This is a demo from Microsoft Research, which does research into new areas, not a product group.

The two most recent technical previews for Windows Server support containers natively. You don't need a VM to run containers on Windows.

The cost of a parking space in an urban center is also a large part of the equation.

Parenting style doesn't cause schizophrenia.

Vmconnect(1) is a local exe. The best experience for a console to your Hyper-V VM is remote desktop, but that requires a Windows guest and virtual networking. If you are trouble shooting networking or boot, or are using Linux guests, vmconnect is very easy to use (no network required) and works great.

I'm not sure of any way to get a console through IE. Can you explain?

Lots of powershell cmdlets have aliases too. They are less discoverable than the verb-noun names, but for cmdlets I use often they are great. Get-ChildItem is aliased to gci, ls, and dir.

Many people lead normal happy lives with a mental health diagnosis. Something is wrong with everyone. Putting a name to the common class of struggles you struggle with most can be empowering. It makes it easier to find resources more tailored to you, and connect with others that have similar experiences.

Mental disorders are often internal, not external. What to others looks like someone coping okayish or just a bit quirky can have a huge negative impact on that persons quality of life.

Microsoft was ordered to hand over an Irish citizen's emails stored outside of the US to US government officials in a drug case. The case is still in appeals.

Why? This isn't true of the current Surface.

Failing a class often has devastating consequences in college. Scholarship programs generally have strict GPA requirements, and once lost cannot be regained. Nursing programs are particularly harsh. Failing a class by a percentage point may trigger the student needing to retake an entire year's worth of classes, regardless of the grades received in the other courses. The cost of an additional full year of tuition is not a hiccup.

Anecdotally, women encounter verbal assault a lot more frequently than men. Catcalling, whistling, "give me a smile babe" and the like are an awful experience and dehumanizing.

Reading mode in Edge solves this problem, if you're looking for solutions.

Choosing to take on management roles doesn't mean someone cares more about total salary than time earned. They probably just care more about team culture and mentorship.

Hours are flexible on my team, so the hours someone is available for in-person discussion varies widely. It's never been a problem to send an email asking someone to stop by when they have a chance.

I absolutely agree that it is important to be around during office hours, especially to take advantage of mentoring opportunities. Taking the time to sit down with a more junior employee and help them figure out their next step is incredibly valuable. There doesn't need to be any rigidity to office hours to accomplish that though. I would be taken aback if a lead came to talk to me about work hours, unless I had become nocturnal.

Touch laptops already exist.

It's not the first step to letting an employee know there performance is at risk. Or it isn't supposed to be.

No, it's not the same everywhere. My coworker recently came back from five months maternity leave, and next year women at my standard big corp will receive 8. Parental leave is seen as a completely normal part of work life.

Are there any existing products comparable in quality and speed to Cortana/Siri that do all of the processing locally?

That hasn't been my experience. Students at top CS schools have much more access to recruiters at well known companies, who assign recruiters to particular schools. It's a lot harder to get an internship at such a company from a school without an assigned recruiter. Good CS schools also help students to get internships earlier in college, after freshman year.

I asked a professor in charge of admissions for a graduate program about their desired gpa. His response- 'What school did you go to?'.

Students at good schools don't have some innate willpower to push themselves harder- they have better opportunities available to them. That isn't to say that students at other colleges don't do just as well, it's just takes more effort.

The in-box Settings app already has a privacy section that is easy to find, has a nice GUI, and breaks down privacy options into reasonable categories (location, contacts, calendar, feedback, devices, ect). Microsoft may need to add a few more options, but overall it's a huge improvement over the privacy controls of Windows 8.1.

I find it interesting that you both complain the settings have stayed the same and change too much. What would you have wanted here?

Triage generally means the feedback will be routed to the relevant people.

I'm confused why a promise Would be expected here. How do you envision a system for handling large amounts of public feedback working?

It's a little hard to describe Microsoft as a company built on free software. Another thing that gets lost here is that large companies certainly pay full time senior engineers to contribute to open source projects. They just work at the company, not for OpenBSD/RedHat/ect directly.

Interview environments are always stressful, but so are other common workplace situations. Being unable to manage stress effectively might contribute to poor on-the-job performance, even for people with great pure coding ability.

The process right now seems focused on finding people who are the best at only coding. In the future, do you intend to also consider communication skills? Senior developers act as mentors for junior employees, and often need to coordinate projects across multiple teams.

You're reading too much into the article than is there. The father in the article mentioned speech therapy, therapists and lots of doctors. It's clear that he is doing what he can to help his daughter, this particular article just wasn't about that part.

This article was about self-acceptance, about accepting something about yourself and your family that you didn't choose. That doesn't mean that he ignores it, or doesn't work to change his daughter's behavior. Acceptance doesn't require you do nothing. Acceptance can help see all the ways the disorder is impacting things more clearly, and that can lead to more effective interventions.

(Side note- I do absolutely agree with you on the current trend of explaining away mental disorders as gifts, 'differences' to be tolerated, or evolutionary trends that don't make sense anymore. No, autism\ADHD\ect are not a gift. Serious disorders that affect all aspects of your life are not something to celebrate or ignore.)

This is the wrong question to ask. What blocks people from switching isn't some specific MS Office feature missing in LibreOffice. It's a lack of compelling features in LibreOffice that are not available in competing products to justify the cost of migration.

I really like to hook the kickstand over my knees sitting on the couch. I haven't had problems comfortably using it as a laptop, though laying down I generally use it as a tablet.

From FTDI's point of view, their driver's are not free, they are distributed for use by FTDI customers. FTDI doesn't want their drivers to run on non-FTDI chips regardless of whether they are marketed as real FTDI chips or not.

Counterfeit isn't the issue here so much as competing non-FTDI chips relying on FTDI to do the hard and expensive work of developing drivers for them.

Bricking non-FTDI hardware was extreme and guaranteed to make people angry. I wonder what the reaction would be if FTDI had instead made the driver not work on non-FTDI chips unless the end customer bought a license key from FTDI to use their drivers.

I would be surprised if WHQL tested drivers on counterfeit hardware.
