We use typesafe config for our Java configuration, after inheriting it via Akka + Play. The immutable recursive nature of the API is a slightly bigger win than the config itself, which is just OK.

The way the config composes between reference.conf and application.conf and possibly more confs in the classpath can be a bit confusing, but the API gives you the ability to introspect the source of a config value. It's pretty nifty when you need the overlaying behaviour though.

There's a lot more ports for it available now than when we started using it several years ago, which decreases its previously monolingual risk quite a bit.

It's funny you end your comment with that remark on war...

The Internet you mentioned at the top of your comment saw its roots as a DARPA project called "ARPANET". That's right, it was a Department of Defense project.

During the Cold War and the Space Race, the military was heavily tied with "general science and technology research". Aerospace, materials, you name it, if it had some sort of military application it was looked into.

So yeah, war sucks and the military might waste money in some projects but it's unwise the look at military and science in black-and-white, this-or-the-other terms.

For me, it seemed like everyone around me in my CS classes just got it. There were definitely times I felt stupid because of it and it was demotivating to see so many people having an easy time while I struggled. When your assignments are taking you 8 hours and other people are getting them done in 3 hours, you start to think, "maybe I'm just not cut out for this". Eventually I started to get it and it became much easier for me, but it took a while. Who knows? Maybe I'm still not cut out for this.

The KDE bug reporting process is completely broken.

You need an account on their system just to report a problem. I suspect that a large number of problems are never reported because the process of documenting them is just too difficult for most users. There is no automated crash reporting at all.

As far as I can tell the bugs that are reported go into a black hole and not addressed for years, if ever.
This is a great project and a very good approach to IT security, but the price point is really a bit high at over 300 €. Currently I run OpenWrt on a TP-Link Archer C7, which costs only one fourth of the price of the Omnia. Of course it has much lower specs with just 16 MB of flash and 128 MB of RAM, but for most small business or home use cases this is more than enough (anyway you don't want to use your flash as a HDD as it cannot be rewritten very often).

In my opinion it would make more sense for them to focus on the software side of things, as stock OpenWrt leaves much to desire in terms of usability, so having a nicely polished and user-friendly interface on top of it would be something that I'd be willing to pay for (but please let me use it with my own hardware).
Useless class is catchier. I like it.
This is just an escalation attack, not one which is remotely exploitable.

You still need access to the machine in order to take advantage of this and by the time you have access to the machine you can run your own keylogger if you'd like. The only increased risk here is the ability to look back into the past.

Which is bad on its own, but let's not exaggerate. This didn't get any dissidents killed. Nor is it likely to.
I'm not sure it's that simple. For example, the people I knew who hated the removal of skeuomorphism didn't get over it when they watched WWDC, or some TV commercial. They just kept using their devices, and waited a long time before upgrading. But they then upgraded and shut up, and not because they saw a commercial.

Having worked in the connected car/telematics industry for a while as a contractor, I can very well relate to this and can confirm that the security systems in place inside the car's telematics unit is not good enough. For example, in one of the oauth process of authenticating a car with the cloud, the VIN was passed around as a client secret and MDN of the modem as the username ! We recommended to immediately stop this practice, but the "IT" dept of the automotive maker said, " You know we sell cars, not security software." There is no budget to rewrite the mechanism, and the telematics unit cannot be updated OTA. The upgrade requires customers bringing the car to a dealer and USB stick updates etc.

I believe the frequent bursts of data from the car was given to insurance companies. Or they were trying to package insurance deal along with the car sale or something.
Its common to credit the military with scientific advances. But when you spend a trillion dollars, and get non-stick skillets, you start to wonder if there was a cheaper way.

Its like, "I don't like being an assassin, but at least I get to meet new people".

> Even though I'm a small government, pro-markets kind of guy

There's something at the root of the American psyche that makes us deathly afraid to admit otherwise. Is it a fear of appearing weak, relying on institutions? Is it a fear of being compared to those who are on welfare?

I believe this fear is holding back many of us from discussing solutions in earnest. Social services, and the pervasive hand of the government, has a place in a healthy technologically oriented society in the 21st century. But it must be a place of transparency and low-corruption in order for our institutions to be trusted.

Or we can continue to fervently worship short-term profits over long-term pursuits, and continue to insultingly underfund research.

When I sold my last house I had no idea what it was worth (the market was going crazy at the time) so I called an appraiser to see if he would give me a good starting point.

The first question he asked was what I was listing it for. He also made it clear that he would not physically inspect the house or do anything more than a cursory comp search.

Real estate sales are just loaded down with parasites looking to skim off of every transaction. IMHO it is an industry badly in need of disruption, but sadly a lot of the middlemen have their positions enshrined in laws, regulations, and corporate policy. Another good example: why do we pay Realtors a percentage of the sale price instead of a fixed rate? They're basically glorified babysitters that are just there to make sure you aren't stealing everything from the homes.

I feel like I'm being asked to list all the shortcuts I use, which seems impossible and I've never used Gnome, so I don't know what it's missing. But off the top of my head the must haves are:

1. Open a new terminal and max screen it with focus in the prompt, not on the "window".

2. Move windows between workspaces.

3. Screenshot with copy to clipboard.

4. Disable "quit all" for applications on an application-by-application basis (I never want to nuke chrome, but I often want to close all finder windows).

5. When plugged into a monitor, move active application to the monitor and have it show up correctly. If it was maximized or full screen, make it maximized or full screen in the new context and make sure to handle different pixel resolutions correctly.

