If all you need is a linux laptop, desktop or server, what kind of killer app does the company need to provide besides a system with supported components?

Exactly, but it's not a modern website problem.

He mentions packet loss of 10%. That's a different problem than a slow connection.

This holds me back from seeking public office as well... Reminds me of this NDP politician in Calgary that had some photo of her surface in which she was holding a joint and giving the flag the finger. It's completely irrelevant (and c

Not all the safety features are in use all the time. Like, you don't use the inflatable slide unless your evacuating.

Some of the comments in here are making me feel bad... if anyone in the Calgary area wants to hang out and talk, feel free to reach out to me.

Two years ago, I added a friend on to my phone plan so that he could call his sick mother. I made it clear to Telus (my carrier) that he should not be able to modify the account or discuss account details with them, and they assured me that

Do you know which role each of those (RethinkDB, Cassandra, Redis, and BerkeleyDB) excel at?

I've used them for about half a dozen instances. No problems at all, and they have very responsive support.

How is it broken? Have waves ceased waving? Have swimmers stopped swimming? The hyperbole is tiresome and detracts from solving the problems.

Koloab works pretty well if you are okay with activesync. It doesn't do MAPI.

I was under the impression that there is a yearly accounting process that occurs between countries that accept mail from each other. So, while the counterfeit postage would allow the mail to be delivered, questions would eventually be asked

That layout is pretty wasteful. The title of article isn't even shown until somewhere into the second page.

Is there some subtext to his comparison that I am missing? Couldn't you say this about most services (no receipt, no pickup)? Why did he choose to compare it to "Chinese Laundry"?

I can't run through it right now, but I guess there are simply too many steps to go from address to navigation. It used to be, as best I recall, input address -> click navigate. The error part comes in from making me visually choo

I have the same complaint. I can't explain how it has changed, but it used to be easy. Now it is difficult and error prone. I guess I just never paid attention to it when it was easy.

"replace null with" returns almost 70 million results on google, so maybe this is a more common occurrence than I believed.

I'm not buying it. In what popular language would 'Null Media LLC' as a string have 'Null ' dropped from it. You'd be bending over backwards to write a system that would do that. If his last name was an escape

VBScript would be something a Samba admin would know of due to VBS being used often for login scripts. Netlogon is a share you would have on your Samba server. Group policy is distributed over SMB. Is this news to you?

Also, please don't say that I don't know what those things are; I've spent more than a decade on each platform as developer/administrator and deal with both all the time. One of my first jobs was writing macros for Word

We can elaborate on those all day, but I nailed the gist of it and you know it.

I think you would find most unix admins know of those things. Powershell is your bash, WMI is your /proc. VBScript and group policy would be things you come across if you work with Samba.

I have to agree with the author: the Window's guy are usually the ones focused on Window's only solutions. Like, for example, a Windows admin having not heard of nmap. This is common.

Stop working for startups like this. Either the person with the idea should learn to help with development, or they should pay you market value. The whole startup culture is starting to make me cringe.

earliest, sickest most repugnant form of vendor-lock-in Hyperbole much? No one is forcing you to use it. If you are so clueless with tech that you don't even know the likes of Gmail exist, why is it wrong for the ISP to hold yo
