  • Something I recently realised about why people still prefer Windows is that things like scheduled tasks and service management have UIs that are really decent and come right out of the box.

    The theoretically best systemd GUI tool I could find was only available through AUR and git. I know that’s a solvable problem, but it’s far from (Win) -> type:“serv” -> (Services) -> work.

















  • Though even statically-typed languages can need to check types sometimes; parsing runtime data for instance. I can see how you’d do that with pure statics, but it’d just be shifting the work (e.g. if token == QUOTE: proc.call(read_str(bytes, len))). It’d be cool to see a counter example that isn’t unreadable gibberish, however.
