Might want to consider using TablePlus instead as SequelPro has pretty much stalled development and MySQL 8 support hasn't been out for quite a while and their nightlies that supports it are too buggy to use. Also TablePlus supports quite a few number of databases.

It was too bad WAF took down their entire network. I don't use it but things went down too.

Maybe it's better to separate damage zones for different features.

Regexp::Debugger was a cute one.

Also Pug (Formerly Jade)

Who is likely to fill the void?

I guess that's how it looks for students.

Leaving only Debian as an independent popular distro maker sounds bad for the game.

Why ignore any other negative impacts like, lack of confidence in crypto from USDT collapsing because crypto is still a Wild West having a random corp printing money at will and there will certainly be a group of people who will face huge loss when billions just evaporate and the impact all the exchanges take who are dealing with USDT? SEC is not going to like it and can probably lock ETF for a good while.

That is dangerous. They can plant whatever the hell they want as soon as it looks financially attractive. What repercussion do they have against corporations doing the same?

Saving $2k a desktop doesn't sound right.

I would miss GUI DB apps, image editors, decent trackpad utility, QR code generator to copy text data to my phone, MS office to open files being passed, Quick Look and other little useful ones.

And I mean they're better than DBeaver, GIMP and LibreOffice.

I don't call it minimalism. They cut off unnecessary parts and left what mattered, like unblaoted it.

You're so me.

Mac's culture of 'I made something decent and I ask you only $15.' was a great start for OSX and had gotten better by App Store's presence to provide people the spot on experience of quality third party apps.

Windows, having only either of free but never too good or commercial offering that is bloated and expensive is getting old.

I never understand why people run a dev environment natively on macOS. Sure it may be what Google tells you and is easy with homebrew but small differences between production Linux certainly makes me uncomfortable to even think about doing that. I would either run a Linux VM locally or use "upload on save" feature on an editor and run it on a remote Linux machine.

These days you can prepare a completely isolated docker instance to each devs, so they don't even need to set anything up themselves and just let them upload on save and run whatever packages and daemons they want as root with the added benefit that anyone check their state as their code is always on a server.

I was using FoxIt PDF reader when I was using Windows mainly 15 years ago but does it not have enough compatibility?

Can't believe things haven't changed since then.

I wouldn't blame the new people. You can't possibly keep up with a huge code base as Windows when you can't implement anything smart as it can always break something somewhere. You need huge tests just to change a small thing.

It would give them a better return to just make a new OS from scratch while keep supporting Windows for the next 10 years (maybe 20 for extended support) and let it slowly fade.

Or better yet, take the Edge route and use Linux underneath and change the appearance to MS' taste, have binary compatibility layer and call it Windows.

I feel sympathetic to Windows OS developers because the code must be a huge bloat to keep up with decades of backward compatibility and have to go through codes that many generations of people had written to even change a thing which made it pretty much stuck on its own weight.

But I can probably still be fine what OS I am on as long as it has quality third party apps but interestingly as a web dev, it's all on macOS and have no intention of moving away as it'll kill my smooth workflow.

Tried to check if I could use Windows for it a few years ago but figured it's a pain in a few hours. I can see MS is trying though, when they start including Linux in Windows. And I like their tooling very much, like VS Code and TypeScript but I don't see myself switching away at least for the next 5 years.

I get it. I run macOS for daily driver so I only need to care what I should care but wanted to keep an OpenBSD around on a hobby server but then again since I couldn't figure out how to make the identical environment compared to my other Linux servers, I just gave up and switched to FreeBSD, where things just worked.

Too bad but I also get the enthusiasm bit as I like OpenBSD's philosophy.

What's so dirty bypassing that isn't productive for you?

alias reboot='echo "This is not Windows!"'

Real Linux admins know how to invoke the real 'reboot' command.

Stuff suddenly starting to work on reboot for Windows is getting old.

I don't know what to use Windows servers for if it wasn't for a project that uses MetaTrader.

I'm not sure what Windows offer better in terms of third party tooling which is what matters more than OS itself.

I understand some need Windows only app to work but otherwise what does Windows offer better for third party apps that Mac doesn't for developers that WSL targets? I just can't think of one but I can think quite several the other way around.

tmux tab number can be clicked too.

That was possible for quite some years if you'd just used any VM solution locally and just SSH into it. At least VMware has decent file system performance when VirtualBox doesn't.

Genuinely curious what you'd want this for?

Cloud servers can be prepared in minutes, has decent performance, decent network, no upfront cost, can throw away or add at will and you don't have to take care of it physically. Also don't have to open up your local network.

It doesn't even scale enough for mass adoption. Who said it shouldn't have any modifications?

If QT is the best cross platform GUI framework that could come out in the last 20 years, then maybe it's time Electron would be the leading framework for that role.

Do you mean as a personal pain when you're not used to setting up a Linux environment?

If the IT department prepared a pre setup image, all you need to do is boot it up.

What is there to miss on Linux exclusive tooling or even Windows exclusive tooling?

Better late than never but I feel sorry to people using Windows for web dev when the tooling experience has been way worse than Mac for a decade now.

And some people can't even try to switch out of Windows.
