    One computer can't ping another, but the problem is one-way

    Boot the unreachable system from a Bootable USB Linux distro and see if it can be pinged.

    Something Random

    Every project I've been on or ran for the last 10 years has used a CI server. There is way more automation that is necessary if you want to do successful continuous delivery of 10s or 100s of microservices. Take a look through here for an idea of what is required: https://netflix.github.io/

    question Where'd the X79 motherboards go?

    I don't know if I've ever RMAed anything. Isn't it almost always a waste of time?

    That was mostly a joke. I have read all of your rants though. I have avoided getting a Mac for over 4 years at work. I've been running Linux on my work machine for at least 3 years. The Mac is actually probably less of an issue to me than I always imagined. The machine I have is a 13" MacBook...

    I'd rather not spend any money on apps for a laptop that I'll only have possession of for a short time. I can't really use a full keyboard because I have to use the laptop in a variety of places (client site, my company's office, airplanes, home). I installed iTerm2 immediately after receiving...

    Your ideas have probably permeated my conscience so that all my opinions were made up before ever using the machine.

    Something Random

    I started at a new client in Portland today and they gave me a 13" MacBook Pro. This is the first time I've actually used a Mac for a significant amount of time. I'm coming from using Linux machines exclusively for 5+ years, so it's a bit of a departure for me. I'm struggling most with keyboard...

    Something Random

    I'd say a lot of the benefits are operational. Many of the organizations I've worked with have an extremely hard time deploying software to production. Without any kind of automation in place taking a single deployable unit of code and multiplying it by the number of microservices necessary is...

    Windows 10

    Why not just pick an OS an go for it? If you need another OS, just virtualize an existing installation or create a new VM. It seems to me that you're doing things the hard way.

    Such as Birdman, which won best picture last year. I barely made it through that movie.

    Sounds similar to employment contracts that forbid you being able to take legal action against your employer. Just because something is in a contract doesn't mean it's constitutional and any court will uphold it.

    Have you gone in and manually checked? I've also had to clear a cache from one of the system libraries before to get an update to show up.

    LG V10 available with intro deal - 200GB micro sd, 3000MaH battery, charge cradle

    I'll probably get the LG G5 when my contract expires in July. My LG G3 just got the Android 6.0 update last week. I don't think Samsung ever supported their devices that long.

    Security is the biggest reason. All software is vulnerable, it's only a matter of time before this site is hacked because of an unfixed exploit.

    Doug's IDE suggestion is good. PHP has a tendency to eat errors rather than show something useful. Too bad there isn't a statically typed language that will run on a cheap ISP.
