Unfortunately, the Windows filemanager has no way to specify which port to use when you click "map network drive", so that's not an option. This would mean we need to use another port for our fake "shared folder". (try it, you'll get a "permission denied" message). This means that no other process can ever bind this port. Some background on why this is a problem is in order.Īpparently, when Windows is booted, the kernel binds a socket to port 445 on every real (this is important as we'll see later on) network interface. Of course you can easily test it by connecting to localhost: # smbclient -U yoda //localhost/myshareĬonnecting a Windows client to samba over stunnel is a major hassle. You can run stunnel from rc.conf just like on the server side. As soon as you connect to your machine, the data is encrypted and forwarded to servername. This makes your client act as a samba server, to which you can connect. You'll need to swap the port numbers and put it in client mode. On a Unix client you simply install and run security/stunnel as described above. ![]() Even if it gets an error it will just fail silently. Just add stunnel=yes to your /etc/rc.conf: # echo "stunnel=yes" > /etc/rc.conf This can be generated like this: # openssl req -new -nodes -x509 -out stunnel/stunnel.pem -keyout /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem # instead of port 139, port 445 will also work, unless you're using Mac OS X clientsĪs you can see, you'll need an SSL certificate/key. # Accept connections on port 800, on any interface The following will be sufficient if you only need the bare minimum to get a secure samba setup: Simple stunnel configuration for a secure samba setup # OpenSSL certificate Then you can copy /usr/pkg/share/examples/stunnel/nf-sample and modify it to your needs. You can install security/stunnel from ?pkgsrc. If you wish to allow only secure traffic, you can let it listen on localhost with the following statement in smb.conf: # Only listen on loopback interface You set up the server just as you would normally, as described in How to set up a Samba Server.

However, the Cherry MX Speed Silver (also linears) have an actuation force of ≈45g. Clicky switch works same as the tactile, but it makes a distinct click sound when the key is activated. If we're talking about "force," I'd say it depends more on the switch's springs, instead of whether it's designed to be clicky/tactile/linear.

To create interest, the Sugermans enlist Julius Erving to create a viral video of "the Boa Challenge", where people, including 76ers player Tobias Harris, attempt to score on Bo for money. Their trust renewed, Stanley works tirelessly to get Bo into the combine, without success. Stanley admits his injured hand was from a drunk driving accident while in college, derailing his basketball team's season and putting him in jail for six months. Bo improves dramatically through Stanley's coaching, but Leon can't get him into the Draft Combine after Vince spreads information about Bo's assault charge.įurious at Stanley, Bo eventually reveals the charge stemmed from a fight with Lucia's mother's boyfriend after she tried to claim sole custody of Lucia.
