While USB monitors may be rare, DisplayLink is not rare. Essentially all USB-C "docking stations" use their chips, which are essentially USB graphics cards.

The benefit of DisplayLink is that you don't need a large proprietary docking station connector. Just USB-C. The "docking station" is essentially a USB hub, USB graphics card (DisplayLink makes this part), USB sound card, and USB ethernet chip, all in one box, that connects to the host using USB-C.
The "dock or dongle" connects over USB-C nowadays; while you can get one external monitor using the built-in HDMI port, you can't get two external monitors. DisplayLink is a company that makes what amounts to a USB video card supporting multiple monitors.
Best use for WSL that I've found is to finally have a good SSH client on Windows.
Anyone who says Eclipse is good needs their head checked. No matter how you feel about Visual Studio or Microsoft in general, Eclipse isn't good.
Windows now has native container features. The docker situation there has gotten quite confused; "Docker for Windows" creates a Hyper-V virtual machine and runs Linux containers on it, or it can be switched to "Windows containers" mode where it runs Windows containers directly on the host machine, like it would Linux containers on a Linux host.
It's going to get even more confused, too, because Windows is gaining the ability to run Linux containers "natively".
Kubernetes is not at all a front-end to Linux's isolation features. Kubernetes doesn't include any container engine. Most people use Docker's container engine with Kubernetes.
Kubernetes is a system for scheduling containers across a set of worker nodes, and includes features that make that easier, like service discovery and load balancing.
Amazon Kubernetes Service: https://aws.amazon.com/eks/
Azure Kubernetes Service: https://azure.microsoft.com/en...
Kubernetes doesn't compete with Docker. Kubernetes competes with Docker Swarm.
'cause engineers never finished a design that couldn't work, amirite?
Full disclosure: I read all of Atlas Shrugged. I also read The Fountainhead, but it's not very good. I am not an Objectivist, and I am not a Libertarian.
Ayn Rand never agreed with Libertarians. In fact, she said she'd be more likely to come to an understanding with a Marxist than a Libertarian: http://aynrandlexicon.com/ayn-...
Objectivism says you should do what's objectively in your best interest. Libertarians do what's in someone else's (Koch Industries, most likely) best interest and hope that somehow the benefits will flow to them.
Explorer is the shell; of course it's always executing.
Visual Studio for Mac is definitely Xamarin Studio with a different name.
3) Competitiveness and ability to handle stress are not good reasons to promote one employee over another. Promoting the top performers at one level to a higher level is actually bad business practice. It ensures that everyone is promoted to their level of maximum incompetence. Studies where employees were promoted AT RANDOM showed better outcomes than when promotion was based on current employee performance.
The fact that it's not a good reason doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Business makes bad, short-sighted decisions all the time. Unfortunately, they're run by humans, who are also known for making bad, short-sighted decisions.
If your password policies fail to account for reality, then they're the problem. Thus, password policies are the problem, because clearly they don't account for reality.

Scientists will study your brain to learn more about your distant cousin, Man.
