I am not very familiar with build systems but how difficult would it be to make one that wraps the native ones whenever and provides modern features, unlike make.

Look I'm all against separating children from parents when there is no certain proof that they are being trafficked. There should be a children + assumed-parent holding area.

But when I see Chinese being bussed in to make American babies but hardworking immigrants not being citizens, I am firmly against it

As much as hyper-v. Without sounding disparaging (because this is really cool), its just a one-click application-on-windows-on-hyper-v. So all the pros and cons come with it.


Yeah, I assumed that "sandbox" implied some smarter isolation technique closer to eg Linux namespaces instead of just app-v in a new shiny packaging. Nothing new for the malware-analysis use-case.


Then make Hyper-v home.

Seriously this is a killer feature needed by everybody. And specially the non-pro users.


A lot (most?) of the hardware Home runs on doesn't support hardware virtualization.


Effectively all x86_64 hardware from the last 10+ years supports hardware virtualization, so I can't agree.


Aside from the points made by another reply (BIOS support, older CPUs), some machines have virtualization switched off by default because it's broken. I had a (fairly old) x86-64 laptop that would randomly hardlock while running VMs if I turned on hardware virtualization.


Not necessarily in the Bios settings. And there are CPUs without still.


£2,500 Dell XPS ships Home out of the box unless specified otherwise.

Windows SKU has nothing to do with hardware.

Actually I can't seem to configure that directly from dell to come with Pro lol. Seems there's a question about that too.


With Dell you have to buy the business version of a notebook to get Windows Pro. Your example would be [1][2]. Apart from price the main differences are that the business versions ship with Windows Pro and that they have better warranty (next-day onsite).

The Windows Store in Windows 10 has a "one-click" $99 upgrade from Home to Pro, Dell doesn't really need to offer it as a configuration item anymore.


I want to get a vote on indented nested blocks- how many of you like them? Please up the appropriate child comments (if I'm rate limited someone else please make child comments with like and unlike).

My reasoning (please give yours below proper heading)- I'm deadly afraid of refactoring or even accidental indentation change.


Read very much


Are all your newsletters a blog post too? Because I've been wondering where I can read your stuff in one place.


No, not all of them. But much of the stuff that goes out to the newsletter is later posted on the blog (https://learnui.design/blog) in some format or another.


Okay. Thank you.
