Yep.

With WSL I can seamlessly access files from both Linux and Windows. I use the Terminal (Windows) and various Unix tools for a lot of stuff (compiling & testing on Posix, objdump, debugging). And I use Windows GUI tools for editing (Sublime), diffing (BeyondCompare), and so on. I get the best of both worlds.

But WSL2 file access in `/mnt/c/` is now unbearably slow. So I just stick with WSL1.

From what I've read, Microsoft intends to support both WSL1 and WSL2 for the foreseeable future. So that's good.

Gimp is hard to reason about until you start using masks and realize that hitting either ctl or shift turns your regular paintbrush into a line. Then it stopped being quite as obnoxious.

The filters are phenomenal though, I've been using Gimp for fifteen years and find it's good enough even though I still find the UI difficult.

For me the weirdest part is that clicking on the X on the toolbar closes only the toolbar instead of it realizing that probably if I click an X anywhere I mean to close at least the currently open project. I get the logic with multiple windows open, it's just the one weird thing that I will never get used to. I'm sure we all have those stories.
Frozen is good because it means you can develop reliable software that will continue to work in the future without running on a constant treadmill of useless updates.

Ask HN: What FOSS cloud backup tool is reliable?
I'm currently looking for a reliable cloud backup tool. There are several, but they all have their issues... and I'm getting a bit lost.

Things I'm looking for:

* dedup

* compression

* encryption

* upload to cloud

* reliable

* opensource (preferably with a friendly license)

* usable on linux

It'll be something in the ballpark of 600GB - 1TB that I want to backup to cloud.

These are the ones I am currently looking at:

Restic: looks nice, but ... https://forum.rclone.org/t/rclone-as-destination-for-borgbackup/12717/9

Duplicity: no dedup

Duplicati: beta forever. I'm reading a lot of things about database rebuild issues, issues with big datasets. Mono app, not a huge fan but not a dealbreaker

Duplicacy: Looks great except for the license. I don't mind paying for a good product, but... https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/blob/master/LICENSE.md

BorgBackup: No cloud support (except for SSH)

Am I missing anything? Is there anything people can comment on any of the above products?

That’s the exact opposite of what I’m hearing in Illinois. Stores in the city are strictly enforcing the mask policy (I’ve seen multiple people denied entry), the suburbs are a little less strict and the rural areas even less so.

Since this is based on Hyper-V, I guess it is a Windows 10 Professional-only feature ? Or did they enable a trim down version of Hyper-V which can be used on Home licenses ?
Also, what is the use case exactly? In-place replacement of scripts in production that run almost like services? I would think that even if this behavior was not there, doing the above is a huge red flag and outside of the scope of what the shell was designed for.
Gimp is also technically very capable, especially when combined with G'mic plugins. I've used both software for different projects and I think I could switch permanently to Gimp if it could get better in two ways:

- Non-destructive filters, AKA "layer effects" or "smart filters" (I've read it's supposed do come in some distant future when the GEGL overhaul is finished). A node-based nondestructive filter system would be awesome

- Smarter selection tools. Current tools create little to no gradient in the mask they create, and it's a pain to refine a selection after creating it. Sure there are workarounds, but it feels repetitive and inefficient.

Sure the interface is a bit all over the place but it's not so bad, and it's free!
Sadly, Firefox Preview is not currently free software, which is a showstopper for many. In particular it cannot be obtained through F-Droid:

I really like WSL. And Windows 10, well, it's not awful. I don't hate it anymore than I hate Mac OS's GUI. I find things especially nice with the new Windows Terminal.

But the piece missing is still first class support for X (or Wayland) Linux applications. Without GUI Emacs, for example, or some way of integrating the Windows Emacs well, I find the WSL experience not as productive as booting into my actual Linux partition. But it's like... 90% there.

One thing I really like is that the Windows version of CLion will use SSH to connect into your WSL installation and use the Linux toolchain. So you can develop both Linux and Windows applications using the CLion GUI IDE on Windows, it's quite seamless.

Just to interject — WordPress’ origins are indeed PHP, but most modern WordPress development, especially Gutenberg — is really JavaScript. And that’s the reality, for better or worse. Many longtime WP devs are struggling with this reality.

