GlobalServices··on The largest Git repo
Yes! Windows Kernel is a much more "modern" microkernel architecture than any of the circa-1969 Unix-like architectures popular today. We use Windows 10 / Windows Serve for everything at our company, and we have millions of simultaneously connected users on single boxes. No problems and easy to manage.
GlobalServices··on Windows 10 S Will Not Support the Linux Subsystem
It isn't? I'm pretty sure that's exactly how the new iPad Pro with keyboard is marketed.
GlobalServices··on Frighteningly Ambitious Startup Ideas (2012)
I think there may be room to replace the telephone. Most of my phone calls are junk. Amazon may be on the way to doing this with Echo calling.

Make a new spam free telephone system on the ip network

GlobalServices··on Windows 10 S Will Not Support the Linux Subsystem
Nobody here complains about Apple's OSX vs iOS, where iOS has no shell
GlobalServices··on The increased use of PowerShell in attacks [pdf]
I love PowerShell. We use it to manage farms of machines, and I use Amazon's excellent PowerShell aws library to do everything from managing my Route53 DNS to setting up new Amazon VPCs.

Security issues aside, it's by far the best OS shell scripting language around, and it has concepts that make it different from any other attempt to write a shell language that includes pipes and redirections.

GlobalServices··on Americans Are Paying $38 to Collect $1 of Student Debt
We need to stop Government backed student loans immediately. Then we can watch tuitions drop like a rock!

If and only if we stop Government backed student loans will I be OK with some debt forgiveness or amnesty program.

GlobalServices··on Interview with Ed McManus, Technical Advisor for HBO’s Silicon Valley [audio]
"you're"

I wouldn't be so quick to not take a person seriously because she recognized an actor from a film you didn't like or see.

GlobalServices··on Top 20 Most Sold and Most Read Books of the Week
I like the idea of seeing books people actually read. There are some notable cases of books that sell but are never read...
GlobalServices··on How a Blind Developer uses Visual Studio [video]
How is Xcode for this?
GlobalServices··on Show HN: FSQL – Search through your file system with SQL-esque queries
Also MUMPS. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick_operating_system for info.

In some ways, Microsoft is on the way there with the way PowerShell works, and the ability to script things through OS functions that return objects which can be queried. If we ever see a WinFS, it would be very powerful combined with PowerShell

GlobalServices··on Don't tell people to turn off Windows Update
It's amazing how many people defend Apple while attacking Microsoft here. It's almost as if Apple pays people to do this.

We run Windows 10 and the lastest Windows server on all our machines and don't have problems because we have good, in-house, local IT people and also good security on the edge routers.

GlobalServices··on Don't tell people to turn off Windows Update
My business partner's 16-year-old kid is a hardcore "gamer" who thinks he's smarter than Microsoft.

I set up a PC for him with a legal, licensed copy of Windows 10, and he promptly reset it using a pirate/cracked version of LTSB because he didn't want the "Windows 8 stuff" and he didn't want "Microsoft spying on him"

Within 2 days it was full of viruses and malware. I don't let him plug his computer in to our office network, and I don't let him near any of our office computers.

GlobalServices··on AMD 16-Core ThreadRipper Enthusiast CPUs to Reportedly Utilize 4094 Pin Socket
I would have put two more pins and made it an integer power of two. And it would have looked nice on the bottom! (64 x 64)
