For what it's worth, `lxrun /uninstall /y /full` followed by `lxrun /install /y` will put the WSL environment back to "factory settings". Then as long as you don't try to look into the WSL side f

I imagine it's the same appeal as wanting to run JavaScript on the server. The more things you can do in one language, the fewer times you have to switch from thinking in one language to another.

All men are created equal means that they all have equal rights, not that they all have equal ability. I have a daughter with a recessive genetic disease and two children without it. They're already genetically unequal. Your argument

I know $5/month isn't all that much, but I still like to suggest Nearly Free Speech. Most static sites can be hosted for pennies per month.

Almost. `code.exe .` will do what you expect IF you are in a folder that's visible from the Windows side. If you're in a WSL folder, the Windows program will be run in C:\Windows\System32. It has worked well for me to make a symli

I like the idea of something that records your actions and creates a script, but for your particular case this would be super easy to throw together with Python and the Requests library. You just create a Session object and tell it to perfo

Regardless of how audited the code is, the DAO fiasco showed that the Ethereum miners will modify the "immutable" blockchain if it reaches an unpopular result, even when the bug is in a contract and not Ethereum itself.

I think it suffers a little from the Seinfeld effect, where it was completely original at the time but created enough of a following that it seems derivative when you go back to it.

That's pretty much what Netflix does with fast.com, only just for themselves. Opening that up so that other providers could use the fast.com name with their own backends is an interesting idea.

Not exactly what you're going for, but I feel like Elizabeth Trump & Son, now known as the Trump Organization, needs a spot on this list. (Elizabeth Church Trump, Donald's grandmother, was born in Bavaria)

One of the best phones I ever had was the Samsung SCH-i760 [1]. It had Windows Mobile with a touch screen and a stylus that expanded out of the side, but also had a physical number pad and a slide out keyboard. All the benefits of a smartph

I wish more movies would be done like Superman Returns. It was plain old 2D except for a handful of scenes where they flashed an icon in the corner to tell you to put on your glasses. You put them on for a minute, saw some cool 3D effect in

I think their biggest mistake was trying to follow Microsoft into .Net instead of taking over the native desktop development niche. A native Delphi 8 with some VB6 import tools would have done wonders for them.

Compared to C, the number of employers looking for rust developers is so close to 0 that it's essentially a rounding error. I really like rust, and I think it's worth learning, but it is definitely in the early adopter stage and n
