So far every single company I worked for has been a drunken, high on meth, angry, chaos whirlwind with dementia. I'm missing out on overly bureaucratic, I know.

Developers who use and target Microsoft’s .NET Framework are no longer outsiders looking in when it comes to developing container-based applications. A pretty container spiffs up anything
|
|
|
|

Although the word "app" is used, it is important to note that the "app" does not have any GUI. If you want to run a Windows Forms or WPF app in the container: bad luck, it does not work. The example in the article shows how to run a web site with IIS in the container...

Researchers have been developing a theory, Information Foraging Theory (IFT), of how people seek information, whether it be on the web, in a filing cabinet, or even in source code. It follows a metaphor that stems from animals looking for food in the wild. It's always in the last place you look

They left out prayer, spiritual guidance, crystal balls, Tarot cards, and ouija boards (to name a few.) Ah, science has become so materialistic!
Not to mention the bizarre but all too often experience of simply going for a walk, thinking about anything but the problem, and having an ah ha moment when one realizes the problem.

Even in 1980, that would not be sufficient.
So, writing code is still not something an AI can do, even though it has been in the media for the past 40 frikkin years? Even Access 95 does better than that

For years, Ubuntu has been enormously popular with Linux fans and developers. The corporate desktop? Not so much. Now, with Microsoft Active Directory integration, Ubuntu wants to be an enterprise business desktop as well. It's the Year of Corporate Linux!

When is Microsoft going to get their finger out and buy a Linux vendor.
I thought they should buy Red Hat. Microsoft didn't have the need for a cloud vendor, as IBM did, but I still reckon that Microsoft could have made good use of Red Hat. And it would have stopped IBM getting them.
In the enterprise Linux vendor marketplace there is still Suse but this isn't ready for sale yet. Its private investor owners are busy building it up (and they do seem to be intending to build it up and not just rip its insides out as others might do).
And then there's Ubuntu. Ubuntu is in my opinion and under-performing company. It doesn't make as much money as one might think it does -- or could. There is a great opportunity there, if Microsoft plays it right, to increase value through synergies. Yes, sorry about the corporate-speak but I think it's true. From Canonical's side, I understand they are looking for an investor. Going to IPO might well be underwhelming for Canonical as, as I note, they seem to be underperforming. A trade sale to someone like Microsoft who really can take them to the next level might be the best way forward for both both MS and Canonical/Ubuntu.
Microsoft would of course need to make sure that people believed they were still committed to Windows, but by bringing Ubuntu into the fold they could sell themselves as OS agnostic: "We have Windows and the best Ubuntu, and cloud offerings for Windows and Ubuntu desktop and servers; we have all your needs covered in house".

That's why I don't use any. I have my own local encrypted container with a text file containing hints instead of plain passwords. Basic, ugly, no extra functionality (i.e. auto-fill web sites) but personalized, non main stream and totally offline (I mean not needing the internet at all for it)
It is similar as with home automation. I will do it myself in my house, not because I think I will do it better than many commercial brands (although I might do it better than some), the biggest point is... not being commercial brand / mass system.
A local custom solution will always be more secure (at least in my opinion) because it requires more time to get it bypassed as you are not having the standard things and needs specific reverse engineering / local hacks.
I know there is no 100% security, but it is secure enough if you do it a bit more difficult / annoying / time consuming than your neighbors.