In fact, I would posit that many of the complaints about PHP come from WordPress’s widespread usage and its slowness to adopt modern PHP features (and to be fair, I do understand that slowness. If you power such a huge portion of the web, making breaking changes to things that could impact tens of millions of sites on the name of modernization is difficult to reconcile). If/when PHP becomes just a legacy part of WordPress, it’ll be interesting to see what impact (of any) that has on the languages perception.

IF "the underlying company reasonably could be expected to continue operating were its debt ratio lowered". That's always debatable, and even moreso in the current economic circumstances - I would not be certain that some airline will be able to return to profitability any time soon.

It makes all sense that a bondholder may calculate that liquidating the company and selling off the assets will allow them to recover more of that debt than having the company continue operating. If so, bankruptcy is preferrable - and if others disagree and believe that the company will be profitable, the bankruptcy process allows various ways that essentially allow the "believers" to gather funding to pay off/buy out "unbelievers".
Browsers are Javascript bindings to WebGPU :) But more seriously, there is a https://github.com/maierfelix/webgpu that implements node bindings for Felix's Dawn fork. The fork is close to upstream and Dawn is close to "webgpu.h" so it should be easy to repurpose.

>If it stays constant (flat), then the total number of cases will increase in a straight line.

What? After a set period of time, active cases become past cases. People recover (or die). If the number of new cases per day is flat, than the total number of active cases will also become flat (after a delay if it was growing previously). If the number of new cases per day declines, the number of active cases will also decline (all the way down to zero as you say if the number of new cases drops to zero). I am genuinely confused by what you're writing here. "Number of new cases per day" isn't the same thing as an increasing rate of new cases per day.

There’s a subtle issue with that quote: one of the predicates is “with or without any relevant talent”, but the answer of the modern US seems to assume talent that one can make the most of.

Why not pick a modern country with a better social safety net, lower inequality, and greater economic and class mobility?
I may be misguided but it was also low on the radar of big graphical applications in the linux world. For years all I saw was gimp gimp gimp then one day a few people started to mention inkscape. Since then it has been a constant improvement.
Thank you for this factual and definitive comment. It's essentially required reading for this thread.

Yes, I can see that in the product page but I'm still confused. You can get a decent internet connection just about anywhere in the world, I don't see why anyone would need these besides edge cases like maybe a person living in Antartica.

Besides, Bitcoin is not used much anywhere besides for a few fanatics and perhaps gamblers on those casinos like Bitmex. (Bitcoin's volatility is too high to be used in any serious commerce).

The main takeaway is that the market for this product is very small, even though technically the project is quite cool. Perhaps the ulterior motive of this project is to be the "fairy floss" to score some karma points with?

For some time now Gimp has featured a single-window mode which is enabled by default.
From what I've looked into it, and now I'm a novice is it's build more for illustrations. I think of inkscape more as a graphics designer software for making images and logos and things which you might use for a company logo. Where as Krita is more artistic in nature so like paintings and things (web comics). At least that has been my thoughts from my minimal exposure to both. Though I'm sure you can easily do all in either.
It's literally just reporting some tweets. The tweets have been deleted, but plenty of people have screenshots.
I need Windows for Unity dev and VR.
Krita is more of a digital painting and artwork focused app. It can be used for raster editing or vector editing, but it is not optimized for that.
VFIAX is "Admiral Shares" and has a lower expense ratio compared to VOO. But it also requires a higher minimum investment -- $80k is over that limit.

Even if OP splits it into smaller, dollar-cost-averaging purchases they'll still be able to get VFIAX without a problem.
Yes, I've installed it half a year ago and tested for some time (couldn't switch due to lack of adblock). It is very cool, OneUI-like interface, dark theme, a lot of small improvements. But speed? It is fast, about the same as current trunk FF, maybe there are less or shorter animations but overall it feels exactly the same, maybe it is faster by few percents but I can't see it as a user without using benchmarks. Normal FF is fast on my phone.

PS: I just checked - uBlock is available in Preview, woohoo, I can try it more now :) . Strange that it is the only addon available in my app, no NoScript, Badger and HtttpsE there (latest version).
Why Not Clojure?
Inkscape is a fantastic product and it can be used for some many unexpected things: editing a PDF, vectorizing an image, creating a pixel perfect resume...

