Assuming you've ported all of your windows tools to linux desktop... Once you start work on a regular cadence I wager you'll find all those windows hassles are traded for bevy of new ones with linux desktop.

My current work jumps between .net and linux frequently. I've been lured by the notion of all work on a single OS. It is certainly possible. And I take a shot at it every 6 months or so. So far it still brings more hassle than practical benefit for me.

Tools make all the difference in efficiency. And if youre short on time and working on C#/SqlServer/F# then nothing currently gets the job done faster than the older/boring tech (for me that's visualstudio/vsvim/resharper on windows 7).

But I agree that SqlServer on linux + project rider may be enough to make practical cross-platform environment for my needs.

This is a great conversation and worth checking in on every few months
Which is only fair, Windows comes preinstalled also.
In Win 10 Anniversary Update you can specify active hours, when you use the device and it shall not be rebooted. Also, there's a setting for custom restart time.

"There is an irony to this. The first global computer networks took root in the US thanks to well-regulated state funding and collaborative research environments, while the contemporary (and notably independent) national network efforts in the USSR floundered due to unregulated competition and institutional infighting among Soviet administrators. The first global computer network emerged thanks to capitalists behaving like cooperative socialists, not socialists behaving like competitive capitalists."
Ask HN: What music are you listening to lately?
Hey, asking this partly because I'm kind of curios what music is the HN crowd listening and partly because for a year now I've discovered Tim Minchin and I think he's brilliant.

It was already clear in the late 70's and early 90's that C wasn't a reliable option to write safe systems.

Dennis M. Ritchie himself on the history of the language[0]

"To encourage people to pay more attention to the official language rules, to detect legal but suspicious constructions, and to help find interface mismatches undetectable with simple mechanisms for separate compilation, Steve Johnson adapted his pcc compiler to produce lint [Johnson 79b], which scanned a set of files and remarked on dubious constructions."

Lint which is still mostly ignored by the masses to this day. At CppCon 2015, about 1% of the audience acknowledge using static analyzers.

Per Brinch Hansen letter to C.A.R. Hoare in 1993a [1]

"The 1980s will probably be remembered as the decade in which programmers took a gigantic step backwards by switching from secure Pascal-like languages to insecure C-like languages. I have no rational explanation for this trend. But it seems to me that if computer programmers cannot even agree that security is an essential requirement of any programming language, then we have not yet established a discipline of computing based on commonly accepted principles."

There are many other sources of similar statements since C exists, so the hate isn't something new.

Regarding C++, yes unfortunately it inherits C flaws, but at least the community tends to embrace language features to improve the language safety and push for type based programming.

A much more useful comment would include why you moved back.
Thanks for contributing to the discussion instead of attacking my (apparently much misinterpreted) statement. There is a systemic problem with the bureaucracy around health in many countries, and western countries have diagnosed huge amounts of mental 'disorders' from children to adults in the past few decades. There is certainly a profit motive. However, there is also a reality that in an increasingly urbanized/automated/electronic communication based society, maintaining meaningful human relationships, a sense of self-worth and the will to often meaningless employment is clearly becoming gradually more and more difficult for many people. This is what I refer to when I suggest that the number of so-called mentally ill is perhaps only indicative of a problem of society. I think, in fact, that the people who respond to this reality with despondent depressive demotivation and feelings of helplessness, paranoia and anxiety are actually extremely rational. Perhaps more rational than the majority.
Windows updates fall into various categories in how they are deployed (this also causes variations in whether you need a restart or not). The overwhelming vast majority of updates nowadays are deployed in a rather safe mode where nothing on the system is changed during install until at the very end effectively a switch is made to the newly-deployed components. Those updates tend to not care very much, or at all, about sudden power loss. The next start notices there's an unfinished update and either finishes it, or rolls back and you can try again.
Isn't this the much-lauded and respected Erlang approach to failures?

And I, too! After discovering Autofac, I've not looked back. Before, I'd tried various DI frameworks, and always left thinking "I totally do not get what why people like this DI stuff". Then, Autofac. Everything just works. But - it's also powerful enough that if I need to do something really clever and/or complex, I can, and it invariably works.

It works just as well in Core. As such, it's usually the first package I install in a new Core project.
Please don't read into this post and the questions any more deeply than the surface, I do not have any intended judgement nor intend to imply anything. I'm trying to understand your post: I got your situation, but I'm missing the bigger points you are making.

> How on earth do you want people like me begging for a job? It makes no sense.

