Even today many people believe that all the banks should have been allowed to fail.

Easy to see how people in 2008 could decide to let one bank fail. Many felt that 'bailout capitalism' was a bad idea in the first place, and that the system should just learn to absorb the shock. Only a small minority had any idea what was coming. People at the top "should have known", but the history of finance has no shortage of examples where foolish economic beliefs overrides common sense.
It seems like running in a VM is a much more attractive option than dual booting these days. The performance hit is negligible (especially with 16GB RAM), you can use both OSes at the same time, and you can use all the native Windows touch/pen drivers and have them carry over to the VM.
I think nothing. The main benefit would be that you don't need to maintain Graphite and Nagios, you can just set your rules and trust Cloudwatch to work.
That's the definition of hybrid :-)

Academic definitions aside, there hybrids have to choose a very serious compromise due to the balance:

if you make the base light (surface pro case), you won't really have a laptop, instead a tablet which sits on your legs.

if you make the base heavy, you're making a relatively heavy laptop.

now, there is of course a spectrum of choice, but practically speaking, even they make a very light tablet part (say, 850 grams), with a "heavy base", you will add 550 grams at least (550 being an odd balance).

I'm absolutely happy to have a 1.4 kg hybrid, but it's not going to compete with the upcoming wave of ultrabooks (note that I'm somewhat skeptical it will be 1.4kg, I bet it will be a little more).
This right here. I'm almost afraid it might be too late for them, but Microsoft has been doing it right time and time again with their hardware, and now with their OS (at least after 8.1). I've been a Windows user since 3.11, but I'm always on the verge of switching over to OSX as my main dev/personal machine... Windows 10 & the Surface Pro have been able to at least delay this switch this time around.

Microsoft is the one that is closest to what I think the future should be: only one device you dock and use.

Not sure I'd want a Windows phone either (I'm currently on Android) but I might rethink that in the future as well.

Decompose that WAR? A pattern language for microservices
Don't worry, you won't be offered a position for a job you aren't capable of doing.
Yeah, and if I'm adding WAF to my application, I'd want it to be something I can run on a developer's laptop for fast iteration cycles -- Vagrant up, change WAF rules, run the integration suite. If the WAF is up in the cloud, I guess I have to wait until staging the code to see if something legitimate gets snared by the WAF?
Out of curiosity, do you use vagrant for everything?

I used Windows a little while ago, and I couldn't do any work without firing up a VM. I missed my environment, but if I did everything in a virtual machine, I could accomplish what I needed.

Eventually I gave up. I was actually doing my development in linux and windows was just acting as a VM host. It's almost comical that I ever said I did development in Windows.
Could you explain the mechanics of that? How does beginning a many-months long foreclosure process help GE's 2 day cash flow, or somehow pass costs on to everyday people?
There may be. WordPress is not ironclad and Reddit is a big target.

At the very least, there's value in whitelisting IP access to the wp-admin login.
Came here to say the same thing about load time - I'm on a fast connection using Chrome and this thing will hardly load for me. I thought it was my ad blocker at first, but nope, just the site. Also tested it with Firefox and Safari and got the same thing.

EDIT: someone below said the CDN might be on the fritz, so that likely has something to do with this. it may be fixed by the time some people see these comments.
For people who uses tablets like the surface exclusively, does your neck get sore? It doesn't look comfortable working like that
The other benefit of a microservice is you can understand it. You can have the entire thing in your head. It's easier to maintain. With a monolith, good luck.
You ask the same question here since years. Maybe web development is not the right thing for you...
No, it's not fixable with the hardware they are using.
History repeats itself. In the '80s, it was going from glass TTY to GUI, but both parties played the same strategy.

It honestly feels a lot like all the kids in the neighborhood just got new mountain bikes and you're still using a scooter. You can usually keep up, but as soon as they go off the road, you're on your own.

VMs are 100% the way to go, but I am consistently frustrated by incompatibility, especially with the nodejs ecosystem. Windows users are a huge minority so tools are rarely built with a non *Nix environment in mind.

