Whether developers like it or not, DevOps is here to stay. At the DevOpsCon in Berlin, we spoke to DevOps consultant Andreas Schmidt about why the initial hurdles are worth the switch to a DevOps approach. "You load sixteen tons, what do you get?"

You know, I still don't know what DevOps really means or does or why I should care. Wikipedia says:
DevOps (a portmanteau of "development" and "operations") is a software development method that stresses communication, collaboration, integration, automation, and measurement of cooperation between software developers and other information-technology (IT) professionals.
and now I care even less.

It means that coder is also a (the?) sysadmin on the server their code is running on.
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?

It means companies now have a buzzword to apply to the concept of "You get to do 4 different jobs now. With no pay raise."

And, I was 'jettisoned' into the earthly atmosphere a mere few weeks later *after* 'floating' in a most peculiar way!

Side effect of order to move to IE11 by Jan. 2016: A third as many deserted to Chrome as met Microsoft's demand. "It was beauty killed the beast."
Yeah. No idea why that was the first thing into my head.

Uh, yeah, IE ain't no 'beauty' by any stretch of the imagination! 
Just the opposite: The beast is being killed by beauty.

Far from being "just the opposite", your version means exactly the same as Kent's.

I call BS on this report. The author needs to show causality before saying Microsoft's mandate pushed people to Chrome.
Chrome itself forces you to upgrade its version. Are people abandoning Chrome because they don't like being told what to do? I don't think so.
People move to Chrome because they prefer it. Microsoft could have simply made auto-update the default in IE8 and we'd all be running IE11 and there would be no discussion.

Work is still stuck on IE10 and FF31. 
IE's generally held back by one cluster-elephanted internal site or another; I decline to speculate on if they'll upgrade us before the deadline or not. They tend to push FF updates once a year or so, but never to one of Mozilla's LTS releases (where they could have security updates only but no changes to the JS/HTML/etc functionality) for some reason. As of a few months ago, FF updates were blocked because the new certificate verification code and the bluecoat HTTPS MITM proxy didn't get along for some reason. I need to try an unofficial upgrade again soon; they just deployed new BC certs; I'm hoping that means they've fixed WTE the problem was. Chrome, in an inexplicable exception to the rest of their policies has always been allowed to auto-update itself.

Since C++ (by deliberate design) does not include a native garbage collector or memory compactor, programs that perform dynamic memory allocation and de-allocation (via explicit or implicit use of the “new” and “delete” operators) cause small “holes” to accumulate in the free store over time. "Memory management is too important to be left to the computer."

Ah, but you supposed that I meant my meaning was meant to mean the non-mean of the meaning when, in fact, I meant not of any opposite meaning, but meant to opposite the order such that the meaning was still meant to mean the same meaning.
