I don't have a yard of my own, but my friend has one. A few years ago, I told him to use this bucket method and throw away the water to kill the wiggles of the mosquitoes, but he didn't want to believe it or he was just reluctant to do the work

nope, not fair, virtualbox for example doesn't use whpx on windows while it has kvm backend on linux now

vmware is bloated, I prefer not to register an account to download it as well. hyper-v uses FreeRDP and that requires the guest distribution to support it AFAIK, so it's not a easy out-of-the-box solution

and I do use qemu on linux, just at the surface level, with libvirt with virt-manager, it's easy to configure with the UI

There is still no proper documentation for using qemu on windows host, the options and arguments etc. We have to google and the info and ideas that are scattered across the internet, or referencing the Linux equivalents of it to come up with a solution

Edge TTS 1 year ago

Thanks for sharing this, I learnt that Edge on mobile has TTS as well but I have never used it on desktop or mobile

Now that I try it on desktop, it's really good! I might try to use the python script in the future

creating indexes will lock the tables if not mistaken, the problem about database is that many of us just don't study enough to make sense out of it

My bad, I didn't mean to insult you. I meant it as a criticism

By GP, u/blitzar's comment, my cognition tells me that his comment meant anyone can break AES 256-bit encryption, including Apple, but in this context, he could have meant everyone else

good engineers choose their own tools

otherwise, they are bad engineers, period

keep your strong opinions to yourself and don't be judgemental

you can, however, criticize their workdone instead of their tools

Svelte 5 Released 2 years ago

From users' point of view, they only care about the performance really

Some e-commerce apps use React in WebView on Android and the apps will become unresponsive after visiting several product pages (more than 10 probably). They have to be force closed and opened to be used again

those who said using an IDE is better for tasks like the article describes, I would say, not really

I have experienced a number of cases where IDEs were opened but they were useless, and I had to grep+find+vim+tmux for everything in front of ex-colleagues who didn't know better

1. a python codebase written for web scraping, this project can single-handedly be used to teach people how to not write python

2. production service in linux bare-metal servers where nginx + lua files were used for load balancing, backend written in go a few years ago, and there were php files as well

3. php and typescripts large codebases, debuggers were used as well, and no, no one could reason with the problematic areas, particularly on multiple inheritance diamond problems. I was never contented with my successful attempts to adding code in them

I don't know how useful IDEs can be in these cases, but no one other than me in those ex-companies could handle them. I even lent my laptop with IDE and full environment to some supposedly-very-senior colleagues, they could only avoid the problems at best

edit: and for a project like chrome, [Fixing a bug in Google Chrome as a first-time contributor](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41355303)

From there, just about everything answers itself with a couple days of reading code and poking at machines, particularly from the output of `lsof` (log files, config files, what the service talks to).

Half of these questions could be answered with grep and once you get proficient at grep, you can answer questions faster, and more importantly, more accurately than the people who work on the services themselves.

SREs can own the whole development process you mean?

edit: in HN you probably want to use intellJ for everything, don't even mention grep please, they don't know what that is
