Not better -- different. In my opinion, it's best to read the two language's design goals to understand the difference (as those matter a lot more than any particular feature). The Kotlin design goals are outlined in the blog post, and the Ceylon design goals can be found here[1]. IMO, a TLDR would be: Ceylon attempts to replace not just the Java language but also the standard libraries, while Kotlin intends to upgrade the language only and blend into the existing ecosystem. That difference explains many if not most of the decisions regarding the particular features of each language.

[1]: http://ceylon-lang.org/documentation/1.1/faq/ + http://ceylon-lang.org/blog/2012/01/10/goals/
I'd imagine having Jetbrains behind Kotlin means much better tooling, which is likely to be more important for a lot of people than language features like ADTs.

IMO JSON is less readable for this kind of document. XML is more explicit (at the cost of being chatty) but it's actually good for markup. For example nesting is easier to visually manage with XML due to tooling and explicitness of closing tags.

JSON is good for smaller objects you normally use during coding where you do not want the format to get in your way. Here I actually do want a very explicit format as it's the main thing.

nosh does not solve every problem that launchd, mach, and libdispatch does, which is why launchd will still exist in the BSD world through Jordan, iXSystems, and NextBSD.

bringing in launchd provides many more features, but is also the stepping stone to:

* networkd
* configuration files that are never directly edited by humans
* Never having to HUP a process again
* The proper death of cron
* Processes never being stuck in the wrong state just because something
in the system changed, and being able to take intelligent action
based on state changes

nosh probably can get into FreeBSD faster, but really -- whoever can replace rc scripts first wins. nosh is far with the base system rc scripts, but ports... oh, ports....

Your comment is exactly right in identifying the key hurdle: congress. Not the executive branch; congress.

Obama would have signed any of these bills as well. But there is no bill to sign, because congress doesn't support such a bill.

Replace Obama with Lessig, and you have the exact same impasse we have currently.

Lessig's old plan -- to change congress -- made more sense. But it failed.

How to Get Press for Your Startup: The Complete Guide
Couldn't it actually be easier for the owner to fire, overall? You could make it much more responsive to the trigger if you assumed that it knows you're actually trying to fire it, not? I heard there's a trade-off today between guns which easily fire unintentionally and guns which are quite difficult to fire intentionally from several people. (Of course there are the cases where I don't see how it even works, like if you're wearing gloves.)
Liking something childish and acting unprofessionally are very different aspects of immaturity. I wouldn't care about the former, but the latter may reflect poorly on the company, especially in open source where developers are like ambassadors to the community.

But if you maintain a good wall between your professional life and that immature spare time, such that the employer doesn't even see the low-grade stuff, then fine.
This would be very interesting. Imagine plugging your android phone into a dock and getting the ChromeOS GUI instead of Android but having access to all the same data and services. Now imagine we could run crouton and get full access. You could really turn your phone into your main device/dev machine (at least for light workloads).

Kind-of-sort-of like what Microsoft demonstrated with the new windows 10 phones, but a souped up version.
I think it's very clear from this post that they do plan to combine them -- but that the goal is to make a combined technical base featuring the best of ChromeOS and Android (which makes sense), not to kill ChromeOS and replace it with Android (which doesn't).
As much I see, just to few people in the world today have the interest and the capabilities to uphold the democracies of this world.

This is the plain reason, corporations and big pockets can convert the democracies of the world into support organizations for profits.

I see it in my country also. The big corporations more and more often make contracts with the government which nobody in the government understand and where in the aftermath the country was shortchanged in one or the other way and they don't come out of these contracts, where profits is guaranteed even when the people lose.

TTIP and the like are also a great, global way to destroy public control of the countries. Instead, profits will be guaranteed.
A safe does indeed make it slower to get to the gun. That's a tradeoff lots of people are willing to make, however, and safes are generally a mature technology.

I don't know a single gun owner who has any interest in so-called smart guns.

This is a great article, really amazed at both the computational power of modern hardware and the skill displayed in getting the most out of it. Too bad the game industry sucks to work in or I'd be a game engine programmer for sure.
You've got socket-holding on the brain. (-:

The significant technical aspect is, as I mentioned, that now there's no mechanism to pass an already-open socket to the daemon. nosh has several service bundles supplied out of the box for providing syslog service. They provide the various combinations of two different syslog tools over /run/log, UDP port 514, and /run/systemd/journal/syslog. Each operates in the UCSPI(-like) way, opening the datagram socket specific to the service being run, dropping privileges (in the syslog-read case), and then invoking the daemon program. All sorts of fairly obvious (to those familiar with the daemontools way of doing things) consequences ensue, like separated streams for local clients and remote clients, and control of whether and whose remote client service is provided that is as straightforward as taking the individual services up and down.

Rainer Gerhards rsyslogd and the nosh toolset's own syslog-read both support this. The BusyBox syslogd used to be usable in this way, as well. udp-socket-listen and local-datagram-socket-listen have a --systemd-compatibility option that would have interoperated quite happily with the BusyBox code as it was.

But thanks to BusyBox syslogd now being less than it was before, the systemd compatibility won't work and there's no mechanism for this in BusyBox syslogd. In taking a sideswipe at systemd people, Denys Vlasenko has made BusyBox less operable with other systems that are not systemd. That's a shame, in my view.
> The two biggest missing features are persistence and search.

At very least for the persistence part, there is a proposal to add CHATHISTORY batch type[1] to IRCv3 which should allow the server to replay chat history on join (or on request). Search is something else that probably need a little bit more work (especially for a server-side search), though.

The Two Cultures of Computing
This is somewhat unrelated, but it's funny that today a favourite short story of mine happens to have hit the front-page ("The Machine Stops" by E.M. Forster - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10490198) and it contains the following:

> Time passed, and they resented the defects no longer. The defects had not been remedied, but the human tissues in that latter day had become so subservient, that they readily adapted themselves to every caprice of the Machine. The sigh at the crises of the Brisbane symphony no longer irritated Vashti; she accepted it as part of the melody. The jarring noise, whether in the head or in the wall, was no longer resented by her friend. And so with the mouldy artificial fruit, so with the bath water that began to stink, so with the defective rhymes that the poetry machine had taken to emit. all were bitterly complained of at first, and then acquiesced in and forgotten. Things went from bad to worse unchallenged.

> It was otherwise with the failure of the sleeping apparatus. That was a more serious stoppage. There came a day when over the whole world - in Sumatra, in Wessex, in the innumerable cities of Courland and Brazil - the beds, when summoned by their tired owners, failed to appear. It may seem a ludicrous matter, but from it we may date the collapse of humanity. The Committee responsible for the failure was assailed by complainants, whom it referred, as usual, to the Committee of the Mending Apparatus, who in its turn assured them that their complaints would be forwarded to the Central Committee. But the discontent grew, for mankind was not yet sufficiently adaptable to do without sleeping.
