You are in their office using their computer, their server, their comms and they are paying you, and you think they don't have the right to monitor the content! Are people really that naive.
And yet we all know HR will trawl your social media if they want to!

We run them because we are afraid. We are afraid because we are uncertain what the system will do. Are you sure it does what you think it does?

It’s really starting to appear like the “technical monoculture” that so pervaded the 90’s and 00’s is finally starting to die the long-deserved ugly death it was supposed to. You're not a {blank} developer, you're a developer (or should be)

So first he says we're getting rid of the tech monoculture, which would imply I can use whatever software on whatever platform/os I want. But then he notes that the "Microsoft Shop" is an endangered species. And then notes how he can now do pretty much everything "everywhere" but "everywhere" happens to be "linux vms".
So, where just trading one perceived "monoculture" for another real "monoculture".

"But then he notes that the "Microsoft Shop" is an endangered species."
I just took that to mean somewhere where all the software is developed on MS-specific platforms, not that people would stop using MS platforms, just that they would happily mix and match. He's right too - many of us have been doing this for years.

Sure, I can see that, but then he goes on to say "linux, linux, linux"

Windows 7 Pro and 8.1 Pro users joined to an Active Directory domain are about to be pummeled by nagware, and the arcane blocking process is a long way from what we were promised. "They're coming to get you, Barbara!"

You know, I'm beginning to wonder -- does Microsoft know something about W7 - 8.1 that they're very afraid of and want us all to upgrade to 10? There's something fishy here.

Yesssssssss: it's $$$$$$$$$$$$ Through reduction of cost of support... and easier targeting of applications...

My hope is I'll be rid of the nagging window when the free upgrade period is up. But I'm slowly starting to fear Microsoft will extend the free upgrade period when nearing one year..

That's good, because I still can't figure it out myself.

Functional Programming is the great paradigm shift that is sweeping through software development. Prepare yourself for the cutting edge!
Especially for those who loved the "Programming Trends" item

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I assumed it was a joke about the way many functional languages order their syntax.

Because it's not a serious article, it's a comical put-down of the FP paradigm by someone who clearly doesn't understand it.

There is a series of articles on learning Haskell called "Learn You a Haskell for Great Good". I presumed he was riffing on that theme.
