True | Ramone1234 | null | This is a continuous integration server. Typically you run one of these things and point it to your source code repo and tell it how to run any automated tests you have. It sits there all day, every day, checking to see if there are any new check-ins and if so it tries to build them and run your tests. If it fails somewhere in there, it notifies all the developers somehow. It works really well to make sure someone didn't forget to add files before committing, or to make sure someone didn't forget to run automated tests before committing.

True | gospelwut | null | And if your tablet needs a new HDD? Or your tablet has other mechanical failures? What about forensic work and corporate investigations? These kind of questions need to be answered before widespread corporate adoption. I don't mind tablets being giant PDAs, but to completely replace the tower desktop is not exactly something I would look forward to as IT or infosec (I'm not a programmer by trade). I think they and other people are being incredibly optimistic.
But, adoption is besides the point. I imagined (or hoped) Win8 would be more segregated in its GUI (i.e. "old" win7 style v. new whatever-the-fuck-they-want style). I was hoping the "touch" stuff would bugger off if I wanted it to, but from what I'm reading it seems a lot more integrated than that. But, it's beta so hopefully that changes.
I suppose I also don't see the huge appeal of being able to dock your "computer device" and also carry it around. Data is just data. If I want data I can access it on a storage medium (NAS, internet storage, a thumb drive, etc). This seems like an incredibly enormous "paradigm shift" for what *great gain*? I'm not being facetious.

Notch isn't a great programmer, he isn't even a good programmer.
Minecraft with every version has more and more bugs.
Requests from community aren't ever created or it takes really long time (actually every feature takes long time even if do this should take few minutes).
There is some bugs that have been know from long time and nobody cares of it (like wooden slabs can be collect only with pickaxe).
Performance is bad (not even because of java). Notch doesn't what to use OpenGL 2.0 or shaders or higher (MC uses OpenGL 1.1) because he wants to everyone could play, but at the same time Minecraft has so performance problems that you must have really strong hardware to run it smooth.

If you didn't include the apostrophe on OS's I don't think it would be *wrong*. But I believe it is the accepted preferred form. The only way to be 'wrong' about it - would be to flip between forms in the same document. Unless you're actually writing "Some people write OS's - but I prefer to write OSs."

True | ribosometronome | null | I, personally, used a program called [Macrium Reflect Free](http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx). I did a fresh install of Windows, installed all the programs I normally would on a fresh install (pidgin, vlc, office, etc) and all the available updates at the time and then crafted the image and stored it on my external hard drive. You boot up off a restore cd you burn with Macrium, navigate to the image file and point it at the partition you want it to restore the image to.
Tadaa, fresh install of Windows in pretty much however long it takes to copy ~10-15gb from one hard drive to another.
I'm sure there are other ways to achieve the same thing, this is just a free one I stumbled upon.

I ask because neither of them said to create code that looks like Notch's. Neither of them said to look to his code for optimization or to learn or even for ideas. Yet everyone seems to be reacting as though this is what both authors were advocating.
Instead, they're talking about learning from Notch's process: Hot-swapping code and other ways to reduce downtime, keeping domain knowledge, testing where possible, knowing when to keep features and when to throw features away.

True | [deleted] | null | It's all about early promises to get people to hold off on iOS development and wait for the Microsoft product.

I make my living writing Windows software, so it's somewhat painful to see Microsoft in their current state. Their best developers have mostly left the company either for startups or for Apple, Google, or Facebook. I don't think they have the talent to compete anymore.
