There’s also a slack extension for vscode. That and the vs live share stuff makes for a pretty amazing team Dev setup. I like tux & vim as much as the next guy, but in terms of raw productivity for me it’s not even close.
Sure, but choosing the correct giants is half the battle. Java can go the way of flash for all I care (especially on the desktop). Online app development has already standardized around html, the tooling is already there, it makes perfect sense for desktop app development to take advantage of this. You can complain about resource usage, but since html is a significantly higher level abstraction than, say, spring, flex or Qt, there’s a much greater opportunity for tuning the resource usage to the runtime platform and keeping the application code (and libraries) simpler.
I think the point GP is making is why can we not have domain-specific trusted CAs, limited I. This case to creating certificates for a limited purpose (like sennheiser.com)?
I understand the need for verisign et al to need a global wildcard CA, but sennheiser shouldnâ(TM)t, and if the system doesnâ(TM)t allow them to do what they need without having to give them a global trusted cert, then the system is broken.
Well, to be fair, jquery does now use the native browser api to execute that select, and the browser does cache those nodelists, so that codes isnâ(TM)t as inefficient as you might think.
No. Really. Neither Microsoft, gnu, nor Linus would agree with you there. There is no linux kernel there. Donâ(TM)t bother trying to crawl yourself out of this one. You were wrong, you are still wrong and no amount of weaseling is going change that.
ok, just to be clear: _you're_ the one smoking the crack.
WLinux is a distro, yes. but it _doesn't_ run in windows VMs, and it _doesn't_ contain a linux kernel... it runs in WSL which is a windows service for running linux user-mode code in the _Windows_ kernel - there's _no_ linux kernel code involved.
what a load of nonsense that article is. i mean, sure it's 'GNU/Windows' technically. but the whole 'it has nothing to do with Linux' thing is ridiculous - it's emulating Linux syscall functionality with high-enough fidelity to run a large percentage of Ubuntu (or whatever distro's) user-mode code. it's not emulating BSD or Solaris. it's emulating Linux. besides, it doesn't need to run GNU software at all, it's a kernel emulation layer - you could have init run anything.
and the whole bashing MS out of the side of his mouth thing doesn't help either. MS is exposing its users to GNU tools in possibly the best way it could. not porting them to win32 (like it did with several old BSD utils back in the day), but unadulterated, with all the trimmings.
it says it right there:
C:\>wsl uname -a Linux hostname 4.4.0-17134-Microsoft #285-Microsoft Thu Aug 30 17:31:00 PST 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
MS is not charging you $20 for this. Microsoft's WSL (with ubuntu, debian, suse, etc...) is free ($0). this WLinux crap is someone else charging for something that _should_ be free.

You can use Unix tools on a windows desktop.
Itâ(TM)s mostly intended for dev/ops.
Lol! You have no idea what youâ(TM)re talking about.
You could ask the same of Cygwin or msys both of which allowed you to run Unix tools on windows.

Shhh. He likes his rock. Don’t disturb him.

And replace all the batteries while it waits.
i'm not sure how that addresses my question.

Yeah. If youâ(TM)re sharing a key then you donâ(TM)t need asymmetric enc at all. You can just share your aes key (or whatever) and be done with it.
Ah. Youâ(TM)re one of those.
Okay... so what is he talking about that _does_ have a Linux kernel in it?
Whatever, troll. Nice try.
yeah, i sit around all day just closing and opening my text editors. i wish they would open quicker, i would save _so_ much time.
let me know when your bash-based editor reaches feature-parity with vscode. i can't wait (another second).
Microsoft 'sells' linux on their store for $0.
this is not that. this is some guy trying to make a quick buck.
he's right. there's no Linux kernel in WSL.

what value does this offer above, say, Ubuntu on WSL?

reasons to run windows:
1) windows applications
2) windows development
3) a desktop environment that doesn't suck
WLinux is a scam. WSL is the windows subsystem for linux.
