At least windows explorer has some great extension utilities like File Menu Tools; a tool that can be configured to cover pretty much every file explorer extension usecase you can imagine. OSX and XDG (Gnome etc...) based systems have nothi

Agreed - As a minimum if the caller has no caller ID I don't answer unless I'm expecting such a call. If I answer the phone and get a long pause or clicks before I'm talking to someone, I'm very dubious of who I'm t

I don't think that Lillium uses variable pitch blades. Also, using multiple fans will lower the chance of catastrophic failure due to loss of one or more fans. For example, A system with only four fans would mean loss of a single would

I've been watching this space for quite a long time and this company seems to have the engineering and backing to make it happen. From a safety perspective, this design has a potential for massive redundancy over several other designs

What gives you this impression? They have amazing engineers and huge backers. My impression is that they are one of the most likely to succeed in this space.

I was about to say the same. iocage is now the default jails wrapper on FreeNAS, which means that there is good documentation and support. The previous jails wrapper used by FreeNAS was not very well documented, but was written by some smar

How hard is it to compile these days? I recall trying to build several years back for Electron development work on Ubuntu and it was a royal pain in the butt.

I remember my management trying to get me to take over a GWT based spreadsheet like app for managing FMEA's. The developer only used it because he did not now JavaScript and had no desire to learn. It was developed with zero thought in

Love the idea of multiple tables in one view, rather than having to switch between tabs.

I switched about 8 years ago. Tried OpenSuse for several years but have settled in on Ubuntu with ZFS root on HPE ZBook G2 and Z workstations. The only thing that may draw me back is the Apple M* chips.

I agree completely about Graph DB's. I used a third party Graph database that was schema heavy on Nodes and edges and it was amazing for mapping business processes as the customers can actually understand the data model and we did not

To OP - You sound kinda like me. I went over to Ecco Pro when I started doing programming as the amount of information coming into my head was way too much and I needed something that had low overhead seamless moving and organization of dat

I had a teammate state that Gates at the beginning of functions were also spaghetti code. E.g: If <condition>: return. My teammate had learned that rule. from his CS teacher. I use Gates regularly as they reduce the need for indentati

Agreed. I was amazed to see how much coding time is wasted by people trying to do some data cleanup job when it can be done so much easier and safer with no coding by: 1) Exporting he data to a spreadsheet 2) Massaging the data in the spre

I did not leverage any VBA or VB. I learned to code in VBA and written way too much code in that space and was well aware of the limitations. I'm pretty sure the way it went was, on check-in of a new version, I had a Java program that

I have automated snapshots of the Windows VM which are backed up to a remote ZVS Pool. This protects me from BSOD corruptions. BSOD corruption can be avoided with bare metal windows but it takes a bit more work. Performance is fine. I don&#

Just a personal preference. I will only install windows on physical hardware for gaming or GPU intensive purposes. I don't see much advantage to using ZFS on a VM guest except for bitrot protection. This can be accomplished using SMB s

I'm pretty blown away that there is an active OpenZfs on Windows Project ongoing. Personally I would not likely use ZFS for a Windows desktop but for Servers, might be handy. For desktop, I always virtualize my windows on a host that h
