Yeah, I did watch those, but haven't kept up with the latest news - not sure if they have announced any progress.

Thank you, I didn't know this wasn't actually announced.

Question for you - I have created a few (okay, two) UWP apps, but the limited success of the store has made me look to using Xamarin. Only thing is, Xamarin's XAML is sufficiently …

"I was working in games, and testing a 3d game while walking was often disorienting and would cause me to trip on myself or walk off the treadmill." I chuckled when I read that! I …

Thanks, that was a good read.

I'd be really interested in hearing from someone who uses this on the floor. Is it really all they say it is? The marketing and PR looks good, but do mechanics really love it?

To be fair to the author, he does say this "I don’t ask for or expect any sympathy. I am responsible for my quagmire—no one else. I didn’t get gulled into overextending myself by u…

Yes, exactly. That's why I don't get it. I can understand going through a rough patch where you pay the minimum cause you can't afford it, but I cannot understand constantly paying…

I'm always baffled by one thing in these sorts of articles - the belief that paying the minimum due on your credit cards is the right thing to do. I'm not going to pontificate abou…

This was inevitable. I wonder how Blue Apron is planning to compete.

Microsoft Azure has "Functions" which is their name for serverless https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/functions/

The Register has a few more details - https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/07/17/ibm_latest_mainfram... It features the next generation of IBM's CMOS mainframe technology, with a 10-…

While I agree with your basic point, there's something to be said about anonymously searching for information in a non-dynamic fashion (that is, the catalogue is exactly the same f…

That's not really fair. The data should speak for itself, and I for one found the argument cogent. Did you find any errors or bias? Otherwise you might as well say the CDC saying s…

I think this depends a lot on two people - your immediate manager, and their immediate manager. I've been lucky to have great management, and I've been able to do a lot of stuff th…

At first I thought this was silly. But on reflection, it seems like a great idea - why not make your solar grid more attractive? Imagine flying over that happy panda and the free p…

Unfortunately I'm not authorized to publicly speak for the corporation, so I can't really give you any more details. Sorry about that.

Sure - this was in reference to my top level comment, but I see that this dropped lower down the page. I work for a large Fortune 150, one that you've heard of, and we have a secur…

Yes, that's a fair point. However, it's still better than having expired certs and a team trying to figure out who owns the app, trying to get in touch with them, asking them to up…

And a quick follow up - our security team does not allow rogue * .company.com wildcards - they hunt down those sites and boot them off the network. They do, however, allow *. .comp…

This is great news for organizations. I work at a large Fortune 150, and there are lots of services that require wildcard certs. We have a process to get these from our internal CA…

Your comment reflects what I heard last week from a friend. He's a PE (Professional Engineer) working with a large power utility company, and his company uses software that, in his…

That's really terrible news. My condolences to the Kalanick family in this difficult time. I hope his dad recovers soon. I'm going to call my mom today and tell her I love her.
