Not much. People who don't use it will find significant entrenchment in what they already have. Its not easy to switch to. People who do use it may see a cost reduction with cheaper deployment platforms and cheaper tools. There may be

Actually it goes back to 1999 and was a project that involved HP, Microsoft and Intel. The first release was in 2002 and it was public knowledge in 2000.

Partner Action Pack + Visual Studio Pro without MSDN is your best bet. (or visual studio community if you qualify)

Which is what systemd is built on. At least on windows COM stays in user space but no, fuck it, lets use kdbus on Linux...

Problems: 1. Solved problem. Contribute to something else. 2. Its another tentacle hanging off systemd. Some of us pay for our software (RHEL) so we'd in turn like to have some say in what we have to manage rather than prescriptive sof

Useless page. The mobile version does a poor job of compressing the images resulting in the data labels being unreadable. Bring on SVG for this sort of stuff.

Ok I'm a bit off there. My data was from 2009 :) Plus DoD is several branches so that's a bit of a push.

Lennart proclaimed therefore we all must follow. That appears to be how it works these days. No community, no discussion. Someone with commit access says bend over or fork it. Actually fuck that. Which is why I'm sitting here on a Free

If you think that's bad, try the NHS in the UK. Its the largest organisation in the world with 1.4M employees (!). They've been rolling windows 7 out for 4 years. It'll be obsolete when they've finished.

Actually systemd is more like DCOM which is much worse. The registry is fucking marvellous in comparison.

That's handy: I fix them for a hobby so :-) It's a pretty easy fix. I'd buy a new joystick and replace it yourself though rather than repair the unit. It's possible but I've never taken that assembly to bits. The T

Sounds like an Orson Scott Card plot from Xenocide i.e. Descolada.

They have it figured out already: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkyZGZRnQb4 This is called "emacs fingers" in the office... More seriously I do most of my work on paper with a pencil.

I bought a dead Korg Trinity synthesizer (for £50) a few years ago some chump had poured a cup of tea inside and it burned up a few traces, fortunately all power ones. I would have actually done those steps but after doing a year of rework

I did. I really don't think you understand the scale of the problem.

Thanks for the info. I'd have a couple of problems with exporting the volume because I need postfix to talk to a Unix domain socket that dovecot listens on for SASL auth. I'll go with the process manager solution - thanks for your

Couple of points/questions, at least from my perspective as a man of many hats to anyone passing by the above comment: 1. Docker appears to only allow a single entry point per container. What do I do if I want to run a container consis

But that's illogical. If you know the bar and restaurant scene in London, it's very volatile. Restaurants and bars change names at an incredible rate. "The knowledge" will have expired by the time you've learned it.

Well the dataset is about the same size now, perhaps 10% larger. The individual problem to solve is easily distributed across a large cluster of systems. 30kloc of COM/IDL as well that is. The actual routing engine was about 12kloc and

It's not a terribly hard job actually. I worked for a startup in 2004 that was doing this with haulage companies. We had 8000 data points moving around the UK coming in via GPRS and 3rd parties, traffic information aggregated and routi

That's probably not "The Knowledge"; that's just some local experience and the fact that it's a high probability someone is going from that precise restaurant quite often. I myself have drunkenly hailed many a taxi

Well I drive around London a lot during the day time (inside CC zone) and Google Maps is pretty damn good on Android. I did a few years in taxis but owning a car that is CC exempt is cheaper including parking in NCP holes. Part of the reaso

Well the DC vendor "prefers HP" and they have a couple of thousand racks so not so sure...

Yes this. My total computing outlay this year is £70 so far. That's £52 for the Samsung SSD (840 Evo) which was new, some rubber feet and a couple of keytops for an X201 I intercepted on the way to the recyclers and £8 for a wireless m

I'm definitely trying it. If you have solved the aforementioned problems then I'm interested.

That's a wonderful description and right on the mark :)

Agree entirely. That's why I go half-way and use Windows Azure's PaaS platform. Much less painful. The company I currently work for have to full racks in two data centres each, most of which is near idle and it's a full time

I have a similar approach albeit a different manifestation I suspect: I try to avoid accumulating money as compensation of my time. If I'm not being paid, I'm not working so I tend to work what I need to. If I am being paid, I&#x2

Probably because they are a virtual and colo hoster so aren't generally responsible for the security of the machines they host. Also, a big chunk of people who buy these machines are less responsible than they should be. At best this i
