The interesting thing is trying to work out what this does or how to use it.

Yes at least some of the people. Their instructions for getting a new SQL 2017 Docker image (somewhere not sure if it was the official documentation or Microsoft hosted blogs that should know better) included apt get update on the Linux con

They managed to integrate it into paid products like SQL Server and then also sell their own machine learning server as well. I don’t feel it’s a success. I feel they make money off the backs of people who wrote it to be free. I guess it st

The latter is how I understood it.

W3C was always going to do this. Nothing called a “consortium” will ever have the general populace’s best interests in mind. And there’s no opposing force that could leverage a penalty of any merit. So they can just do what they like and wi

I liked the MASM 6 macros for some reason. It was blasphemy to others at the time though.

Yes. You've hit the nail on the head. They'll have such a tight bureaucracy on patching that it's impossible (which is an IT problem in their eyes) but the second a senior manager says just do it - its quick and painless. I s

I know people who work with trains. They have truly awesome mechanical systems but cobbled together to IT systems they weren't qualified to program and as awful as you'd imagine and more - undocumented and unpatched. On the other

Those "don't touch" systems are death. It's usually in contracts with the big players like Honeywell and others. You literally can't touch them without breaking the contract. The second you call for support and they

Patching at an OS level (not what the author is talking about, probably) is extremely extremely hard - from an enterprise Microsoft platform production point of view 1) Because there's no budget for tools. It's mostly WSUS and SCC

I've written hundreds of thousands of lines of PowerShell. I love it.

Yes! Thank you! This crap has been driving me crazy lately and I'm so glad I'm not the only one.

I would like this to be on Audible, but it seems neither of their books are.

This article really bothered me. "An important decision had been made on behalf of the team." Their solution to that was to make everything in the company revolve around the manager. After feeling personally hurt that they weren&#

They can be forced by the nation they are in to work against other nations - something I feel like the US pioneered and continues to push. It isn't nice but it does have a beautiful feeling of karma to it.

It isn't. Not from the perspective being given. This isn't about "can a company cripple the government", its about "can a FOREIGN company cripple the government". So the US is safe with MS at the helm and Russi

Thanks. I agree. Despite all the rhetoric, "hacking" the election has specific connotations and none have been proven. Russia might have aided in smearing another unfit candidate in the court of public opinion - and that's so

It really needs a TL;DR because it's all buried in so much fluff I didn't understand why. (I understand the rest of you all really enjoy that and wouldn't call it fluff but I'm not an audio engineer).

For me probably: Because I avoid meetings that exist solely to stroke manager egos. If it's not related to what I'm doing I don't go no matter how mandatory it is. Because I avoid war rooms (getting people from every team int

I agree. Professional bodies become expensive self sustaining beauracracy machines run by the very same highly paid idiots Ellen had to work with. Look at the Australian Computer Society. You pay hundreds per year and have to jump through t

It depends on the cubicle. Having a partial back wall, and being able to personalise it, are all better than open plans. The taller the walls the more it's like a mini office.

What gets me is - I don't think Daily Stormer was even important, was it? I mean it's not like this is a giant propaganda machine with millions of visits a day run by Hitler. It seems to me to be pretty much a pissant little blog.

It's a bit odd you can make a knife or gun and sell it but if you sell malware that's illegal.

Not the OP but Feeling Good states that people responded to CBT as good or better than drugs, though, both at once were more effective again. They could also be thinking of Anatomy of an Epidemic where long term results of people on drugs a

The article says the CEO is always thinking about work and so should staff. So ummm how much is the CEO paid vs those workers? Give me 7 figures and I will gladly "always think a lot about work" for a year or two.

I think you'd be surprised at what goes into running a dealership. The software is complex with a lot of dependencies. You have a full parts/warehouse inventory system and invoicing internally and to other mechanics. A service sys

I worked with it for 7 years and the software ran car dealerships. That codebase is 40 years old now and still had remnants from the 70s where it had been originally built for the VAX. Migrating it to a new architecture would not be trivial

DropBox support is fucking garbage. They have an issue where it works fine but they log an "informational" error in the event log every second. It's been well reported on the net. Not fixed. I logged my own support case with
