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

Deno 1.27 4 years ago

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

Bun v0.2.0 4 years ago

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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
