> To our great surprise, we've found that our codebases have a lot more declarations than assignments, so it makes sense to require the extra keyword on assignments because they're rarer. I actually love this statistical approa

This is it right here, a similar analogy this brought up was car manufacturers of old making an excuse that fatalities were the idiot drivers fault and not because of the inherent lack of safety features of the vehicle. It's too damn e

A lot, the iPad is not a computer period. It's great hardware (that has the same CPU as the MBP) with extremely limiting software, low hanging examples of limitation would be the how iPads fail to utilise any monitor properly, inabilit

You could simply place `l.unlock()` underneath the function call to remove the overhead of the defer.

Containerisation software adds so much more than just a binary with layers of indirection. Easy fine grain control of individual application memory, namespace isolation (container to container communication on a need to know basis), A-B tes

I echo this sentiment entirely.. mutli dev-environment, multi-machine / os things really just work. Docker et al also really shines with onboarding, the new recruit can literally get up and going in minutes. I would not want to go back

From a personnel safety standpoint (what a catastrophic failure looks like in each case), a unit installation cost standpoint (fabricate x amounts of bricks with x tolerance in the grooves plus a crane with y units of generation on top) an

Would a better design not to bore downwards instead of build upwards? This seems like such an over-engineered concept that could be simplified and compartmentalised drastically. There's a whole host of negatives I see in this implement

Another commenter echo'd this here but it's the same for me. I find running WSL2 on windows easier to get up and running and way more stable than running Linux and macOS which just 5 years ago would be the anectote of a crazy pers

This sounds like a cool project. Considering its a journalling app and I'm assuming the user just enters plain text, have you experimented with compression and decompression before and after the SQLite storage?

Now go dig up the numbers of black men and women put in jail in comparison to the population. Go look up the numbers of police stops of black people in comparison to the immediate city populous. You don't have to be shot and killed for

You are wrong. I currently use VS Code insiders daily on ARM with all my extensions working. https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_46#_windows-arm64-i...

Currently running docker using WSL2 on an ARM laptop. So it's pretty much native Linux, as an anecdote I can tell you that it's just that much more stable than with my Mac or with a traditional Windows laptop. The only downsides i

I'll have to dig around and find relevant phoronix benchmarks later for you. But I think it's somewhat of a hive-mind assumption that Intel has generally higher performance all round. A majority of benchmarks show that Intel is ge

This is exactly what I have found. I know a bunch of developers (myself included) that went from Macs to Microsoft's surface line. WSL2 has been an absolute game changer, there's something liberating about being able to launch dis

Edge Chromium and Firefox (both ARM native) is better in both speed and RAM usage, you can grab normal chrome extensions in edge Chromium too so there's literally no loss.

"fisher-price-style". Some people just want to get to work on a machine they are comfortable with rather than worrying about the looks of their machine.

Windows 10 can already run GUI apps using WSL and an X server. Microsoft is planning to build a native X server so it's frustration free. Personally, I cannot wait.
