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.
>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.
>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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do you really use all of that computing power for the stuff that is running on the server. All of the home lab setups i have seen have been way over powered and under used. Lots of "wasted" computing power to just be powered on and never really utilized.
The real need of any home server has really dissapeard now when there are cheap services for everything and all of them do it better than any setup am willing to dedicate my time on. If you really want something just buy a cheap NAS and it will run everything you want with minimal setup.
Unless you want to learn how to setup a server ie "home lab", but then its more cheaper and more efficient to rent a cheap vm on linode.
The era where you had an old computer from your office in a closet to host your website, music, email, and such is long gone.
Most people born with family whealth waste the money and loose it in a few generations. Very few manage to turn their resources into facebook, tesla or amazon.
