They are also for people like me and my coworkers. People who go out organizing a conference or workshop and needing a few presentation machines. People using them to run the controls of an industrial device which is usually on a desk, but sometimes it is REALLY useful to get up with the controls in your hand to set up things in detail. People who use he laptop in a lab with the pen to take notes on a lab logging program and walk around with it.
I love the Surface. And I say that as a Mac Fanboy who generally dislikes MS (but do not hate them).
Erich Roehm, who was killed in the Night of the long Knives, was a socialist with leftie tendencies, being a mamber of the Workers Party before he joined the NSDAP. He wanted the National Socialist party to actually live the socialist part of the name. Roehm had control over the militia at the time, the SA. Hitler was worried he would use his SA thugs to toss him out and live his dreams, and evidence would suggest that the idea did cross Roehm's mind.
Hitler decided to move first so out Roehm went. Since Hitler was going for the kill anyways, so did quite a few others. But the name stayed.
It's like Sun and Oracle in the day. If Sun actually made money with Java, they would still be in business and Oracle would not own it.
With Github, all the OSS Freaks whine and moan BUT THEY DO NOT WANT TO PAY. Someone, somewhere needs to pay to keep GitHub online. Otherwise, well... no more GitHub. It is not brain surgery.
It is better for MS to buy GitHub and keep it alive than for GitHub to suddenly die and disappear. I am pretty sure GitHub is not happy about the situation either.
If you do not want MS (or someone else) to buy your dear GitHub, then bloody well go and invest money into it.
Bingo. Small tech conferences are definitely good. Meet up some other technical people, often there are focused workshops about something that is definitely of interest and these events are usually not too expensive.
And often very well known techs or authors are keynote speakers. I have seen, and sometimes spoken to people like Richard Stallman, Stoyan Stepanov, Axel Rauschmeier, Peter-Paul Koch and Aaron Walters at such events. Maybe not people who will win the Turing award or manage trillion-dollar companies, but experts in their field and definitely worth listening to.
Conferences like these are also a good place to hear about new developments in their fields.
Unlike 99% of the people here I have actually seen Stallman speaking live and he is totally a Jesus-like cult figure. I never understood the pull of religion but after seeing Richard Stallman performing in the living flesh I totally get how Jesus )and probably Mohammed and the average guru) operated.

My nightmare is writing regexp un assembly.
Exactly. I use MacOS every days and spend half my life in iTerm. It is not even remotely an afterthought
This. I have a Surface Pro 4 and a MAcbook Pro. The Surface is a really, really nice laptop, but.... Windows 10 is still Windows 10.
MacOS/X is the best OS there is, period. I will not give up on it easily. This whole thing just makes me sad.
That said, the Macbooc Pro (2013 model) still without a scratch and I travel with it every day. Works fine and probably will for another few years.
Roger Moore of Moonraker fame is dead, so...

In the beginning, befoew Adolf took over the joint there was a serious Socialist component in the party. Hitler did not found of name the party.

Yes, it's use to wash your EBCDIC after you fsckd the filesystem.
The good old days when Turbo Pascals' entire IDE fit on a 360K Floppy...
Proxima Centauri is a star. A colony on that would be...warm?
I would lime to know too... i wondered the other day why we have 4 fundamental forces and not 5. I know Higgs is a scalar field, is that the reason?
Sounds like the joint I am working at.

Except they developed Android at the same time as Apple started developing iPhone and they did not really know about each other...

No, we call that "Klugscheisser"
Hurd needs to run first
Yeah but if you want to print it on a sheet you need a 0.1 pt font. And a sheet as large as your house.
You forgot 5d quantum audio support and the mine-bitcoin command
I guarantee you he is not a libtard. At all.

It was a very interesting experience.
As long as it does not stutter like in the old days with TTY terminals itâ(TM)s Ok
You know as well as I do that no iDroid costs 3 grand and no one drinks 20 dollar lattes all the time since there ainâ(TM)t no such thing