[How To] Weaponize Your Cat to HACK Neighbours’ WiFi Password
I think your position is extremely defensible. I'd suggest that we should be sending many robots to Mars in order to bootstrap an economy of sorts. Things like food production, shelter etc could all be done by robots before the first human arrives. The first humans could arrive to crops ready to harvest, fully constructed compounds/shelters. IMO we should be sending robots and supplies now (just as big of payloads of fuel, tools, robots, food) as we can. Later we send people who can continue to build w/ what was previously sent.

Sadly its not a popular exercise to say "We're spending billions to send a bunch of solar panels to mars, though no one will use them for decades..."
Sure thing. You'll see from the content on Upvoted.com that the OP is usually just the start of the story and we're following up to learn more. e.g., Omari Nyaega

202M+ people can surface his story and raise a ton of money, but our team of reporters has a much easier time following up to close the loop.

We're working on anti-brigading tools. That's on us to get right, because a lot of "brigading" is AKA "how social media works."

It's long been a very fuzzy definition, which is on us (e.g., how is it OK for a celeb to tweet to his followers about an AMA -- it's both "brigading" and "required for verification") and there's a more obvious and negative brigading we can thwart better with technology so that mods have the ability to throttle when, say, one community wants to all pile into a thread and sway it.
Or they're just misleading about how they measure the battery life. We used to have "8h of battery life" 10 years ago, when in fact they lasted 3h. Apple has done this, too, more and more lately unfortunately. Their "12h" battery life is more like 8h for moderate usage.

No. I do a lot of stuff in CMDer. I only use vagrant for testing deployments.

Most of the apps I use are cross platform GUI apps like Sublime, Evernote, SourceTree, etc.
I'd rather have a trackpad than not have a trackpad. Sometimes using touch doesn't work that well.

In my experience, having to reach and touch the screen to get my cursor on a textbox is annoying. I'd rather us a swipe of my thumb to position the cursor.

Different strokes for different folks. I'm glad the trackpad is still here.
I've not done any Lua but my oldest son has and he showed me. It really did not stand-out in my mind compared to say python. I guess it's pretty simple, embeddable, interoperable with C. It really was a great first language for him really but so would have js really.

Tcl is pretty neat though. It has this feel like lisp and very simple rules plus everything can be a string, which is prefect for gluing text output together between tools.

Introducing JIRA Software: the #1 software development tool used by agile teams
I toyed around with a similar setup recently (but I'm not actually doing any Linux development) to try out Nuclide, Facebook's big addon for Atom.

Basically you run a server in your Linux VM that Atom/Nuclide (running in Windows) connects to, and it lets you edit files in the VM as if your project folder were local. For those who like a GUI, I think it's worth looking at to save yourself the hassle of VirtualBox guest tools, etc. that never seem to work reliably. And frankly, I've never been particularly happy with the performance of a virtualized Linux GUI, though most of that blame goes to Ubuntu and its apparently impossible to get rid of (in some locations) fading animations.

Anyway, neat tool, worth checking out. You set up a VM to match whatever you'll be deploying to and then work on files in the VM from an editor in Windows. When it works smoothly it's really cool.
Looks like JIRA & JIRA Agile have merged into JIRA Software.

It's more about muscle memory and not having to retrain your brain.

After using Mac for such a long time, it's nice to not have to recondition yourself to having to use backslashes or using commands like `dir` instead of `ls`.
Using VMWare Workstation fullscreen in Windows 10 is great, since Microsoft finally added virtual desktops. Just put the cursor on the toolbar at the top of the screen (to send keyboard input to the host) and press Ctrl+Win+Left/Right to quickly switch between VMs or host desktop.
Any community that cannot survive being questioned is automatically suspect to me. I have trouble understanding why responding to questions with censorship could ever be appropriate.

If you're weary of answering the same questions over and over, you can make a FAQ. I've made plenty of those myself. But if your community has questions that have to remain unasked that you're hiding from, I have to believe that's a problem with your group, not with the questioner.

So I have to disagree: I would prefer to be up front and answer questions, rather than hide from them by banning people.
"the Redditor mentality"

I don't think this actually exists.

There are 'meme-storms' -- Libertarianism, getting riled up about finding some 'criminal' them getting riled up about the people getting riled up, and the anti-censorship crusades, etc but I think attributing these things to the hivemind is a mental shortcut that's found way too much purchase.

Eugenics is most likely a terrible idea. But then again, so probably is the treadmill kids are put on when their parents have the means to do that.

