The only actual _windows_ problem of those you listed is that uninstalling software is a hassle. That said, it isn't a walk in the park on Mac either.

Can't use Emacs on Windows? Use any other editor. Can't setup VM in VirtualBox? A VirtualBox (maybe) problem

If you go on Windows expecting the same environment as OSX or whatever OS you're on, you're going to have a bad time. Booting up a fresh Debian install feels better because you know what to do already.

Booting up a fresh Debian install for anyone else is likely to be an almost impossible undertaking without reading some kind of guide, if you're wanting to setup a proper dev environment.

There are problems in any platform you chose, you're probably just subconsciously sidestepping those in your process of setting up, while the Windows ones stick out to you.

Example problems I notice on Mac that are fine on Windows; Docker is extremely slow, I need to run it inside a Linux VM for any kind of proper developing Window management is horrible Installing software

Now, I'm no advocate for any OS, I love running Arch Linux with i3wm, I love OSX and I love Windows. I don't see any reason at all to hate any OS, I can setup my dev environment on practically any platform I could want with little or no difference. The only things that change are the things around my environment, the simplicity of i3wm, the task bar on OSX etc.

In my opinion Linux is the outlier here, which provides the greatest change in environment, not a bad one mind you, just a difference. Mac and Windows are mostly interchangable, I can switch betweem them with little overhead.

Oh, really? Do they have any plans to?

I think that was the point he was trying to make? That womens perception of bad treatment because they are women, might in fact be a generic bad treatment of employees as you say. I can agree that it might be plausible in the cases where the bad treatment is coming from a higher level, and is not blatantly sexual harassment.

Bad treatment amongst co-workers on the same level will almost always be because they either don't like you or [if you're a woman] because of your gender.

Now, I have no idea if the women that are complaining about bad treatment just defaulted to "I'm getting badly treated because I'm a woman" or if they considered that they're not well liked, but it might be an important distinction to make.

Have you tried just creating problems that applying the mathematics you're trying to learn would solve?

Yeah, this was my problem as well (if I'm understanding your point correctly).

I could only do very basic math because I got bored, or my retention rate was very low. I'd go through the excercises but it wouldn't stick in my brain.

Eventually I figured out I just couldn't handle theoretical, like on the paper, stuff. So I started making up scenarios where what I were trying to learn would actually be applicable and create small programs that illustrated it, and suddenly I started to actually remember the stuff.

I assume he means something like the real ids being divisible by 2, while the fake ids are not.
