Hell just froze over: MSFT announces SQL Server on Linux
-
Yep, and for every good one there's a shitty one. Try
postgresql.conf
:
``
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# QUERY TUNING
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------# - Planner Method Configuration - #enable_bitmapscan = on #enable_hashagg = on #enable_hashjoin = on #enable_indexscan = on #enable_indexonlyscan = on #enable_material = on #enable_mergejoin = on #enable_nestloop = on #enable_seqscan = on #enable_sort = on #enable_tidscan = on</blockquote>
To be fair, I've never used Postgres and every one of those are immediately evident to me what they do. Apparently whether or not they need additional explanation is subjective.

You mean I can use C# in Firefox on Linux, and write ASP.NET MVC in JavaScript?
No on the former, but technically the latter is kind of possible ...
-
A SOFTWARE PLAY IN TWO ACTS
-
SpiceWorks (which, though Windows-based, is open source, AFAIK)
Wrong. Windows only and closed source.

How about you spend a nickel and get a real CRM system?No No No No Don't Do It! It's a trap! Real CRM systems are EEEVIL!!!
Or at least ShillFarce is evil, and it's supposed to be as real a CRM as they come. If that's what a CRM is supposed to be like, then fuck using a CRM.
-
Zendesk? Or Jira Service Desk?
Anything is better than fucking around with a shared mailbox.

The problem, or "feature" as the ShillFarce guys tried to explain it to me, is that although it comes as a CRM out of the box, highly-paid consultants can monkey about with their private scripting language and their endlessly-extendable entity system to make it do anything, absolutely anything at all -- including things that no CRM should ever be anywhere doing. They tried to sell us an ERP module based on horrible abuse of the service call system. They tried to sell us an AP/AR module based on "specialized" Opportunity objects. They tried to sell us on a time-clock system, where each clock in and clock out is its own object, with JavaScript date math to calculate work duration. The out-of-the-box CRM was good, and with some slight tweaks and better reporting it would have been a good fit, But the Frankenthulhuian monstrous tentacled abomination they wanted to sell would have bankrupted our company and still not be fit for any purpose.

Confirmed that Microsoft join Eclipse Foundation for their "Team Explorer Everywhere" plugin.

Wow. I think you just found User Friendly some competition in the "worst comic by Linux lover" category.
-
pfff, it isn't even in the same league
-
I dunno. There's some great gems there.
(Does Java even still use that logo, BTW? I thought they've been a coffee cup logo for like... 10 years now.)

Those dames, right men?!

Gawd, yes. Only thing worse is once your kids start talking.

woah, it ain't even funny in an ironic way

Is "nickel" a colloquialism for $50K these days?
-
Or Jira Service Desk?
We did a test of JIRA Service Desk. It is complete and utter shit. Total rubbish as far as a service desk software goes. Completely half-assed and lacking basic functionality and a miserable UI.

Fine, don't spend a nickel, and grab you some sugar.

Not even going to click and already know my answer is "Fuck no".

Makes sense. Why use SQL Server to push Windows, when they are making more $$ with SQL Server itself than Windows.
If they do the same with IIS, Active Directory, and etc, suddenly that will make Windows Server look very cheap.
-
Do you really want all your configuration files to be arbitrary computer programs that call arbitrary functions?
Oh, like *rc files?
-
Yeah, rc files suck, which is why the big distros are moving to a fancy init like upstart and declarative service definitions.
-
Not sure how you're going to use upstart to replace .bashrc or .vimrc, but whatever floats your boatrc.
-
I think he means init scripts in
/etc/init.d
, but that still doesn't work. Upstart only really replaces the symlinks in/etc/rc.d
, and init scripts which follow specific patterns. More complex init scripts still need scripts, AFAIK.

Since there is no upper bound on complexity, you'd be right. But upstart covers most (all?) of the sensible "patterns" and can replace the vast majority of
/etc/init.d
scripts. And it does, in Ubuntu, for example.

@Zecc said in Hell just froze over: MSFT announces SQL Server on Linux:
They also bought xamarin. Still want to argue with me that Microsoft is posing to take over the Linux space?
Now that Windows 10 is supposedly the last version, they are attempting to get all market share everywhere.
Maybe Windows 11 will be based on Linux and WINE.I don't know this world anymore.

In an apparent attempt to regain the high ground, Canonical now supplies Ubuntu as a Windows Store app:

did @apapadimoulis buy out Microsoft on his mission to make people at IT?

I've been emulating similar stuff using Git Bash, GNU Tools and CMDER for the last few years because cygwin sucks ass.
A one click installer for the ubuntu user land which is pretty much the standard these days in desktop linux (unfortunately because I prefer the Suse and Redhat ecosystems) is pretty sweet. Just install the user land and apt-get everything else you need to run your *nix app.
For web developers like me this is a godsend.
