Once I stop reading article after article here and elsewhere about how there just aren't enough developers in the world to fill all the jobs he have now and coming, then I'll buy that we're on a pure supply & demand curve.
That's not what I've seen. No policy has been changed on my Windows Server, Windows 7 and prior RDP clients connect fine, Windows 10 clients refuse because of lack of certificate.
Those almost universally look bad, because you can't tailor them. That's fine for the sort of people that rent tuxedos, because they don't care - they need a tuxedo because a dress code calls for it, but they aren't into it.
On the other hand, people that like designer fashion are into it. So, they will want to get their pieces tailored for their body, because if they don't, it'll generally look meh. You can't do that if you rented it.
Thanks! Made a quick script with this to unpack the other stuff (I couldn't mount the ISO for some reason) however 7z seems to handle the ISO and the MSI file both just fine.
For what it's worth, I found on two of my systems that had issues with the upgrade, if I followed the upgrade/activation with a clean install of Windows 10 (giving up the option to return to the previous version of Windows) the installation worked great. I had different but equally show-stopping bugs on my Windows 7 workstation and my wife's Windows 7 laptop until I did that.
On my wife's laptop I had even tried a fresh install of Windows 7 followed immediately by the upgrade and hit the same bugs as before (no "Modern" apps would load including Settings, and Explorer.exe was constantly crashing). A clean install of 10 fixed those issues and now it runs great.
Passive aggressive behavior does not imply passivity. What would I have done? Well assuming that I'd give a shit, I'd probably talk to the guys directly. You know, "Hey guys, this is a professional conference, let's keep it professional". Again, that's assuming that they actually said something objectionable which I'm not sure they did.
yes! exactly. its like she's in class and some boys were exchanging dirty jokes behind her and she overheard. instead of turning around to tell them to shut up 'cos its annoying her or even just to 'shhhhhhh!' , she called the teacher over to report them and then posted on her blog/fb/twitter that she just got adrian/michael/david who were sitting behind her thrown out of class for exchanging dirty jokes. and felt like a hero doing it.
A friend of mine put it this way: let people run disconnected, offline, and in the UI show a big glass dome over their city cutting them off Simpsons Movie style[1]. Over time, gas, food, and water run out, necessitating a reconnection.
I was asked that question during an interview for a technical role at Microsoft. Granted, it was 13 years ago at this point, but they did really ask stuff like that, and probably still do.
My impression is that they are no longer in vogue - for a few years when I was in college (2004-ish) they were all over the place. Our industry is extremely faddish, even when it comes to interviewing...
You can still see them in some places I believe. I've heard anecdotally that Microsoft is still a fan of them.
When I was trained as an interviewer at Microsoft (circa 2006), they explicitly warned people against asking questions like that (and had been doing so for some time). There may be older employees who stubbornly persist, though.
I should add that my personal experience contrasts with yours - I did a lot of interviews around 2004 and got asked riddle-type questions by one, maybe two, people. My memory is that they mostly died with the original dot-com boom.
The speed limit on the NJ Turnpike is largely 65, but traveling at 70 - 80mph on the turnpike is normal, often the speed to just keep up with traffic, depending on the day/where you are on the road.
Wanting to go 80 on the NJT isn't "taking it to the track", it's "driving from A to B".
