As consumers, we felt we needed the option to shop great products that inspired us without spending time in the discovery process. What if we could find one place that got to know us in a snap, and offered the latest products from amazing brands? As professionals from the world of search, e-commerce and machine learning, we decided we had to fill that void building a great experience that would turn shopping into an inspiring and satisfying moment.
Though, if you can budget to go through FCC Verification testing (class B), maybe around $1000-1500 depending on your test house, it can sometimes be quite a useful learning experience for a board of moderate complexity. It is surprising where RF leaks out of these days. For a device that is this simple, it is probably fine. Officially, my opinion is that you should always have all the proper certifications in place.

Unfortunately, the $10k U2F certification is not that unreasonable compared to other similar certifications I have seen... As the fees don't just cover interoperability testing, but also legal fees if the trademark or specification must be defended.

> it can't get more users without better drivers

Drivers on Linux have always been like this, that's not the issue.

The real issue is that modern line-of-business application development (which is where the money is) has left the desktop for good. Windows has the same problem. It's not the Linux desktop that is dying, it's "the desktop" as a concept. Desktop vendors are sandboxing everything to death, for security reasons; and sandboxed apps are basically equivalent to a browser. More and more, the desktop is just a bootloader for browsers.

The only way out of this rut would require inventing something amazingly useful that is safe to share across desktop apps but not with browsers. The desktop needs something that appeals the mainstream and cannot be browserized. I don't expect Apple to ever come up with this (they love "browserization", it opened the market to their profitable mobile hardware), but Microsoft should really give it a go.

Never said that is was all roses in our defence force. Ironically my sister in law (in the Air Force) is undergoing a formal complaint review at the moment because she is the subject of systemic bullying and cronyism in her section.

Big problem with text logs is the moment something you log doesn't fit what you were expecting. A message has a new-line? all the sudden you either have to escape characters or you have to handle the data being put on the next line rather than the next log message. How do you detect when that happens? A message doesn't fit the format properly? Ok so let's encode the data, base64? now you can't grep the logs anymore for information, it's an opaque format with meta data, might as well use SQLite or some other structured format.
> Expression templates do look very intriguing and powerful, I wonder what kind of application it enable.

Fast chain of operations on an array was one of the primary motivations. You can take a look at Blitz++, I believe it was the first library to push that idea. But ET is not limited to numerical operations on an array, you could do query optimization, optimization of string concatenation, essentially any application where deforestation of parse trees have the potential to make things faster.
I use a subdomain of a domain I own, such as internal.example.com

I can then run a BIND instance with internal.example.com as a root, then map all my services to their own domain if need be.

This is a little overkill for a one man shop, but it's a nice little home development setup.

The one thing you need to configure, if you want it to work out of the box is that your DHCP server needs to send back the IP address of your local BIND service for DNS, else it won't work right and you'll need to manually configure it every time.

An example of where this worked well for me was when I was using one nginx instance to run snapshots of all my clients websites. With nginx, you can set up "virtual hosts" which map a hostname to a configuration block. You could also just edit your /etc/hosts file to accomplish the same thing I guess.
yea that's the one problem I've seen with journald that needs a proper solution. The other features it brings I've loved for my desktop but I wouldn't want it for long term data/logging yet.
I use SQLite almost all the time now on my desktop apps especially, for logging and other data intensive tasks that require only a single read/write thread. It replaced text logging for me as searching and segregating log messages is now a breeze.

I've also used it as a main data store for single user Win32 apps.

In my early days of web app programming, I had an app that created a brand new SQLite data file for EACH customer that logged in and created an account on the web app. I thought it would be the most secure way to separate datasets and protect privacy for each user whilst negating the multiple write lock issues on the same SQLite database. Tip: Don't even bother to do this! The eventual data maintenance headache was far worse... :)
Eich resigned because his political views made it difficult for him to continue doing his job.

He wasn't imprisoned, nothing was done to him with the force of law. He just had/has unpopular views and accepted the consequences of holding those views.

> High latency feedback forces you to be more methodical in your development and think about the changes you're making.

