Who owns the company that produces the HGST 3.5" drives? (the former Hitachi drives) Is it Western Digital? Is it Toshiba? someone else? (afaik the HGST 2.5 and 3.5 production lines were sold to different companies -right?)

.NET core is a complete rewrite with incompatible API, it has little to do with the old .NET legacy framework. That's MSFT, one days hip API is tomorrows legacy cruft, you better stay on the edge or choose a stable non-MSFT open source

I get there are people who want to see more of the same. Do you like stretched stories over many episodes? I don't, I want movies, 90-120min, with superior quality unseen in low budget TV series. Comparing to 1980s TV series, they had

Exactly this mass of comic super hero movies is so boring. And reboot after reboot with broken confusing story-line, with the reboot worse than the original. No wonder when idiots like the woman who was in charge at Sony Movie Pictures run

Hollywood, as we know it is dead for 10+ years. The mass of super hero movies is appalling. Where are the action movies and funny comedies, that were so great in the late 1980s, 1990s and earlier 2000s. Last year's San Andreas was pret

> 1980s (based on the age of the pictures) What? The pictures are clearly older, from 1950-1960s(maybe early 1970s) timeframe. Certainly not 1980s. Look at the cars, the fashion clothes.

I mean FTP mirrors, that offer an 1:1 FTP directory mirror.

Read the whole paragraph, the 1998 was about mounting public NFS share. Now they want to discontinue FTP. Two different things.

IMHO stupid decision. There are many mirrors, that will be affect. FTP has it's place.

New Relic and AppDynamics are quite similar and best in class. AppDynamics offers not only a cloud version but also on-premise installation. AppDynamics still uses Flash in parts of the UI, and the UI is more old-school but shows more data

Exactly. For language devs. It's always good to learn from mistakes from the past. PHP 6 failed, then PHP stayed with 5.x and moved directly from v5 to v7 - that worked out fine. The Python 2 to 3 is an important lesson as well. Ruby (
