Must have had extremely cheap rent, be very frugal when it comes to eating and basically any expense, really. In rent alone I pay $10.5k/year (with what most people here extremely cheap rent). When I still was in school living off scho

Ah, different usecases then. I pretty much tend to go containers from A-Z for anything non-trivial, thus WSL1 was more or less useless for me. IO is also a big problem, just running a simple git status on a bigger project is a PITA.

Found this guide a couple of days ago[1]. Looks awfully convoluted and impractical. Good if it works, but I personally draw my line of acceptable minimum functionality somewhere between "working" and "practical". This is

WSL1 was more or less the reverse-equivalent of WINE as I understood it, more or less a translation layer for a subset of syscalls, the approach is awfully limited from the get go. Not sure how using a VHDX or partition would solve that. We

WSL2 is backed by an actual virtual machine, so it comes with the limitations of its hypervisor (Hyper-V). Hyper-V doesn't support full USB passthrough. AFAIK it does support passing down USB volumes though.

Yeah it's actually pretty damn good. Performance was better than it was with WSL1 for me, at least (especially IO). IIRC they are exploring USB passthrough using Hyper-V sockets, but it's still very early to actually talk about ha

If you copy over files directly built by your build steps, sure, you don't really need diffing images, you know where things are. If you're trying to build a minimal image with some specific dependencies copied over that are the r

Until they allow USB passthrough (which is more or less blocked by the fact that Hyper-V itself doesn't seem to have the feature), a whole bunch of my use cases are basically barred from WSL2. Shame, cause otherwise I really, really en

There are ways, but they aren't particularly obvious and are more work than they should. With some elbow grease involving multi-step builds, snapshots and diffing the resulting images to copy only the required files into your final ima

I've had the exact same amount of major issues using either stable or rolling release distributions. Using one of the other just changes when/why I have to work around the distro. Arch usually has more small "papercuts"

Woah, that guy seems dead set on providing Google with everyone's metadata for some reason. As if we didn't have enough to worry about on the internet.

Tangential, but I'm quite happy you put "literally unusable" in quotes and made it clear you were talking about your own use case, and not criticizing the product as a whole based on how you prefer to work. Too often do I see

Opinion is opinion, thus me explicitly calling it opinion. My take is honestly supported by the very concept of faulty generalization fallacy - given that you did confirm you based this claim on anecdotal evidence - if you ask me, but maybe

Not huffing at all, you basically just confirmed yourself my very affirmation: you pulled that out of thin air. Feel free to think it, still doesn't make it neither neither true, false nor demonstrable. As to the pretentiousness of the

What a pretentious (and wildly indemonstrable) take.

Wow. Violently disingenuous.

More or less the takeaway I got as well. The very idea of comparing C++, Elm and Elixir is silly in itself. What a joke.

That's making a lot of assumptions. They simply might be more prone to write, read and react blog posts as a general rule. Their work is also more visible than most developers' work, being customer facing. Gotta also keep in mind

It couldn't be more subjective than that. This, and color schemes. Having any kind of argument over the subject is an utter waste of time indeed, as it ultimately boils down to preference.

Some HN users love to look down on front-end development as if it's some sub-par category of developers, for some reason. Let's do the same kind of pretentious generalization - I'd wager they are the same who think any langua

I have two partitions for this very reason. One partition has all my development stuff, including work tools, second partition is on Windows and doesn't have anything remotely work related on it.

For accessibility compliance, you _need_ text and a DOM. Screen readers rely on HTML element semantics, ARIA attributes, and text content. The only way to make a canvas element (which is what you'd typically need to render custom UI) a
