Looking back at the previous article <https://www.linux.com/blog/learn/2018/2/windows-subsystem-linux-bridge-between-two-platforms>, I see In the past these developers, especially web developers, who worked on servers running Linux had a few choices: run a Linux distro inside a VM on their Windows 10 machines or use workarounds like Cygwin. Both solutions had limitations and neither was ideal. And yet, it seems the Cygwin people were able to figure out how to get the select()/poll() calls <https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.api.net-functions> working with file handles under Windows, while WSL cannot handle it.
