I'm always surprised after a day of doing nothing but focusing on work. It usually ends up being "I did that in a single day?!."
Also when you concentrate, you're less likely to produce bugs by simply forgetting about what you're doing half-way through.

Do they now ask if and what you want to update?

I know... but they should not force to that.
For non-tech people I find it OK, but I want to have the possibility to choose what I want and/or what I don't

Windows 10 Mobile hasn’t officially rolled out to consumer devices yet, but we’re already seeing some documentation about the end-of-life treatment for the latest mobile operating system from Microsoft. Will they ship it before then?

I can sense a new Windows coming out sooner.

You missed the whole meeting. By ending support before the product ships, they will clean up on marketing, production and support costs. It's a double win!
I would say a triple win, but support is through Stack Overflow anyway.

With IncludeOS, developers write a cloud service in C++ and bring in the IncludeOS libraries. When compiled, the result is a disk image that contains the application and the few OS components needed to run it. The image can then be booted and run on a modern hypervisor; Linux's KVM and VirtualBox are currently supported. C++ on Rails?

Well, what problem does this solve? I honestly think these things are a solution in search of a problem.
We're doing it backwards, people! Get your act together and start moving forward!

It's ok - maybe in 30 years there will be problems for which this is a good halfway-through solution. Let the creatives create!

So let me get this straight. I need a computer running an OS. That OS has to run VirtualBox. I then need to load an OS on VirtualBox. And THEN I can run my C++ app with whatever crap IncludeOS adds on to it? Maybe I don't need the OS on VB, but I still need an OS to run VB.
Did you follow all that?

As pointed out a solution looking for a problem to solve.
Does this mean they can shove it onto a PI or something...

Words can be inspiring, even when they're arranged into vague, fancy-sounding sequences that seem deep but say nothing. This article is sooooooo profound!

Whoa! Even more profound when I'm reading the original! 
I'm glad to have paid my small fraction of that NSERC grant.

Just go to any modern art gallery and read about a painting or sculpture. Lots of fancy-sounding sequences that seem deep but say nothing. Though I don't have the "inspired" experience, just the "what a load of BS" experience.

And highly probable has actually nothing to do with the real intention / feelings of the artist.
