The thing Docker Desktop (and analogues like Podman Desktop, Rancher Desktop, etc.) is useful for (a) is setting up a Linux guest VM so that you can run Linux containers and (b) doing some socket forwarding magic so that when you run the `d

Besides the way Apple puts a hard limit on the number of those you can spin up, don't they also virtualize hardware and run their own kernels? That's just not the kind of virtualization that containers are.

LINQ, Splunk, and KQL are all proprietary. For the purposes of setting new standards, they might as well not exist. PRQL is the only real entrant in your list when it comes to adding a pipelining syntax to a language for relational queries

The issue is just that Nix-Darwin doesn't 'own' your system, and it's conservative about blowing away existing files when installing files that it has generated. So if it detects that some file it wants to install confli

Can't tmux's built-in mouse support¹ handle this? Just add set -g option mouse on to your `tmux.conf` and tmux will do mouse selections for you and won't cross pane boundaries. You can use something like tmux-yank² to

Worse still, we lead kids to believe that 'doing math' is performing computations. And so even many kids that can calculate passably grow up thinking that 'math' is boring and they hate it.

What Nix can bring to the Python ecosystem is the ability to actually manage all of the non-Python dependencies that drive most useful Python code, and to install them in a portable way. On my team we use Nix for actually distributing our P

You can always plug your own router into the LAN port of a shitty ISP's combo modem/router device, too, even if they won't give a connection to any other device than their own and they defeat all your spoofing attempts. I hav
