I agree with Karel Čapek on this.

There’s an entirely different set of standards and expectations for today’s apps than the desktop apps of a decade ago. One of these expectations is that apps work and share data across multiple devices. If a user has the same app installed on their desktop and laptop, they’ll expect both apps to maintain the same configuration and work on the same set of data. Taking it a step further, if the same app is available on multiple devices, users will expect to be able to share data across devices. As well as the rest of this month's MSDN Magazine

So Windows and Linux together has grown from 110% of the enterprise market to 115% of it. Does anyone know what the other -15% of enterprise servers are running?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about beginners and the very understandable struggle to grasp programming that many of them face. This post is mostly aimed at those who currently find themselves in this position. Assuming you don''t know them all

Careful... They get really hard after the first hundred or so...

Lately, I have been trying not to think about grasping the non-understandable struggle of beginners to learn programming, but ... slippery: to forget it ... difficult as baby-eat-pabulum not run down chin to high-chair to floor !
Self in this position has joints that creak.
You see what playing in the infernal Fields-Of-CP-QA will do to a brain ?

The IEEE is just starting to tackle 2.5G/5G Ethernet, and two groups think they have the answers "This town ain't big enough for the two of us, sheriff"

They never should have narrowed the Ethernet pipe from half-inch to eighth-inch; we can't go back now.

Microsoft’s Windows 10 is still in testing, but hardware makers can’t wait for the day the OS replaces the controversial Windows 8. A four year old computer is "ripe for upgrade"? Smells pretty ripe around here then.

My work laptop is only about 2 years old and is very ripe. Unfortunately even if I found a real issue worthy of gaming my way to an out of cycle upgrade again (in 9.5 years working here I'm on my 4th laptop and have never had a laptop for the official 4 years before replacement); afaik the cheapskates still aren't buying SSD equipped models meaning it would be just as garbage as the box it replaced.

Yes. Hyberbole is their middle name. And their first name. Also their last name.

"There's a major lifestyle shift that's been brewing over the last 30 years," including kids and adults doing more close-up work and spending more time indoors, says Mark Jacquot, clinical director of vision care at LensCrafters. "This is contributing to a reduced ability to focus on things farther away, which is essentially myopia."
In the early 1970s, about 25 percent of 12- to 54-year-old Americans were myopic. By the 2000s, more than 41 percent had the condition, research finds. [^]
In Taiwan, the myopia prevalence among 7-year-olds increased from 5.8 percent in 1983 to 21 percent in 2000. And in South Korea, a large, representative study of 19-year-olds showed that more than 96 percent were myopic in 2010.
