Oh, I would so love to see you succeed with the Amaran lights, which presumably would lead to all of the Aputure stuff being reverse engineered? I think if there was an open-source…

You could use this to build something like PLINQ, but this is at a lower level in the stack than PLINQ.

It is worth pointing out that this blog post is old, from January. Julia 0.5 adds a phenomenal new feature, the dot syntax [1], that automatically fuses vectorized expressions. I b…

I followed your interactions with the core devs, at least the public ones. I think the core devs handled the situation with an enormous amount of patience and tact.

I've been using julia for a little more than two years now. I've been subscribed to all the mailing lists and regularly read the github issues. Not all of them, but a fair share. I…

The top edition already is $1700, the cost of adding LTE must be a pretty small fraction of total cost at that point. For business people your arguments 2 and 3 are actually incorr…

Well, sure, for a consumer device that I use on my couch in the evenings, I certainly don't need LTE. But the Pro seems pretty geared towards business, right? For business traveler…

Also, doesn't have a GPS, so only WiFi location services...

I can get tethering to work, my mom: never. My parents both got iPads and a device that isn't just online all the time could never ever work for them. iPad really set the bar on th…

No 3G at all? Zune all over again.

But you can't use things like git from ISE because it doesn't support interactive console apps...

Copying files is an excellent issue: at some point I suggested either on the PowerShell blog or their feedback site that PowerShell should have the ability to copy files via remoti…

I looked at Azure to see how these things work there. Here is my current understanding: blob and table storage in Azure Storage is automatically geo-replicated between regions. If …

I bet this is the mysterious project Dave Cutler has been working on lately! http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/microsoft-confirms-dave-...

The title on HN is incorrect. Only the mathematics department is canceling their subscriptions, not the whole university.

Is a system that has Windows Update switched on, i.e. is up to date with security patches, at risk? That might be a cheaper way than to buy their software... It seems to me that if…
