This is pretty much my situation, except my personal experiences have never actually been awful enough with them to persuade me to switch when all I really use them for at this point is easily sharing stuff.

I'm certainly getting that feeling.

OneNote is included! Wow you have no idea how happy that makes me as a OneNote user since 2006 or so. It's my favorite part of Office.

I think we can safely assume that two to four billion unique users for a single deployment of some software that originally had a small user count and only four billion unique public network identifications are at a completely different lev

I agree with almost everything--except for backwards compatibility when it comes to throwing stuff out. There is definite value in it, especially when we're talking about something as old and widely used as vim! The thing about compati

Ambitious. Best of luck to them--I've considered trying to do a full port to a language like Go or Rust, but I've never quite had the time (or self-hatred to try and handle quite so many corner cases as what I've seen in vim&

This isn't actually surprising, to me. I'm indirectly with BBVA through SmartyPig, which is pretty in line with Simple as well. Good deal to the Simple team, I hope this works out for everyone involved well.

Because they're binary files, used entirely for archival purposes. They shouldn't be changing, they shouldn't have "versions" that are anything to deal with meaningfully as far as your repository is concerned. They

Why are your binary builds living in version control?

I'm sorry, I might just be misunderstanding so please correct me if I'm wrong but... The main vulnerability he talks about is if a major provider were to be hacked and have their file replaced (or go rogue, entirely). In either ca

These just keep getting better and better with every release. Vim keybinds might finally be my Firebug switch.

Ah, no, you're correct! I had originally misremembered the statement (going with G4 and laptop), and forgot to change the word laptop to desktop when I switched it to the G5. That was totally my bad.

That reminds me of the joke about the A7 in the iPhone being faster than the old PowerPC cores in the G5s, which wasn't the first time that a phone's processor beat an older laptop's, but the first time that the comparison wa

What an incredibly strange trend that I keep seeing lately of externally using sprint numbers as version numbers. Actually labeling them as Sprint numbers prominently, I mean, instead of just v35 or v.35 or something.

Awesome was my introduction to tiling WMs, then I went to xmonad for years, and I recently moved over to dwm as I realized suckless had taken over the rest of my machine so why not.

The notation just happens to give a good shorthand when discussing bits of code, as it tends to be rather fast to calculate.

We do, in fact, use tabs at work. But I wanted to attempt to avoid starting this war yet again.

I don't like their indent guidelines, 2 spaces just feels incredibly "cramped" to me with Java. I understand it with an 80 or 100 col line limit (I also tend to 120, but 100's okay), but really, that's the only thin

It's certainly useful when you find that someone accidentally made something n^5 instead of n and you need to explain to that person why they were very, very wrong.

Upstart also has the issue of being non-portable as of right now, so either way a porting effort has to be actually undertaken (even if Upstart is saying that it's planned)--And Debian is adopting large amounts of systemd for other sys

Russ's points are an incredibly well thought out and written discussion of systemd vs upstart and worth reading for anyone who needs background on the two.

I actually never bring my lunch to work, entirely for this reason. We don't have a cafeteria, and if I don't force myself to step away from my desk for an hour I'm never going to.

I'm actually impressed. I've got an eternal skepticism of basically every "Fix Windows 8" thing that I've ever seen, but yours is pretty much the first that doesn't boil down to "re-release Windows XP&quot

The other difference between most people's first attempts with Vista and 7 is that by the time of 7's release, even Nvidia had cleaned up their driver situation (and Creative, the other main offender, seemed to basically vanish as

Seconding the "you want a GREEN light to start." When you're dealing with legacy, untested code like this, you're sometimes going to write a test that by all accounts should be RED, but it'll come up GREEN. And the
