So we can return to a world of conventional warfare amongst powerful counties? Worked out great for WWI and WWII. Ill take nuclear deterrence any day over that hell.

Im all for setting up the equivalent of leprosy colonies for anti-vax folks that want to be left alone. They can be left to their own devices and free to live without vaccinations away from the rest of us.

As others have noted, this is one of the areas Go really shines at (and I am not a Go fan). The lack of language features really forces most code into a limited form of TOOWTDI and because it has pretty opinionated choices about loops, cond

Wat? I play games all the time on my Windows 10 + WSL2 setup.... which is exactly as I described: Windows running as a guest under Hyper-V alongside Linux.

It's pretty close. Big pain point for me still is that running an IDE from Windows and accessing the Linux FS is not quite as snappy as native-Linux (I use IntelliJ). So for now I still dual-boot. This is apparently being worked on...

Please elaborate on those "limitations". I really haven't seen all that much XML in Java recently outside of legacy applications... there's libraries for loading config data from JSON, YAML, etc etc.

I feel like comments like this often lack perspective. Upstate NY, especially Buffalo and Rochester have plenty of things to do in them and far more than five restaurants. It strikes a nerve with me because in Massachusetts a similar sentim

Ive been told in a lot if cases this is virtually impossible due to cost and structural constraints of office construction vs residential... notably ceiling heights, plumbing and floor plans are poorly designed for residential conversion.

I've owned T5xx and T4xx in the same timeframe, they're also high quality. Im not sure the X1 Extreme is part of the biz line... it's marketed at gaming or more accurately people that want a Work/Play device.

I think the lesson here is: 1. Don't get involved with VC's unless you want to take on all the problems VC's bring as they force you to chase hypergrowth. 2. VC's frame success as hypergrowth and 10-100x multiplier exits

The fragility of Dell's consumer laptops is why I continue to buy Lenovo's which are less sleek but have better durability and run Linux just fine. In recent memory I've had an X1 Carbon and X1 Carbon Extreme Gen 1 and been v
