    Lots of asses in your comment. Out of respect for women, could you use "cunt" once in a while so it's clear that you're not only referring to privileged males?

  2. Up until about 8 years ago my job was to get video drivers and displays working well together

    Great, that's about the same time every smartphone manufacturer except for Apple moved on from LCD to OLED. Isn't that an amazing coincidence.

    "Apple can't compete against a broad and open market."

    Wait... isn't Apple functioning in the world economy?

    Nice try taking it out of context. You conveniently ignore the following sentence: "They always narrow the comparison to themselves and the most expensive choice" which clearly explains the statement about Apple not being able to compete against a broad market. They constantly position themselves in a magical made-up segment, like that guy who shoots the wall of a barn then goes and draw the target around his bullet holes.

    You guys are pathetic

    Luckily as computing becomes more power efficient so does mining which is performed with custom ASICs and not GPUs as some many deluded investors seem to think

    Wrong. The most power efficient mining is performed using javascript ads.

    I would think that when you're presenting as Microsoft (or Google, or Amazon...) and you're demonstrating, you must be ABSOLUTELY sure that if there is a problem, you can recover with your company's products.

    Wrong. Microsoft has a culture of not preparing meetings or demos, the idea being that you should know your shit and be able to adapt to what happens. There's been epic incidents but overall it didn't really hurt them.

    You don't seem to understand how big companies work. The guy probably got a loaner or disposable vm for the demo. This wasn't a huge demo for the international press, it's just some guy showing new features in the azure console. Get real, there's no news here.

    This just shows that even MS engineers do not trust prefer MS software in certain circumstances.

    no it doesn't. The guy clearly said that Edge was locked down on that machine, and Chrome is the easiest to use because it installs in the user profile and does not require breaking gpos.

    That's usually my first go-to when I deal with a locked down browser, next is getting a portable Firefox or Opera.

    An increase of $6 (52 - 46) from $46 represents a 13% increase.

    6 / 46 = 0.130434783, according to my calculator.

    Oil prices always round UP, so it's 14%

    Try adding some Cryptocurrencies to your gin tonic . . . they seem to be very efficient at intoxicating folks beyond sanity.

    In this case, Joel on software is right. I've used firebug for a long time and it's much better than the browser tools in Chrome or IE. Firefox will not improve the developer experience by reinventing firebug, they will just make it different and repeat mistakes.

  25. That's the view of Kelsey Hightower, staff developer advocate at Google Cloud Platform

    Those are the people who fire competent engineers because they don't drink the diversity kool-aid. Too busy with their social agendas they couldn't even build their own cloud automation, they had to buy it from Twitter, and somehow we're supposed to listen to their advice?

    Congratulations on having a "staff developer advocate" (whatever the fuck that is) that is part of a prized minority, but really, fuck off google. Spend less time reading motherjones.com and jezebel.com, and more time reading o'reilly books like real software engineers, then maybe your opinion will be newsworthy.
