This is great news. Thank you very much for the explanation.

Will I be able to "burst" from on premise into Azure in this model? I'm in the process of deploying cloudstack/Ubuntu MAAS now for my on premise (and generally longer duration deployment) needs and using Azure for when I need rapid setup/teardown or a large amount of capacity (on demand).

If I could have one stack locally and in "the cloud", I would be VERY happy (especially if it's all tied in with AD, federated etc).

Have you ever tried MobaXterm? I use that as my daily driver shell and am very happy with it! Both for ssh to remote boxes and as a local command prompt

I get rendering problems with my font (BDF UM+ Outline), and find it has broken mouse reporting. e.g. in tmux, vertical splits aren't rendered, and clicks result in spam being written to the shell.

Also couldn't feel more clunky if it tried, impressive as its feature set is.

I've recently purchased the parallela board:

http://www.parallella.org/

It's got USB/ethernet/arm cpu , and has been incorporated into numerous other projects. It's ~$100.00 USD.

I second the parallella, not only does it have an FPGA, an arm core and a massively parallel cpu. So much to play with and still running Linux so the workflow is super smooth.

How do you know? :) (I'm kidding of course....) <no signal>

What a dumb joke, reminds me of that stupid Candlejack meme.

We get it guys, he comes and takes you while you're typing. Enough is e

Exactly. Rob was just being an annoying prick.

You absolutely were being an annoying prick. The best thing you can do is own up to it and apologize. Definitely not what you're doing right now, what with the whole "jees, what is your issue" thing.

The reason he's so touchy about it is he's a narcissistic annoying prick. He only did it for attention since people pay attention to bullies, and it requires no work or intelligence unlike being paid attention to for contributing constructively. Call him out as an obnoxious bully and his ego can't stand it.

This series of comments is absolutely disgusting.

Most professional developers will view this as a shameful and classless move on your part.

Maybe you overestimate how funny you are.

Yes exactly. Most large organizations (with in house counsel) take feedback from software/systems engineering very seriously. For compliance (especially licenses) contract requirements etc. Legal exists to serve/protect the organization.

Do you think this is how companies price their goods?

I mean, sure you should calculate a bare minimum rate. But you should charge as much as the market will bare.

Of course you should have a budget, but what does that have to do with the value you're providing as a consultant?

If you're asked why your hourly rate is $X, are you going to reply "because I have expensive hobbies?"

I actually would of reacted the exact same way. It's clear that this is a completely new dev environment and an intentional divorce from xcode/eclipse etc. The people interviewing couldn't get that. They showed zero understanding of the problem space. They were clearly stupid.

It's always possible that they wanted to see how the team would react to those types of questions. We had a very similar experience during our interview (asked questions that we thought were clearly explained in the application).

There was a bit of discussion on this topic yesterday here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9147252

The people interviewing want to be educated on why the current solutions aren't good enough. Being snarky or dogmatic isn't a good way to educate someone who wants to learn. The founders could have done a better job.

Spaces. Use them. I read "musthave" as "mutshave" :)

Come to think of it I'm never sure how to write those 2-part words being a non-native speaker. I just go with what seems right :)
