This only holds true if the tools do their jobs well and have a user interface that works the way the developers do. When I had to use TFS, I very much felt like I had to "jack with their vc/build/bug software all day", and it *sucked*. I forget the exact details but there turned out to be something critically broken in the way it handled diffs, such that you could blow away someone else's changes if they didn't happen to be present in your file at the time you did a checkout, without ever having any clue that the other person's changes existed!

I think most trouble developers have with Microsoft tools is that they don't understand the "Microsoft way". It's a different mind set with slightly different goals. It's not 100% compatible with those "learn'ed" in the UNIX way.
The Microsoft Way
* Use tools with deep feature sets and fine polish. Don't get hung up on trying to implement missing features. You're not a tools developer; you're a %X developer. Focus on %X.
* Use tools that are backed with corporate support so you don't waste time scanning google and forums.
* Use tools with easy integration: think "Visual Studio + SQL Server + Excel + PowerPoint".
* Package your software with everything it needs to run. Include dependent .DLLs.
* Speed of development is critical. Missing market opportunity is the most expensive loss. In fact, it can destroy a company.
* Simplicity in the development process is more important than design simplicity. You can always rewrite code, but you cannot recoup lost time.
* When development is simple, rewriting code (*a.k.a. refactoring*) is also simple.
* Focus on business logic. That's what earns the company money, not support and glue tools.
* You should be able to setup within 5 minutes and be off and running with your software.
* You should be able to prototype a quick mockup in 1 hour or less.
* Reports, diagrams, charts, statistics. Visualizing progress and code quality is key. | null | 0 | 1315862610 | True | 0 | c2jdta1 | t3_kc5di | null | t1_c2jdta1 | t1_c2jdp3a | null | 1427591638 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | clintm | null | I guess I can somewhat understand his view. I remember being... dazzled? by oop and thinking it was the only right way to design software at one time.

Are you a developer or a CSR?
>The Microsoft Way
Meh, I'm used to it with various newer technologies, and was excited to hear about TFS, but from the complaints (especially with their version control system) I pretty much don't care for it (we're still stuck on VSS, so "Microsoft polish" my ass, heh).
Microsoft ease of integration and development speed can't be beat generally, but sometimes I feel like my hands are tied and _quality_ suffers because of it. Weak branching means that a big feature set can hold back bug fixes and it drives me crazy when I can hot-patch a minor issue but we can't because our trunk (for in VSS there is effectively only one, or a million merge problems) isn't stable.
A lot of their analysis tools can't be beat though, especially in VS 2010 (thanks for bringing MDI back), I just wish the application didn't hang so often (what did they do to it?!). | null | 0 | 1315862991 | False | 0 | c2jdvca | t3_kc5di | null | t1_c2jdvca | t1_c2jdta1 | null | 1427591666 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | javacodegeeks | null | Prior throwing accusations about Java Code Geeks "stealing" content, you should learn how to read! The original author is a JCG (Java Code Geek - http://www.javacodegeeks.com/p/jcg.html) - as clearly stated at the end of the article - thus is part of a Java developer community that is committed to share their knowledge and experiences so as to help each other. As with all of our JCG members we have granted full privilege to republish and promote every article they write that we believe is valuable to the rest of the JCG community.
Furthermore we (the Java Code Geeks community founders) are Java developers ourselves and have contributed first (and still contributing) with high quality articles. That is the reason that we do not want to simply maintain a link aggregator site but a site that will host the most valuable content for the Java developers community. On top of that by submitting the link pointing to the reposted article (hosted on Java Code Geeks) and not the one pointing to the original author's blog we promote not only the specific author's work but the work of all the Java Code Geeks community; since our site is the entry point for them all. That is our obligation towards all of our JCG members!
As far as content duplication is concerned I just wanted to pinpoint that in the majority of cases we do not just copy and paste content; We perform lexical and syntactical corrections (since many of our JCG partners do not speak English as their prime language) along with article and code snippets formatting so as every article to be as readable as it can be.

