Oh, I would so love to see you succeed with the Amaran lights, which presumably would lead to all of the Aputure stuff being reverse engineered? I think if there was an open-source integration for them with say the Elgato Stream Deck or Hom

It is worth pointing out that this blog post is old, from January. Julia 0.5 adds a phenomenal new feature, the dot syntax [1], that automatically fuses vectorized expressions. I believe that feature was added quite a while after this blog

I followed your interactions with the core devs, at least the public ones. I think the core devs handled the situation with an enormous amount of patience and tact.

I've been using julia for a little more than two years now. I've been subscribed to all the mailing lists and regularly read the github issues. Not all of them, but a fair share. I've never, ever seen any behavior by any of t

The top edition already is $1700, the cost of adding LTE must be a pretty small fraction of total cost at that point. For business people your arguments 2 and 3 are actually incorrect: I don't want to use my personal data plan for my w

Well, sure, for a consumer device that I use on my couch in the evenings, I certainly don't need LTE. But the Pro seems pretty geared towards business, right? For business travelers this makes a huge, huge difference, though. And it se

Why, oh why is there no version with 3G/LTE? That is by far the biggest bummer, imho. For people that are on the road a lot that makes such a difference, and pretty much all other tablets offer that option, so it seems really lame to n

Yes, multi window finally works as it should in Excel 2013. That alone was a reason for me to update the second it was released.

Earlier releases emphasized NumPy/SciPy for IronPython. Is that effort dead? There were major holes, like no support for matplotlib, and I had kind of hoped that these would be filled over time, but now it looks as if the whole thing is mov

I can get tethering to work, my mom: never. My parents both got iPads and a device that isn't just online all the time could never ever work for them. iPad really set the bar on that one.

No 3G at all? Zune all over again.

But you can't use things like git from ISE because it doesn't support interactive console apps...

Copying files is an excellent issue: at some point I suggested either on the PowerShell blog or their feedback site that PowerShell should have the ability to copy files via remoting (essentially what you mention, you can remote into a box

I looked at Azure to see how these things work there. Here is my current understanding: blob and table storage in Azure Storage is automatically geo-replicated between regions. If you don't want that you can reduce your storage cost by abou

Is a system that has Windows Update switched on, i.e. is up to date with security patches, at risk? That might be a cheaper way than to buy their software... It seems to me that if you use up to date versions of the MS software stack there
