Nice docs, thanks!
moondowner··on Twitter open-sources a high-performance replicated log service
By checking out the code quickly it looks like it's built on top of Apache Bookkeeper http://bookkeeper.apache.org/ ?
moondowner··on Google’s Surprising Role as Privacy Watchdog in Europe
Another organization worth mentioning is EDRi: https://edri.org/

moondowner··on Show HN: Deepstream.io – open-source real-time server with pub/sub and data sync
Incredible indeed.

Is there any info whether Deepstream is used in the stock trading platform and in which scenarios?

moondowner··on Show HN: The Deadlock Empire – Slay dragons, master concurrency
Scalatron is another great one https://scalatron.github.io/ "a free, open-source programming game in which bots, written in Scala, compete in a virtual arena for energy and survival"

Probably more like Apache Brooklyn https://brooklyn.apache.org/

Same on https://github.com/golang/go

Exactly, if you use an Open Source database (e.g. MariaDB or PostgreSQL) you'll be OK with the Open Source version of jOOQ.
moondowner··on Blade: a Java Web Framework
You can add this one to the list: http://www.takes.org/
moondowner··on Blockchain Challenge by Bank of England
Ah, I love it when people share challenges moments before they close.
moondowner··on Code Review – A Needed Habit in Science
I've worked on memory and performance optimizations on algorithms written in Java by scientists, and I'd definitely agree - code review is really needed. Some things are better handled while the design of the algorithm is taking place.
moondowner··on A short history of the USSR through its food
Ah, Russian salad. Very popular in the Balkans even nowadays.
moondowner··on Ask HN: What stack would you use to build a CRUD web app on the JVM today?
JHipster http://jhipster.github.io/

It's a yeoman generator actually, generates a Spring based project with all the CRUD stuff ready for you.

moondowner··on An audio format for creative DJing
I was wondering the same, and found that there are already available stems on Beatport, where they classify the 4 tracks as: Drum, Bass, Vocals, and Theme. https://pro.beatport.com/stems/about

I suppose DJ equipment manufacturers like Pioneer will step up and add volume controller, and mute and solo buttons for each track on CDJ units. So the fixed number of 4 tracks makes the hardware easier to design.

moondowner··on Windows 10 users are being banned from torrent sites
There's an easy way to do that: when the browser makes a request to some web site, the server serving it will detect the browser's user agent (which the browser sends with the request to the server) and will check the operating system specified. If it's Windows 10 - don't fulfill the request.

Here's a random example of user agent detection http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6163350/server-side-brows...

moondowner··on Blot – blogging from a Dropbox folder
Reminded me of Calepin, was popular few years ago... http://calepin.co/
moondowner··on The OnePlus 2 pushes the boundaries of how cheap a flagship phone can be
"features a 5.5-inch, 1080p screen"

I hope it's not the same screen as in the One... Other than that, it looks like a good improvement.

moondowner··on United Airlines awards hackers millions of miles for revealing risks
I heard that airlines partner with companies like DHL and FedEx, and in cases like this they load more shipment packages in the storage space. That way they'll compensate the costs.
moondowner··on Hipster Sound – Coffee shop booster
http://www.noisli.com/ is pretty good as well.

moondowner··on Which airlines ban the use of Knee Defenders during flight?
I travel from time to time in Europe, and some airlines don't allow passengers to recline their seats (even though the seats are not fixed).
moondowner··on Introducing Opener
It's common for iOS and OSX apps that are tool oriented/helpful to the user to have a price. Frankly, I'd rather pay $2 than wait 5 seconds for some random full-screen advertisement in the app every time I open it.
moondowner··on Stalking Your Friends with Facebook Messenger
There's also 'Tinfoil for Facebook' https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.danvelazco... which is opensource https://github.com/velazcod/Tinfoil-Facebook
