Azure existed long before ScottGu took over. It started with dueling projects from Ray Ozzie’s world and Bob Muglia’s world. Ray had great ideas but no idea how to run something like Azure at scale. Bob brought the enterprise mindset and re

This is an incredible labor of love and historical record. The technical articles alone have a depth that goes further than the documentation for any living project that I know of. I can only imagine how much work has gone into this. He giv

Nice idea. But looks like this is unreliable, with some indeterminate cut-off point after which it stops working. I created 100 paragraphs of Lorem ipsum which I pasted into the textbox. It didn't show any error, but when I pasted the

Thank you for the compliment! We're working on improving its support for other use cases, with work to better support embedded[1], server[2], and AI[3] use cases, along with Linux[4] and Windows[5] support. We're also putting a lo

When I canceled Prime a couple of years ago, I thought our family would really miss it. In practice, we have barely noticed. I don't trust Amazon any more for electronics; the books I ordered more recently were badly packaged and often

There's an irony that this comment is posted on HackerNews, where the entire page of comments is hosted in a big <table> for layout. Not sure if this is good or bad!

Conversely, we just ordered a Tesla Model Y yesterday for delivery within a month. Today they reached out to us to see if we'd like to take one from inventory this week. I literally paid the deposit using Apple Pay with TouchID on my M

This is a lovely ode to the period in which I developed my love for computers. Although like many growing up east of the Atlantic Ocean, my computer of choice was the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Without the budget to afford to buy much in the way

These are simply adorable. I want to make this my weekend project. Does anyone have tips for this? What cardstock should I use? Is there a particular weight that is best suited for projects like this?

There is a CLA, so that folk can attest that contributions are theirs, and that they're free to be used by others, and that everyone who uses Flutter can feel comfortable that there are no patent or IP rights reserved by contributors.

It's a little dispiriting to read a screed like this, because it doesn't represent the work we're doing. I think a slightly deeper evaluation beyond a skim-read of a Register article might be worthwhile before jumping to such
