SysArchitect··on Announcing Azure Command-Line Interface 2.0 Preview
the src directories, and command_modules directory inside of that all contain separate Python projects. This allows them for instance to make changes/updates to particular parts of the azure-cli but without releasing a new version for each small sub-part.

Instead they could have created 17+ github repo's and had each part have it's own repo... instead it's now all contained in a single place.

Safari 10 showed up in my downloads list for my El Capitan system this morning.

Non-existent... at least in my experience with my Google Apps account.
SysArchitect··on Weirdly broken Wi-Fi access points
Channel 100 requires DFS... so you did set it to a channel that requires DFS.

I wonder if this is due to the licensing costs for putting an HDMI connector on something. IIRC it's $0.15 per port.
SysArchitect··on Apple Surveying MacBook Pro Users About Headphone Jack and Other Ports
Thunderbolt 3 is rolled into the USB-C connector. So now USB-C will carry PCIe and USB 3...

So yes, "USB-C" will run your Firewire 800 ;-)

HDMI to DVI works without issues on the MacBook Pro. Just make sure your display accepts digital input. Some older displays/projectors had DVI without actually supporting the digital in pins and only had the analog (VGA equivalent) pins.
SysArchitect··on Weirdly broken Wi-Fi access points
There are certain channels in the 5Ghz range that require the access point to do checking to make sure they don't actively interfere with radar...

See here for a document from Cisco describing the issue:

interestingly enough, hard setting the channel to 100 might violate FCC regulations, and DFS should still be used...

SysArchitect··on GitLab Master Plan
These days I run all the various different services as different VM's, then have a single reverse proxy that points at the various instances. This way I can make sure that I don't accidentally need a newer version of some library than some other app causing conflicts.

At that point the internal shipped NGINX can be there and be happy without issues.

I'd love to have transactional DDL so that if a migration fails I don't get left with half-migrated tables...

You mean a DAC, like the iPhone already had built-in to provide you with sound out through the 3.5mm jack?

SysArchitect··on Fork: Fast and Friendly Git Client for Mac
I can't even test the functionality because it won't let me pass the first screen because I don't have config user.email set in my gitconfig.

I have a pre-commit hook that is installed on all new repo's I create/clone that warns me, and then I set an email address PER REPO. This way I can work on both $WORK and open source projects on the same machine while having different email addresses per repository.

The assumption that a user needs to have user.email set globally breaks my entire work-flow.
