No not really. We have found a few smaller players but their ability to scale concerned me. We talked to one and I asked "if we do a new acquisition and I need 2000 Mac desktops in a month. What would you do?". I was surprised tha

Not that I have found... My team runs our virtualization infra for end user computing (VDI) and our dev div runs almost entirely on MacOS. One of the frequent requests we have as we scale out more globally is to get virtual Mac desktops. Th

I love the theme of this blog but the side bar just disappears when scrolling which is kinda jarring.

Good lord, HN nerds are just as bad as the Instagrammers they detest. Nobody is going to makerspaces and losing fingers and whining on social media.

'actual stupidity'... gotta love the general disdain of the 'run of the mill business drone'... It's funny my wife is a run of the mill business drone. She thinks IT is a bunch of assholes. I would say she is probab

If that was the video I saw yesterday.... wow. That pilot should be thanking every god from every belief. That missle just barely missed him.

Zero to hero... no not really. The printing part isn't that hard to pick up. The designing complex models with complex tools is a real mother. Youtube is a good place to start with tools like Fusion 360.

Yep this has been my experience as well. Especially with Accenture. That said, someone quoted above, they have 700k+ employees. Im sure there is a ton of bad apples to go around. I have spent 20 years + in Financial Services and was always
