Not 5 levels, but I once wrote debug visualizers for a compiler using funceval (the visualizer uses the debugger to run code in the target process). I think I once had to debug the…

Microsoft Research has been working on DNA storage: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/dna-storage...

Saqib Shaikh, a blind developer at Microsoft, gave this short talk on using Visual Studio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94swlF55tVc I realize this isn't a console, but I think i…

PowerShell can be shorter by 1 character for this use case: irm wttr.in irm is an alias for Invoke-RestMethod which is similar to Invoke-WebRequest but better for non-html response…

If you to use this on Windows, you'll need to update `less.exe` with my patched version - https://github.com/lzybkr/less/releases/tag/fix_windows_vt

It does not, but it seems like a popular request: https://github.com/dandavison/delta/issues/40

I guess it's time to reread Starship and the Canoe - a great book about Freeman's nuclear weapon powered spaceship and his son George's interest in building boats. I thoroughly enj…

AFL might eventually get lucky, but I'm guessing you'd want a hybrid approach that combines symbolic execution with a fuzzer like AFL, e.g. QSYM [1]. [1] https://www.usenix.org/sys…

Visual C++ has the __debugbreak() intrinsic function. If you have JIT debug enabled, you will be prompted to attach your debugger to the process when hitting such a breakpoint.

With PSReadLine, you can change that: Set-PSReadLineOption -EditMode Emacs Or Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key Tab -Function Complete

I'm optimistic about binaries providing completions, I think we'll see more of that as tools adopt frameworks like https://github.com/clap-rs/clap or https://pypi.org/project/argco…

Here is a quick PowerShell script - it supports the pipeline so you can automate, e.g. if you use a command line password manager. https://gist.github.com/lzybkr/85b4dbd6536ea5351e…

I have no specific insight to this patch, but I do have personal experience binary patching a popular Microsoft product. My patch was to the VC++ compiler nearly 20 years ago. We h…

I wrote PSReadline (readline for PowerShell) and never bothered implementing overwrite mode. It took about 3 years before anyone complained, and I think there is still just the one…

It's used in production for Microsoft Security Risk Detection - here is a good blog post describing how F# is used: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2016/12/13/project-s...

At least a few people want vi-mode in the shell, see https://github.com/lzybkr/PSReadLine/pull/101

To be clear - the ISE (powershell_ise.exe) doesn't support interactive console apps. powershell.exe supports them just fine.

It hasn't been announced anywhere unless you count random tweets. I should post something on the PowerShell team blog one of these days.

Try https://github.com/lzybkr/PSReadLine - included in Windows 10 now.

I take it back, the VC++ options are C++ only (faulty memory, it's been too long.) There is a warning I added which does work in C ( https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t7khky…

I implemented the VC++ options - they work in C. I have no experience with the others, I've just briefly read about them and assume they are similar. If they don't work in C and yo…

Most commonly used compilers have options to help find padding that is possibly not needed. VC++ has a couple of undocumented (but well known and discussed) options /d1reportAllCla…
