Precisely what I meant. WSL runs containerized and it will not affect your OS experience. But any mistake on bare metal Linux terminal will, unforgivably.

I have a feeling her continuous rants on Twitter is because her overall demands and feeling of entitlement were stood down. She demanded things which would have been just another kind of shit show and targeted harassment. A social-justice t

This is not a joke comment (& shouldn't be taken as such): Please remind your team there isn't any fallback to any WSL goofups. If you make fatal/careless mistakes, it isn't as if another window or a reboot can fix t

I had some sympathies with her when the initial story broke out. But the continous flaming on Twitter, harping and retweeting her supportive followers and the performative activism for a select set of racial topic makes me feel she cares on

I have mentioned this long time ago and would do so again: No matter how righteous be the cause, threatening your employers and instigating a mutinous conduct with fellow employees doesn't go down too well. Both sides could have done

Since the backbone of the implementation is packed away in the library import, I felt it didn't quite show the code & variable interaction well enough. Don't get me wrong. It is useful & concise like you mentioned. But you

@vpj The only drawback I see is that much of the implementation is abstracted by your helper libraries. Not everyone wants to add an extra dependency layer. Otherwise the walkthroughs are super helpful.

I dread manually resizing tiled windows every single time now. This is especially true if others in my situation do code reviews on two side-by-side non-fullscreen windows. > Comment moved from other post.

Doing stuff on two different windows just became a bit clumsier every time e.g. code reviews. I can imagine manually resizing windows when in a tiling mode.

One of the things I dread is using two program windows side-by-side when doing code reviews. Most of the arguments are in the full screen hiding the notch with a black title bar. What if you don't use it FS all the time? The notch wou

I have a feeling that if they had released an updated Mac Mini with the new chips, it would have appreciably dented the sales of new MacBook Pros. Too many people don't agree with the notch aesthetic and probably pair a discrete unit w

Funnily enough, WW2 is taught in a very sanitized way. Its more along the lines of "we had disagreement, we had a war, we were all somewhat wrong. let's move on and be peaceful". People take offense if you prod along the topi
