I think the next stage will be that Microsoft break into your house in the middle of the night and force you to upgrade at gun point.

I've had no problem with Windows 10 except on my home system. It's possible it was the hard drive, which I've since replaced with an SSD, but I have suspicions that there may be other issues (due to overheating issues that have since been resolved, which which may have left damage.) I'm waiting for Kaby Lake to build a new system, which will have Windows 10 on it.

Dupe-the-user tactic that changed the click-the-Close-button behavior may be at root of activity gains. Amazing what a few forced installs can do

Do they know that 1 is a thousand time larger than 0.001?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I've got another theory, all the deviations from the mean update rate on that graph are just noise caused by trying to sample at too narrow of data bins. (The same is true of the clickbait techpress's hyperventilating over data from the same source claiming that Browser X's market share gaining 0.4% this month when it only gained 0.1% last month, and wondering what magical event happened to drive the larger shift.)
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?

Have you ever seen a team perform so great that you wanted to join it? If you examine the values of such a team, you may discover a perfect balance of orientation on people and results. Definitely yoga. And maybe a little aquacise.

We occasionally have students ask for help on software, “My software is perfect, but it doesn’t work!” Your software is never perfect. My own software is never perfect. "The perfect is the enemy of the good"
|
|
|
|
|
All my software has a certain degree of perfection.
|
|
|
|
|
Even if my software is 'perfect', the underlying Operating System isn't.
|
|
|
|

All the myths teach us how dangerous it is when mere mortals aspire to perfection: that is when the gods put their foot down, and crushing sole stomps soul.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Why you need to make it perfect ? If you do, client don't need you. You only ought to make it work!

Please, do improve the next application;
std::cout << "Hello World!";

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

FP does a horrible job selling itself because:
- The world is not immutable
- Tail recursion is a thing only necessary when coerced into an immutable world, and can get really complicated really fast
- Continuations and continuation passing style are hardly ever necessary (and easily implemented in non-FP languages)
- Pattern matching is just a glorified switch statement
- Type inference sorta sucks, especially when only the first field of a type is used to infer the type (that one bit me numerous times.)

"Her au pair asks, "Ready to go?"
She doesn’t respond, her thumb on Instagram. A Barbara Walters meme is on the screen. She scrolls, and another meme appears. Then another meme, and she closes the app. She opens BuzzFeed. There’s a story about Florida Gov. Rick Scott, which she scrolls past to get to a story about Janet Jackson, then "28 Things You’ll Understand If You’re Both British and American." She closes it. She opens Instagram. She opens the NBA app. She shuts the screen off. She turns it back on. She opens Spotify. Opens Fitbit. She has 7,427 steps. Opens Instagram again. Opens Snapchat. She watches a sparkly rainbow flow from her friend’s mouth. She watches a YouTube star make pouty faces at the camera. She watches a tutorial on nail art. She feels the bump of the driveway and looks up. They’re home. Twelve minutes have passed." [^]

IT professionals' job satisfaction levels have been on the rise in the past two years. Is the consumerization of IT behind this more positive vibe? "They call me mellow yellow"

The 260-character path length limit in Windows can be removed with the help of a new policy, thus allowing you to run operations with files regardless of their path or file name. c://well/that-s/a/feature/update/i-ve/wanted/for/a/while
That joke would have worked better if it were actually longer than 260 characters
