I would rather have the opposite. I would even pay for an official "Windows on Linux". There is a handful of games I would like to play, but other than that I have no interest in windows.
Shell and command line tools: Linux users can be more productive in Windows now. The command line interface is very confortable for do a lot of things. If you need to do batch work (rename a lot of files, onvert some images, add metadata to your mp3 collection), you can do it now in the console. Before this, the alternative in windows was to use a sub-par shell, or install several graphical application and expend your evening clicking here and there.

Applications: Now you can install and configure applications like apache, postquesql, etc. on windows in the same way you do in linux/other unix platforms.

Strategically, this is a big win for Microsoft. Now they can go to their clients that are moving or thinking about moving to Linux and tell them "There's no need to migrate, just install your apps in Windows."
Lobbyists: 1) get issues on politicians' radars; 2) provide them with data, arguments, and sample legislation to advocate for a position; and 3) convince politicians that particular measures will be favored by relevant constituencies.

It's almost never going to be the case that a lobbyist will convince a politician to support a measure they wouldn't otherwise support. Politicians all have agendas and preconceived notions. The most important thing lobbyists do is help politicians filter through he universe of proposals and convince them that particular ones fit within their preconceived worldview and platform.

I think many people have a hard time even conceiving that politicians could support big companies without getting some sort of kickback or campaign contribution for doing so. But a politician's first, second, and third top priorities are jobs. Big companies control the jobs, and for better or worse what's bad for big companies is often, at least in the short term, bad for jobs.
Good joke!
> They covered a lot of those -- SLI and VSync will get fixed in a May update, they showed off mods for Age of Empires II, they talked about overlay support.

Unfortunately, I've been around the block and then some. I've heard the empty platitudes of promises for X and Y features, yet later on it's considered inconvenient to implement. But as of right now, SLI and VSync are broken.

I did see the AoE2 mods. Having not played that game, I took those mods to not actually modify the base executable. In other words, it appears you can load in-game mods, but absolutely verboten to touch the 'executable'... because there is none in any usable form.
You nailed it. Their UI and UX are both just really bad but it's a kind of hidden complexity that sneaks up on you and you don't realize it until you actually start using the product. They also had a horrible (like, really....really bad) mobile app for the longest time and even their new one uses very very weird UX paradigms for no clear reason.

I'm not even old.
In Bootstrap 3 you shouldn't have to override anything.

I think I've found one exception which is the toggle button in the navbar element that seems to have some annoying defaults I have to override every time, but that's it.

(If your experience was with Bootstrap 2, then that explains your feelings, but that situation was pretty categorically fixed with BS3).
I see, so you would like to have the option to override the basemap by an URL parameter before sharing! Noted.
The underlying file system determines compatibility so there is no OS level switch to check.
Siri, Cortana, Google Now and others..Software agents are finally here. When I got my first notifications from Google Now some years ago it was the first time my phone actually felt smart.

If Microsoft and others can figure out good ways to open these to the developers I bet this will be pretty big thing.
>Microsoft does have the advantage of Linux being open-source

More correctly would be to say that Microsoft has advantage of user space libraries used in GNU/Linux distributions being open-source. Linux kernel itself being GPL2 is probably a problem for Microsoft's developers because of possibility to be accidentally exposed to it while researching documentation.
Windows does have symlinks and hardlinks that work very similarly but are only exposed via a built in cmd command. That said no one uses them.
It's weird to hear "win32" called "legacy". Last I checked everything from "wininit.exe" to "svchost.exe" to "winlogon.exe" were win32 (or win64) applications. Guess the entire base operating system is legacy! :O
I think the guy's shed any ... people who would think his lack of candor is a defect. You would not believe the amount of time this will save you in the long run.

Look, if you enjoy dysfunction have at it. But my experience is that you have to defend yourself from it, and the best defense is simply identifying it rather loudly.

There are many, many, MANY more people for whom you do not want to work than that you do want to work for.
I do not believe the FBI can legally report the vulnerability. They did not find it, they do not "own" it. They have used a service to get to the phone's data. Even if they reverse engineered the exploit used, it would be a breach of contract to disclose the vulnerability.
One of the reasons you use Windows is so you don't have to use the command line. But sometimes it's unavoidable—maybe you need to do some advanced git-wrangling, or you're developing in an environment with CLI-based tools that are far more mature than their GUI counterparts.

