I’m aware, though there’s some nice integration stuff that means you can run GUI applications and share the file system

Interesting fact WSLv1 was actually not a VM and it was the NT kernel speaking POSIX

Oh yeah, I’d say Windows in general just chomps through RAM, but there has been some times that WSL takes it to chrome-like levels

Technically the “Linux on Mac” is Unix based and not Linux, but I agree the dev experience is nicer on my Mac than Windows given the choice. Also rather than docker you can use the WSL stuff on Windows for a much closer to normal Linux dev setup (with a few weird edges).

I end up regularly using all three OSes, so it’s helpful you can finally get a serviceable dev environment on any of the common non-mobile OSes now.

Whenever I develop on Windows, I just use the built in Linux.

Tbh that’s the 80s and why these companies all exist today, Japanese economy was kinda peerless at the time.

You’re also forgetting the likes of Toshiba, Toyota & Fujitsu, who are also still very dominant in their respective areas.

Fujitsu is the one least attached to the consumer market, but what people don’t realise is a surprisingly large number of government supercomputer systems across the world run on Fujitsu systems. They don’t really have any competitors in that space any more.

Oh, so you choose violence?

First they came…

Well, my wedding gifts are usually proportional to what I imagine the couple have already spent for me to be there.

Someone who throws a wedding with accommodation and everything else all taken care of is going to get a bigger gift than one where I’m just invited to the evening do.

I guess the invite cost something to send so I suppose their gift would probably be about 50p max, if I could even bring myself to send anything.

Funnily if I wasn’t invited to a wedding of a friend for whatever reason and they didn’t send a card like this, I’d probably be more inclined to get a token gift as a congratulations anyway.

Coelacanths are pretty cool

Damn, imagine if you went to every game

If I was a fan I’d be sat wondering why they’d been happily talking a 75+% profit margin from me after I’d already bought a ticket to be there.

If they could just not, when they feel like it

3 hard problems in computer science

1. Cache invalidation
2. Naming things 4. Concur
3. Off by one errors

rency

No

Tin foil is basically self wrapping paper

Genuinely know someone that did this years ago

Also not a yank but I can definitely tell the difference IMO

Root beer tastes like medicine, Jaeger tastes like if Coca-Cola made an aniseed & mint version and you drank the syrup straight

SkiFree flashbacks

He’s been shitty on Gaza

I’m over the Atlantic from the US, it would be truly unusual if someone actually blew up at service staff like that, let alone that being a common enough occurrence to trigger PTSD-adjacent responses from them.

Are these OC? Because keep it up if they are OP, I’m enjoying your work

You can always see them bracing for the abuse when they tell us the issue.

What morons don’t even operate on the “you don’t fuck with people handling your food” basic rule, let alone just have basic common decency.

I think the difference here is you’d never own the phone. Stop your subscription and lose your phone. Most combined deals end up with you eventually owning the phone
