I have to disagree with you to some extent: When you are learning something new, it behoves you to listen to the experts on the subject. Later, as your confidence level improves, you can start marching to your own drum beat. If I just blustered on, ignoring the advice of others, I would not have learnt a valuable skill as far as using interfaces is concerned.

 I agree with this statement and your further reasoning on the subject.

I'm not so sure about that. Reading about something and then playing with the idea by inventing your own flavor let's you run into problems and let's you come up with solutions. You may actually get an idea why the experts think it's better to do A and regard B as a bad idea.
There are always books which tell you what to do, but rarely they also tell you why. The MVX type patterns come in many different flavors, depending on the personal preferences of the guru who invented them. For example, I don't really like MVVM so much because it relies so much on data binding. While the designers, for who we remove all code from the view, have never appeared to help me with my work, I get a little pain in the stomach because of that wasteful amount of data binding.
You can of course see all that differently and use any pattern that suits you better.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Really? I prefer my own cave over any hotel and on vacation I use my room only for sleeping.

I had a similar problem with MVC, just couldn't wrap my head around it. But I'm creating a site and it is finally sinking in and I really like it.

Once I got it working and saw how simple it really is, I was very pleased that I came across Laguna's approach.

It's funny it seems like you read a lot of articles, blogs, etc. on a certain subject and don't really get it then you run across that one person that explains the way your brain works and it just clicks.

Very true, especially for me. I must have browsed through many dozens of sites, before I came across this gem!

Has anybody had a look at this?
Pony - High Performance Actor Programming
Described as
Quote: Pony is an open-source, object-oriented, actor-model, capabilities-secure, high performance programming language.
Long way to go yet but has some interesting features which, perhaps, will be picked up elsewhere if Pony fails to gain traction.

Neigh I haven't tried it.
Is it still in the stable?

It is still quite unstable.
... such stuff as dreams are made on

Pony is a slightly unfortunate choice of name. In cockney rhyming slang, "pony and trap" means - well you can guess. And it generally gets shortened to "pony".
Slogans aren't solutions.

It's probably saddled with too much baggage.

We all should start anew with Pony, because honestly, stop beating the dead horse!

Story is here:
Spammers expose their entire operation through bad backups | CSO Online
Quote: Vickery had discovered everything. From Hipchat logs and domain registration records, to accounting details, infrastructure planning and production notes, scripts, and business affiliations. In addition, Vickery uncovered 1.34 billion email accounts. These are the accounts that will receive spam, or what RCM calls offers. Some of these records also contained personal information, such as full names, physical addresses, and IP addresses.
Sure there is more to come out of this....

|

That's terrible!
It means that 1.34 billion spam traps are now available to spammers!
Um, wait...

Log off, Restart, and Turn Off do nothing. It's been this way for a while. Such simple functions and they don't work. You get what you pay for. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Have you tried this: Turn off[^]

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Yes, luckily, that bypasses the unbuntu pOS so it works.

I'm fairly sure that sudo shutdown -h/r should still work.
Or exit, to logout.
I think the main issue with Ubuntu is the reliance on the desktop manager.
That said, the shutdown/restart/logoff buttons on my Gnome3 desktop (on my Arch build) work just fine
