I've been reading Matt Strassler's blog for over a decade now.
I really like how unlike other science communicators in many of his articles he assumes you have some university level education. It explains concepts I have not found outside actual textbooks but in a way that is very understandable to an engineer such as myself.
At home, I use VMware Player and BlueStacks under Windows. In Linux, a just straight up use Qemu. I have shell scripts to launch my different VMs with the appropriate parameters.
At work I use Qemu for Windows with batch files to launch my VMs. I have hyper v enabled and Qemu performs quite well using the whp accelerator.
My workplace doesn't want to pay for a solution and the IT department is so paranoid about VirtualBox that they have a tool that periodically scans our laptop and automatically uninstalls it if it's detected.
33, as I think PlayStore demanded it. I had it working on quite old devices as the project was "sitting on shelf" for long time. I'll look if I can somehow publish "backports" via PlayStore.
Where I work, our target devices run RHEL but many of our dev workstations run Rocky Linux.
If the software I write behaves on my workstation but then malfunctions on my target device because a bug was only fixed in Rocky Linux, that would be very annoying.
I want stuff to run the exact same way on both so that I can develop workarounds if needed before even deploying to the targets.
I just finished it last night. It's certainly a fun read but I felt a little underwhelmed in the technical aspect of things. I don't think the author is a programmer so I can't really blame him. I recall the book describing DirectX as a programming language at one point.
That's exactly the kind of topics they explore.
