I shared my personal experience and you turned it into a distro war.

My original comment was pointing out this entire post is an unnecessary distro war. Except now WSL is the battleground. It’s so unnecessary. I’m genuinely surprised anyone gives a shit about WSL.

People using WSL tend not to be total newbies and may well run into real issues (such as the ones that prompted me to switch), thanks to snap.

OK, that’s a different assumption to me. I kinda presume anyone toying with WSL is one of their early experiences with Linux.

My experience was if you’re fiddling enough with WSL that you’re running into issues then you may as well ditch Windows and move to Linux.

Hence arguing over which WSL distro someone is using is irrelevant. You’re better of persuading them to try dual booting Linux instead.

I’m pretty sure a year ago there was a set of users claiming systemd was the worst thing to happen to Linux since snap.

So why are you advising to change the default install of Debian to include it?

Every recipe that works for Ubuntu works for Debian,

May as well just install Ubuntu then.

For the cutting edge 2% of new stuff, newbies are increasingly better off on Debian.

Citation needed. Pretty sure this is either personal opinion or anti-canonical, anti-snap ideology.

Targeting WSL users with this rhetoric is ridiculous. If you want to tailor your own systems outside the norm then sure go ahead but claiming things will be easier for a newbie by running specific commands they don’t have the context or expertise to comprehend is absurd.

Why the new account? Did your last account get banned from spamming posts from your own blog?

if you encounter problems just search online or ask AI, it’s fairly simple

Good luck with that. All the answers are going to assume WSL is using Ubuntu.

Why do Linux advocates try so desperately to overcomplicate things?

Can’t you you just be satisfied a Windows using is experimenting with Linux. Why does it have to be your ideological strain of Linux they use.

Docker might be solution here.

But from my experience most python scripts are absolute junk. The barrier for entry is low so there’s a massive disparity in quality.

They give incremental discounts each time you renew so even if the price increases you’ll probably find you’re spending less each time.

Jetbrains licenses are like £100 a year. What commercial project isn’t able to cover that cost.

This has been one of my biggest frustrations while learning Rust. I’m coming from .NET which has an incredible wealth of official System and Microsoft libraries all of which are robust and well documented.

Rust on the other hand has the bare minimum std library, with everything else implemented by the community. There isn’t even a std async library. It’s insane.

Even the popular community libraries are severely lacking in documentation or inexplicably unmaintained.

Rust has a ton of potential but it desperately needs some broad funding to align the fundamentals to a decent standard.

A quick glance and this seemed nothing to do with self documenting code and everything to do with the flaws when code isn’t strictly typed.

The open alternatives don’t have particularly good UIs which was a massive perk of GitKraken.

These days I rely heavily on the Git UI within jetbrains various IDEs. If you’re working on open source projects then you can get a free license. Or they do educational discounts. If you’re using it commercially then it’s going to be roughly the same price as for Kraken but you get a best in class IDE included…

Why not just give it away for free? It always seems odd to me that games just disappear rather than being allowed an elegant death of old age.

But their issue isn’t the old website. They’re complaining about the new version?

I kinda got bored halfway through. From what I gather they’re salty that GitHub is switching to react? If that’s the issue then the headline is rather misleading isn’t it?

Surely legacy software is one that drifts into obscurity through lack of investment which is the polar opposite of GitHub rewriting their entire front end…

When you finish the final sentence of an essay or a report do you just submit it straight away? You don’t read it through?

I don’t know about the specific question you ask but I’ve found Google OR Tools to be useful in the past: https://developers.google.com/optimization/pack/bin_packing

Blazor WebAssembly ticks the boxes that @treechicken@lemmy.world described.

I have this dream of a single WASM runtime environment across web, desktop, mobile with devs writing apps once, compiling them down to WASM, distributing them over the Internet, and users running them on any platform they like.

You write the app once and it can be compiled to WebAssembly that works across web, desktop, and mobile.

In reality to take full advantage of Blazor you’re probably going to use Blazor Server/hybrid for desktop and mobile but the principle is the same, you’ve only written your app once but it works in every environment.

I think you just described Blazor WebAssembly

You’re completely right. The deeper I get into bash the more absurd it is. Trying to iterate through text delimited by line breaks is ridiculously complex. And the sheer number of options for find and replace style operations is confusing sed, awk, printf, why?!

Oh I don’t think I made it clear enough. I know full well my opinion has no merit. I legit know nothing about Powershell, other than it has a uniquely blue background.

I despise powershell. But I have no actual reason for that opinion. … I’m just familiar with Bash so anything else looks like too much effort.
