I removed the write protection screw, upgraded my ssd, flashed on a new bios from https://mrchromebox.tech/ , and installed galliumOS--originally I used chrubuntu, then straight ubunutu. Everything works great. Even installed display link drivers, so I can dock to 2 monitors at work. Can you open arbitrarily large text files/directories in atom these days? Whenever, I open anything over a few thousand LOC atom seems…

I had someone on here mention the write protection screw removal method to me before, I just couldn't bring myself to do it on my Pixel 2. But I should try it, I'm glad to hear someone say it worked out great for them. I definitely want to still be able to boot into the normal Chrome OS because it's preferable to me when I'm not working. I think I see what you're saying. Maybe it's because the pixel is actually a bea…

The pixel is in fact a beast. I almost bought one, but was worried about the tiny ssd. Do you find space limiting at all?

VS Code has been stellar for JS and Go. The ruby experience has been pretty meh. Definitely depends on language/community support.

Because Microsoft pays people to shill for them on media sources like Hackernews.

Have you compared the two? Let's say there are "shills" on HN - it doesn't change the fact that many people see obvious differences in performance between the two editors. It's objectively verifiable. Maybe you're an anti-MS shill

I'm shilling for anti-shilling.

The team Microsoft really seems to be invested in this free code editor. It's great strategic marketing. Making Visual Studio Code costs a fraction of what Microsoft spent on the Surface RT marketing campaign (as an example), and the benefits to their image are much more powerful and long-lasting. The Microsoft brand has been completely reborn in the eyes of developers over the past few years. The lows of 2007-2010 s…

> The Microsoft brand has been completely reborn in the eyes of developers over the past few years. The lows of 2007-2010 seem a distant memory. Maybe in the eyes of some developers - for many of us who are still dependent on MS products that haven't been getting much attention (SQL Server and it's related BI tools), the lows are still getting lower. Sure, there's improvements in the overall functionality (with SQL 2…

What about Microsoft's investment in R and integrating it with SQLServer? Seems like at least it's a step in the right direction.

I don't get the end game though, what is the strategy? Ultimately, if you end up using Linux .net core + typescript, they seem to be killing off visual studio, IIS, Windows Server, etc. For what? Azure, glorified hosting that might end up a race to the bottom vs AWS & GCE? Selling SQL server licences? I just don't get the strategy. I'm genuinely asking, where is this actually taking them apart from burning a bunch of…

It doesnt kill of anything, it only opens up Microsoft tech (and it's developers) to more technologies.

You can still use Visual Studio to build everything, and many will continue to do so, over VSCode. IIS is free. Windows Server is the only thing that they might lose out on licensing but they make it up with Azure running the underlying infrastructure. SQL Server is a great database and formidable opponent to the Oracle and other enterprise options while still being available for SMBs.

Meanwhile, many developers can now be introduced to the rich .NET ecosystem and run it alongside their other open-source/linux stacks, only growing the overall exposure and tools, applications, and revenue involved for Microsoft.