This viewpoint is just plain wrong. Since GUIs typically don't have a way of doing sequences of commands other than clicking and waiting, then clicking again, or of automatically making decisions, the biggest reason to use a CLI would be to express things that you can't with a GUI - like anything that requires a flow-of-control with if-then-else.

After all, that's one of the reasons that rebuses are fun - they're indeterminate and it's fun to de-ambiguate them. It's less fun to have to do all de-ambiguation yourself, when a simple pipeline or while-loop would do the trick.
I was beginning to learn org-mode a while back, but stumbled on this: there simply isn't a nice emacs for the iPad, which is what I have on me at all times.
If you just need bash on windows installing Git is the easiest way.
I feel it is related to Windows Server container. Maybe Ubuntu works like a Docker container on Windows.

Understood. Perhaps my comment was ambiguous. My question is "Would you rather speak to current and former employees about their experience at the company than to rely on potentially faked reviews, and if so, are you usually granted that request when made?"

I wasn't referring to any posts criticizing or praising a company's hiring practices, although those might be helpful too (coincidentally I believe they had an article here yesterday on their engineering interviews).

Given that the latter statement is from the article, how is the former "technically correct"?
Then why the hell has it been released already?
So "Linux on Windows" isn't really happening here. Binaries intended to run on Linux are just being tricked to run on Windows -- basically the same as Cygwin, with the minor benefit of not requiring a recompile.
I'm also a big fan of Fred Brooks' "The management question, therefore, is not whether to build a pilot system and throw it away. You will do that. […] Hence plan to throw one away; you will, anyhow."

How easy is it for you to know they don't serve Tor users unless you are a Tor user? This is like saying "Why don't colored people avoid restaurants that don't serve colored people?"
They are more than welcome to use FreeBSD's PMC support to roll their own implementation. But I predict they won't until another decade of beating their heads against broken tools and non engineered solutions, light through yonder window will finally break.

*BSD and Solaris have done have run linux binaries for years. Doing it on Windows is a bit more impressive, but given that there is a POSIX subsystem, its not all that surprising.

I didn't see any information about whether they do it using direct system call translation, or if they do it using shared library inter-positioning. In either case, its pretty cool!
What about the lack of middle-click paste and virtual desktops?
>>Why is -v the flag for "don't include" in grep?

As user yread said, it's for inVert (the sense of the pattern match, from "matches" to "does not match"). You're right, it is non-intuitive.

One of the issues is that when you use single letter options, a particular letter could potentially stand more than one expanded word, e.g. in the case of v, it is more commonly used for Verbose or Version. Even there, it varies. Some commands use -v for version, others use -V (e.g. python does), and some use --version.

GNU's long option format is a partial solution to that, but involves more typing. E.g. --verbose or --version or --invert. Also the command lines get longer then. No perfect solution as of now.

You're right, over the years, with more and more people creating commands, and with no well-defined standard in the earlier years at least, the whole scene of command line tool names and options has become something of a mess. Later one some sort of standards and conventions have been created or evolved, informally, but not many command creators necessarily follow them.

Also, they are pretty detailed, so it is somewhat time-consuming and complex to implement those guidelines in full.

It would be great if it would keep updating the distance as I drag the track along. Basically my use case is like this: I need to plan a route from starting point and it has to go for X number of miles. To satisfy that requirement I have to figure out which way to turn or which streets to take and how much farther I have to draw the route.

Here's an example of such a map:

https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zyGHTR9wg3w8.ki2OYJV5...

It would be great if there is a number under the cursor that tells me how long my current track is as I move the cursor and add waypoints and maybe another number to tell me the distance between the last way point and the cursor. Does that make sense?
It's good to have other people invested in the success of "your" company. Obviously if Asana needed extra cash and no one was willing to invest, Dustin could step in...but why do that when that's not the case?
Unfortunately that kicks the user out of your app and into Square's temporarily. And according to the TOS, the customer needs to be supervised by a merchant employee during the transaction. Ideally you would be able to handle the customer's payment seamlessly and unsupervised within your own app.
To clarify, it sounds like what Microsoft has added to Windows 10 is a Linux ABI.

This has been done before with other x86 OSes: FreeBSD has had 32-bit ABI compatibility for at least a decade (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/linuxemu.html), and the "lx branded zone" for Solaris has it as well (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19455-01/817-1592/gchhy/index.ht...).
Thats why you do it clean room style.

