Care to elaborate? I think Amazon does it similarly, so what's so baroque about it?

Nice! It fixes most annoyances of the original Dune II, e.g. you can use your right mouse button to order units to move somewhere, and there is finally a production queue.

Nearly crashed my system by eating up all of the memory (Firefox), runs nice in Chrome though.

It was clumsy, but worked well enough for me. Any idea what library is being used?

This. So very much this.

Thats the typical Oliver Samwer / Rocket Internet style, and thats the culture where those assholes come from. Sad, really, but somehow, this feels very german to me.

The name of said language being "Plankalkül". Which is the best name for a programming language. Ever.

("Plan Calculus" doesn't quite capture it)

Nice one, I like it.

Hell yeah! While there are some nice looking Notebooks, PC cases are especially awful. What puzzles me is that this is even true for 300$+ aluminium pc cases specificaly made to please the design-sensitive crowd (e.g. Lian Li). It seems all respectable designers doing computer cases work at Apple. I believe there is a huge market waiting to be served, so: get rich quick! Make beautiful pc cases for a reasonable price so I can finally buy one!

Watched the screencast. First thought when I saw 'SomeClass extends Controller': this will be hard to evolve.

Tapestry 5 has done away with this and does not require interfaces or superclasses anymore in order to avoid breaking the API in future releases, they should have learned from that.

Unfortunately, there's nothing funny to see here, please move along.

May I ask what you new career is?

This is exactly why I think Scala is the JVMs C++: a powerful, but highly complex language with every feature imaginable crammed into it. I think it was Gilad Bracha that remarked how Scala's type system is nearly Turing complete (maybe in the meantime, it actually is).

I always strive for simplicity, and Clojure fits the bill much better, at least imho.

Exactly, like game developers starting to write their 3D engine in Lua. I don't get it.
