I had enough hiccups getting a clean install of Windows 10 Pro to function fully featured on my XPS15 (6 individual drivers to get full support from the Thunderbolt dock), I couldn't imagine getting a Linux environment going.

+1 to this, currently typing from a two-weeks new XPS15 9560. Manually installed Windows and graphics drivers, I have tinkered with the Intel HD Graphics settings a fair bit previously, however. Would not be surprised if that were the culpr

That's a good tip. One would think the same should happen after clicking "no thanks" on the banner.

That's exactly what I was talking about. Nice work!

I wonder if perhaps the elephant simply finds the outburst of smoke entertaining?

I'd love if I could filter this by target color(s), and see a subset that approximate that selection. Being able to select "red to orange" or "blue to green" would be great! Even some approximation of hex codes woul

I've had trouble accessing the Google Analytics dashboard(s) in FF as well. Nothing gets rendered except the background gradient. In the interest of not using Chrome though, when I run into such issues I use Brave as it's Chromium

I have been using an Anker vertical mouse for about a year now. It's far from feature rich, but the build quality is impressive for a $20 mouse, and it's very comfortable. AAA battery life is good-great (it's not rechargable)

I cannot express my disappointment in the "The Ultimate Quiz" being unavailable. http://brendanberkley.com/first-site/ultimatequiz.html

Slack gets pretty resource-intensive when the user is part of multiple workspaces. I know one of my co-workers is part of three or four, whereas I'm only part of the main company workspace. Co-worker's Slack memory usage is around

>So we can talk shit about the management and people we don't like! Heh, at my last job we always went out to a pub for some burgers and beer on Fridays. 75% of the conversation revolved around exactly this. I found it an important

Oh, I hope there is a Windows-compatible way to use this (i.e.: in a .NET dev environment), if not now, then in the future.

This instantly strikes me as more social than Uber/Lyft because you're not "hiring" anyone. Hell, I bet users will even sit in the front seat together.

I must admit, HN is the last place I expected to find a link to a Trailer Park Boys clip.

I know I definitely want to try this. I don't think I would ever buy one to have in my home, but it really would be cool to and fun to try.

I didn't get the sense that they were implying that it was acceptable at all. My understanding of that comment was that they were pointing out that the problem is international, and doesn't only exist in America.

Sure seems that way. Just ask any Azure customer using the North and South central data centers.

nuget.org has been failing for me. Can't get any packages to download. All our North Central App Services and Azure SQL instances alike are down. EDIT: https://status.nuget.org/ is showing that their services are unrea

> Pull request is an anti-pattern anyway. Would you consider elaborating on this? I'm curious to hear what some negatives of the PR model might be, as I've recently taken a personal interest in dev workflows.

Yeah, as much as I like tinkering on my own machine, if someone has a machine go down at work, or gets approved for an upgrade, etc., tech support gets a call and they come drop a new box on our desk. Not enough time in the day for us to ma

When nVidia's model numbers rolled over, I had a true moment of panic. Didn't know what to do with myself anymore.

Nothing helps you learn new tech quite like fighting to the death with it!

If being some sort of sysadmin craftsman gets you up in the morning, all the power to you. But for many others, "good enough" really is good enough.

Creating notes is not the problem people are trying to solve. They're trying to make managing them easier.

It's true; "fool me once" and all that. But it really doesn't make the world a better place to live if it's easier to get fired by accident.

Agreed on all points. This has law firms written all over it.
