Fifth thing: Bricker of Windows

https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/1549

Still pissed my HP Windows laptop was bricked from it a few months ago. I’ll never use it for anything.

I use containers on Mac and Windows for development (and we deploy on linux). Docker for Mac is _unusably_ slow in my experience. The VM that it runs is a giant resource hog and a battery hog, and doesn't support ipv6 [0] Docker Desktop itself is (another) resource hog, wildly buggy, and painfully slow. It's the epitome of "shitty electron app".

On windows, docker desktop has all of the same issues as it does on mac. Docker's concept of volumes and file permissions on windows are nonsense. Windows updates and Docker Desktop regularly decide to disagree, [1] It's networking support interferes with other applications (like OpenVPN and the Xbox Game Center) [2].

I have a GitHub post here I made that goes into more detail: https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/13320

possibly related to https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/13324 ?

> FWIW, when denying the request to wootric, the docker daemon crashes.

A yes, this about fits the standard of engineering I've come to expect from Docker.

Anyway, I couldn't find any references too "woocentric" anywhere in the code; looks like this part isn't open source? I did find this other issue: https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/12718 with a comment from May 2022:

"At some point we found out that bugsnag was actually sending a «session creation» request of some sort when initialized, even if no crash was actually being reported. We believed we had fixed that, but I just checked with a MITM proxy and it appears to have regressed… There may be some other services doing something similar without us realizing (wootric, …).

We have created a ticket in our internal backlog to review all this."

Docker Github issue

I ran into this error ( no matching manifest for linux/amd64 in the manifest list entries ), so I tried again on my Windows machine. But then I realized that Docker on Windows actually just runs on WSL2, and it's technically Linux as well! Supposedly, I can switch to Windows containers by clicking on "Switch to Linux container...", but I guess apparently not on Windows 10 Home?? https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/9701

BTW, as an alternative to swiper, you can check out consult-line and related commands from consult.

Consult is what you are looking for: https://github.com/minad/consult In particular try consult-ripgrep

Emacs has code peek.

With lsp-mode it has that little window: https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-ui/#lsp-ui-peek

Personally I use eglot with consult which temporarily switches the entire buffer to do the "peek" functionality rather than popping up a tiny window: https://github.com/minad/consult

Thanks for working on this! I just added a consult--maybe-recenter function in a recent commit. This is a nice idea since it can reduce the jumpiness of Consult preview quite a bit.

An example relevant to your list would be some changes many people are taking with their completion framework - using package that leverage core emacs functionality rather than replacing it with a complete package that 'overrides' it. Consult, vertico, orderless and associate packages come to mind here. If you do a bit of a search you'll find plenty of info. Here is a video from Prot on the subject, but there are many others as well. I think Prot actually went on to write his own completion system to overlay native emacs functionality as well.

For the "lauch workspaces", I use burly which just uses simple bookmarks. Then with consult, I just use C-x b, then m to narrow to bookmarks and I have all the workspaces available (remote as well).

Wow, interesting that my response is getting down voted. It seems not enough that I give away my work for free. Nevertheless I appreciate support from the community, as other Emacs package developers. The support is actually helpful. To clarify, publishing my configuration would translate into quite a bit of work, requiring separation of private and public bits.

They're still coming in. This one is from yesterday: https://github.com/minad/consult/issues/793

If you like meow-visit also try imenu it is built into Emacs and can be very useful either by itself or as part of consult. consult also has a consult-mark function that can be helpful, meow kind of breaks it since it makes a lot of marks.
