JoyrexJ9··on "Extreme" Broadcom-proposed price hike would up VMware costs 1,050%, AT&T says
No one said the strategy was working!
JoyrexJ9··on Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team
I can't tell if this is sarcasm. I really hope it is
JoyrexJ9··on 1935: Britain's First Milk Bar Opens
She's kept her stuff off the Internet and any form of digital distribution since long before streaming services existed
JoyrexJ9··on TypeSpec: A new language for API-centric development
You can create your own emitters, there's info in the docs on how to do so. My team built a custom TypeSpec emitter to output a SDK and set of libraries
JoyrexJ9··on Podman Desktop: A Free OSS Alternative to Docker Desktop
Been running Docker under WSL for a few years. Don't need systemd if you're either happy to start it manually with an alias or poke it into one of your profile/logon scripts.

The experience is light-years ahead of the monstrosity that is Docker Desktop

JoyrexJ9··on GitHub availability report: October 2022
Trust me, nothing has been ported to .NET, nothing would be gained from such a move. That's not how Microsoft works. Source: I work at Microsoft
JoyrexJ9··on Deno 1.27
Yeah NH gives a warped lens on how ready these runtimes & frameworks are for real work. Threads about Deno and Bun pop up almost weekly, yet in my experience they remain a long, LONG way from the stable (and admittedly stale) experience we have with Node and NPM
JoyrexJ9··on Ray tracing Voxels made out of Glass
Same. I've been doing a bunch of WebGL side project stuff and yet this site claims I can't run it. There's some broken detection code I think
JoyrexJ9··on Bun v0.2.0
As a 'drop in' replacement for Node, bun has a long way to go, there's many gaps and incompatibilities.

If need to change my existing code, I might as well switch over to a much more mature runtime like Deno

JoyrexJ9··on ContainerSSH: Launch containers on demand
Sounds a lot like VS Code devcontainers https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers
JoyrexJ9··on Azure customers running Canonical Ubuntu 18.04 experiencing DNS errors
But the same issue would happen on AWS, it's an Ubuntu problem caused by Canonical
JoyrexJ9··on Will Bun JavaScript Take Node's Crown
I've given Bun a spin against several of my older Node.js projects and the lack of Express support killed it for me.

As a drop in replacement for Node it has a long way to go. A promising start, but I'll check back in a year

JoyrexJ9··on Will Bun JavaScript Take Node's Crown
I suggest never access native files, if you are still keeping your code in C:\ somewhere I think you're approaching WSL the wrong way. Go all in and I've never looked back
JoyrexJ9··on Will Bun JavaScript Take Node's Crown
Not saying you're wrong about the windows support but when it comes to WSL, my entire department uses WSL for their primary development environment
JoyrexJ9··on Burn All GIFs (2000)
I remember the hullabaloo around this patent and using GIFs at the time.

But nothing ever came of it, did it? People just ignored the patent and carried on as normal as far as I can tell.

JoyrexJ9··on Can the 64 and 128 survive? (1988) [pdf]
The Amiga (and the Atari ST to a lesser extent) really marked the end of the 8-bit era.

Maybe once the 386 came along then PC stepped into the picture

JoyrexJ9··on Terraform Provider for Spotify
If you've never used Go, then writing a Terraform provider is a really bad way to start learning.

Why do you think you need to write your own provider? Most people use the large ecosystem of prebuilt providers, and never write a single line of code

JoyrexJ9··on Pglet – Web UI framework for back end developers
The tortured ghost of CGI has entered the chat.

Seriously though, for small web apps, or even light REST API this could be useful

JoyrexJ9··on Know how the Beatles ended? Peter Jackson may change your mind
It really is peak HN. Classic stuff. Ignorance spouted a fact. It's like some people are almost proud of how little they know about the world
JoyrexJ9··on The metaverse is bullshit
By 2140 humans no longer require food?
JoyrexJ9··on Can we trust Microsoft with open source?
VSCode extension are written in Typescript but most of them rely on a language server for things like refactoring, type hints, code completion etc. These language servers run as native process (written in Go, C# etc), so are (roughly) as fast as your machine is.

If these operations take over a second it may be an issue with your machine or install of VS Code

JoyrexJ9··on HTTP Status 418 – I'm a teapot
I do hope this is a humorous comment
JoyrexJ9··on Docker Desktop no longer free for large companies
I do all my work under WSL, and run Docker engine in WSL and it works perfectly. 100% headless.

I may have had to expose the Docker socket for VS Code containers support to work, but that wasn't any pain, and secured with TLS.

Never needed Docker Desktop, which seemed like a bloated mess.

JoyrexJ9··on GitHub’s engineering team has moved to Codespaces
There is 'Discussions' for this, which you can enable per repo on GitHub, and have a sort of chat / forum as part of the repo
JoyrexJ9··on GitHub was having issues
GitHub were pretty open about having issues with Bitcoin mining abusing the free compute available via Actions. I think it's an ongoing battle and one which is having a wider platform impact
JoyrexJ9··on GitHub was having issues
The hosted runners are, the backend and core isn't
JoyrexJ9··on Modern Javascript: Everything you missed over the last 10 years (2020)
strict mode is the default in everything now and had been for many many years.
JoyrexJ9··on Preview of Microsoft Build of OpenJDK
Hasn't this extend/embrace thing got a little tired now. Are people still living 15-20 years in the past?
JoyrexJ9··on IBM Is Destroying Red Hat and Red Hatters Are Leaving
Yeah I was following along with the article up until that point. Pretty dumb thing to say by someone that probably has never run production workloads on a public cloud
JoyrexJ9··on Always Bet on Text (2014)
How far do you take that line of reasoning? Base64 is text?
