I'm pretty sure curl is also an alias for iwr.

I'm not sure why you're being down voted, but this is a very reasonable counter point.

The purpose or brief should be at the top of every file, it should also evolve as class or implementation does. Arguable that it's really the only one that matters and can also come from no other tool or location.

Is running out through your attic and eaves not an option? Assuming you would mount on the under eaves anyway.
I believe in this case it's Change Log.

Sphinx, it's linked to in the footer.

Reading the title I was really hoping this was story of a program loading and executing. And that the site had this documented for multiple languages.

Does anyone know of a resource like that? I understand it would be different in on each platform but a fun and interesting read either way.

That's odd you should be able to reference anything in a sibling folder using a global.json in the parent folder to both projects.

They both also need to use project.json for their definition for this to work, otherwise packaging will have to be the solution.

They build frameworks. ;)
Yes, but these are the narrow minds you know. Be sure there will be a new/different set of narrow minds at the next company.
Re:Hewlett-Packard Enterprise sells its software business on Thursday September 08, 2016 @01:32AM (#12450513)
Right, that is being spun off and no longer with HPE. Figured the example being sought was software that will no longer be with HPE and not just this specific spin off.

Eucalyptus is one example that is getting spun off.
Re:Apollo Global is buying Rackspace for $4.3B on Friday August 26, 2016 @11:07AM (#12366773)
I believe the rumor is they are going to buy hpe after their spin off/merge with CSC. There might be an opportunity there.
ascii is a representation of bits in the range you specified.

It doesn't change the unit of measure byte and its value when converting to the bit unit of measure.

Extended ascii uses the full 8 bits (unsigned) to value of 255 and values 0 through 31 are reserved for control codes.

So probably something similar to eldos cbfs/dokan backed by a filesystem cache db so the crud operations do not need to hit the backend?

More like WebDAV, but yeah. This is what jungle disk did when it was first released.
For me personally having a history in this space these are two 1.0 features if releasing today. Back when they released 1.0 it might not have been obvious that these features were needed to differentiate.

But getting the single threaded path solid before adding parallelism is a good choice.

Do you really need to protect the entire system? Or have you not captured the setup of your system in a provisioning tool like ansible or chef or the like? And then protect only the necessary files to restore the configuration and user data of the system.

Protecting the entire system should be something that is done near line so if you have a catastrophic loss your time to recovery is less than that if everything was stored somewhere in the cloud. Or Just not do it at all and rely on a tool manage the configuration of your system.

Data files and configuration are really the best thing to protect with a tool like this. If you have a total loss your playbook should include something like replacing the failed hardware, Installing and patching the OS, replaying configuration of the system using ansible or chef, restoring data files.

To me this is the fundamental gap that cloud backup solutions need to fill to really capture the consumer market well. The SMB market already has this as you goto IT and get your system reloaded and then restore your user data, its pretty much the standard for larger corps.