What do you mean with "people like you"? What is your problem? I'm taking the first paragraph to mean depress or some related disorder, but then you have

> In some meeting with other people with disabilities, I suggested that there should be companies whose job is to match candidates with companies directly, so that candidates do not have to move sky and earth to find a job. I think it's not even a problem of investment and risk taking, it's just that there is nothing to build or to make, except software and robots, which require education, which is always money-constrained, unsurprisingly. Either that or people don't want to work anymore, and it's fine, because work is less and less necessary.

Do you mean this would be a more systematic issue due to changes in labor requirements? Or that we currently have a shitty situation in job finding?
AMP is "HTML with some restrictions".

Speaks nothing of HTTP (otherwise they could've done the right thing and added a "text/html;amp=1" content-type).

In theory this should still work: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-...

But I doubt that Google's AMP cache will respect existing headers (the very nature of the cache stuff means that they won't, but what they will do to non-cache headers on an item is undefined AFAIK and so they will probably just strip them).
It would be amazing if every website were designed like Wikipedia. With the exception of MediaViewer, Wikipedia is one of the best-designed websites out there. It's light, content-prominent, progressively enhanced, HTTPS-only. Even their mobile site is pretty good (though basically all mobile experiences are bad nowadays). What exactly is wrong with Wikipedia's design?

Disclaimer: I worked at a bank before.

Yes, it is quite unusual. The banks only do it if they expect regulatory, legal or political fallout if they keep the customer. Or if the customer is always trouble, not paying their debt or harassing employees.

Obviously, a bank would never kick a customer to the curb if a normal customer relationship is possible.
CSS ICON is good for cases like, if you want to animate it, or style it on hover state in a particular way, of you need to prototype something fast on codepen where you don't want external assets files or long long pasted-in SVG code, this is much better.

The shortcoming is that you can't do any icon in the world with css. But if you already find this is equivalently appearance wise, the performance and code hygiene is much better than SVG or icon fonts.

also icon fonts are the worst way to do icon, here is the article about why: https://github.com/blog/2112-delivering-octicons-with-svg
A highly effective medical tactic against organisms, viruses, or virally-infected cells is to interfere with their energy-exchange mechanisms -- stopping up receptors, halting metabolism, or disabling signalling and control mechanisms.

Much the same logic holds for disabling any business enterprise.

Dismissing this as "a simple bank action" is naive in the extreme.

(Discussions of the justification for actions on the basis of an other-than-simple-bank-action are another matter.)
Very true. I guess there's also the angle of alleviating third party risks if you're running a PaaS/IaaS offering. By open sourcing your core you give clients something to fall back upon if your company gets bought/goes bust etc. This might result in a competitive advantage over proprietary only competitors.
Dynamic libraries (in the C/C++ sense) only scratch the surface. Containers give you your own file system namespace (among other namespaces), which means all of the files that make up your complicated application unit can be put together and work together in isolation, separate from the machine's main file system.

• It's more packages I need to download. Doubly annoying because 95% of the packages are just "thin wrapper around foo, because we're too hipster to use libraries directly like peasants".

• It installs system-wide services I have to disable/mask just so other programs don't mistakenly use them because they think I run KDE and they have to integrate into it.

• Oh wait, I can't disable some of these, because Krita itself needs them and now I need to figure out how to make them play nice with my desktop aaaaaarggghhhh

Well do you really like the idea that when you go to some search result it effectively is opening an iframe to the website you're trying to go?

Or as a web developer you need to make sure to adopt to their stupid standards like renaming your img to amp-img and making sure it works in amp and non-amp so you'd be doing both?

I see it as complete bollocks.
Great point, I didn't think of that either.
The kdelibs situation has improved a lot in the last couple of years. The team has worked hard to split out the frameworks and libraries from the desktop and apps themselves, so now you only need like 1/5 the KDE desktop.

It's worth taking another look if that was something that put you off in the past.

A lack? There's a huge and often price-insensitive market in decades-old manual-focus lenses for the Sony mirrorless cameras to the extent that I've given-up trying to find bargains and curiosities amongst 35mm lenses on eBay, and I've been in this hobby for nearly 30 years.

The only untouched seam of treasure appears to be medium-format lenses ( Mamiya, Hasselblad, Pentax etc ) which are too big and bulky for the mirrorless crowd.
I spend most of me waking hours inside a tmux session, often with multiple split panes, so I really should be at home in a tiling WM. But everytime I've tried to make the switch I get annoyed and switch back to KDE. I've tried several different WMs and even started to hack my own one together using WinGo as a template. But in the end I find KDE to be what I feel most at home with.