Can confirm, resizing fixed it. Can't imagine why they did that.
I wonder if all the Windows drivers were written by hardware manufacturers or Microsoft?
What Microsoft has done today is prove they're very focused about providing a top of the line personal computing experience. You can argue about server, but when it comes to applications (which are floating windows), Microsoft Windows has proven they can keep that title for their operating system.

I'm glad to see them take ownership over the hardware. That has always been the black mark. I build my own PCs and always bought ThinkPad to keep the good experience. Now, Microsoft can help others who don't or can't do that.
U.S. residents, including temporary residents, are considered "U.S. persons" by the IRS and have to report everything. Amusingly this also applies to holders of U.S. Green Cards who aren't actually resident in the U.S.

Canadians working in the U.S. have had fun with IRS because a type of Canadian registered (tax-advantaged) savings account is not recognized by the IRS as a registered savings account but rather a "passive foreign investment company" and IRS loves to make people fill out lots of paperwork. This is apparently because IRS rules haven't been updated in the 10 years since the account type has been created.
I don't know about that, I think you should give the tablet mode a try before you speculate about what it can and can't do.

I use my SP2 a lot with the Pen and OneNote, which provides automatically digitized handwriting that is viewable and searchable from any computer. It's a pretty killer app but I would probably still be using pen and paper notebooks before someone integrated a screen and highly accurate pen in one device.

You may find some uses for the tablet that you never imagined before.
Looks like a great machine, but almost certainly won't run a non-virtualised Linux distro very well (if the old Surface lineup is anything to go by). A shame for devs, but I suppose they want people to use the MS env/toolchains.
Your original point is completely independent of who might have said it before you did. I was therefore not making a comment about that point. Rather, I was cautioning you that in my experience your citation source is often incorrect.

Your original point is also simply untrue. The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest is perhaps the most famous case where those defeated - the Romans - are also the ones who wrote the history. They fully acknowledged that they were thoroughly defeated. We have no German account of their victory.

You seem to suggest a parallelism between my observation (that quotes are often re-attributed to a more famous name, even when there is no record of them having said it) and the meaning behind the aphorisms you repeated. I believe that is similar to Orwell's point, yes, though we do have other methods, including archaeology, to help establish the history. However, Orwell's point is more a deliberate decision, like the falsification of history practiced by the Soviet Union. Comparing that to lazy scholarship is rather trite, don't you think?

I don't understand your question "Why?". Why do people prefer to cite famous people instead of leaving it "anonymous" or "unknown"? I don't know. Why do you personally want to distort history? Again, I can't answer that question. Does it make you feel like you are more of a victor? Do I get to defeat you by changing your words?

My deliberately snippy remarks now are really rather trite compared to, say, moving Trotsky from Soviet photograph. I don't really think it makes sense to compare the two.

Your Startup’s API Could Be Its Disruptor
As far as my limited understanding goes, MS-CHAP v2 allows you to store a hash of your password on the server rather than storing the actual password. Then through a convoluted sequence of hashing algorithms it generates another hash and compares that with a hash you have provided. I think it's been around since at least 2003 and though it has itself been cracked (cf Moxie Marlinspike) I don't believe it's ever expected to be used outside of an encrypted tunnel (cf Matthew Gast).
Since v3.2.0 this is no longer done by default and can be enabled via the config object. The website should probably be updated to reflect this.

I can understand rationale for saving AIG but no one has come up with a plausible reason why GS got paid 100 cents on the dollar on CDS.
Microsoft isn't bending anything. Windows 10 has two distinct APIs for different types of program. The old Win32 API handles traditional desktop software and the separate Windows Runtime is used for sandboxed apps that can be installed and updated from the Windows Store.

If you're writing for Windows Runtime, you are as fully touch-enabled as you are with an iPad, and the apps run in a similar way.

The complaints about Windows 8 were that the two environments were disparate. Windows 10 does a reasonable job of integrating Runtime apps for desktop users (eg scaleable windows and mouse control options). It could do with further improvements, but it's still being developed.

If you're, say, a photographer, you can use full-strength Photoshop, Lightroom etc on Windows 10 then switch to an iPad-style app for viewing or showing stuff to other people. It's actually very convenient.
