These are really good questions. I've never used Conveyor, but hoo boy I've run into a lot of the same problems with MSIX. App Installer has a nice UX on the happy path, but then you quickly discover that it will just fail for a n

Stewart Brand wrote about how the building is a maintenance nightmare in How Buildings Learn. Guess he was right.

I'm not sure I understand the "Override network response headers" feature. Haven't the responses already been handled? Assuming no time travel, it's not clear what actually happens after you edit a response header.

The end game of this line of thinking is "we need to make cities worse to make them more affordable." It's not great. > If it's attractive, it will be expensive. That's how pricing works. No. Prices are set by bo

> Unlike most Docker environments, CodePreview usually builds in 5-10 minutes. Uhh... that's really slow. What is CodePreview doing to make it take that long? You could spin up a VM and copy a binary over to it much faster than that

Been a while since I looked at the details, but Explorer's file management is generally slow compared to what you can do with the actual Win32 APIs.

Good for them. It’s a fun website design and a breath of fresh air. People who complain about offbeat-but-still-readable web design are killjoys who indirectly contribute to the sterility of the modern internet.

You are effectively arguing that it's better for the environment if we spread out and use up more land per person . This is an untenable position.

I don't see the "shaming and shunning" aspect much, myself. When I do see it it's usually directed at people who are driving dangerously or fighting policy that would make it easier to live without a car.

Scenario 1: lots of land dedicated to car storage, people are spread out, commutes are longer and must be done by car Scenario 2: less land dedicated to parking, people live closer together, commutes are shorter and can more often be done b

Just having a portfolio of projects on my website makes some job interviews a lot easier; some interviewers ditch their script and start asking questions about my portfolio projects. I also find it rewarding to maintain and develop the we

Adding to the list: they can't even give birth naturally, so most are born via c-section.

Ehh, I feel like people use that as a justification for tiny dogs but it's not a great one. I have an 80lb greyhound in a not-very-large apartment and life is easy. Energy levels are more important than size (greyhounds sleep a lot )

I don't think you need to remember all of Nushell's commands (I certainly don't). You can go far with a handful of important ones; off the top of my head, get/select/where/sort-by/open are the most importa

You might be covered by one of the other package managers: https://www.nushell.sh/book/installation.html#package-manage... We also publish binaries: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/releases

Don't think we've had any requests for those, but we'd welcome contributions if someone wants to make it happen. For now, Homebrew works if you want a cross-distro way to install Nu on x64 Linux.

by ripley12 4y ago
I think Nu generally plays nicely with other CLI tools and data sources. For example if you've got an external executable that emits JSON, all it takes is `from json` to convert that output to a Nushell table.

I'm of the opinion that structured data is something PowerShell got 100% right; people tend to dislike PowerShell for other reasons (verbosity, startup time, Windows-first history).

Recycling my comment from last time this came up. Some reasons I prefer Nushell over PowerShell: - less verbose syntax - better cross-platform support (PowerShell is technically cross-platform, but it has some baggage from its Windows-first

Yeah, it's fair to say that the ceiling for what can be developed is higher in WPF. I'm unsure what problems with DPI scaling you're referring to. Last time I was working on a WinForms app (admittedly not an especially big on
