Cracked me up the other day when Ubuntu in WSL2 told me that I needed to install Firefox via Snap if I wanted to use it, but Snap doesn’t work in WSL2 because systemd isn’t being used.

I use it for running the automated browser tests with my frontend stuff at work. The code is in WSL, and running Cypress or whatever with browsers in Windows with code in WSL seemed to not work. But install Chrome/Firefox in WSL, and i

It’s used as the “system distro” for running support services and stuff before/between when distros are loaded. The distro userland sits on top of the VM running CBL-mariner (and I’m almost certain that when you run multiple wsl distro

Seems not very coincidental that this happens right after the new iPhone in the US went eSIM only, which means you now have to talk to your carrier to change phones instead of just moving your SIM over. (Unless this doesn't count if yo

They tried that at one point, I think it was called WebSQL? But it was decided that they didn’t want to make the quirks of sqlite3 a web standard since it’d be hard to do a clean room implementation.

Shoot, Lambda only goes up to 3.8. I miss the decent error messages.

It’s supposed to work (like, it’s an option in Rider’s project selection), but it can’t find MSBuild in the WSL. I’m guessing you’d have better luck if you just spun up a normal Linux VM though.

Shoot, I’ve seen it crash if you happen to have thousands of commits in the last month or two. Usually a refresh or two will make it slowly work, presumptively once the cache is warm.

Have you read the final hours of Half-Life Alyx? Because that’s where I got that impression from, and since it’s wrong, do you know what the heck it was talking about with the organizational changes to get Alyx released? Did I completely mi

This is pretty out of date (I remember when they first released it). The org chart stuff is wrong, in the last few years (around the time of Alyx) they moved to a more normal corporate structure so they would actually finish projects instea

UTM on iOS doesn’t have access to the virtualization extensions on the M1 chip (you need a private entitlement, ergo, a jailbreak). Without them, VMs will be painfully slow.

Doesn’t the rest of the DoD uses Office? Is this not going to cause a bunch of interagency drama from having to convert documents from Docs to Office? (or is there some big button you can press in the GSuite admin console to say “make every

GitHub uses it internally (using their Codespaces product, which also just lets you SSH directly into the VM it creates): https://github.blog/2021-08-11-githubs-engineering-team-move...

Most of the video conferencing apps of choice have a version where they run something on the thin client to reduce latency (going from the thin client to Zoom or Teams or WebEx directly instead of through the VDI). They have support for the

Well thought out Citrix and RDP setups have something like this, where certain apps are able to break through and use the local GPU (usually video conferencing apps, like Teams and WebEx).

My local Costco has had them for months. You have to buy it in a bundle with an extra controller and a game (and maybe a few other things), but it’s at MSRP for all those things.

Because our tests are already written with Cypress and we don't want to change again (we just moved from Protractor after Angular said it was dying, so we've already rewritten them once).

I will take this opportunity to ask: is there any way to make Cypress work with Safari? I saw they have experimental webkit support, but I don't know if that's Safari or the GNOME browser on Linux. (Maybe it doesn't matter, b

I wonder why they didn't just leave the play game page up and leave an engineer or two somewhere to make sure it still works. They could just start you a VM when you click play and kill it when you leave. Then they wouldn't have t

winget does almost exactly this. It detects apps that are already installed on your machine and if it can find a match in its catalog, it can upgrade it. (Of course you can install/uninstall via the tool if you have a fresh box). `wing

Is the idea with this that it'll be a data-only eSIM? I'm not seeing any mentions of phone service in the blog post (maybe it's just implied and I'm dumb). I think iOS and Android have support for multiple eSIMs where on
