Yup, and it actually wasn't working until fairly recently (maybe a few months ago? I was keeping an eye on it for a while). But yeah, it's even fully integrated into NixOS options …

I'm a PM and I ended up graduating with an econ BA instead of a CS degree, but I took a few intro CS classes at UCLA in...2011/2012. Intro to Programming 1 and 2 were taught in C++…

I read all of it, as well as some more of your writings that I found, and I very much appreciate your thoughtfulness. I don't agree with everything you've said here, but you raise …

Unfortunately, we can't ever change that one, or the whole world of existing stuff will break. It's intended as a shell semantic where anything bare on the command line just gets r…

Good to know! I've generally understood that the bar for package inclusion for both Debian and Ubuntu is fairly high (where Debian wants you to push to them and Ubuntu will pull fr…

We've fixed a ton of these in PowerShell 7 (pwsh.exe, as opposed to Windows PowerShell / powershell.exe), particularly because we needed to support Linux and more of its semantics.…

Thanks for the thoughtful response! Many of these are totally legitimate: in particular, we're making steady progress to centralize module design, release, documentation, and moder…

PM lead for PowerShell here, thanks for the callout! I'll take "isn't the worst". ;) I'd love to get more of your thoughts around how PowerShell might be more useful for the kinds …

I'm a PM at Microsoft that worked on open-sourcing PowerShell. As Windows PowerShell, it's a built-in Windows component, and the number of assumptions that could be made because it…

Linux is actually half of our usage on PS Core[1], so it's a great question. A lot of folks use PowerShell inside of CI/CD pipelines, especially for cross-platform app development …

> If it becomes at all popular then you have further ongoing overhead. THIS is the one that comes into play. All that stuff you listed before is a slog to go through when you go to…

Full disclaimer: I'm the PM for PowerShell Core. I'm a huge privacy advocate, but telemetry doesn't have to be a dirty word. With PowerShell Core, we went through an RFC process to…

PM for PowerShell here, no ETAs right now, but we're working closely with some O365 teams (starting with Exchange Online) to bring their modules up to compatibility with PS 6.x.

As a product manager (technically "program manager" at Microsoft, but it's roughly the same as product managers across the industry), project management is one of the many things I…

As someone who definitely has imposter syndrome, the enlightening part of this post for me was that YOU are also the horse jockey. In this light, it's important for me to recognize…

Ooooh yeah, that sounds awesome! Going to share this with some people on our team (lots of folks love and use Hyper already, but we're always looking for new stuff to play with). I…

PM for PowerShell here! I haven't seen DomTerm before, but it looks pretty awesome. At a glance, it's basically a GUI-fied tmux hosted in Electron? It would be awesome to have in W…

Just to make sure everyone on HN knows you can get real pithy with PowerShell, this also works: PS C:\> cd hkcu: PS HKCU:\> ls -r | ? name -m 'HeidiSQL'

Oh yeah, it certainly wasn't perfect, but the good far outweighed the bad IMO. Also, I'm now realizing there are probably a lot of parallels in building those sorts of communities …

Only just getting started reading this, but I had to jump into comments to give a shout-out on how amazing 924 Gilman was for me as a kid growing up in the East Bay. I wasn't there…

You can download and install PowerShell Core 6 completely side-by-side with Windows PowerShell 3.0. We even have a portable ZIP you can drop down wherever: https://github.com/power…

Our filesystem provider could definitely use some performance work, and we're discussing redoing it at some point in the next minor version release or two. Personally, for quick in…

Again, not my backlog personally, but I'd wager that the VT100 work that they've been doing in the console host is going to do a lot more for the ecosystem (WSL/"Bash on Windows" i…

As part of the beta, we only support crypto algorithms that ship as part of OpenSSH itself, as opposed to algorithms that ship in OpenSSL/LibreSSL. Hence, we only support ed25519 i…
