View source on the website, there's an odd comment right at the top..

Looks like a weird comment at the top of the source too..

Nice, cheers for that. I'm quite tempted as they're so small, though I am building a tower I may just get one anyway!

@newEntity I'm curious, what don't you like about the way they are moving?
What worries me is the bold ambition to have the all encompassing Windows Store, while in itself not a bad thing; more the walled garden that may result and if the journalists are to be believed the threat to Steam and PC gaming. -
I would say Azure is pretty lucrative for Microsoft right now too. But it still stands, Windows 10 is good and now with the dev friendly bash soon to be included, not to mention their lightweight IOT build for Pis, it really feels like they're making all the right moves.

I tend to use /opt but going on the other answers I am questioning that a little.
I've looked into Linux root folder naming before, and it didn't look like there were 'rules' per se - so we're just consistent, /opt on all our servers! -
I've been looking to use React for a new site we've got coming up. It's a big UI refresh and the previous codebase uses Angular 1. While I'm all for working with what you have it felt that with Angular 2, and its reported lack of backwards compatibility, we could take a fresh look at frameworks.
I like the look for React and did a simple hello world / intro tutorial, but the question is this: how does it handle a complicated UI? (And by complicated, something along the lines of a busy Netflix UI or the Amazon homepage) -
*its
Dammit, where's the edit function already! -
Vim - it or it's lesser relative Vi are likely to be found on every Linux server... Which is a massive benefit to those of us still managing servers "by hand"
Ooh and there's the best game-tutorial: http://vim-adventures.com/ -
This is very true, however have you heard of Chocolatey? (https://chocolatey.org)
It's a reasonably good package manager for Windows... worth a look.
That said I almost always use Vagrant where I can - for everything from stubs to full on dev environments. -
@zombie01 @zombie01 challenge extended!
What's xonar? (I'm about to visit the search engine of choice but sell it to me?) -
@h3ll ha! How much porn could one man handle? Unless they do 8K versions... But even then you have to question, why?
-
Good shout - I'll start posting fliers through doors!
I'm already hosting my blog, git server and plex (though on 12Mb plex was as much use as a chocolate teapot).
VPN stuff is a good one though, and now I've the bandwidth hosting a game server is an option... Do the people need another minecraft or CS server? Maybe coop roller coaster tycoon is a thing? -
I totally agree, but disagree. Sometime's you have to build from the right foundations and it's good to have the fresh perspective. Plus, it must be a pretty good learning experience for him if he's new to the code base?
That said, I've been in a situation where the refactor would blow our sprit plan out the water so that's a case of "add it to the backlog and it can be your extracurricular". -
Use vim to write a node/angular project?
vimtutor is a good place to start and vimawesome.com is your source of all thing vim, from themes to plugins.
