  5. still no replacement on 4.9% of Websites Use Flash, Down From 28.5% in 2011 (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    we still don't have anything that comes close to replacing it.

    html has SVG for resolution-independent vector graphics, canvas for bitmapped graphics, video for .. video, webgl for 3d, etc... but making all these things work together seamlessly is next to impossible.

    using SVG natively from javascript is a nightmare, CSS and SVG don't mix well, mixing SVG & canvas is ill-advised, multi-device/dynamic-quality audio/video playback is DIY (at best), webgl is completely separate from everything, there's no overarching animation/timeline (no, CSS3 doesn't count) everything is just a mish-mash of separate projects that people thought might fit in the browser - there's no cohesion.

    flash wasn't perfect - it certainly had it's fair share of issues. but what it did do well was integrate all of its technologies together reasonably well. that and AS3 had a type system.

  6. Re: Cygwin vs WSL any comparisons? on Microsoft Windows 10 Gains Linux/WSL Console Copy and Paste Functionality (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    You can use ubuntu's (debian's) `apt` to install/update the actual Ubuntu binaries instead of using cygwin's inferior setup.exe to install recompiled win32 binaries linked to a slew of compatibility libraries.

    Try it. You can run them both at the same time - I did for a while until I uninstalled Cygwin.

    Give them a break. They literally implemented whole other operating-systems's-worth of Syscalls, and you're complaining about the correct clipboard keyboard shortcuts? (The clipboard works fine, it's just the keyboard shortcuts which are not there since conhost is used for both win32 and wsl)

    There is no Linux in WSL.

    the ubuntu 16.04 sshd works just fine on wsl. You do have to open a port in the firewall.

    > This is why I like Trump's tweets quite a bit, as he seems to have a habit of making public things people seem to want to hide or ignore.

    ahem. the reason Trump often sounds original or insightful is because he doesn't usually say things other people say. the reason for this is that most people say sensible things and mostly he's just talking out of his ass.

  15. Re: How is this different than Cygwin? on Microsoft Releases New Tool To Get More Distros on Windows (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    This is significantly better than Cygwin. It's Ubuntu (or whichever district you like) running on the Windows kernel. I used Cygwin for over 15 years before I removed it from all my win10 boxes earlier this year.

    Yeah there's no Linux here, just the user-mode applications & services.

    Remember that WSL has nothing to do with the Linux kernel. This is GNU user-mode (compiled as a Linux distribution) running on Windows.

    you can run X11 clients just fine on wsl and serve them to a native X11 server running on the Windows desktop. No kernel-mode stuff, of course.
