I agree. There is a lot of fear mongering coming out of Microsoft now, like their "we can't promise security upgrades" for people who ISO install on unsupported hardware.

I'm interested as well since they had a layoff of the Servo team. Did they rebuild that team with unannounced hires? Outside contributions?

Agreed, I love this. Just use a different hot-key to open a new tab that is in its own container.

Zorin is only paid for the Pro version which offers a few more layouts out of the box and different pre-installed apps, and support from them.

The standard core version (standard and lite as you mentioned) is completely free.

It is built on Gnome (3.38). The Zorin taskbar looks based on the Dash To Panel extension. Zorin ships with Gnome or XFCE for the light edition. There is no KDE spin.

Like the previous version, they picked a generation old Ryzen chip and then they package it with slower and less ram and disk space than the Intel SKUs. Zen2 in this is still pretty good, but Zen3 came out 6 months ago at this point.

Microsoft <3 Intel

From what I gather its a chicken and egg issue. Wayland would get more attention and development if it had more users. It would have more users if it had more feature development. Although a lot of the bigger gaps are closed or closing now. OBS now works on Wayland as of 03/30/2021 and Fedora plans to ship Wayland as the default.

I've been using an extension called Temporary Containers. Every site gets its unique instance and then it is destroyed afterwards.

This. I wonder how much work it would take to get the Pantheon desktop running on FreeBSD if they wanted that as the base.

and .Net Core becoming the standard .Net 5.0

AMD also sells the console chips at a very low profit margin. They benefit a bit from their name being on so many products as well as hoping that games are optimized for AMD hardware which will benefit their PC business side as well.

Well, that's the plan, but NVidia is kind of wiping the floor with them.

Spin up time of WebAPI is shown here, but returning hard coded values isn't much more than a proof of concept. Once you connect to data, you have to look at spin up time of something like EF and context/model generation over and over. What happens when you get 20 controllers with many function and routing actually has to do some work.

Lambda also prevents any long running optimization such as output cacheing.

I agree with PDF viewer being added. When browsers started adding full game rendering with 3d graphics libraries it crossed the line for me. They're using it as a delivery platform for anything and everything.

Couldn't they just have the extension pre-installed with the ability to remove?

"Windows 8 on “mobile devices” is a jail: it censors the user's choice of application programs."

I laughed. I don't think its their choice that the app store is horrific.

Yea, it stood out to me that they demo'd Windows Phone first and that Nadella gave his talk in a t-shirt and jeans.

Anders has already demo'd this at Microsoft on Channel9 some months ago.

This sounds very biased and uninformed. It really doesn't belong here. A simple look at the kernel level stability and perf gained from Vista => 7 => 8 => 8.1 show that it clearly isn't true.

And for someone who finds hard work fulfilling?

The new docking station and ability to drive high resolution displays is a lot more important than sites are recognizing. We can finally truly have 1 machine for everything on the go and docked at work or at home. No doubt it'll likely be more of a pleasure perhaps in a Surface Pro 3 that would be lighter and even more powerful.

I don't really see the current crop of convertible laptop/tablets as solving this problem due to low perf and the fact that I'd never be able to code all day on those cramped keyboards.

Linus never fails to be a complete ass.

"It was 8 hours after the launch and my launch had failed."

I know plenty of people who don't open emails until 8 hours later.

Thank you so much for writing this. My company is planning a move from Fat-client + in house server model to web based likely a SPA solution.

I've spent the entire weekend pouring over JS frameworks and have had a rough time trying to compare Angular vs Ember vs Knockout. From a newby, they all seem to be very similar without having written large systems with each to compare.

I am really interested in good ways to influence change a fast paced companies who can't seem to take a step back and look at the money actually wasted.

Really, really nice job, congrats. All your hard work really shows. Looking forward to this.

This has also become a a key focus when organizing work for the team of developers I lead. I find that by rotating certain roles, developers avoid burnout as well and yearn for times when they can become fully engrossed with project work and be left alone.

And 3d games < 2003 were rubbish graphically compared to today. There was minimal AA and AF. There were almost no particle effects, shaders were just being thought about. Physics in games were a joke until HalfLife2.

All that on one machine? I hope it doesnt go down and you lose your entire company. You should have several redundant instances.

You also breezed over the license costs for VisualStudio, Windows Serer, and SQL Server.

While I don't doubt the findings and won't argue the results, a group of 26 people is hardly a study. Give us the results of 260 or 2600 people, from different backgrounds.
