It’s a trend in road cycling at least. You completely degrease the chain and then dip it in a special hot wax. Apparently it lasts longer than oil and doesn’t attract dirt.

I do have to oil the chain on my bike every now and then though. (I know about waxing, haven’t made the jump yet)

Oh, it does show up on desktop, not on mobile however.

I know right? It even has var with implicit typing now. While I prefer Kotlin any day, there’s been quite a few qol improvements to Java over the last few years.

Yup, it’s great!

Since Java 21, this has been shortened significantly. https://www.baeldung.com/java-21-unnamed-class-instance-main

That’s just having good people as friends.

It’s also 80€ in Europe. Everyone I talked to is waiting for the price to drop, including me.

My friend’s name is literally “Long”. I think that counts.

I didn’t even notice. However now that I’m aware, I like that it’s not shown. Displaying a total score just incentivises karma farming.

I don’t think that, as Microsoft hasn’t done a lot (any?) of that stuff in recent years. It’s good to be cautious but really what is the problem with opening the source for something that already existed for a while and is embraced by many?

WSL allows me to develop in a Linux environment while still enjoying my very custom Windows setup and programs that I am used to. So no, WSL did not make me choose a side, but instead helps me to get the best of both worlds at once.

It’s a reference to The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.

That would be the optimal case, however in reality, limited runs and other marketing tactics heavily manipulate people into buying overpriced stuff they don’t need. I think it’s unfair to put all the responsibility of deciding what acceptable prices are on the buyer, when companies spend billions in researching marketing tactics. That’s why there needs to be more guard rails coming from governments, so that consumers can’t be abused as much.