True | [deleted] | null | These are only broken because the author explicitly compares nested comprehensions in CoffeeScript with a non-nested ('doubled up', rather) comprehension in Python. (then uses a nested one in Python to show that Python is more expressive (!))
l = for x in [0, 1, 2]
for y in ["a", "b", "c"]
"#{x},#{y}"
// => [["0,a", "0,b", "0,c"],
// ["1,a", "1,b", "1,c"],
// ["2,a", "2,b", "2,c"]]
c.f.
l = ["%s,%s"% (x,y) for x in [0,1,2] for y in ["a","b","c"]]
# => ['0,a', '0,b', '0,c',
# '1,a', '1,b', '1,c',
# '2,a', '2,b', '2,c']
But these are not isomorphic, as he then goes to show Python's actual nested comprehensions with like behaviour as CoffeeScript:
l = [["%s,%s" % (x,y) for y in ["a","b","c"]] for x in [0,1,2]]
# => [['0,a', '0,b', '0,c'],
# ['1,a', '1,b', '1,c'],
# ['2,a', '2,b', '2,c']]
There's no big deal here, nor any need to break backwards compatibility. Much like Python has two syntaxes, so can CoffeeScript; support `for x in [0, 1, 2] for y in ["a","b","c"]` much like Python does (without nesting it in a new context).

True | merlinm | null | yes. although, unlogged vs temp vs regular tables is really more about optimizing disk i/o around your use requirements. unlogged is really saying 'i don't care about crash safety or replication, so please don't expend the effort to write data for this table to the WAL before it goes out to the heap'.
statement latency is affected by backend i/o issues, but is also highly effected by the efficiency of your network layer/driver, grammar (in postgres everything, including operators, is over-ridable), and various other things. mysql-myisam is *very* thin and thus highly efficient running a large number of queries round-trip from the client. in postgres, to hit those rates of query processing you need to leverage more backend features like functions where you are less affected by latency, or utilize more clients (for most non single-user workloads I'd bet money postgres can handle faster and better). database performance is a complicated topic though, and for single user workloads and simple queries mysql/myisam can do insane tps rates, as can sqlite.

True | cdsmith | null | Fair enough. My gripe with this subthread isn't an opinion about what the best decision is for Google to make. I simply don't enough about the economics of the situation to know for sure. It's obvious, from the outside, that it got a lot more expensive for Google to maintain browser plugins for other browsers, simply because of the vast increase in the number of them in use and the rate of change. What I don't know is how they decided what time they can devote to maintaining the project. So... I'm not informed enough to have an opinion on whether they made the right decision or not.
My point was just that attributing this to some attempt to lock people in to Chrome rather than implementing open web standards is dishonest. Google Gears was never about web standards, and its users were already locked in to Firefox or IE, since they didn't maintain the plugin for Safari, Opera, etc. You just lucked out and happened to be using a supported browser. Perhaps they hoped they'd get more buy-in from third parties, or they just thought IE/Firefox would be enough at first... but whatever the reason, I have a hard time seeing any kind of ethical failure in their decision to drop the project. | null | 0 | 1315865584 | False | 0 | c2je8t4 | t3_kc9ai | null | t1_c2je8t4 | t1_c2jdnx0 | null | 1427591845 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

The reason here is that TFS will mark all files as read-only on the filesystem until you have asked the server to check them out for you. If you cannot communicate to the server, you cannot checkout the files and you cannot edit them
This is not true. Opening a version controlled project with no connection to TFS will prompt you to work offline. Changes made while offline can be saved locally and committed as soon as you are back online. TFS obviously isn't a DVCS, so you can't check-in while offline, but it certainly doesn't prevent you from working locally.

Right click -> Include in Project. Problem solved. I've never had TFS fail to notice that changes were made to a versioned file outside of Visual Studio, and I do this several times a day, every day.
