For normal users hasn't this been the case already for a few versions of Windows? The OEM key is baked into the BIOS and normal users never have to worry about it even if they need to reinstall the OS. It's only we weirdos who insist on building our own boxes that need to care about them.
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?

Futures are a pattern for expressing asynchronous computations in a natural and composable way. Because when you think of the future of C++, think of the place where your grandmother posts cat videos

When the Russian security firm Kaspersky Lab disclosed recently that it had been hacked, it noted that the attackers, believed to be from Israel, had been in its network since sometime last year. Yet another reason not to use antivirus
Or just use FreeBSD: no one would bother creating a virus for it.

Docker, CoreOS, Google, Microsoft and Amazon are now working on a new standard for software containers with the help of the Linux Foundation. One size fits all?

Other members of this coalition include Apcera, Cisco, EMC, Fujitsu Limited, Goldman Sachs, HP, Huawei, IBM, Intel, Joyent, Mesosphere, Pivotal, Rancher Labs, Red Hat and VMware
I notice the company I interviewed for a month ago isn't in this list. Interesting.

Are they also not on the wall of logos graphic in the article? Whoever wrote the text appears to've gotten tired before they finished listing all the companies involved.

That's an interesting set of partners there... it will be great to have a common container format.

LAMP diehards take note: The flexible simplicity of MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, and Node.js is no joke. Unless you'd prefer to use MEDIAN (but you're on your own for the acronym)

I have no idea what LAMP is and (since you provided the definition of the acronym) I have no interest in touching MEAN.

Nah. NoSQL - refuse to touch it.
Express - have no idea what it even is.
Angular - might look at it once Google finishes rewriting it.
Node.js - refuse to touch it. It's Javascript

Express is just a small framework to work with Node.js. It makes routing and adding middleware, exception handling and templating easy. Other popular alternatives are Hapi and Sails.
You know I'm no fan of JavaScript, but MEAN has my interest. It's like REALLY flexible across the entire stack.
And you're using just one language across your entire stack too. Sure, too bad that's JavaScript, but I don't even think it would be possible with any other language...
I can really recommend just spending a Saturday afternoon with MEAN for fun and giggles and see what the hype is about

I was just confused about the fact that you seem open to working with Angular (a Javascript-based framework) at some point, but you reject node.js because it's Javascript. Is it javscript on the server that bothers you, and you're fine with it on the client?

Yes. Javascript on the client is a necessary evil I can't do anything about except perhaps use Dart or TypeScript.
Marc

Gotcha. That I can understand. I was squeamish about js on the server myself until I started playing around w/ node.

Node with Typescript is a huge amount of fun.

Well now, there's an idea. I just don't see writing something like a web server in a scripted language though. Sure, for a test jig, great, but do people really use Node for production servers?
Marc

|
|
|

Err, yes. I've got a fairly large scale app running on Node with the business logic all written in TypeScript. It's less processor intensive than running it on an IIS rig so that was a big incentive for me.
|
|
|
|
|
Interesting! Gah, I try to avoid IIS. I ended up writing my own web server that could sit under IIS, but there's no need to.

I managed to reduce running costs to about 45% of the IIS costs, keeping a similar throughput. This is purely down to the fact we can run on a lower spec server running Linux.

That is still the #1 reason I can see for *nix development -- the VM costs seem considerably lower than running a Windows VM.

LAMP: Linux... uhm, Apache, MySQL, and either/both/all of PHP/Perl/Python
I think.
