Dark mode to me is an accessibility feature. I've got dark floaters in my eyes. They contrast against light backgrounds making it difficult to read. The fact that they float around doesn't help. To make matters worse I have high p

I heard the "PHP is becoming like Java" argument in 2005 when PHP 5 came out. I'm surprised to hear it's still a thing. Funny enough I heard the same thing about JavaScript about 5 years ago when ES6 came out.

Except for fractional scaling if you use the proprietary NVIDIA driver. This was an issue on the latest LTS release.

It was a legal / trademark concern. Naming the thing Linux something something was deemed too risky so they went with Windows something something instead.

Be aware of the fact that WSL 1 and 2 can coexist. Running wsl -l -v from PowerShell should tell you which distribution is using which subsystem. You can change between the two. If you're using WSL 2 and you put your Linux files on the

I got tired of trying to make Linux on the desktop happen when XFCE told its users that not being able to resize windows by dragging their borders was "not as much of a usability issue as some suggest". When every Linux desktop co

A bare installation option would be nice but bundling software with operating systems isn't new. As sad as it may sound Candy Crush is the new 3D Pinball, which you could argue was an "ad" for the full version of Full Tilt! P

I'm a bit out of my element so I apologize if I'm missing something. Microsoft implemented cgroups and namespace analogues in Windows Server 2016 to allow it to run "real" Docker containers without the need for virtual m

I don't see an alternative though. If your deployment target is Linux and your development machine is not then you need a Linux VM of some sort to host your Linux containers. How would you implement "real" containers without

Expectations have been set unrealistically high and online communities like this one make matters worse. Big players with dedicated devops teams use Kubernetes all the time so why shouldn't I? It's only a matter of time before &qu

So you have Windows clients that use Microsoft Office, that's most businesses, and you want to move your server infrastructure (AD, GPO, Sharepoint) to the cloud. Where do you go? The easy answer is Azure. But why? Because getting Micr

The masks can be counterproductive if used without discipline or training. It's not uncommon to see people adjusting their masks and scratching underneath them constantly. The masks are transformed into virus concentrators and rebreath

It's interesting to see how Dart has almost been reduced to Flutter's Domain Specific Language.

I stopped going to the movie theater because the movie going experience has become garbage. They upgraded the sound system of every movie theater near me without also upgrading the sound proofing. Now you can't watch a movie without he

A lot of it has to do with standardization and training. If you go with Red Hat, for example, you get a bunch of certifications and training materials and standardized tools like Satellite and so on and so forth. It's easier to find so
