They are doing something very bad with Win10 - the private data is at risk. I know about their history, and they haven't changed. They still have a monopoly on desktop/notebook. They just lost the mobile sector to Apple and Google

That's their usual EEE tactics. After hey got caught, they renamed their efforts (C# v1), refactored the code. Don't waste your time with dotNetCore v1 or legacy dotNetFramework, use Java/PHP/Node/Go/Python&#x2

Wake me up when it's ready. For two decades we hear announcements that Quantum Computers are almost ready. Yet beside bluffs and prototypes that require superconductor with very cold -230° C to do little, none of them resurfaced later.

So all books about Docker are now outdated. What will happen with hub.docker.com? Is store.docker.com the replacement? Or will both coexist? Which one will be hosted on mobyproject.org ?

We need less terrible ads. Let's go back to static picture-based banner ads. The picture-link tracks the ad-clicks, simply, reliable and non bloated third party JS needed. So where are the ad networks that offer such ad-type?
