If you haven't used something like i3/sway/awesomewm/hyprland on the linux side you won't know what you're missing.

While there are several apps to create custom keyboard commands, only yabai+skhd come close to what's available on linux, and it's not even that close tbh.


I’ve used i3 and awesomewm and bspwm etc etc. I’d be happy to never use them again!


yabai is as close as I've seen, but yeah nothing close to awesomewm or even something like sawywm


In the data science/engineering world apache arrow is the bridge between languages, so you don't actually need to serialize into language specific structures which is really nice


GA flights will typically broadcast over 978MHz UAT, and in controlled airspace TIS-B can share context across frequencies.

But yeah, it's still not required unless you are flying in rule airspace: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/equipadsb/researc...


My school just had an official cls file, so my initial setup was just to download the template. So if that's where you're coming from (the journals I submitted to also had official templates), it's really minimal setup.


Does PDM manage C/Fortran library dependencies? IIRC conda was the only solution for managing both native and python dependencies but I haven't really looked elsewhere.

With wheels and the manylinux specifications there's less of a usecase for that, but still could be useful


Not sure about Fortran - but C for sure, yes.


Where does it fetch the C packages from? I always thought PDM was a _Python_ package manager, so the only source is PyPI or another index.


PDM has plugins, such as being able to invoke conda commands: https://github.com/pdm-project/awesome-pdm

Otherwise I don't know what they're talking about, it is indeed a Python package manager.


conda doesn't just package python libraries, but also the C/Fortran/other bits that the scipy stack often depended on. With the rise of binary wheels that is less needed though


How is it easier to setup a linux dev environment in WSL than in https://containertoolbx.org/ or https://distrobox.it/ or just in Linux directly?


I meant if you're using Windows to begin with


I'm confused, in what world does running Linux require more RAM than Windows?

The suspend/hibernate on laptops isn't that great, but tbh I never had great results on windows either (macos is decent though).

And uptimes for desktop systems are similarly just limited by whenever there's a kernel update.


I meant overhead you need to spend in RAM to run WSL2


How the flights plans get routed is also of interest, they typically go through AFTN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeronautical_Fixed_Telecommuni...
