What's Your Primary Operating System for Development on Your PC/Laptop?
If (like me) you're stuck on Windows, WSL2 is really awesome. It's super fast, and requires very minimal setup to get it up and running. The VS Code integration is superb. You can even connect USB devices to WSL now, which makes it very suitable for embedded. You get nearly the performance of a full OS install, unlike a typical VM. On my machine it's about 50% faster than Virtualbox.

Planespotting with Rust: using nom to parse ADS-B messages
ADS-B is a protocol used by aircrafts to broadcast their position, altitude, speed, and other information. Nowadays, the majority of aircrafts broadcast ADS-B messages constantly. Anyone with the right equipment can listen to these messages. You can buy a relatively cheap USB dongle with an antenna on Amazon and install drivers for it on Linux. In my case I used usbipd-win to mount the USB device inside Ubuntu running in WSL2. Then I installed the Linux drivers and dump1090, a program that makes use of these drivers and then outputs ADS-B messages in a format that is easy to parse. While you can use dump1090 to display a neat table full of information about aircrafts, I wanted to use its raw output capabilities to parse ADS-B messages myself. It starts a simple TCP server that outputs raw ADS-B messages wrapped in Mode-S Beast frames. I'm not sure what Beast means, but I found something that looks like its spec here.

Expansion Cards - Are they detected as a seperate device?
Hi, I'm using usbipd to redirect USB devices to a remote virtual machine (USB/IP) for my work and I'd like to know if the expansion cards are detected as their own devices, especially the Ethernet expansion card.

WSL2 on Zen4 Ryzen: similar performance to running bare metal Linux
What about USB devices support ?
Is there any more integrate solution than:

Formatting a micro SD card via a USB adapter with WSL2 and Windows 11
I installed usbipd as outlined here. When I run lsusb, I can see my USB drive:

Windows Terminal is now the default Windows 11 22H2 console
Though I see https://github.com/dorssel/usbipd-win may actually work properly as a full usb passthrough now for WSL2?

Use your Steam Deck as an expensive game controller
For server (e.g. machine that provides devices), https://github.com/dorssel/usbipd-win is a bit more mature - they grabbed the driver infrastructure from virtualbox to handle the issues with code signing.

Why doesn't my Windows 7 Virtual Machine on Hyper-V detect my iPod Touch 2nd Generation, and how do I get Hyper-V to detect it?
Check this project out. Works with WSL. Should work with Hyper-V too https://github.com/dorssel/usbipd-win

Deleting Software I Wrote Upon Leaving Employment of a Company
> convince management of the value
This presupposes that such convincing is even possible. Many, many companies have leadership that are simply terrible at identifying value. If you've never been part of a majority of developers advocating for, if not outright begging for, some huge ROI initiative to get the green light, you are very fortunate.
There are great counterexamples, like Valve, which is known for giving developers an extreme degree of autonomy, and they benefit greatly from that approach. For each Valve, though, there are dozens of companies that manage to succeed despite themselves.
Take Microsoft, for example. One tiny, yet representative, example: the way the Windows Terminal team handled a suggestion from Casey Muratori to take their software from abysmally slow to lightning fast:
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10362
A quote from one of the Terminal developers, dismissing the suggestion:
> I believe what you’re doing is describing something that might be considered an entire doctoral research project in performant terminal emulation as “extremely simple” somewhat combatively…
Just how difficult was such an endeavor in actuality? Well, given that Casey implemented his own terminal emulator from scratch and incorporated the functionality he was proposing in a mere weekend... not a whole lot. Relatively minor effort for a huge return on investment. It took Casey explaining the concepts, then providing a working proof of concept, and finally a bunch of backlash online towards the Terminal team to get them to do the right thing for themselves and their users.

A glimpse into the universe where Windows died with the 1980s
At this point ConHost.exe is open source [0] so it is maybe not a stretch to expect Microsoft to open source CMD.EXE at some point.
Though with PowerShell being cross-platform and already open source, I personally don't think there's enough to gain in some sort of better open source CMD.EXE fork. I'd be interested in being proved wrong on that, but I'm also happy enough with PowerShell these days I'm not in a hurry to return to CMD.EXE.

Windows 11 looks to be getting a key Linux tool added in the future
"Users of Linux and macOS may well be familiar with the sudo command, used regularly in the terminal, and it looks like Windows may finally be getting its own version."
More Linux tools are coming to Windows, especially Windows Server because the tools are good and they make it easier to administer a Windows Server.
They are looking at adding a default TUI text editor (https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/discussions/16440) and now they are adding sudo.
I would not be surprised if systemd or something like it gets ported or reinvented for Windows simply because it makes managing services so nice.

On Being Listed as an Artist Whose Work Was Used to Train Midjourney
>We are allowed to view and consume it, to be influenced by it, and under many circumstances even outright copy it.
People keep saying this but it's actually much more complicated, and in many cases you can't view copyrighted content.
An example, MicroSoft employees are not permitted to view or learn from an open source (GPL-2) terminal emulator:
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10462#issuecomm...
Another example is proprietary software that may have it's source available, either intentionally or not. If you view this and then work on something related to it, like WINE for example, you are definitely at risk of being successfully sued.
If you worked at MicroSoft and worked on Windows, you would not be able to participate in WINE development at all without violating copyright.
If you viewed leaked Windows source code you also would not be able to participate in WINE development.
An interesting question that I have, is whether training on proprietary, non-trade-secret sources would be allowed. Something like unreal engine, where you can view the source but it's still proprietary.

Assume its related to this:

It's nothing serious just microsoft engineers writing slow as shit code and reacting poorly to someone trying to help.