6. Fullscreen toggle.

7. Maxscreen toggle.

8. Paste from clipboard without formatting.

9. Make capslock an additional control.

10. Remap individual control keys and have them work in all contexts and in all ways resemble those keys (something that Unity doesn't do which drives me insane in Slack in the browser where I can't always copy and paste because Slack somehow knows capslock isn't a "real" control).

The question is whether the correlation stays strong, though.

Depends highly on family scheduling.

On weeks where I have a free Saturday (no kids or girlfriend) I can get in a solid 8-12 hours depending on motivation and other chores.

On weeks where I don't get that Saturday it can range from 2-6 hours if I'm lucky.

My current side project is something that if I had a company I could task out 2-4 devs, full-time, for probably 3-6 months just to get to beta state.

It actually really sucks, and is more depressing than I generally admit.

> if you and about 20 hotshot engineers could clone the product in a year, then it's not innovation

I think this statement runs against the argument these OP is trying to make. It's the massive number of failures that occur on the way to finding the innovation that important but don't show up when duplicating the end product. It's not hard to make a lightbulb if you have a good vacuum pump and know what filament to use, but trying thousands of different metals while inventing new vacuum techniques is expensive and hard.

(I appreciate your core argument, I just think this particular statement runs against it)

> which hints that there were enough users against it

I'm pretty sure those users are a vocal minority.

Personally I loved Unity. The only thing I disliked about Unity and Ubuntu's UI in general is the lack of configuration options, having to install extra buggy configuration managers to do really basic stuff, like turning Caps Lock into Ctrl. But that's a problem with the whole Gnome ecosystem and not Unity.

And Unity I loved, because it has pretty good keyboard shortcuts, is space efficient and generally worked for me just fine out of the box.

Going back to why Canonical dropped it, I'm pretty sure that's because they are giving up on the Linux desktop in general.

As for the comparison with Apple, dude, you're comparing David and Goliath, except this is the real world.
So we should be anticipating the breakup of those monopolies somewhere around 2076?

We could keep subsidizing these companies by giving up our privacy while they build up said research wings, or we could just spend it on research wings that are already decades old (you know, the unis that made those companies possible).

You're right, they do produce useful stuff, but it's a really inefficient way of doing it.
So first of all, this looked/looks awesome. Open hardware FTW.

My gripes include it being difficult to get ahold of one in the US. The idea of unattended auto updates on a router seems a bit dangerous, but it's all OSS anyway. It's initial rollout was meant for data collection (which can be turned off on the paid product). I wish I knew if you could run vanilla OpenWRT/LEDE on it and not their fork (support, maintenance, future look). Overall though, cool.
> the invention of the internet, [...] – were the result of sustained and substantial government investment

Hardly. Anyone who has been in the industry for more than 30 years knows that anyone with 2 or more computers immediately desired to hook them together. All kinds of networks were developed, eventually all merging into the internet. BIX, Prodigy, MCImail, FidoNet, Compuserve, Novell, just to name a few off the top of my head, not to mention innumerable others people invented.

The article is completely one sided, failing to mention such innovations as Ethernet, Xerography and, of course, the transistor itself. If a product consists of innovations A B C D and the government did C, it presumes that C would never otherwise have come about. It's classic selection bias.

Since the current administration has a credibility problem, people just think it's ridiculous security theater. Incredible claims require incredible evidence.

Are you trolling? The following is a list of "threats" more real than terrorism: (Note that money would be better spent on teaching the Heimlech maneuver by several orders of magnitude)

Heart Disease
Cancer
Lung Disease
Stroke
Alzheimers
Diabetes
Flu
Kidney Disease
Suicide
Car accident
Falling
Assault by gun
Choking on food

You'd save infinitely more lives since spending on any of these since there will most likely be 0 deaths from airline related terrorism.

So, people are concluding that this is theater designed to deflect away from the firing of Comey, which was executed in the dumbest manner possible.

it's easy to agree with this analysis, scoff at the economy and its participants, and move on.

But the reality is that the economy and the participants are reacting in sane ways to an insane regulatory environment. That sounds silly, because regulation has never been more unpopular, but it's stealth regulation in the form of patents, copyrights, and other "intellectual property" laws working hand in hand with licensing and scope-of-practice restrictions that incumbants use to stifle newcomers. Combine that with fallow enforcement of antitrust laws, and it is a disaster.

We need to make the legal system more supportive of competition in all forms, and we should elect politicians who will make that happen.

The catch-22 is the efficacy of lobbying money in preventing this change: incumbants have captured the legislature, and it will be very very difficult to fix.

There was a lovely TV show from the UK back in the 1980's called Yes Prime Minister - one of the frequent exchanges between the senior public servant, and the PM, when the former wanted the latter to back down on something, was for the phrase 'That's very brave of you ...' to be uttered. Brave does not necessarily imply profound, good, worthwhile, etc. Canonical's 'brave decision' to go out and create their own DE (despite two very competent options already existing) does not imply it was a good decision.

Lovefield: In-browser relational DB for webapps
As my psychotherapist put it yesterday: people that seek self-esteem in an unhealthy way are vampires. "You have to become your own bloodsource" she said.

When you seek self-esteem in an unhealthy way, you do things to get approval/validation from others. You'll suck some blood from girls who like you, suck some blood from jobs you apply for that want you, tell friends about all the high-end interviews you have and the cool things you're doing. But after you've gotten what you need from the girls, the jobs, the friends, you realize you never really wanted any of them. And that you wasted your time in the process when you should seek what YOUR OWN PATH is. Self-compassion/kindness is when you become your own sustainable bloodsource of self-esteem and it is critical for your survival and success.
