Frankly, WINE/Proton are likely more consistent targets for game dev/testing... I wish they'd at least do that much more often than not. At least smooth out any rough edges. I would say it's a lot different, since it&#x

Is there something wrong with the many distros that make Steam a really easy install, or in the box? I mean Bazzite literally has a FS Steam option in the box for installers that's pretty close to the Steam OS experience with broader

Even in windows, happen to be working in a locked down environment without benefit of WSL/Docker even (pushing for it actively)... Even then the git tooling that installs includes bash (and other msys build nix tools), I've also g

I've either imported or created a sql template function that does exactly that... takes the parameters, forms a parameterized query against the database and returns the results back. Easy enough to add Typescript types that should mat

For me, it's mostly that I'm more comfortable with TS/JS ecosystem... Deno is really nice in that you can import module references directly... I guess you can do similar with uv installed and have dependencies in comments in

Should be able to get better shebang detection for Python similar to this one I requested for Deno/TS ... no longer need the .ts extension for my local use. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/2878

I can just as easily do this in a TS file with Deno and fetch() ... not only that, but it's 1:1 to what I can now put into a browser and work with. Beyond this, I can (re)use client libraries to work with examples, create one-off utili

I've just started to assume I'm in an environment where shebang works and put my scripts to do repeated things under ./run/* ... generally bash if it's simple TS/Deno if it's more complex. Deno has been a

I've started naming my scripts directory "run/" instead of "_scripts/" because it's been easier to type... favoring over the discoverability of the _scripts at the top of my editor's file sidebar

The differences between different environments can vary a lot... many shell scripts rely on certain external programs being available and consistent... this is less true across windows an mac and can vary a lot. I've found that Deno wi

Hard disagree... I find that Deno shebangs and using fixed version dependencies to be REALLY reliable... I mean Deno 3 may come along and some internals may break, but that should have really limited side effects. Aside: I am somewhat disap

I tend to keep a run/ directory in my projects (used to be _scripts to find easier, but now I favor the write-friendly ./run/dev or ./run/dbup, etc). Some of the scripts are bash, but many are TypeScript via Deno...

+100 ... We definitely need a "super upvote" that you can use say 100 pts of karma to give to a comment.

Works for me, since I can use it in a browser in Linux... Though some of the new features really tick me off.

If you're using C# this is pretty much your best bet IMO... I think MS really missed the boat by not having a Linux target for MAUI, even if it was just passthrough to GTK (Or Qt).

I read it as Winamp myself at first pass. I don't care as much for the UI today, but really did like their Android app, and am sad it's no longer available. One of the better audio apps I'd tried on Android.

I made a small suggeestion in VS Code's Github repo.. it got assigned to a GH Copilot bot, that did the implementation, manually added a couple weeks later and now in release... I was a bit impressed, but then started looking at some

I definitely wouldn't be surprised by bugs and/or compatibility issues over time. Especially in the near term. I'm mixed, but somewhat enthusiastic on Turso's efforts to create client-server options and replication. In

At this point, I mostly avoid prescribed medications and don't take very many things at all regularly. Mostly because I've had some of the worst interpretations of the side effects of most medications I've ever been on. The

While a bit nifty to have this available in the TS/JS ecosystem for web usage... I'm not sure it'd be my first thing if I were using such a thing as a CLI. Adjacent... I am somewhat curious if a well crafted rust library&#x2F

And this is a big part of why I don't own an iOS device, and likely won't be purchasing another laptop from them, despite liking the hardware generally. Not that I like Google much more re: Android and locking down side-loading mo

I've been pretty happy with Pop in general, I did upgrade to COSMIC pre-release about 6 months ago, and although there have been rough edges, less than some of my Win11 experiences. I don't really fiddle that much in practice, I

No, it really shouldn't be... You can reduce headcount a lot, which they did, and concentrate on bugs (including security reports), while working with hardware vendors for if/when new features need to be integrated for better usa

Where would those IPs route to/from if it didn't have a configured default gateway exactly? The machine got a single IP, I had to route the CIDR block using that IP as the gateway in the host OS. The VMs wouldn't just get as

I'd say even then it depends... for some things WSL+Docker on Windows is better thn certain headaches with Docker on arm Macs. Which, similarly has more than convinced me to fight for PostgreSQL over MS-SQL everywhere possible.

Before MS really started mucking things up the past few years, I was referring to WSL as my favorite Linux distro... MS took a LOT of the rough edges off in terms of development.

Except the problem is their UX more than the kernel itself. I don't see them keeping Gnome or KDE as a desktop UI even if they did fully adopt Linux for desktop usage. MS should really just buckle down, finish simplifying the UI and m

AGAIN this is NOT what I was referring to... I'm referring to when you start typing in the name of a program you have installed, and you get a short list of matches, with maybe additional results... not a PRODUCT ADVERTISEMENT (not
