This is one way for Microsoft to get into the IoT game. It'll be interesting to see if their ARM port is useable on the new Raspberry Pi.

Nice update, and still at the $35 price point. Too bad it's still ARMv6. It would be nice to have ARMv7 which is where all of the high performance stuff is. Edit. I take that back, it will be ARMv7 arch. Other articles state that th

I picked up a lot of printers for free that were orphaned from windows vista, 7, and now windows 8. They worked fine under linux, without any monkeying around. Free printers due to windows updates. Great stuff!

This is brilliant. Love your description of the different platforms. I really don't think today's Ubuntu desktop is any worse than Windows. In fact, the Unity desktop is much easier to use than windows 8, which is thankfully go

I haven't tried cygwin in quite a few years, but I hear that it's improved a lot. Still a large installation though, but very useful if you must use windows.

When I saw the headline, I thought, "Oh no, I hope they didn't implement the MS Ribbon?" Thankfully they didn't. That MS bug still trips me up whenever I fire up Word. Looks ok, I don't really notice much, mainly

Sounds excellent. I need it today.

This is huge. There are so many approaches to cross platform mobile development, yet none of them really make it easy to integrate a full stack web platform. This is one step closer.

Interestingly, a lot of the parts discussed are still in wide use today. Much of the concepts are necessary for understanding circuits and how they work.

I loved that book. Glad to see an update. It has much practical advice that you don't get in the classroom.

I wish Google Fiber would come to SF. I understand they're doing something like that in the southbay though.

If MS threatens something like that, you'll probably see a large scale migration to desktop linux.

Maybe, but it wouldn't take much to improve on Windows 8.

Strange, but most people I know really can't stand windows 8(.1). Some have been beaten into submission by being forced to use it, but if anything, they'd prefer to go back to windows 7 or xp. I may be a linux user, but that&#x27

If anything, Nadella presents a vastly different attitude from MS than the previous CEOs. For one thing, I haven't seen the incredible arrogance towards other companies and technologies that MS has had in the past. Such as when Ballm

"In the cases such as Google, they also tend to create a monoculture which probably feels right at the moment but I think really hurts the company in the long term" I would agree with you about the monoculture aspect where they te

It seems to me that the focus at HN is on startups that aim for huge growth, and not really small businesses; especially not small, stable businesses that don't have much potential to grow very large. The subject of the article is a s

Great article. Also brings up an aspect of the tech startup mentality that bothers me from time to time. From my reading of pg and ycombinator's focus on fast hockey stick like growth curves, it seems that you can easily dismiss&#x2F

Nice setup. I've used vnc before, not x11vnc so I'm not sure if it's similar. But vnc seemed to require a lot of bandwidth to run. But it's definitely nice.

Pretty cool idea, I never thought of remotely admin into an Ubuntu laptop. I know it's easy to do, just never thought of it. I know that's what a lot of industry does for windows systems, but hey, you got to do a lot to keep wind

The only engineering management program at our school is a graduate degree for engineers with undergrad engineering degrees already. One of the attractions of Comp Sci was the availability of jobs, which was why they tried to complete a tr

Your comments about the software development process reminds me of the arguments from a few years ago, against open source software, like linux. One of the arguments for professionally made, closed source, proprietary software (like Micros

The xcode problems sounds almost like Google's change to Android Studio from eclipse. Except, Android Studio was never as bad, and it got better very quickly. In fact, Andoid Studio is probably at least as good as eclipse for Android
