There's a difference between getting excited ab out new technology, and implementing it stupidly.
Most new techs are just fad as you mentioned. But they can still be fun to play with, experiment, and you can learn how to apply new tricks with older tech. Its not black and white.
And then when something actually do pick up (Node.js, I'm looking at you) and become serious, you didn't miss the boat.
Of course. I guess I wasn't clear. What I was getting at was that roughly 10 years ago, when Eclipse was a few years old, it was really, really good, and did a lot of things better than Visual Studio and other IDEs (even if you consider Visual Studio with VB6 and
I haven't done Android development, but IntelliJ IDEA has been ahead of Eclipse for ages, so this isn't surprising.
Eclipse was a good IDE (relative to others) for a brief period of time early in its life, give or take 10 years ago (i think?), and that was it. Everyone else quickly caught up, Visual Studio was brought up to speed (with plugins at least), IDEA came into the spotlight, and the only reason Eclipse was still popular was because it was a) it was free, b) people learnt it in school, c) people didn't even realize there was better IDEs out there for Java (and other non-Microsoft languages).
OneNote saves to a file and expects that file to simply just get synced up on modification. Rsync will work just fine. As will any kind of folder synchronization option. FTP won't work on its own, but anything that watches a file system folder and sync it to FTP will.
Yeah, it can use SharePoint out of the box to do something similar with WebDav....and it sucks. But anything that lets you share a folder will...and there's a lot of "standard protocols" that will do that nicely.
Maybe its not THE option you want, but no matter how they do it there will be an option missing, so at least the one that works will work for most people. Hell just use GIT push. Its arguably a more common way to push things to a web server than FTP lately.
Yeah after I posted that I noticed the free version was crippled, unfortunately. The pay for version's actually pretty cheap and most people get it for free via deals they can get through their employer or school, but if that's a no go, then you indeed need to look elsewhere.
I'm an evernote user (because originally the android app for OneNote sucked ass...though I just peeked at it and it looks somewhat better now), but used to use OneNote...
and while a lot of the Microsoft flame is often justified, not in this case. Get out of your bubble. OneNote is the one thing Microsoft got right, and its used by a _LOT_ of people. Even working for unix based companies, people with windows lap-top use it all the time, and those who couldn't run it before were drooling over it. Its fairly well known.
OneNote is made to have multiple clients share 1 file. So any file sharing tool will work if it maps to a folder. You can stick it on a network share or something. And any "cloud drive" solution will work just fine.
OneNote data is easy to extract and several tools allow it. Also not free, but Evernote will happily gobble it all up. Your data is on your own box (even if you use the online version, as it will get synced up with OneDrive), and it does have publicly available APIs.
The moment they try to close it down, move your data elsewhere. Problem solved.
If you can afford the extra hundred thousand dollar(s) for the dedicated parking spot with your house in Paris, your taxes will cover any issues that come up from having a second car =P
(Disclaimer: I don't know if things work the same way on the other side of the ocean, but buying a second parking spot where I live would bring me down $100k)
The goal is to ban them, with some exceptions, not to allow them, with some exceptions.
If you have a big family, or if people can take the subway to your place and you're all going to the same mall, it works. Otherwise, tough.
Same thing as all other consumerism issues. Private colleges are the biggest viral marketing success on the continent (world?).
Everyone's always talking about harvard, MIT, cal tech, CMU, Cornell, etc etc etc.
A bunch of students come out of there amazingly successfully, and everyone forgets the countless students who fail horribly, or end up not better off than the average joes. Then word gets around... We've all seen the bunch of friends who get together after highschool and ask "So, where did you go?!", and when someone answers a college name they didn't hear of (which should be common: no one knows even a fraction of colleges' names by heart), they're surprised. "Oh? Where's that, never heard of it". No one wants to be the person who went to a college no one heard of.
And thus, people go and pay up the wazoo for suboptimal scenarios. Sure, if you're good enough to get top grades at MIT, you're almost guaranteed to succeed in the job market... But please don't go in liberal art at Harvard when you're just barely qualifying and plan on partying all day/all night unless you have one hell of a backup plan.
he won't be part of the shows at least, unfortunately
VGO will be at least, and they're AWESOME.
I could be wrong (I haven't been in the US very long), but I was under the impression that before the ACA, that was on a state by state basis. I beleive Mass took care of it, but not all states did.
Especially in a field where job hopping is common (and almost always work in your favor, if you do it responsibly), the pre-existing condition thing really terrifies me. I'm a Canadian citizen and I can move back whenever, but if I didn't have that escape route, and had to stick to a job for insurance reason, I dunno what I'd do.
God forbid your employer realizes that and start abusing it.
If programmers ran Congress the country would go under as no one would ever agree on minute details on a bill. You thought the current 2 parties never agreeing was bad. Now imagine every individuals never agreeing with each other...
Anything free is worth what you pay for it.
