Speaking of redesigns, am I the only one hating the material design feel added to google chrome settings?


My home desktop (Intel Pentium G645) doesn't support virtualization and I guess this means I can't run this.


There is no virtualization used in SQL server on Linux... It's not a VM. It's a just like any other Linux process... It just happens to have something that looks a lot like the NT Kernel running inside that process.


That CPU of course supports virtualization.


Speaking of flash & it being used to build entire websites, this we hear made it hard to index those sites. I remember when I was at university, the university network didn't work with android devices because it worked over a proxy and Google/Android weren't fond of a proxy server because it prevented them from tracking the user. Lots of tools have died solely because they prevent bigger companies to flourish. Not saying Adobe aren't big but you know Google and Apple are massive.


On Firefox mobile it's not about getting everything to work, just basics because the page is quite useless on that browser.


Apparently,the experience is unusable or terrible in Safari for iOS and Chrome for Android also, but I too came here to complain about it being completely unusable on Firefox Mobile. Hello, fellow Firefox Mobile user!


It's not completely useless ... Yet, but with the shift the world is taking (globalisation, *robotisation and move to renewables) it will be. Some engineering degree too will put not have a place in the future.


What he's saying is that a college education does not have ton map directly to a job to be useful. So even in your example an engineering degree will have some value.


Fundamental software problems here. Probably the reason why software is being marketed as service more and more. IBM might be moving a little too fast, especially from a sales perspective but their systems offer features that will define the future.


The problem is that their systems aren't very good so if it's just APIs then it's more than likely a cloud provider would provide similar APIs and eat their lunch. The only thing they seem to really be able to do in this space is consulting


Did you ever see the comparison between IBM Watson and WolframAlpha? http://gizmodo.com/5766124/the-difference-between-watson-and... Worth checking out


"{ Version 57.0.2987.98 (64-bit)

Guess I will only be able to comment on these when I get home. The full screen screenshot feature is going to be a welcomed addition. I will especially have to teach it to the BA's since they always want to take screenshots to show to business when design is finished but test is still acting up.


This has been showing up on my work machine since our IT group started installing Chrome on all machines.

If you do a search for that and 'Chrome' you'll find sites that tell you how to work around the issue.

Chrome has long supported the ability to workaround non-admins the ability to install Chrome (local user directory I believe) so no surprise there's a workaround for this as well.

Personally, I found that the registry key wasn't matching what those say, but Chrome still has that message but will update. Your mileage may vary.


What good reason would a sysadmin have to disable web browser updates?


It's possible that a new version could have a breaking policy change. For example, all our intranet apps are served over HTTP. At some point, that's going to become untenable due to the changes for browser security requirements.

In general, there's no momentum to make a change that the agency doesn't "have" to make, and when the browser finally refuses to transmit forms over HTTP then we want to know about it before the change is deployed to all the users.


In the days of IE it was common because certain tools would only support certain versions of IE. Intranets and specialized web portals (like ticket systems) for example.


My sentiments exactly, especially since we as developers aren't in one team with system admin so they do not seem to understand our struggle.


I typed my work username twice. Shows how simple social engineering can be.


What do laws like these for partner but not member states to the EU like Turkey mean?


Turkey will never be part of the EU proper. 'Never' as in: not in a couple of life times. Turkey has been given the runaround for the last 30 years or so not because there ever was a serious push to integrate them into the EU but because of the fear that Turkey would align with Russia.

So Turkey is as much out of the EU as they ever were and the EU laws will not influence Turkey, especially not laws that would make it harder for Erdogan and his cabal to repress the intelligentsia of Turkey.

Yeah, even with a secular democratic party in power they would not have a chance (a 80 million people country, mostly Muslim, at the time where there is an islamist terrorist attack every month in Europe? Never mind the number of terrorists with a Turkish background, nobody would agree to that, and that's not even talking about its own stability problem and the neighbours Europe would acquire). With a proto-islamic dictator like Erdogan, forget about it.


Nothing, these would only apply as law to member states. Since December 13 2016, accession talks have been stopped and from the last interview to Erdogan that I've heard on an European TV, it was clear he no longer believes Turkey will ever be a part of EU, given the way that most member states populations and leadership look at Turkey (notwithstanding his presidency) and the difficulties that have been raised constantly throughout the whole accession process that started in 1987.

Recent EU wide survey:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/20/two-thirds-eur...

> The survey found there was strong opposition to Turkey joining the EU, with 61% of people saying they opposed it. This was most strongly expressed in Austria (82%), Germany, France and Belgium (all 73%).


Cameron was actually truthful when he said Turkey will join the EU in the year 3000 at the current rate.
