Indeed - While I can understand the need of change, the way this was done and (almost not) communicated is weird : Would I leave a business that were my own baby and in which I put all my heart in the last quarter of a century, I'd have done it with much more party and sound than "Ah, and additional late point of today's meeting : I'm leaving tomorrow. So long, and thank you for the fish". I would not want it for Chris to stop without a happy ending, that would be very ungrateful in regards to what he brought to the world's programming community.

I thought there wasn't a words like that, was the only combination of letters that made any sense.

I went to this word a dozen time but I didn't know this particular spelling. I managed to get it only brcaus ewith 4th and 5th attempt I brute forced most of the unused letters and ended up with an anagram.

Posting this since it's not so easy to find online. But, if you find yourself using WSL and use Beyond Compare (outside of git) on the Windows side, here's a doodle to make your life easier.
In your bash or zsh resource file, add this function and re-source it or logout and back in.
function bcomp() {
local path='/mnt/c/Progra~1/Beyond~1/BComp.exe'
"$path \"$(wslpath -aw "$1")\" \"$(wslpath -aw "$2")\""
}
Now, in your Linux install you can simply do bcomp file1 file2 anywhere and have BC pop up with the diff on your Windows machine.
Tada!
Edit: Here's a git config for using BC in WSL for poops and giggles too. So you can use difftool inside WSL and have it pop up in BC on Windows.
[user]
name = Bro Dude
email = brod@dude.com
[diff]
tool = bc
[difftool "bc"]
cmd = /mnt/c/Progra~1/Beyond~1/BComp.exe "$(wslpath -aw \"$REMOTE\")" "$(wslpath -aw \"$LOCAL\")"
path = /mnt/c/Progra~1/Beyond~1/BComp.exe
trustExitCode = true
[merge]
tool = bc
[mergetool "bc"]
cmd = /mnt/c/Progra~1/Beyond~1/BComp.exe "$(wslpath -aw \"$REMOTE\")" "$(wslpath -aw \"$LOCAL\")" "$(wslpath -aw \"$BASE\")" "$(wslpath -aw \"$MERGED\")"
path = /mnt/c/Progra~1/Beyond~1/BComp.exe
trustExitCode = true
[difftool]
prompt = false
[mergetool]
prompt = false

Do you ever do strange things because you're a computer nerd?
For those of us here who may consider ourselves to be
computer nerds, what unusual things do you do?
|
|
|
|
|
I do strange stuff, but not because I'm a computer nerd. I'm just strange. 
Like, when I get excited, sometimes I get the impulse to tickle my nose. Why? Beats me. But I mean... what nose doesn't need a good tickling every now and again?

I've developed a strange quirk that I can't shake.
I look at other cars' license plates when in traffic. I automatically have to evaluate the characters of each license plate to determine if every character qualifies as a hexadecimal character. If all the characters on a license plate qualify as hexadecimal, I take the first 6 characters and imagine what color that hex code would represent. Once I've got the color in mind, I move on to the next license plate and do it again. I can't stop it. My brain automatically does this whenever I see another car's license plate.
If I see a license plate with characters that match a number sequence matching up to the first 10 digits of pi (e.g. "ABC314"), then that little voice in my mind says "Oh, cool"...

I thought I was the only person that did this
I look for code on license plates but most often what the profession
might be of the car owner
I tried to get Dado the Arizona License Burrow told me it was too close to
Dildo so I asked if I could have that instead She didn't laugh

When I can think of it, sure.

One quirk my friend used to have was -
To move around every small thing on the table (paperweight, mobile, remote, etc) as a mouse, and expect something to move on an imaginary 'screen'.

They used to not be considered strange, but I now work 8+ hours per day, own a home, and don't do social media.
