   I'm coming from a classic ASP background as well, and jumped straight to MVC (skipping Web Form entirely). Only later when I did some WPF project, when Web Forms made some sense. I think the whole toolset is basically trying to lure &#

   Yup, just got the 500GB Samsung 840 EVO to run my development VMs on it. It's TLC, so a bit slower and it won't last as long, but for almost 30% cheaper it's good value.

   Following up on the Medium article[1], as there seemed to be a bit of interest on these autonomous trucks. [1] - https://medium.com/war-is-boring/bed4b2b5a70a

   The difference is, they're now spying on everyone. I struggle to find a credible justification for that.

   What the GP comment meant that the robots won't deviate from the parameters. Contrast this with a human operator, who are instructed to drive at specific speeds at each road section. Perhaps due to fatigue , overconfidence (e.g. I drov

   'Vehicle and driving' are actually one of the major risks in mine operations, for the reason you just described. Fatigue, overconfidence, complacency, or simply momentary lapse in focus can lead to dire consequences. There are con

   Finding qualified people to drive these trucks are actually quite hard. There's a lot of misconception that you can apply for these jobs and start making $150k+ immediately (and somewhat the media helped fuel that perception). The ap

    Thin clients for VDI for one, and the trend does seem to go that way. With current generation hardware, a good 1U server can support 50 - 100 desktop simultaneously.

    16GB - the maximum supported on my current hardware. Ideally I'd like 32GB. I develop SharePoint solutions on a two-VM configuration locally (DC - 1GB, and app server - 8GB), both off a second drive (SSD). RAM utilisation are always ~9

    But it is a double standard. The RRP is up to %50 higher, but at the same time there are restriction on parallel importation that price cuts the RRP.

    Same here, I hope there will be a spill-on effect on Mono. I was particularly pleased when MonoDevelop 4.0 got the new Xamarin Studio UI. A bit vain, I know.

    What's specifically your objection? I am happy to pay for the license for a guarantee of continuing (and timely) updates. Plus, looking at their target market, I don't think free, open source model would be as effective. Disclaime

    I agree, ignore the Modern UI stuff and it is a better, faster Windows 7. If you don't mind parting with $10, I recommend purchasing the Start8 and ModernMix from Stardock. Boots straight to desktop, gets the old start menu back, and r

    You can't do it (easily). I think there are also hardware compatibilities to watch out and the effort (of setting it up and maintaining the 'hackintosh') just isn't worth it. [Edited for typo]

    I completely agree. I picked BitBucket initially because Mercurial was better supported in Windows. I was even happier when they ported SourceTree to Windows. All I need now is the Mercurial support for it, so I can finally use a single cli

    We use JIRA with GreenHopper to support Agile at work. The users mostly just go to the Card / backlog views and I can say it's working pretty well. Not as smooth as Trello, but still good :)

    They're in Perth? I didn't know that. In addition to the tyranny of distance, what's working against startups here is the high cost of living.

    I've actually just started doing this as well, so I can relate. Rather than focusing on offering the cheapest rate, make sure that your proposal is rock solid. Be picky in the jobs you choose, but once you decide to put your bid in, invest
