The changes that Satya implemented were only possible because the majority of employees agreed with his vision.

Anecdotally speaking, the culture enforced by Ballmer was not that popular among Microsoft's employees.

Yup, the Danish Working Environment Authority is pretty clear about it.

There has to be a source of natural daylight and there must be clear windows that you can see through. Of course there are always exceptions, but they are just that.

It's not just the title, I'm guessing people are more reluctant to click an unknown URL.

Ultra HD (4k) Blu-rays use HEVC as well, so we will definitely not get rid of that standard any time soon.
But we are going to need good spaceships for when the planet is no longer inhabitable.
Re:Using Code Snippets in Chrome Developer Tools on Saturday July 30, 2016 @09:29AM (#12192881)
The editor is necessary to the Chrome Developer Tools, since you can edit existing pages and debug the changes. The Code Snippet functionality is however not necessary (in my opinion), but it's such a small part of Chrome Developer Tools that I'm not sure it qualifies as bloat.

Thanks for the reference to the original article. The article at WSJ is walled so there isn't much to see there.

I have a FreeNAS server set up at home for most of those services. It's a FreeBSD based distribution focused on file services, but you can really run any service from the BSD jail system. FreeNAS comes with click'n run plugins for a lot of the services mentioned in this thread: ownCloud (files), firefly (music), btSync (files), Plex (video/music), Subsonic (music) and more.

Now a Mac Mini isn't the most fearsome server, so you won't get extraordinary performance, but it should perform good enough for for 1-2 concurrent users.