There is also an attitude in computer music that low latency audio and realtime systems are simply part of the march of historical progress and ultimately represent a step forward from the days when composers could wait a week to hear 15 seconds of music rendered.

I found that I like the think-write-render-listen-repeat loop that comes from a compiled music workflow. (I discovered this when writing a -- initially very slow -- nonrealtime python computer music system which in the early days would sometimes have me waiting a few hours to render a couple minutes of music.)

Realtime computer systems enabled all sorts of new forms of live improvisation, interactive algorithmic systems, etc but sometimes it's very nice to have to sit in a quiet room with a text editor or notebook and think your way through the next long render.
Looking at the defects potential, I'm not sure I would rely on this as more than a "hotter spare" configuration... ex: only write to primary, then secondary if initial fails. Read from wherever.

That said, It seems like this doesn't have the reliability constraints I'd really want to see... however as a "hotter" spare option, that might be nice. It seems like it wouldn't take much to turn this into a fast auto-failover master-slave model.
I suspect that legislation will never be able to run ahead of the human capacity to rapidly and efficiently paint oneself into a corner.

Rather than trying to prevent the resulting busts at all costs, it seems that it would be more effective to work towards building support systems that are antifragile in the face of economic downturns.

ESENT plays very nice in high-concurrency scenarios.

Implementing client/server where you only need an embedded DB comes at price. It bloats and complicates the installer, increases attack surface, conflicts with other software for listening TCP port number, interferes with firewalls, consumes more resources, slows the startup, etc…

Now, I never really enjoyed the fact you could enter a shop and steal from it, and then sell it to the vendor. In Oblivion they fixed that.

It's called not talking politics or religion at work. Or not discriminating against someone because of something unrelated to their job. There is zero conflict of interest between Eich supporting prop 8 and heading the Mozilla foundation. Same as there is zero conflict of interest for Palmer Luckey supporting the leading candidate in the presidential election.
I'm being a bit unfair on KDE. Their efforts on Frameworks are excellent. Kwin especially is an amazing thing. But as a desktop, it's a disaster. Bloated, awful UX. Nearly every "core" app basically depends on the entire desktop, which makes them unusable outside of it.

Also, I tend to do all my work using a realtime-feedback model like this.

I discovered inotifywait a few years ago, and consider it to be the coolest thing I've discovered. Using a loop like:

while true; do clear; ./program; inotifywait -qq -e delete_self program; done

I run my program, then sit waiting until I re-save it, at which point I run it again. This approach is very flexible; the example above works for shell scripts, or I can do "gcc -o file file.c && ./file", or I can do "node file.js", or whatever. Switching the sequence around I can have inotifywait pause before the first execution too, but I prefer the method above. I occasionally substitute "clear" for "tput reset" so I can wipe my scrollback and shift+pgup stops at the top of
the current execution.

There are some caveats though.

The biggest is that this approach doesn't work too well for things that need to be killed to be restarted, like socket servers; that's fixable but nontrivial and likely project-specific too.

The second problem are the race conditions that will likely arise between your editor's slow file-save process and inotify's fast response time, producing irritating "File is in use" errors 50% of the time (since inotifywait exited, bash looped, and ./program is trying to be read by your compiler or interpreter while still locked by your editor).

The DELETE_SELF inotify event is specific to the Geany text editor; when Geany saves a file it does quite a few operations, and DELETE_SELF is amongst the last (but inotify doesn't see any of the following events since DELETE_SELF marks that the file - that inotify was watching - got deleted; this is thankfully coincidental with Geany being done with the file). You'll need to do something like "inotifywait -m program" and watch what events occur; inotifywait exits on the first event received; hopefully there's a lone unique event at the end of the sequence. Worst-case scenario you might have to add in "sleep 0.05"; I have not tested the success of prefixing the compilation step with something like "while [ ! -r program ]; do true; done".

WhitneyLand is probably not arguing against the claim you make in the large, but against the unsubstantiated argument that using IDEs and debuggers is more likely to lead you to that style of thinking than high latency variants.

One could just as easily hypothesize that these tools let you avoid thinking in the small, and help you form a big picture overview that would otherwise be difficult to understand.

So true. However, you can disable this behavior and then just forget about it:
