Think twice before abandoning X11. Wayland breaks everything!

tl;dr: Wayland is not "the future", it is merely an incompatible alternative to the established standard with a different set of priorities and goals.

Wayland breaks everything! It is binary incompatible, provides no clear transition path with 1:1 replacements for everything in X11, and is even philosophically incompatible with X11. Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating e

This is a RESTful Rails controller, implementing all 7 RESTful actions. In my Rails apps, 9 out of 10 controllers will end up looking like this.

  end

Here is how they look:

Changing the default VM Path in VMWare Fusion on OSX Yosemite:

I had a little trouble figuring this out - so making a note of it. The VMWare Fusion default location for VMs is ~/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized, which doesnt work well for me as I typically have Documents symbolically linked to my Dropbox directory and prefer to move the default VM location rather than manage exclusions on every Dropbox install I have.

It's relatively straightforward on VMWare Workstation, and Oracle VirtualBox - but for some reason

Traditional way

my_key_link: 'World'
my_key: 'Hello %{link}!'                      link: link_to(t('my_key_link'), 'xy')
'Hello <a href="xy">World</a>!'
