You don’t have to go ballistic!


Ditto, but .net dev for ~20 years, now fully Linux for personal compute. Workplace is making a beeline for mac / linux full stack, and completely ditching Windows.


For starters, Python uses IEEE 754, and Excel uses IEEE 754 (with caveats). I wonder if that's being emulated.


What does that even mean?


  For a while, Docker seemed to focus on developer experience.
ahh yes, docker desktop, where the error messages are "something went wrong", and the primary debugging step is to wipe it, uninstall, and reinstall.


It is honestly incredible that such an important part of the Windows dev process is nearly unusable. It is easily the most fickle and opaque bit of software that I am required to depend upon.


Yep. I used to have a ton of problems with Docker in Windows.

It has been a year without problems since I enabled WSL2 engine for Docker.

Honestly they should make the WSL2 Docker engine mandatory because otherwise things barely work.


Docker on Windows issues, back before WSL had matured enough, gave a pretty compelling argument for doing windows development on OSX inside a VM.


at work, i opted for remote development workspace because of this problem. Windows & Docker ain't meant to be together :(


Windows is the problem, not Docker. Just try wsl2 and you’ll see…


That's a very naive take. The issue is Docker Desktop, a buggy mess. I have plenty of well-functioning, complex Windows applications with detailed troubleshooting utilities.


Yeah, it's all naive when it doesn't work for you. It's naive using Windows.


Yup. How many years did I go where the most frequently pushed button in the Docker Desktop UI was "reset my installation"?


nah, you rely on your coworkers to review your slop!


It shouldn't be surprising to see people who know Venetian Snares on here!

If you're up for it, trade a music rec?

Try:

Scorpion Mother - Thief https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A3113EQvLg


I found Venetian Snares last year and one of their songs made my year-in-review: https://wonger.dev/posts/2025#music

Certain Indian music and metal seems to scratch a similar itch for me. And of course orchestra and drum n bass.


huh that's some pretty decent gothy noises
