People building something that will run on the real Linux kernel in production. Those people should be very concerned about running on a completely different Windows kernel that has a module to emulate the Linux ABI. Just imagine. Develop and test on Windows, then deploy on a real Linux kernel. What could possibly go wrong?
If you are using Windows, then why would you possibly feign pretend concern about efficiency of RAM and storage?
That's like a coal burning power plant expressing concern about pollution caused by someone burning leaves in a barrel.
RAM is cheap. Cheap. I use 32 GB on my workstation at home, and on each of two workstations at work. A local server in my office, for my own use is 64 GB. And production servers can have more. I am a Java developer,:-), yes, seriously not joking.
It's just a (small) cost of doing business. Productivity of people is far, far more important than a few gigabytes of ram or terabytes of disk. People focused on pure technical efficiency over business concerns probably don't stay in business. Technical efficiency is great. And something to strive for. But not if it costs you time, every single day, and you can just throw some minor resources at it to save that time every day. If you can make a person 30 minutes more productive every day by giving them a standard configuration of 32 GB, big dual monitors, etc. then it is a huge money saver.
Why run Linux under Windows Subsystem for Linux? Especially when it isn't even real Linux? If you're deploying on Linux, then develop and test on Linux. It's like saying, I'm developing for a formula 1 race car, but what I have in my office is a Windows workstation with a lawnmower engine that has a fake body cover on it to make it look like a formula 1 race car. It won't be any different in production. What could possibly go wrong?
V'Ger must have had a biological boot loader. So wouldn't it save carbon units? Wouldn't it's carbon unit creators have had their own version of the four laws of robotics?
0. Can't cause or allow through inaction the extinction of ${carbon-unit} species.
1. Can't cause or allow through inaction the death of a single ${carbon-unit}, unless it conflicts with the previous laws.
2. Must obey ${carbon-unit} orders unless it conflicts with the previous laws.
3. Must protect its own existence unless it conflicts with the previous laws.
But would V'Ger's biological bloat loader have been UEFI?
With UEFI and Intel's "Management Engine" built into the microprocessor, PCs are turning fully into a prison camp. Pre-compromised, in the hardware, right from the factory.
No fear, Linux is already running on other processors. And ARM processors already outnumber Intel / AMD processors, just not in PCs. And ARM processors inevitably run Linux, not that Microsoft hasn't failingly tried to get Windows on it.
How many real Linux developers are on Windows and have trouble with running a VM, or a separate box?
Windows Subsystem for Linux merely provides a Linux kernel personality or API on the Windows kernel. Wouldn't someone developing for Linux want the real Linux kernel? Should your development and testing be done on something as close to the production system as possible?
Surely Microsoft would introduce some "extra" features that are addictively sweet into it's Linux ABI. Just like Microsoft did with Java a decade and a half ago -- in violation of the agreement Microsoft signed with Sun -- and got sued for it and cost them $1.2 Billion. Surely nice, friendly Microsoft wouldn't want you to get hooked on something that doesn't exist in the real Linux, and therefore makes you consider deploying Windows in production?
I mean, after all, Microsoft Loves Linux. And Sharks Love Fish. And Foxes Love Chickens.
BTW, Wine now runs on Windows Subsystem for Linux.
Because it's the best spyware. Trust me. The biggest spyware. And believe me, I know my spyware. Classy, beautiful stuff. Everyone who has used Microsoft spyware has just loved it. I promise. Bigly. I get calls all the time telling me how much people just love Microsoft's spyware.
Just because a large number of people submitted the same comment doesn't mean it was a bot.
Just because those people all submitted their comment in the alphabetical order of their personal names, should not be taken as a bot, just a coincidence.
Even if some of those people are deceased, this is not evidence of anything improper or wrong. Dead people are still people and have opinions about public policy.
So stop complaining about net neutrality and STFU. The government is working in your bestest interests. Bigly!

If you're dead, it may not be from consuming in excess of the RDA of plutonium, it may be from not consuming enough of another important mineral the FDA should recognize. Lead. The administration could help solve this problem by getting more municipal water projects to to add lead to the drinking water.
My comment was not intended to be taken any more seriously than the current US government should be taken seriously.
I would think that if you want to increase domestic jobs, there could be plenty of jobs installing solar and wind power. Maybe try some wave power in areas where it might be workable. Trump's seems focused on coal, and even made sure to have a photo op with a coal miner. Coal is definitely NOT the future of energy, even if Trump tries to make it so. While I can accept that some fracking, pipelines, and/or even drilling might be necessary, they should be minimized, not maximized. We should be looking at how to avoid these things not encourage them. Once you sell off federal lands for drilling, you probably can never undo that. Environmental damage done by pipelines can probably not be undone. I would be happy to reduce the money we send to Saudi Arabia. It would seem that maybe the administration should be not only pushing the future of energy but should be pushing the future of how to power automobiles. Push electric car battery development -- and make it friggin' domestic!
The lack of these actions signal backward thinking. That's just my opinion. I think we could come up with plenty of 21st century blue collar jobs instead of 20th century blue collar jobs.
My original Motorola RAZR is still going strong and I pretty well drop it onto a hard surface every other week.
Some say you can throw a classic Nokia 3310 at a brick wall and it will be undamaged.
But it's not true. There are known cases of damage where you can see chips or nicks in the brick wall.
While the EPA may declare this an environmental disaster. The DOE needs to reclassify plutonium as a mineral. The FDA can come up with an RDA for plutonium. The workers and nearby population can be told there is nothing to worry about. Go about your business as normal. Move along. Move along.
RDA = Recommended Daily Allowance, like the vitamins listed on your breakfast cereal boxes.
Trump supporters will swallow anything he gives them. After all they voted for him when it was already beyond doubt that he has no positions on anything and changes what he says to suit whoever he is talking to at the moment. And he is the greatest most best president that ever lived. And he won by the biggest electoral victory and popular vote victory ever! And everyone just loves him! He's the best negotiator ever. And he's rich. And women just love him despite that he is unable to speak in complete sentences. And he doesn't have tiny hands. No, really. It's not that wedding rings aren't made for such tiny hands, it's some other reason that he doesn't wear a wedding ring. But it's not because he's a prick, no. It's because he will be so much more attractive to other women if he doesn't wear a wedding ring.
You're too narrowly focused purely on the technology and not on the bigger picture about how to make money. We don't just do all this programming for our personal amusement. We do it to put food on the table.

Don't be surprised. I'm sure they used an air gap. The air gap was in between some manager's ears.

Chromebooks have already outsold Windows laptops on Amazon for years.
Use Windows on the Application Server. Use Linux on the Desktop. That way each system is used for what it is best at.

There is no science to see here. Move along. This is the Trump administration. Now move along before I re-accommodate you.
Radiation poses no more long term danger than climate change.
We cannot have this incident distracting DoE resources from work on Clean Coal and getting the coal miners back to work.
