An hostile workplace is one firing an employee for the mere act of sharing an opinion. As the memo was not directly addressed to any female and did not insult them it is clearly not harassment. Questioning the hiring policy is not like atta

Personal anecdotes here. I never occurred to me that people who could program couldn't do some sysadmin stuff to some extends until I work a small contract in a company. A day I was to demoing something there was a problem, so I fired

Could works for people with an MSDN subscription. However Microsoft is doing everything it can not to let the general public use the LTSB. Which is a shame as I see this version as the more consumer friendly and Win 7 like.

Totally agree. My computers are my things and should be under my control only. That’s why I’m wary of Win 10 which forces system replacement, install softwares without consent, display advertisements, can preload UWP apps in memory, etc. Al

I read somewhere about an EU regulations coming which would force platforms to provide a way for their users to get their data back. Reimplementing the XML export would be a good way to (partially) comply ahead of time.

Sadly this is a direction Microsoft is taking with the rumored upcoming "S Mode". If this works for them (and I hope it don’t) even PC will be locked down and no more useful than a tablet. Some decision makers are forgetting hardw

I already switched years ago to Mac. Even Apple didn’t make such a bold/foolish move as forbidding 3rd party app to run. If Windows takes this road no problem for me, erasing my bootcamp partition* and installing Win 7/8.1 would t

I watched it yesterday and the part about the video tape is unbelievable. How can a record like that be approved so quickly when it contains obvious flaws? Also not letting Steve watch it was a disgusting move. Anyway the movie was really i

No I didn’t. It took a screenshot so I’ll do that some day.

No I didn’t. I used Classic Shell in some test VM and it did the job well but as petepete said it it should be a builtin feature.

Yeah Windows 10 Start Menu is awful in part because of that. It’s like after the Windows 8 debacle Microsoft is telling us: "oh you like this Menu that much? Ok, here is your menu..." and give us one so bad no one dare to use it a

Thanks for the explanation. It’s good to see that Microsoft finally decided to port .net native to other platforms than uwp.

They are not competing against Google, they live mainly from their funding. With the rise a Chrome and the fall of Firefox, I wounder why Google is still giving them money. Maybe the PR loss from pulling the plug would still be too big?

This is the exact reason I won’t learn Rust past looking quickly the doc: the promotion made by some very vocal people is a huge turn off. Notably by saying that everything must be rewritten in Rust, it implies that every other language is

That's a very sad & true fact. I had a family dinner at a one Michelin star restaurant, and while everything was really good, I have a hard time recognising what I ate as a meal because of the quantity. The basic point of a meal is

Yes, as a non native speaker this terminology is really annoying. This is funny 2 seconds but should be an easter egg, not part of the real documentation or tool. That’s one more reason for me to stick with MacPorts.

Yeah, this isn't "obvious" at all. North Korea is not at war with Japan. What could it even gain from it anyway? Just war for the sake of war and have their country destroyed and their government overthrown? This doesn't
