For those complaining that they need it sorted by date:

    curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codelani/codelani/master/langs.csv \
        | awk -F "," '{print $NF, $0}' \
        | sort -n                      \
        | sed "s/^[^ ]* //"            \
        | less
This will fetch the CSV, copy the date to the front, sort it, then remove the date.

There are a lot of entries that don't have dates. If you want to remove them, pipe the result through:

    grep -v ",$"

ddp commented on What are good linux laptops for 2018?    · Posted by u/reconbot

Here's my experience. If you develop everything locally, get a decent laptop with Ubuntu or Windows 10 Pro.

Windows 10 Pro Edition comes with WSL, a Linux subsystem which is pretty decent for my deep learning implementation and small scale test. With Xming, I can do some visualization as well. There will be downsides. If you get a laptop that just comes with Ubuntu or any Linux distro, you are good to go.

If your development is cloud based, Google is push Chrome OS into a Linux friendly direction. Chromebooks are pretty good choices, price-wise, functionality-wise and portability-wise, you name it. At the time of writing (July 20s, 2018), Pixelbook and a few more Chromebooks receive the support of Linux container. More will be supported.

I haven't used it enough to know what its limits are but there's a lot to like with Windows Subsystem for Linux running either Ubuntu or Debian. Compared with macOS, it's current (apt-get to your heart's content), as opposed to macOS' terminal environment, which is hopelessly out of date. I really like what Microsoft is doing here.
