Thanks for the recommendation. Exactly what the parent commenter was asking for.

The plan that they seem to be following is to convert VS into a completely managed memory product and then move to 64 bit. It's easier and doesn't introduce a feature-freeze period for a project the size of Visual Studio.

If you could give me a brief list of what features you expect from such a tool I'll be happy to take it up as a project and release it.

You can simply pipe top's output to a file using something like cron. There is a very good tool for boot times though integrated into systemd. Call it using `systemd-analyze`. It has a lot of subcommands you can check by `systemd-analy

Yes, because it's only a 2D stereo image and live in only a single focal plane - so no depth.

Hah, funny you ask. I was able to siphon off internet quota in my college using a combo of brute-forcing and previously known passwords. Worked quite good until my conscience got the better of me.

If you set up your Linux distro from scratch you can easily manage under 200MB of RAM. I have an LFS I set up which idles at 150MB or so. A LOT of stuff is bloat in modern distributions. I recommend everyone to try and build an LFS (Linux F

I think this has to with community. The Arch community moves pretty fast and forces users to go look up packages online and comment/vote on their state which results in packages being both promoted to default repos and getting thrown o

Quanta magazine is my personal favourite. They are like XKCD's Thing Explainer for complex things. Check out my favourite article to get a taste of it. https://www.wired.com/2015/09/tricky-encryption-stump-qua

Am I missing something here? > Secure Boot, which even now requires FOSS users to purchase a license from Microsoft to boot FOSS on affected machines that lack an appropriate Secure Boot override. I recently installed rEFInd from source

codingame.com is one the best casual coding websites there is. The games are all interesting and go on to teach and illustrate concepts. The contests are also really cool. Social coding brought to a whole new level.

This demands the question - why allow control characters in file names at all? Non-printing characters?

Well, it's a filter bubble. You can find enough people in both mindsets. It's mostly not related to pay -- related to job satisfaction, career growth options etc.

Yes. Sockets are available in Insider releases though but I/O still remains a pain.

IntelliJ IDEs are bloated compared to VS2017. VS2013 and older were the slowest and most unreliable IDEs, followed by Eclipse and IntelliJ but VS did manage to wake up and VS2017 is a breeze while IntelliJ haven't made much user-facing

Now it's just 400MBs if you only want C# (WPF + WinForms) Desktop apps. My workloads add up to around 12GB (C#, UWP, ASP.NET, .NET Core, NodeJS, Python, F#).

sshd works I guess. I can start sshd on WSL and connect to it using ssh from Visual Studio to build my C/C++ code on Linux using gcc. Maybe there are some others features of sshd you are talking about that I may not know about.

VCpkg is so much better in my opinion than installing library devel packages on linux. Makes it a pain to keep track of them. Also the code completion and refactoring capabilities are itself worth it. You can now also compile using the gcc

Well, I think there's a lot to learn about management then. This makes it interesting. Nobody in my family (even extended) works in tech and the places they work at management exclusively means managing people by giving them work and t

I agree. Skills should be transferrable. I've seen friends who can do mail-merge in Word but cannot navigate the internet on a desktop with the ease and speed I can because they learned mail-merge in school but never bothered to browse

I am not closed to the idea of management. I will likely try it once (once qualified enough) to get a feel for it and decide for myself if I like it or not. My impression doesn't come from the pop culture portrayals but rather from peo

Wow, I think you have written down what makes me not want to go into management (I've just graduated). The feeling of "seeing"/"measuring" impact (either code churn or shipping or affecting people) is a very go

I heard about some reasons why open-sourcing software is a little difficult when MS open-sourced Windows LiveWriter as Open Live Writer. The reasoning is that a lot of the code/supporting tools that they use have non-permissive license

Is it possible to file an RFC to IETF for these kinds of solutions? I see lot of great ideas but never see anybody proposing them anywhere, why?

And RHEL is also not free. So where do they save money compared to Windows? In that case they will be supporting FOSS but not due to it being good "for them" but out of a moral high ground.
