A counterpoint that manages to totally ignore some points already raised in the initial article, and that includes a number of comments where other users have experienced the same issue.
It's called victim blaming, and is something that I would expect from an Apple fangirl.

I know you are all way to smart to look at the sun with a telescope - but just in case, here's a nice reminder[^].

Some of us are smart enough to know how to look at the sun through a telescope[^] without cooking our eyeballs.
Sadly my Monday forecast is mostly clouds.

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?

A certain patch prevents Windows 7 PCs with specific types of motherboards from booting. Totally a coincidence. Totally.

It's hard to stay sane when tech people look at me as if I'm a ugly green monster (I am not green!) because I disable Windows Update in every imaginable way... knowing that I'm saner than most of them (most of the time).

There was also a small bug that when automatic updates and windows indexing service were both enabled then the system would use lots of resources.
Oh I forgot that was a feature not a bug.
I disable both.

Typically the first service to die, especially on my workstations.

65 percent of HR managers say open-source hiring will increase more than any other part of their business over the next six months. Open sores skills? Not so much.
|
|
|
|
|
What are open-source skills? How are they different from closed-source skills?

I'll translate the corporate speak for you:
"We are too cheap to pay for off the shelf software, or extra developers to code the functionality we need, so we steal borrow utilize as much open source software as we can in our internal systems. Therefore we only want to hire people who already know how to program against those specific software libraries."
Knowledge of data access in general and the pros and cons of ORM's and the situations where they should and shouldn't be used? Who cares! All we need is someone with awesome Hibernate skillz!!

Closed source work doesn't show up on your github resume.

We are excited to announce the preview release of a new, advanced code optimizer for the Visual C++ compiler backend. It provides many improvements for both code size and performance, bringing the optimizer to a new standard of quality expected from a modern native compiler. Rumours that it converts all your C++ code to JavaScript are unfounded

It'd be interesting to see how it stacks up against LLVM
|
|
|
|
|
Probably well. My experience with LLVM as of late is that both gcc and VS 2015 do a better job in all respects (besides performance, clang has been failing on me in really odd ways with C++14 and C++17.)
