FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Currently, there is an explosion of tools that aim to manage secrets for automated, cloud native infrastructure management. Daniel Somerfield did some work classifying the various approaches, but (as far as I know) no one has made a recent effort to summarize the various tools.

This is an attempt to give a quick overview of what can be found out there. The list is alphabetical. There will be tools that are missing, and some of the facts might be wrong--I welcome your corrections. For the purpose, I can be reached via @maxvt on Twitter, or just leave me a comment here.

There is a companion feature matrix of various tools. Comments are welcome in the same manner.

Elgato Eve HomeKit Services & Characteristics

A work in progress collection of proprietary and as of yet undocumented HomeKit characteristics and their UUIDs used by Elgato Eve.

This list is not including all Eve accessories available and some services and characteristics still make no sense to me. If you have anything to contribute, please leave a comment. There is no guarantee that the information listed below is correct.

I've known people at nodejitsu for years, since before the company even existed. I still consider many of them friends. That said, somebody over there has lost their mind.

Trademarks are an important part of open source. They protect the integrity of the trust that is built by any project. A classic example of why this is the case is Firefox. Suppose that a malware producer takes the Firefox codebase, which is free and open source, packages up their malware with it and then releases it as "Firefox". Then they buy search advertising and suddenly their bad and malicious version of Firefox is the first result on search engines across the web. This is clearly a bad thing for Firefox and open source everywhere, but what can Mozilla do to protect their community of users?

They can't enforce a software license since the use is permitted under the Mozilla Public License. They can, however, enforce on these hypothetical bad actors using their trademark on the word "Fi

In considering where Objective-C could go, it's worthwhile to start by understanding the work that's already been done.

Below are a selection of papers from Gilad Bracha's 1990s work on Strongtalk, an extension of Smalltalk (from which Objective-C's design derives) with (among other things), stronger type-safety tooling.

What's interesting (to me, anyway), is that the work done on the Self/Strongtalk VM in the early 90s was actually bought by Sun and became the modern Java VM. When Google got started on their V8 JavaScript runtime, guess who shows up again — Lars Bak, who was the technical lead for both the Strongtalk and HotSpot Java VMs.

If we're going to be talking about how to apply "modern" (1990s!) ideas to Objective-C, we'd be wise to review the considerable work done in considering those sorts of problems in a Smalltalk-derived universe, and lifting whatever good ideas we can, and discarding