I'm amazed it just reached v1.
The problem with the that quote is that "it's better now than before" is used my large political movements to justify cancelling the effort that got us here, and letting us backslide.
IoT Projects: 40 questions to map and identify your IoT requirements
The Mac is 10% of Apple’s revenue. How much of that 10% do you really think are developers that would switch just because Microsoft supports Linux? Especially considering that macOS is a real certified Unix not just tacked on.

Developing linux software on windows is actually pretty painful.

Actually, running any linux software in general such as middleman or Jekyll is pretty painful on Windows- I recently had a horrible time trying to get git-crypt working for a colleague of mine who was using Windows..

There's a lot of value in being able to just run "linux" (with bash, grep, sed, awk, gcc, python) while being able to access your normal files on a Windows desktop.

You _can_ do this with VirtualBox but it's janky, slow, buggy and generally awkward.
Also it has to take into account that the puzzle may be sent to a farm of human puzzle solvers. Or that the puzzle is sent to unsuspicious users of another website.

I think this is what makes Google's approach powerful because they have the best view on IP addresses used worldwide. (Whether that's desirable is still another question).
The disk issue was probably going to be difficult to solve even with the WSL1 model if they wanted good IO performance. Using a proper Linux filesystem underneath is a decent compromise IMO.

The RAM issue is a clear setback, and makes it annoying trying to do large compile jobs on the Linux side, though it's been a while since I've tried it. In theory it could be possible to handle coorporation between the Linux and Windows RAM usage patterns since they're running a very heavily modified kernel. I'd be very interrested in knowing if anything is hapenning on that front.
yes, for a software architect that used inkscape for the first time, I guess that have things to improve, but was a good experience.
You can use Krita if you want to create illustrations or drawings not by modifying vectors (like in Inkscape) but by drawing with a digital brush. It’s pixel based like GIMP, which can also do digital drawing but with less ease and sophistication I imagine than in Krita. Whether it’s useful to you really depends on your illustration style, it’s probably less suited for a flat and vectory look. It’s more for things like storyboarding or other forms of digital painting.
No. You shouldn’t write a bash script. Just use the cp command bulk copy feature and provide all files you want to copy and add the path which is the destination.

"Alongside" is such marketing nonsense that as a user it almost gets me angry to keep reading it at this point. If it was really running "alongside" Windows then I'd be able to switch to Linux, shut down Windows, and now work in Linux while it's still running. And back. That's what it means to a user when you say they run "alongside" each other. But it's obviously not that. Not even on the same planet as that. It's just a damn VM running inside Windows as far as it concerns a user. Nobody cares if it's running in ring 0 or -1 or NaN, or under a hypervisor or over a supervisor, or whatever terms get thrown around. If it's still going to quack to the user like every other duck, it's a duck.

One can be running a marathon and still have 40km left to run.
Anecdotally, I find this to be spot on. One thing I'll add that has been important for me is identifying what "maintenance mode" looks like for different areas. For instance, I'm in "ambitious project phase", so I put some upfront work into figuring out a somewhat mindless 30-60 minute daily fitness routine, what a maintenance amount of socializing looks like, etc. When I was younger, I was very bad at establishing this baseline for things that weren't as easily quantifiable (like fitness) and it led to some stressful times.

I don't think this is true: Both are editing programs. The main subject being edited is a single file (as opposed to multi-file projects, like an IDE does). Both therefore need a UI for file handling (load/save their "native" format that exactly represents their internal model), import/export of other formats, undo/redo, etc.

For both there is the question how editing multiple files at the same time is being dealt with, i.e. how processes and windows relate to files. Both have to arrange many tools and helpers together with the main view on the file being edited. Both want to have help and documentation. The files being edited support meta-data.

Both raster images and vector images are visual and can therefore be exported to other visual representations, and especially both can be printed. So both programs have to deal with printing, page setup etc.

The whole topic of colors and color spaces applies to both raster images and vector images.

I could go on, but the above should give a hint how much these programs conceptually have in common.
