the worst part of using Docker on windows is that it creates a folder in C:\Users\Username\ named ".docker"Why's that a problem? Because I always open a new terminal and do "cd doc<tab>" which completes to Documents. UNLESS YOU HAVE DOCKER

because windows thinks ".docker" comes before "Documents" when you tab-complete "doc".and it's RUINING MY MUSCLE MEMORY

@foone That's how I felt when I worked at a company where the development manager used case-insensitive completion in emacs, and insisted that we all use a shared configuration for everything. It completely ruined my emacs flow.

@foone That is a remarkably stupid way of completing "d".

@foone @gloriouscow create a symlink to "Documents" called ".doc".

okay I fixed it thanks to some help from @gloriouscow It's like this because of 8.3 filenames. .docker gets a shortname of DOCKER~1

So I moved .docker into a temp directory and ran:fsutil 8dot3name strip /v "C:\Users\Foone Turing\temp"which removes the shortname. move it back, and now it doesn't get tab completed, unless I explicitly type .doc or similar

@foone Cursed knowledge.You know what's worse?If you use WSL in the out-of-the-box configuration, tab completion will ambiguously resolve Windows executables from %PATH%Which is double bad if you happen to want/need/have the same executable in both environments.Took me hours to figure out why I just started something but couldn't see it in `ps` ðŸ˜

@foone To us, Windows 95 was only a small part of our life. But to Windows 95, we were there for its entire life cycle.

@foone Tell that to Broadcom MegaRaid Storage Manager, which requires Java to be installed in a directory without spaces; as an alternative, you can use short path in JRE_HOME global variable (and no, using quotes doesn't work).

@foone The irony here is that old versions of MSM shipped their own Java, and had no problems being installed in Program Files. Recent versions require you to install one of the 3rd party Java 8 distributions (must be x86, x64 won't work), but it has to go to a path without spaces.
