    Gitlabs community edition is open source.

    We used it for a few months. Then we moved to github enterprise

    Yeah but when Amazon wants you to keep your code there, use their tools to build, use their tools to deploy, and use their servers to run on, that's all cool. Because they're... not microsoft

    They give VS Code away for free.... because they're afraid of people leaving VS?

    The creators of TypeScript are afraid of a Javascript world? VS Code is a popular node editor fyi

    I'm so glad you moved it away from that monopolistic tech giant Microsoft.

    You're talking about visual studio. I'm pretty meh on it. The new Jet Brains .net IDE is nicer for C#. VS has too much legacy. You can totally separate it from the compiler though. This complaint is a few years outdated, we do all our compilation using the dotnet cli nowadays, from psake (powershell make) files, so that Jenkins builds can exactly match our local builds.

    VS Code though is amazing, and popular for all kinds of languages where people previously may have used Sublime Text or similar. A lot of times this is all I use for small changes to c# projects - text editor and command line cli

    This is kind of weird. Richard Stallman also hated Tcl. It's pretty dead. It was my first main professional programming language... 20 years ago. Those are all largely dead, only Objective C was big in recent years.

    I don't know what windows/linux is relevant here? If it is, just look to ubuntu on windows in the windows store for running it. If it is for development? Well you can run .net core on windows or linux. You can write it in VS Code, running on either. You can connect to sql server. Running on either OS now. Or easily connect to it from java, ruby, node, php, python, whatever (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/sql-connection-libraries?view=sql-server-2017). VS Code is used heavily for node and golang dev in my company

    Rich people keep their money in the market, generating no taxes of any kind except on unavoidable dividends

  16. Not true.... we could build some terraform scale powered CO2 scrubbers. Its leaving greenhouse gases in the atmosphere thats a problem, not demand for electricity

  17. I've never opened windows mail. I don't know why anyone would. hotmail, gmail, etc all work perfectly fine in the browser.

    I've never used the Mail app. I don't see the reason to. The websites are all SPAs now, and as responsive as an app without any of the overhead

  19. Really? I've never cleaned up any of my email in hotmail. They just periodically increase the size of online storage, and I've never had any reason to.

    Outlook at work has a 50gb storage limit on the server. When they upped it to that I moved my pst emails back to the server. Makes it easier to reimage the machine and not worry about it

  20. I didn't even know android would let you do that.

    I find it convenient. If i need to reset my device, I can easily find what i had installed before

    They're not extending linux though....

    Windows Subsystem for Linux (which should really be called NT Subsystem for Linux) takes linux binaries, and runs them on windows by providing a brilliant fakery layer that answers syscalls with something other than the linux kernel.

    You can't "make" SUSE be ancient. Just drop the binaries. You could not update it in the windows store... but for me at least that's not how I get programs.

  24. Arguing about the OS seems quaint given expanded serverless offerings.
