You can still install Unity on bionic, it isn't terrible. For me, one of the very few desktops that has a usable vertical tool bar for dual widescreen monitors.
This is in regards to their Multifunction Enterprise copiers (Futuresmart 4). They run embedded linux, export a SOAP sdk for remote coding, embedded applications and authentication.
Yes and no, I agree you can do clean, lean good code in C++, but its when you try to avoid reinventing the wheel by pulling in 3rd party libraries that it all goes wrong. Or even the std ones for that matter - the string template library is a classic example, a monster of templates and polymorphism gone insane. If I have to pull out the docs to remember how to convert a string to lowercase, there's a problem.
Thanks for all the helpful suggestions, and yah I really have to just suck it up and do it, there will be no future better time or methodology. Tricky bit is deciding on a less evil provider that will stay that way, or finding a decent self hosting option that doesn't require my own inhouse servers. A pity that email addresses can't be portable between providers the way phone numbers are.
Side note: Interesting that the AC's are helpful and positive, while the only asshole is a named account.
Switched to DuckDuckGo and Bing (its actually not bad for technical searches).
I just don't know what to do with my gmail address, its my real name and how I'm contacted by people important to me, a vast history of important emails and the login or recovery email for a large number of services. Dumping it is not really an option.
Can't stand iOS so sticking with my 950XL till grim death. Hoping some of the crowd funded non android phones bear fruit.
Funny, I "upgraded" a toasted kubuntu install yesterday to Min 18.3 (Cinnamon). Looked nice and slick at first. But the taskbar is a PITA in vertical mode, no pinned apps on taskbar, fullscreen rdp on one monitor killed the desktop on the other monitor. Apps open at random location and I just don't have the time to yet again tweak the crap out of it.
All on bog std hardware. The neighbouring Win 10 pro machine with the same hardware has no issues at all.
Linux has always been crap with multiple monitors and usable desktops. Ironically we use the desktops to remote onto VM's running on a Linux cluster.
My Lumia 640 packed it in recently so I tried Android (ZTE 7 Plus, Marshmallow). Dear dog, I hated it so much - didn't give a shit about the apps, and the UI experience was so bad. Found a 950 XL in excellent shape on Gumtree, awesome phone and a pleasure to use. Calls, texts, messaging, email, browsing all work perfectly.
Hell yeah, I recently had problems with keepalived starting before OVS network interfaces were ready. It was trivally easy to lookup systemd docs and examples to add a service timer that delayed it, that would survive apt updates.
Yah that was my first thought to. Problem with KDE was the complete fuckup the devs made of explaining and implementing it. I suspect even most of the devs had no idea what they were meant to be. I really tried with activities, but as with most cool KDE features it was never fully implemented, what was implemented was half assed, buggy, undocumented and eventually abandoned.
I have more faith in MS actually making something out of this, from the demo they already seem to have it clearly defined and usable. I just hope it will include non-ms apps, I need to be able to use firefox and thunderbird with this.
Try pushing that change out to several thousand desktops, all running different version of linux/DE, when only some of them are online at any one time.
AD rules for managing this sort of stuff, fanbois cries aside, linux had nothing comparable.
because Samba is just "not as common as Windows architectures.
There are a *lot* of NAS devices out there running linux with default SMB shares. Updates take some time for them to be prepared - if they are at all. Even longer for them to be installed by users - if they are at all.
Worse, there are probably even more MFD's (Copy/Scan/Print/Fax) devices in every business, corporate, enterprise etc. And they almost all run embedded linux with Samba and default shares, for document storage, scans, secure print etc. And they will almost never be updated - Canon, Ricoh, Xerox, Sharp, Toshiba etc.
Natural gas hydrate consists of methane locked in water crystals that also are called flammable ice. It is an enormous untapped energy source formed under high pressure and low temperatures in permafrost or under the sea. It is regarded as a clean energy option with high energy density and huge amounts of reserves. It releases less than half the amount of carbon dioxide when burned as do oil and coal, ministry officials said.
It releases a lot less carbon than their existing coal fired plants and shit load less particulates, so a big improvement in that regard.
I guess the danger is that it could slow their move to renewables.

Good point
"So if you want certain files to always open in Notepad, for example, you're currently out of luck"
So suspect the OP has no idea what they are talking abou,t
This. Just about every multifunction business copier in existence across the major brands runs a 2.x version of linux.

But it has the advantage of being located in a civilised beautiful country, not a 3rd world shithole like the USA.

There was a classic Judge Dredd comic (2000AD) where they did exactly that :)

Ah the classic Linux fanboy. Finding bugs in the software by your desktop to work the way you need it = breaking it.

Yep, that would probably be the final step to get me off gmail.
Thanks for that.
Next question - what is "LCS Syndrome"?

And *still* getting regular updates from MS.
For massive calculation computers already isolated from external influence this is a non-issue
Theres a proof of concept exploit that allows a VM to access the host and other VM's. A classic breakout exploit.
Cloud providers will be shitting themselves over this.

Nearly a third of millennials are complete idiots.
He'll be telling us Rust is webscale next
They would have been safe! because you know, Linux!
And who cares if a windows server got infected because it was never patched - still all windows fault!
Ok, I'll bite - demonstrate this - with peer reviewed evidence please, not just "Because I say so" or "Everybody knows"
because Samba is just "not as common as Windows architectures.
