What I have now is stock Windows installation. I would like to turn it into something that feels comfortable for development. Obviously a lot depends on what exactly I want to do with it, but for this thread I want to keep things wide in scope. Basically I want to get some software and configuration recommenations like people give each other in r/unixporn. For example on Linux, some people can't live without tmux, or tiling wm, or fish shell, so I want to hear similar recommentations for Windows. What do you use?

I'm thinking about self-service portals on websites here. When you search in a help desk or a knowledge base, which gives the best results according to you? Do you prefer something that is keyword + synonym like Algolia, or something that works kind of like Google (semantic understanding)?

I set up a company through stripe Atlas and I'm not a US resident or citizen but I'm interested in accessing sbir and other government solicitations because I think that kind of non VC funding would be a good fit for the type of products that I want to build. in order to do that I would need a 50% us co-founder or partner. has anyone taken a similar route and what was your experience? or what advice do you have?

The past few years have been a blur of falling in love, marriage, pregnancies, and births. Now, I find myself the father of an infant baby and a two-year old. I’m trying to do my best by them and limiting screen time to facetime with out of town relatives. My wife uses her phone to share pictures. At barely two, our toddler is starting to ask to “see see” the phone more and more. Any tips?

I am on a weight loss journey and lately i see a lot of diet trends happening like intermittent fasting, keto, carnivore etc. I tried some of those but found that nothing restrictive like that would work for me long term. What i mean by that is that i cannot be healthy for me to avoid fruit if i am doing the keto diet or just eat meat and nothing else. I am trying to be more healthy and changing what i eat is part of that so i am wondering what has worked for you guys? Exercise is also important but i've been told that i cannot do weightlifting since i have neck hernia.

My boss has suggested for me to attend a Doulos Embedded security course[1] but I don’t want to travel. Any suggestions for some online courses (free or paid) I could do? Any experiences with learning about security you are willing to share? We make embedded Linux products that run a lot of legacy code written in C/C++ that have huge security holes. I need to learn how to close the holes and improve our design practices for future development. [1] http://bit.ly/2UUk4IJ
