Similar state of affairs here. I installed windows 8 the day it came out, found it to be a pile of tripe, swore at it and rolled the machine back to 7 and vowed never to touch it again. Then our hand was forced with an 8.1 upgrade at work (

This. I'm liking MacOS X. It's had "preview" in it since day one and it just works. It also displays PDF ToC nicely as well and allows annotations. Ubuntu always confuses the crap out of me from a desktop perspective. Fo

Just a note from me, as I tried one for a week. Not enough RAM! My 2011 MBP has 16Gb of RAM and my 2014 HP Z420 has 32Gb of RAM. I can barely spin up our product on a machine with 8Gb of RAM without killing everything else I'm doing on

Please don't downvote - he/she is right. I'll back this up. Visual Studio Professional above appears in the start menu as Visual Studio Professional so if you type "Vis" it appears. However the Express SKUs are call

Same issue here with 10.9 and Chrome 36. Get 4h45m with Chrome versus 6h30m with Safari doing the same tasks daily on a 2011 MBP i7. Not overly bothered as I work right next to a power socket all day every day but it's an interesting s

Can you install JIRA on that copy of windows 2008 server R2 and access it via VPN? Straight away we have ambiguity. Can you run your staging site on it for demonstration purposes? More ambiguity. All it takes is a small mis-step.

The terms are conflicting across the board so they get to choose the interpretation that suits them best.

This. It's also when windows had win32 and C or MFC and C++. No ATL, no .net, no managed extensions, no WinRT. You could pick tech in no time at all to build something. Then devdiv went batshit and started spewing frameworks galore. No

Would love to but not at the minute because it has hard coded credentials for eBay API in it. It's on my list as a TODO to tidy it up. Will stuff on github and post a Show HN on it soon :) I've got one that monitors amazon prices

I scrape Gumtree and eBay hourly using a python script for certain things I want under a certain price. The script sends me an email with the link in it and I get on top of it sharpish. Managed to bag a lot of stuff over the last couple of

Thanks - will look at that!

Agree with this, as he says pumping another post into the internet. Last proper break I had was in an 1997. Went to see a friend but didn't make it. Stopped off at an interesting looking charity shop (thrift store for my US cousins) an

Most people are impressed by what a person owns or looks like, not what they are capable of or what value they can add to the world. It saddens me. I'd sit with someone who did this and learn how it works! My party trick clears the roo

It isn't and we do that but its not desirable for a startup to do that. Someone with tangible expertise on both platforms is hard to find and expensive (me :-)

Indeed. We thought it was the same and nearly lost two big clients because we didn't see it coming.

Unfortunately we don't mix the two. Npgsql is available though and I understand there is an NHibernate dialect available.

Yes I agree there entirely. But you might as well use java and get the better tooling and staff availability then...

SQL server is pretty much inevitable otherwise you have to deploy on Linux (don't get me started on pgsql/mysql on windows). Then you have two disparate skill sets to maintain at great cost. Startups need to stick to heterogeneous

We were informed ambiguously that some development is production. At that point we stopped playing word games and threw our devops infrastructure on Linux.

We were a gold partner. There are no reasonable discounts over what you pay. Add to that the support isn't any better than the pay per incident support. Action pack is reasonable value but you can't use it to deploy production kit

It works out about the same as Oracle now from SQL 2012. Azure is the only way to cut costs but the managed SQL services are awful. Both are equally hassle-some. SAP is different - you're not paying for a product, you're paying fo

I'd caution against the performance claims. Yes its very good and can take a serious beating but there's a brick wall that requires a pile of tuning and tool purchasing to get over. Oh and the instrumentation and debugging past th

I've been in this situation a couple of times before. It won't make a blind bit of difference initially but if you expand, so will tooling and deployment costs and investors don't like that. Anything that takes off the bottom

Query by event ID. We report the event ID to clients so they can help us correlate a failure condition to the actual error and diagnostic dump.

MAC because this sort of logging is the responsibility of MAC frsmeworks. Integrity control is not MAC. It appeases a few problems but misses the point. It is very slow. Two orders of magnitude slower than syslogng. When there is forwarding

The LHC disagrees with you... I pick a combination of (a) and (d). If someone does something dangerous and stupid we have to snap out of our predisposition to feel sorry for them. Ridicule is fine. As long as you then tell them how not to m

I salute you. Have installed it and it works perfectly. I will recommend this to anyone who needs such a thing. Thank you for your efforts.

And that is a fine example of why you don't rely on such a Rube Goldberg machine for stuff like this... A poor engineering decision killed the fish. I see all sorts of crazy contraptions people have rigged up over the last 5 years sinc
