Windows containers work* on Windows 11 Pro. That said, work is a strong word; Windows containers in general are pretty jank.

Totally agree for non-technical users. For anyone technical, and willing to suffer a little bit, go with Arch. The docs are incredible, and you end up with a much better understanding of how everything hangs together.

FYI, you've been hellbanned for seemingly 6 years. Probably the account name triggering a spam filter? Email hn@ycombinator.com, they may be willing to unban you, so other people can see your posts.

I'm surprised it continues to exist at all. The main content ltt puts out these days is purely mass market entertainment. Physical products are still pretty good!

Just switch to Linux. It's very accessible for anyone who might have an account on here.

You still can; its a pain in the ass tho. They keep changing it, I suspect in the hope that out of date tutorials will deter less technical users.

Ditto; ~20 years of dotnet dev, 1000+ games on steam. Couldn't be more baked into the ecosystem. Its just the work laptop left with windows now, and the team is working to support a non-windows dev env.

Docker supports either hyper-v, or wsl2 as a host for the Linux kernel - they generally push people towards wsl2. I vaguely recall wsl2 uses a subset of hyper-v the name of which escapes me atm.

Shush please. I wasn't old enough to cash in on the Y2K contracting boons; I'm hoping the vibe coding 200k LOC b2b AI slop "please help us scale to 200 users" contracting gigs will be lucrative.

Rider; however that's on a Windows work machine. We are a solid way to getting a linux/mac dev env going; maybe 30% is netstandard2.0, 10% is net9, the remainder net472 (including an old school non-sdk web app on IIS). Maybe ~ mil

Just pull the trigger. A surprisingly large amount of software just works on wine. I'm a c# dev with near 20 years experience, and I finally got the shits with advertising in the start menu. Arch Linux, because I figured why not do it

I'd love your thoughts on why it might be hardware. I reason that my hearing is generally fine - there's no issue picking apart loud complex music (I love breakcore!). But play two songs at the same time, or try talking to me with

Because it can use the full set of information of the audio - people with hearing difficulties cannot. Also interesting, people with perfectly functional hearing, but whom have "software" bugs (i.e. I find it extremely hard to pro

NZ is pretty unique, there is quite a lot of farmable land which is protected wilderness. There's a specific trust setup to help landowners convert property, https://qeiinationaltrust.org.nz/ Imperfect, but definitely

Ahh yes, software development, the discipline that famously has difficult to measure metrics and difficulty with long term maintenance. Months indeed.

Absolutely. Everyone has a price.

You could frame it a different way; what level of risk would be acceptable vs. the reduction in cost/time/use of resources. If you're 10% faster for 0.1% risk, is that a better outcome for society?

The suggestions generally still work towards my goal; this is a different phenomena to "holy shit the consciousness is trying to kill us again" panic switch. Maybe its some low level optimisation to reduce energy expenditure, so w

Anecdotally (but an experience shared at by at least some other long distance runners), when I get quite far into a calorie deficit via exercise, my brain will start suggesting shortcuts - urges to cut the corner on a trail, take a shorter

100% of the students I have been teaching (roughly 5 to 15 years old) are using chatgpt for almost everything. It's sometimes a struggle to get them to think for themselves!

I don't see that as a good analogy. There's very limited space for this functionality to be used legitimately / legally - anyone permitted to scrape content is likely able to access the data without the protection measures in

Are you concerned about making a product that does this? The legal aspect of accessing a computer system that is intending to block your use seems worrisome.
