Yeah, I think to me the line between “competing by making our product better” and “competing in a hostile way” was crossed with WSL, because Microsoft is literally taking other people’s work and slapping it into Windows. I mean at this poin

But the RAM on ‘em was very low and as far as I know the cores only run C++ code, which I realize is what a lot of software is written in, including probably QEMU… can that last iteration actually run a hypervisor? I would have loved to be

The article mentions a 2020 paper from IEEE that suggests the radiation exposure from playing with the kit would amount to around 1 day’s worth of UV exposure, so it appears the kit was pretty safe. Of course if a child were to break open a

I think I’m conditioned to have reduced respect for managers because in my experience they are former devs who were “promoted” out of touching the code. As a result, when they offer technical advice, it’s bad technical advice, or at best me

No worries, I just have to imagine the downvotes are coming from people who aren't familiar with orthopedics, otherwise I don't see why they'd downvote... but downvoting reduces visibility, so potentally-valuable content is s

I'm sorry that PT was not fruitful. Frozen Shoulder is rough. From what I hear, the surgery route is a lot more successful, but it seems like the main roadblock is convincing a surgeon to perform the surgery. They want you to exhaust a

Carpal Tunnel Release is the most-common hand surgery in the United States, and it's estimated to have a success rate of around 90%. I have always thought the remaining 10% or so were misdiagnoses. I was misdiagnosed with CTS myself. I

I would want to know in which fingers you were experiencing the tingling/numbness/pain. Unless it was only in your pinky and ring fingers, it wasn't Cubital Tunnel Syndrome (or rather, not JUST Cubital Tunnel Syndrome - it is

Eh, read up on Cubital Tunnel Syndrome... it's illogical to expect "ergonomics" to resolve a muscular impingement of the ulnar nerve. "RSI" isn't a thing. It refers to an umbrella of conditions and therefore do

My experience has been that orthopedic surgeons are BAD at diagnosis. This is at least partially because they are always in such a hurry (in the US anyway). You were smart to persist and I'm glad you found a solution. Your solution is

I don't want do downplay what you have been through and all the effort you have put in to trying to get an accurate diagnosis, and I know how discouraging navigating the US medical system is, but there have been a lot of advancements&#

I do agree that Microsoft won't be able to extinguish Linux, especially through something like WSL, but they are attempting to retain market share for Windows desktop usage with it, and that's actually anti-Linux. The only reason

Microsoft created it to incentivize devs to stay on Windows for their dev machines instead of switching to macOS or Linux. It has no other purpose than that. As a result, that many more people are staying on Windows and Linux popularity&#x2

It's not beneficial to believe that you have "RSI". That's like saying you have "cancer" and are treating it with chemotherapy. What if you just had Thyroid Cancer, in which case you merely needed to take a spe

I'm not a doctor, but I'm skeptical that the author has/had Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. Similar to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, it isn't a condition that significantly improves, much less resolves with rest. Both conditions warr

It’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s well-known that Microsoft’s “M$ <3 Linux” campaign is propaganda. It’s classic anti-competitive Microsoft behavior that started with IE in the 90s.

I always hear good things about Ruby on Rails, yet it remains relatively niche. I first heard about Ruby + Rails in 2013, and ten years later it seems to be just as niche. Loved by those who use it, but niche. Why does it continue to strugg

It used to be very common across all OEMs, at least in the consumer space. I remember having to flash a modded BIOS on my 2012 HP laptop so it would boot with a WiFi + BT card. Back in those days it was uncommon for a laptop to have BT.

Yeah I can’t think of any. I mean if I had to come up with something, I would talk about tooling. MySQL Workbench (when it works) is by far the easiest to use and most feature-rich of all RDBMS.. MS. It runs on any OS too, which is a ding o

Actually I would argue that there isn’t a single reason to use MySQL over Postgres (barring the obvious- it’s what the team already knows, or the company already uses, etc.)

I think in practice this is going to work about 0% of the time. In the past I would tell recruiters “hey I meet all the criteria and the salary even looks good, but I’m going to need every Friday off”. The salary looks good @ 32 hours/

Yeah, ours is a field where we typically make multiple X what we need to survive. I took 6 months off somewhat involuntarily when COVID first hit and it kind of sucked because of the COVID lockdown, but I could see the potential. Of course