The killer feature for KDE is the "konsole" (KDE terminal) integration in their GUI tools. Their file manager (Dolphin) and text editors (Kwrite and Kate) have a CLI built in so I can leverage the best of both paradigms from a single interface. Couple that with Krunner (I know every DE and OS has a runner these days) and Yakuake (a Quake-style drop down terminal) and KDE is actually a surprisingly productive desktop environment even for people who are command line orientated or running on platforms with limited screen real estate (eg laptop screen).

But as much as we might intellectualise the productivity of different desktop environments and window managers, our personal preferences often just boil down to old habits. I've been using KDE since version 1 so when migrating to a tiling WM I was as much frustrated by having to rewrite muscle memory as I was by any personal preference with the UI design.

The painting performance should be pretty similar for both CSS and SVG: they both get rasterized via the same 2D vector graphics backend in popular browser engines. Most 2D vector graphics backends go to a lot of effort to cull invisible regions.

CSS icons may be slightly slower than an optimized SVG due to the overhead of restyling and layout. Also, the browser-side painting may be a bit slower for CSS icons, because border painting involves fairly complex logic compared to drawing a path (and for example in Gecko you have to construct display list items for individual borders but not paths). But we're talking about really small differences: I highly doubt they matter in practice.

Read the statement very carefully. At no point do they actually say, or directly suggest that Russia is behind the Podesta and DNC leaks.

The media and some politicians are full force memeing this, saying USG blames Russia for the hack and leaks. The statement does not say this in the slightest.

In my opinion, the problem is that your version of unbiased doesn't add much value to a user (and is actually biased for the website-owners). For example, SourceForge started adding a lot of misleading 'Download' buttons all over their page, and they might ask the same thing about 'an unbiased ranking' (Google's always been criticized for being the 'Web Police'). As a user however, I'd want Sourceforge's rankings go down the drain because it uses (directly or through its advertisers, doesn't matter) such a bad practice of getting users to click on the ads. AMP is similar. They're giving better ranking to pages which add value to the user, and are probably less concerned about the webmaster. In countries with slow internet, AMP adds a lot of value. You click, and the page is there (no waiting icons and 'downloading' for a few seconds)

(Edit: Sure, Sourceforge was improved a lot after the new owners, it was just used as an example)

Doesn't that mean you do produce more than you consume, just in different directions?

>I once submitted an issue on Github and the response was basically "where is your pull request".

As a clear up from someone who has seen this kind of thing in Github often. Most of the time it's not meant as a "will not fix", usually I see maintainers use it as a "You are welcome to give it a shot if you want!". Some people need that express permission to put in the time to actually do it.

> I don't (and never will) use AMP

You may intend this to mean that you will never consciously publish your content in AMP, but there is a good chance that you will consume content that is published in AMP.

It is already something I find myself noticing, especially on mobile. If you see an article work on mobile from a news site and it was fast, it was probably AMP.
>The simple idea of idleness and staying at home to paint or draw seems to drive people crazy.

It kinda does, because for you to be able to idle and sit in your home painting, somebody else has to go on the "giant treadmill" to feed you, house you, and clothe you. Do you think I wouldn't like to idle at home as I please, and paint and write and read and laze about? Only if everybody did that we would all starve to death. It seems to me to be a gigantic sense of entitlement, that you deride people who work and brag about not looking for a job and complain about being called lazy, when in fact those people are the ones paying for your food so you can lounge about your house and paint and what else. Unless you have a legitimate disability, yeah, that pisses me off.

Disclaimer: I'm not a scientist, sociologist, psychologist or any other -ist, so I'm not saying this from a quantitative place. This comes from a place of observation on my part. Take it for what it is.

I think fear is a natural human attribute left over from an earlier time in human existence, I really do.

From a young age, if we're lucky enough to have parents, we flock to them because we perceive that the monster under the bed will get us.

In our teenage years, we fear the next steps of our lives and I'd dare say that even the most introverted kid wants to fit in.

In our twenties, we fear being successful or not.

These are gross oversimplifications, but I think the point is illustrated. I think there are two parts to this fear thing. I think we humans are naturally fearful due to thousands of years of biology, and I think we look to leaders out of fear, there's certainly enough evidence of this if you just look at society as a whole and how we behave. Time and time again, societies throughout history look to leaders to placate our fears. The Stanley Milgram experiments touch on this too.

Now for what I perceive to be the dark part of this whole thing. Our leaders have learned that we can be controlled through fear. I say learned, but I possibly mean that this is biological too. If you look back throughout societies, all great societies either were, or eventually became autocratic. We live for someone else to make the scary monsters go away.

Sadly, I think we need fear. Have a look at the Universe 25 experiments to see what happens when a society has all needs met. Spoiler: It appears to end in death and mentally ill behavior.
