Im in firmware. IDEs change often depending on the chip i am working with. In some cases, the tools are better on windows, or have been in the past. It has gotten alot better recently.

I dont mind windows personally(from a usability standpoint, the spyware aspect worries me). And WSL has not caused me any issues in my dev environment.

This isnt a windows issue, its a company policy issue. If developers dont have full admin rights on their systems, its a failure of managment. If you cant trust your developers enough to give them admin rights, thats not a co worker i want to be around.

This sounds more like IT babysitting.

If IT cant trust software engineers to have full admin rights on a work computer, either the calibur of your co workers is so bad that no one should want to work there, or the IT department has such a god complex, no one should want to work there.

WSL has worked fine for me for the past 4 years.

The thing i do like about tom, is that hes a pilot, and wants to be a pilot. Making a hot rod shuttle, building old muscle cars on the holodeck. Wanting to enter a star race… just wants to go fast.

Hydrogen can be made from water. You get oxygen too.

By wasting a lot of electricity.

Just curious, how is the majority of hydrogen produced/mined/farmed now?

I kinda always assumed it was electrolysis just because the process is so simple.

Also, those ships themselves cant run on batteries. So some fossil or liquid fuels would still be needed in some applications.

Paranoid violence and treachery, greed, AI.

This guy nailed it.
