I came to the comments wondering about this. I have always wanted to learn chess, beyond the basic rules, but never dedicated to it. I think I had some version of Chessmaster, but didn't really do much with it. I just don't know i

Yeah, I have never been sold some future utopia here. There are plenty of reasons to fund NASA, and that is not one that is on me mind. Its $22.6B budges is a small fraction of the US total budget. Something like 0.5%. There are much larger

I am really curious just how common this is. I know that article existed in 2013, but how many people read it and agreed with it? If you produced a large survey across a broad age range and diverse set of background, how common is this? The

I always attempt to write, even on Slack or other chat programs, in such a way that no unintended tone comes across. To me it feels like I have failed in communicating if an emoji is necessary to convey a message. I honestly cannot think of

I have been chatting via text, as a major form of communication, for more than 20 years and at least 2/3s of my life. Before this thread, I have never even contemplated a period having any meaning more than the end of a though. And I c

I guess that is how I know I am getting old? I have never even heard of anyone thinking a sentence ending in a period is anything but normal. And I actually detest the use of exclamation points. They are almost always unnecessary. And I pro

I am curious about that. It is GeoJSON (RFC 7946). So you can certainly still read it, but you just can't access to the specification itself? You don't need the spec to reverse engineer it, its all in plain text. There are other a

How many more engineers would Microsoft then hire to maintain the Linux kernel? My guess is it would be approximately equivalent to what they already have now. And, there a definite feature differences in how the kernels behave, so they wil

Poker has always fascinated me, and I would like to learn it more. I think I would be into it much more if online poker, for actual money, were legal in my state. I find that people, including me, play vastly differently if its all fake and

Definitely cool, but seems to be missing some data. Even in areas that they seem to have coverage. They have PJM covering the Mid Atlantic region, but none of the actual local companies doing it. Dominion Energy has ~1.5GW of Solar in VA al

Doesn't the use of the CLI require the manual setup process in the demo video? With the login and configure? If I don't want to manually setup each machine, is there any war around it? I saw there are service tokens, but I think t

Looks really interesting, and potentially useful. I looked around, but didn't see much about a few things, which are probably not standard use cases: Do you have thoughts about using this on other systems. Bare metal, VMWare, or maybe

Its interesting, I looked at that page earlier (~1145 EST) and it was actually tagged as an "Outage" rather than the "Incident" it is right now. For me it has only been slow performance all morning. Its not good, but not

If you don't opt in, they shouldn't have the data to release. At least until they swap it to an opt out quietly.

Looks really useful, but that's software side. Hopefully other versions will be getting that update as well. Wouldn't make sense to gate that behind the Pixel 5, but maybe they will.

Why do you want to run VSCode from inside WSL? The Windows version can be fully integrated with WSL. Windows handles the GUI, Linux handles the CLI and all that. [1] I have not found any need that it does not meet this way, but as I mention

Like many others, I got very confused by this branding. Its a Chromecast (4k60 HDR HDMI Dongle) that is running Android TV (Which they appear to be calling Google TV). And a remote control with voice controls. [1] Not sure I see any reason

Yeah, I have a few things that keep me in Windows. The primary users of the apps I work on are all on Windows, so having a Windows box around tends to be useful to check everything is good. ArcGIS - Windows only, has enough issues as it is,

Yeah, I do have a narrow focus though and don't use any Linux GUI apps. Its been a while, but if you run an X11 Server on Windows you can make many things work, though definitely not all of them. And I know its getting better. I tend t

They are running it on Windows. It attempts to deny all outbound traffic if the VPN is not connected, but the WSL2 traffic does not follow that rule and gets out anyways.

by Bedon292 6y ago
WSL is actually really good. To me, it gives you the best of both worlds. Linux for dev stuff, Windows for GUI and games. And its actual Linux, so I am dev'ing a little closer to prod than those on Macs. But that's less of a facto

Docker on Windows can run on WSL2 backend as well. So I assume this would also apply to Docker traffic too. Other interesting note, Docker Windows does some funky stuff with firewalls too. It puts and any/any exception in the firewall

They don't really say how they are ranking things, it appears to be multiple metrics. They also removed porn, and I would not be surprised if they removed something like amazonaws.com since that just sits in front of s3 bucket. https:

Edge and IE are still a decent chunk of desktop traffic as well. And opening them with home page will probably kick off traffic to microsoft.com as well. Not sure how much that will be, but probably factors in. Edit: Although their metrics

Would you consider something like the Shield TV open source? There are some proprietary drivers, for things like Dolby Vision I think, but probably as open as you can get. [1] Or you could certainly set up a Pi / NUC to run Linux and P

For me, space is under the natural resting place of my right thumb. Enter on the left. And then the closer on each is backspace on right, delete on left. As well as layer toggling. It didn't take me too long to get used to the location

Worth noting that there are many different possible shells on the manuform. A handful of pre-generated ones, and you can tweak the scripts to generate the exact curves you want. I just ended up with the 5x6 myself. https://github

I love mine, I built mine close to a year ago at this point, but it has really shined lately. I have a traditional KB for gaming still but all my typing is on this one. A second might be in order, but this one was built from spare parts, so

We have a ban on clickies in our office, or did when we were in the office. I use clears most of the time, couple others do as well, and then lots of browns. A good mechanical keyboard, that isn't intentionally clicky, tends to actuall

Yeah its an interesting one. I tend to think of it in the context of, well you screwed up and deleted the wrong instance, but at least it wasn't that bad. I also think about the response to it. Sure it sucked that it happened, and some
