  • From a project management perspective, if this feature was causing frequent test failures and required extra developer time to regularly debug these failures, then removing the feature is cheaper than maintaining it.

    If very few people use a feature that has a measurable maintenance cost, then it would make sense to remove it.

    It seems unlikely that new features or updates would affect this one, but we don’t know. It hardly seems worth lamenting though, since we’ve already left Reddit.










  • WSL is pretty good these days. Dual boot with Windows is still a pretty risky move with how easily Windows will overwrite your boot loader. I usually recommend you pick one os or the other rather than dual boot, so I’m in favor of WSL or virtualbox. Personally, I have never cared for needing to reboot just to switch operating systems. I tend to stick with one and the second one does nothing but take up disk partition space.

    WSL lets you run both simultaneously without rebooting. Virtualbox lets you do the same with extra setup. Virtualbox makes it easier to do GUI setups than WSL does, and the network configuration is a little more obvious.

    The best option is to get a second machine so you can run both. If that’s not an option, virtualbox is the better choice for learning. If you just want a Linux environment on your existing setup (similar to using a Mac) then WSL is usually good enough







  • he no longer has the cognitive capabilities required to do the job.

    Okay give examples of how things have declined. Give specific examples of ways he has gotten worse.

    His past four years as President have proven he can do a very good job, despite the verbal gaffes that he’s been criticized for over his entire career. Making speaking mistakes has been a well-known and well-criticized trait of his since long before I voted for him, or even before I voted for him on Obama’s ticket.

    His performance as President alone should be enough to reelect him. In all honesty, I want more of what we got in the last four years. And he’s shown no signs of deterioration, we’ve just gotten more media coverage pretending that his gaffes are new.
