I wrote a simple console program to easily configure hundreds of different color schemes for your WSL terminal: https://commentout.net/wsl-colors.html

Once again, I think that's more of a statement on how he achieves his goals, not how he arrives at goals in the first place. For instance, there's an inherent conflict between free…

By "vague statements" I was referring to his comments on "America winning" or "being great again." Does Art of the Deal describe those statements in detail?

This is the Art of the Deal : 1. Think big 2. Protect the downside and the upside will take care of itself 3. Maximize your options 4. Know your market 5. Use your leverage 6. Enha…

I see no contradiction. You seem to believe that either winning elections or making money are satisfactory demonstrations of intelligence (as meant by IQ, or g ). I do not. I would…

> figures based on Forbes estimate of his net worth. You know Forbes is just a business magazine, and just a small one at that? They don't have any privileged information. They pro…

Except that all the numbers on his net worth are based just on his word and he's clearly a serial liar. Interestingly, I think the fact that he's quite stupid may be how he succeed…

Is Edge + the new Windows Application Guard similar in protection?

Read the source for the compiler and find all the differences. There are constantly minor semantic changes, like numeric conversions, double parsing, scope of generated temps in fo…

The breakdown of the rule of law is probably worse in that it will contain all the aforementioned, and more.

The difference between populism and democracy is that populists always claim to speak "for the people" even if the people are divided. They'll even take action against the majority…

And despite lambda calculus being written entirely using single letter variable names, Scheme programmers all use proper word-size variable names in their programs. Mathematics not…

You are the one who imputed that 'cmurf referred to all parties named the Republican Party, rather than the more logical interpretation as the current party named the Republican Pa…

This is simply not true. I was there when my entire org got rid of its test team and the people who stayed were not more likely to be H1B holders. If anything, the reverse was true…

I wouldn't say that's what most people mean by parallel, but in that case I think you're better off building a layer on top of the compiler for that. For instance, provided determi…

I don't agree. Before we moved to Git, Roslyn was on TFS, which was basically Perforce/CVS/SVN. You're absolutely right that the distinction among the former VCS's is minimal. Howe…

Most of the .NET repos are structured to use inner and outer loop testing with Jenkins. Most tests on most architectures are run in the inner loop, which are kicked off in parallel…

It depends on what you mean by parallel. Certainly the Roslyn C# compiler is highly parallel. All files are parsed in parallel, then all classes are bound (semantically analyzed) i…

You can get that in VS via the Interactive Window (View->Other Windows->C# Interactive). Theoretically you could implement a completion system for the terminal but we reused the WP…

Appeal to authority is only deductively invalid, not inductively invalid.

Arenas have fast allocation (because you often have no freelist and just increment the end). They also allow you to quickly reclaim old data, which is important for a database beca…

You don't seem to understand how performance benchmarking works. Unless you seek to optimize a single application, a benchmark is meant to be broadly representative of a wide categ…

I think the only point being made by the article is that their focus seems to be on pause times above all else.

These tests don't seem to specifically test GC, so it doesn't seem to be a good comparison. Comparing Go and C# as languages don't seem to be the goal of this exercise, either. Ins…
