I can only imagine what would happen if he considered VisualBasic. [nyuk, nyuk, nyuk] Hey, Moe! Hey Moe!* Total & utter paroxysm.
OKay, I admit it, I just posted this so I could use the word paroxysm. It's absolutely paroxysmal of me.
*ala Three Stooges --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_stooges[^]
Plus, I really wanted to mention the Three Stooges. But seriously, Linus and VisualBasic don't belong together.

Finally, Github for my old Windows 2.0[^] machine.

I also read it that way at first. I thought, do I need to unpack my 286 now?

Followup - what an utter piece of crap. It appears there is no way to connect to an existing repository already cloned on my box.
Did it not occur to the designers that someone may want to do that???

What do you mean? Surely if it's cloned on your box it's already connected to the remote repo?

Of course it is, but there's now way for me to tell the GitHub Windows app that there's a folder with an already cloned repository!
Or am I missing something? Does this thing do anything more than create/clone repositories? I thought it let you do things like commits, merges, branches, etc.

Aah I understand. I gave up on the Windows app a long time ago, I use the Git SCM tools for Windows, really good

I'll give that a try. I've been using SmartGit/Hg and, while it works, it just feels a bit klunky. For example, it's constantly losing my authentication when I push commits (which may have been solved in a newer version, but when I tried that, the SSH keys needed to be reconfigured for some known reason!)

I use the command line tools as well, as I find them easier to use (sometimes). I use the built-in Git gui (gitk) sometimes as well, and I have been looking at TortoiseGit.

What is the essence of C++? Why did it succeed despite its well-understood flaws? What lessons - if any - can be applied to newer languages? Sorry, I usually don't link to videos, but it's Bjarne!

Great minds think alike (etc.) I was originally going to look up the lyrics to that damned song and use that for the blurb, but then it would be going through my head all week.
Much better to have the Badger Song.

Would lyrics about violently abusing an idiot in a dorky costume really be appropriate for the insider anyway?
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?

I took a C++ class at local college in 1989 and the teacher stumbled over his name calling him Barn-jee and then said, 'I love you, you love me, we all love Barn-jee...' So the joke is only about 25 years old.  I guess you've stumbled upon a classic.
But I see here at CP that makes the joke just about ripe.
We're all stuck on Windows 3.1 anyway. Not even Windows 3.11. It was the best. INI files and real DOS. We all miss it.

The specifications of McLaren/Goldfinger though are less important than what it does, which is 3D Touch. While Samsung tried with the Galaxy S4 to use the front-facing camera as a motion detector, it was obviously a hack and a gimmick. The notion of real non-touching gesture support requires dedicated, specific hardware. I think I know what I want for my new 'disconnect' gesture to be

Can a company that's seen as a technology dinosaur re-establish itself as a powerful and profitable leader on the cutting edge? It has happened before, and if Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wants a primer on how it's done, he need only look at Microsoft's onetime partner IBM. clueless (adjective): having no knowledge, understanding, or ability.

tl;dr Microsoft needs to abandon both hardware and software and become a services company.
Oh yeah, and Nadella's smartest move as CEO so far was selling Nokia Android phones.

Imagine if your kitchen scales could advise you about nutrition or if your lavatory could tell you to see a doctor. The Internet of Things is making these ideas possible, but at what price? As long as they have a power switch, we might still win

It's easy to test for things like coding chops or editing ability. It's much harder to discern whether a potential hire would be a good fit at a company, which is why HubSpot has spent years developing some Jedi-level interview tactics that help it hire right.
