It's annoying to have to use a dongle, I guess (I choose to write code on my laptop's screen only), but plenty of people in the office just have a dock or dongle to connect to their monitors, just like everyone else who is plugging into HDMI and/or docking.
Several current and former employees of Tesla said that the automaker is manufacturing a surprisingly high ratio of lawed parts and vehicles, leading to more rework and repairs than can be contained at its factory in Fremont, California.
That's ok, Slashdot has had plenty of time to work out all of its kinks in the supply chain for their product and, yet, we still see a surprisingly high ratio of flawed spelling.
Those tools were long available in w32/64 versions; I've been using them for at least 15 years when on Windows.
No, this isn't just adding UNIX tools to the CLI; it's doing what the other major OS players have been doing forever: having a common command line which can do a lot more cross-system work that PowerShell couldn't keep up with.
Who cares if it's Microsoft? You know you have to deal with their shit now and again; be glad it'll soon be iin a way you're more comfortable doing.
That's your prerogative, to be certain, but why? You prefer to have to click through a bunch of icons and/or menus to get to a search functionality option somewhere in your UI? Do you just memorize the location of everything?
Me? I have 0 icons on my desktop and only a handful on my hidden taskbar and I use the MacOS search to launch just about everything else.
It's fast and easy; like tab-complete on the CLI. Just seems like a no-brainer. To each their own.
The researchers calculated that just storing information about a couple of hundred electrons would require a computer memory that would physically require more atoms than exist in the universe.
If the simulation exists, which is likely doesn't as this is nothing more than modern Genesis religion, why would the storage be bounded by the simulation and not external to it?
In this case, the individual was saying they were a Sr Analyst on their LI profile and a Manager on their resume (this sort of level shifting was present across their entire job history).
I find the disparity due to the public nature of LI forcing people to be more truthful than they would be on their resume.
1. Aside from direct contacts from headhunters I have a previous relationship with, the best recruiters who come into contact with me do so via LinkedIn.
2. The beginning process for me to land my current job happened entirely on LinkedIn.
3. I use LinkedIn to vet resumes of candidates continuously. In fact, one candidate was over-inflating his position history on their resume while their public LinkedIn profile was not mirroring the same titles and experience for the same timeframes. Why would your public-facing titles be less glamorous than your resume?
4. I abhor applying for jobs unless I can do it with only a few clicks via my LI profile. I see absolutely no reason to waste my time going through pointless formalities of hand entering a bunch of demographic and job information at this point in my career and I cannot imagine many others wouldn't feel the same way.
We have O365 and Skype here at work and we prefer Slack to S4B in every way. In fact, we're evaluating other options for conferencing because S4B sucks when trying to operate with those who are not using S4B externally.
I fully understand why Microsoft is trying to go down this route, as evidenced by our lack of faith in their offerings; however, I am not certain it's going to do much to help them "win", especially when people are already paying for their O365 subscriptions and having to double up and use other software on top of it.
I have been running Linux in some full-time capacity for 18+ years and in some capacity for 21+ years and my daily desktop use is on a Mac at work. Why? Because I need to fully and seamlessly integrate with my coworkers without any issues at all.
This means I need fully supported Office (via installed 365), ability to share my screen in our office through the office's system, and any number of other things which make Linux less than ideal; much the same way it was when I was in both undergrad and graduate programs requiring the same sort of deal. That said, we do all of our server stuff in Linux, we do our development on Linux, and we trust it for any number of tasks which we find it well-suited.
Just because I choose to use a Mac doesn't mean I don't fully support Linux, it's just that I value my ability to operate w/my coworkers more than the time I would need to invest in ensuring I can.
I used to author a local blog which concentrated on hyper local politics and restaurant reviews. People would comment all the time but those who were actually humans but astroturfing were obvious.
I built a simplistic model which immediately flagged any comment as astroturfing simply by counting the number of exclamation points (>1 per 50 words) and their recency of comment history.
After simply searching Facebook for their email address, I was usually able to determine their relationship to the restaurant immediately (owner or family of owner was most prevalent) and make fun of them publicly.
It wouldn't be any harder to build a simplistic model to determine the same things here; it's just few do.
My insurance contribution is only one part of the equation; I wasn't even talking about that part of it. I was referring to total cost of insurance (i.e. the copays, the coverage, the deductibles, etc).