One team to document, one team to implement based on that document.

@comex, @Mathieulh and @marcan42 of @fail0verflow are very respected members of the community. I worked personally with @comex to develop the kernel exploit used in https://github.com/wiiudev/libwiiu. I can attest that he's one of the nicest and smartest hackers I've ever met and helped me learn a great deal about exploit research and development. Take these words with a grain of salt if you must, but I wouldn't immediately disregard the statements of @geohots peers regarding his character...I'm not contesting that he's brilliant (he certainly is and I can respect that). I'm just saying he seems to be a bit of an egomaniac and sociopath.
Yeah, this feels pretty shill-like, even if he does make it clear he's investing.

Though it's also the readers who are to blame for upvoting a low-content advertisement. From some random blogger this would have died or been called out as not worthy, from the Pres of YC everyone happily discusses Asana...kinda lame.
Does this make the development story much more clear? I was always confused about the differences between msys, msys2 , mingw, cygwin, etc.
Actually, a lot of what you see in Windows 10 is running on top of UWP.
Just upgraded to WMF 5.0 on Windows 7. Start time is much better now. 4 seconds vs 8 seconds on a 2nd gen i5.
Looks like the update is for both 2015 Enterprise and 2015 Community.
What? This is sick!? I can't wait for this to happen! Maybe I am gonna get one of those Surface Books after all... though I am gonna miss my i3 setup... I wonder if X (or wayland! or wayland...) can run as well... Native Emacs FTW :)

> what comes back from dir/ls/Get-ChildItem?

If you look at the note properties that get added to the objects, they're consistent across providers:

PS C:\> (Get-Item c:\).PSPath

Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::C:\

PS C:\> (Get-Item env:username).PSPath

Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Environment::username

PS C:\> (Get-Item HKLM:\software).PSPath

Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software

There's also some magic that you can do with tab completion to see the properties. For example, if you type...

(Get-ChildItem c:\ | sort).

...and hit tab, you can tab through the list of properties of the objects returned by Get-ChildItem when it's used on the FileSystem provider. (Don't ask me how the hell that works, though...)

Well I, for one, think he has a point. Part of what makes the shell so useful on Linux is, say, highlight-to-select. When the CMD.EXE doesn't understand line breaks in copied text, it's substantially crippled. You need a proper terminal to take advantage of a proper shell. They go hand-in-hand.

FreeBSD has been able to do this (with some limitations!) for years:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/linuxemu.html
To be more specific, darwin was originally based on BSD4.4-lite2 and FreeBSD with the Mach hybrid microkernel. It has diverged significantly since with lots of new APIs in userland, but all major BSD apis are still there - it is still a POSIX compliant system
No, we can't [agree about large-scale water table damage being remediable with feasible amounts of money].

Well, we disagree then.

As to the other stuff -- it seems you're doubling down on extremification techniques, attributing words ("uncountably bad") to me that aren't mine. All I can say is I don't find that line of reasoning helpful, and I don't know what to say to it.
I like Asana's product design a lot, my one complaint is that (at least as of when I most recently tried it a few months ago), it was so slow. I like for my personal todo list have very fine-grained breakdown of tasks and having each page of the UI take several seconds to load so I could check of one task and navigate to the next one managed to kill the sense of flow I had between tasks.

In the end I went back to Workflowy (YC S10 for life!), which doesn't have as strong team-collaboration features (as well as email integration and several other bells/whistles), but few of my teammates were already using Asana anyway, and Workflowy is delightfully fast and simple-yet-flexible enough to support a hierarchy that roughly maps to how I had projects set up in Asana.
From linux(4):

The linux module provides limited Linux ABI (application binary inter-
face) compatibility for userland applications. The module	provides the
following significant facilities:

+o	An image activator for	correctly branded elf(5) executable images

+o	Special signal	handling for activated images

+o	Linux to native system	call translation

It	is important to	note that the Linux ABI	support	it not provided
through an	emulator. Rather, a true (albeit limited) ABI implementation
is	provided.

"Mapping syscalls from one OS to another" was really just an example to give the OP an idea of how this sort of thing works without a VM.

Edit: Nevermind then
It doesn't sound much different than a built in VM with a some optimizations. Just more bloat for windows I suppose.
