He means utilizing GTK. In sweden its common to say "Utveckla mot xxx" Develop against, when talking about using a framework or library. I bet they say the same thing i Other germanic languages.
I am also interested in this and how the relationship is between those two. For example can we expect features that come to mySQL be merged into mariadb as well?
Oracle has put a TON of work into mysql over the last several years. Innodb group replication is a biggie, but not the only substantial improvement mysql has received over MariaDB.
In my view Windows has always been a great development system. Been doing both php and c# development on windows for years and it always been "start computer, install wamp/editor or visual studio" then you are set and can develop great software.
Here you go, works on default Windows 10/11 install:
- open terminal
- winget install -e --id ojdkbuild.openjdk.11.jdk
> The winget command line tool enables users to discover, install, upgrade, remove and configure applications on Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers. This tool is the client interface to the Windows Package Manager service.
Ah, winget. Another proof that Microsoft never stopped being abusive as fuck.
Inviting over open source developers under false pretenses, milking them for all the knowledge of their projects and then proceeding to ghost them for months before releasing a complete ripoff of the original open source project.
At least they wont suffer a culture clash from the Activision acquisition.
With php its very little difference except that you run Windows and get all the benefints from that regarding drivers and software support, i have yet found an equaly good database manager on linux as heidiSQL(it is unstable in wine) for ex. Also it "feels" easier to click on the wamp installer and just run it from there compared to sudo apt install xyz.
With C# the difference is huge since you just need to install visual studio and you have everything you will need, with the best tooling there is.

How does it compare to the mysql one or MS sql server management studio for that matter?
> Also it "feels" easier to click on the wamp installer and just run it from there compared to sudo apt install xyz.
Wamp installer is windows specific but i'd assume you browse to find the download for it, etc or use winget or chocolately instead of sudo install xyz, etc so i fail to see the advantage there?
Similarly I'd just open pacmac and click to install xampp or so no?
Maybe an equivalent experience can be had using the windows store if WAMP is found on there but i think the windows store is a bit of a disaster still. (It can't seem to grasp that I do not speak French all that well for example)
>With C# the difference is huge since you just need to install visual studio and you have everything you will need, with the best tooling there is.
There's a reason people jokingly call it microsoft java. The second half might be mischaracterizing it on many fronts but the first half is true to form.
I'd argue it as an argument in this matter is similar to bringing up the best platform for developing with Swift.
>How does it compare to the mysql one or MS sql server management studio for that matter?
It dosent compare, but then when working with php and mariadb you dont often use the advanced/esoteric features you have in SQLserver
>Wamp installer is windows specific but i'd assume you browse to find the download for it, etc or use winget or chocolately instead of sudo install xyz, etc so i fail to see the advantage there?
Well there is less configuring with wamp and there are gui tools to manage things, installing the services in linux and setting them up is always a bit more work. I have never tried xampp in linux so it might be equal there.

It being an complete integrated package from the OS to the IDE is the best feature about dotNet. You can look at it the same way as "the lisp machine" but with better third party software support. I guess swift has the same benefits, altho when i tried it the tools where not really up to the same standards as visual studio.
I have yet came across a language platform i cant develop with ease on windows. Also these days with tech such as docker etc there really are no boundaries.

In a general purpose development context I consider it a downside. In the same way that I don't consider it a boon for XCode & the like that I can't run it on my machine and will need to go buy a mac.
When it comes to a more general purpose development context I find that a lot of things have this "if you are on windows" asterisk. From recent memory it can go from the rustup installation page just referring to a completely different page or rediscovering that text files having diverging line endings there or needing to do some workarounds when making commandline tools in such low level languages so that they'll also work on windows, needing to bundle some redistributable dll in your installer to make things work on windows even if you used visual studio on windows to make your binary. They'd work everywhere except windows because vcruntime isn't statically linked by default or something.
Given PHP being mentioned think this was also the reason it took so long for various PHP functions to become available on windows in the past (Not sure if they're all available now. I haven't kept up).
I remember discussions from back then with complaints about Windows being a second class citizen for php when that wasn't really the case rather it was just more often the odd one out.
I really dont see how soybean oil in by itself causes obesity as is stated in the article. If you don exceed your daily caloric intace then you wont gain weight no matter what kind of oil you eat.
Some foods can cause your satiety system to go bad and you then feel hungry and consume more food. Not everyone counts calories and says "oh, I've eaten too much today, better stop", some people (like me) actually feel real pain when they are hungry and going hungry lowers you willpower which you need to keep not eating and inflict pain on yourself.
Literally everyone feels pain when hungry. The trick is realizing its perfectly goddamn normal and you don't have to eat a 1000 calorie meal because of hunger pains.
It's certainly more complicated than that. I spent a year and a half trying to be in a calorie deficit, meticulously tracking every calorie and wasn't able to lose weight, because I wasn't able to stay in a calorie deficit long enough.
Recently switched to keto, which has the primary function of lowering insulin levels and reduction of feelings of hunger. And within 2 months I'm 18 lbs down.
It's not simply a matter of Calories in/calories out, the kinds of calories you eat matter. 2000 calories of donuts vs 2000 of beef are vastly different nutrient profiles and you will have corresponding health effects accordingly.
CICO is mostly true if you already have a balanced diet, if you eat 2000kcal of ultra processed food you'll have side effects you wouldn't have with a cleaner diet. The body is a fine tuned machine, it doesn't process 100kcal of sugar the same way it processed 100kcal of broccoli
Whilst that is true, in neither case will it extract the full kcal, since that was calculated by completely burning the food (in a calorimeter). If you burn more than 100kcal you will not gain weight no matter what. You might still get fatter, but your total mass cannot increase if you burn more calories than you consume unless you violate conservation of energy.
I am so weirded out that almost nobody seems to acknowledge that calorie numbers have no actual meaning with the way digestion processes food in a human body. Relying on food consumption advice that's based on calorie numbers and math is invariably wrong, the only way it might happen to have any meaningful impact is because low numbers mean lower overall quantities.
Also the way calories are "counted" in exercise is absolutely bogus for individuals because it rarely takes into account their physiology and basically uses made up numbers of various exercise types.
I am guessing that chronic inflammation can lead to weight gain through fluid leakage into tissues (effectively trapping more non-caloric water weight in the body).
I have a thinkpad X1 bought in 2019(idk which gen) its horrible as a linux laptop, mainly because of the scaling issues. But also the touchpad is not good. Its quite bad in windows but even worse in linux. The battery get empty much faster in linux as well.
Another annoying thing about it that has nothing to do with the os is that the trackpoint randomly makes the pointer "drift" and theres nothing you can do when that happens except to wait for it to stop. It seems to be sort of a common thing on thinkpads and i have gotten lenovo to replace my trackpoint and its still an issue.
Same here, I have spent an INORDINATE amount of hours trying to fix this exact same trackpad issue on two generations of Thinkpad X-series, and it just. doesn't. work. My next linux laptop will be a Framework.