I currently pay less than 1.5% of my annual salary to insurance premiums but my son broke his hand the other day and I don't want to pay out the ass for the X-rays, medications, and followup visits.
I make a 6 figure salary; it's hard to find jobs which pay more out in total compensation than I make today. That said, paying me more base salary/bonus, at this point in my career, is not even close to important.
What is important, you ask?
1. Flexibility 2. Vacation 3. Insurance cost 4. Opportunity 5. Freedom to operate 6. Interesting work
There are others, but you get the general idea. That said, I had a job interview elsewhere, recently, where the recruiter reached out to me and basically begged me to come into speak with them. The position has been open for 11 months and they cannot find anyone. Yeah, the pay is lower than I make today and the insurance is 2x the cost, but the real problem was that it was an institution where there was no flexibility or freedom to operate. They wanted something done to solve their problems but had a very narrow allowed view on how that could occur.
Just like others who likely passed before me, it was probably due to the environment, not the pay. At some point, money stops being a motivator.
Last year I got two 64GB iPhoneSEs for "free" (with contract extension which I wouldn't plan on getting rid of anyway) on Black Friday last year.
I haven't paid, other than with contract extensions, for any iPhone since I started getting them back on the iPhone3G. I mean, yeah, it's not the latest and greatest but it works just fine and I still get upgrades.
In 2012, I was hired at a company which did on-shoring, mainly COBOL and RPG programming for healthcare and insurance companies still running on AS400. They were trying to expand into a new vertical, SAS programming for analytics firms, which I was hired to lead.
After being acquired by a large multinational which was mainly doing offshoring, it took less than 2.5 years to kill the onshoring and continue on their merry way with the traditional offshore work.
Yes, onshoring is a great idea and needs to be sold more often, it's just going to be difficult with the offshoring companies buying them up and shutting them down.
Our members, however, I think are very aggressive in how they are trying to provide consumers that they serve with more choice through on-demand [channels], through availability of over-the-top services, making sure that their broadband plan is fast enough to support a consumer's video habits.
As someone with 100/60 service at home (via cable) and 1.3/384k at my lake home, both with no data caps, I can offer up the tidbit that speed is far less important than the extra revenue stream cable providers are attempting to get through bandwidth capping.
Netflix works just fine at 1.3/384k (Amazon less so) but I certainly don't need to have 100/60 service just to watch VOD while knowing I may hit my cap if I decide to download 5 or 6 concert torrents on top of my regular usage levels.
Let's dispel with the notion that cable companies know anything about what their customers want and understand all they care about is profit for their shareholders. We don't necessary need faster, we just need truly limitless, like it always has been.
It's an arbitrary: "get your work done," scenario. I will work 40 straight hours if needed to meet an emergency deadline and because I provide that flexibility, my workplace does as well.
I told my entire team to take this past Friday off to make a 4 day holiday weekend. Why? Because there is going to be some future time when I will need them to work on a weekend or a holiday and I'm happy to make the trade off when I can.
I have never been denied a vacation nor have I denied a vacation. I am not doing my job as a leader if we haven't built systems and code which are automated and functioning at a level which can he minimally manned during vacations.
15 years ago, I moved 700 miles from where I was living to the area I am at now because of better job opportunity. Since then I've increased my salary over 700% and the quality of workplaces has grown with each move.
It has plenty of links to other studies and important data points like this particular one which counters the premise of most of the comments I've seen thus far:
If you take 11 or more of your vacation days, you are more than 30% more likely to receive a raise. After reading that stat, we hope you just started planning your next vacation.
I don't consider myself 'lucky'. I've worked in places like that (unionized environments were incredibly dramatic) and I made professional moves to place myself in organizations which meet my personal values.

This is a driver problem, not a hardware design and implementation issue as that was.
Wait. What do you mean by "no choice"?

I'm not sure I believe anything any of them say but it certain does provide a different view of it than the article portrays.
From the blurb; emphasis mine:

There's plenty of great paying jobs in Minneapolis (Midwest). My team's median is 90K.
Last year I got two 64GB iPhoneSEs for "free" (with contract extension which I wouldn't plan on getting rid of anyway) on Black Friday last year.

Until generational memory is erased and we end up with another group of people who haven't seen the destructive effects of these diseases firsthand.
