so windows users might finally be able to download a verifiable/signed and maybe "trusted" application to use ssh with? ( https://noncombatant.org/2014/03/03/downloading-software-saf... )

Cygwin has the terminal part of PuTTY built from source. Install Cygwin with MinTTY and you get ssh with bash (and a whole lot of Unix-like niceties) for free.

Come back to us when you've found a way to implement the good stuff that Windows has, such as IOCPs: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa3... And no, epoll isn't enough.

If I remember correctly, the node.js team needed a lot of help from experienced Windows developers (even from Microsoft itself??) to add IOCP support to libuv. I think kqueue is the best (well I guess I'm a BSD fan :D) but in general: app developers generally don't care about this, they just use libuv or libevent or something like that. Does Windows really have "good stuff" for developers? .NET is excellent, but the…

If all a developer knows is Windows, it seems awesome.

>two liner to scrape a web page, parse it and call a REST endpoint with the parsed data as JSON in PowerShell Can you post this 2 liner? Sounds interesting.

I can't post the one-liner as it's earning me a shit ton of cash every month but in concept it's the same as what I've posted here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9649090

How can two lines of code be earning you shit tons of cash? Can you show it if you swapped out specific details with generic placeholders (which page you're parsing, which endpoint you're hitting)?

> The only thing I still hate is windows update. all those "2 liners" don't mean much if you have to reboot your box every 2 days to apply more emergency 0-day security patches.

Yeah every 2 days I have to reboot all of our kit to apply updates... http://i.imgur.com/5ZxiLGf.png

So, no security patches?

Couldn't agree more. As a die hard Unix guy and ex Slashdot-esque zealot (colloquially a bit of a twat). Yet I'm knocking out PowerShell all the time now and dread having to log into the pile of CentOS kit I have lying around. It is arcane. Even after 15 years I spend most of my time in the manpages or working out another damn config format. Literally did a two liner to scrape a web page, parse it and call a REST end…

I'm not even a Powershell fan, I'm just not especially fond of Unix-likes, which feel like a local maximum that has turned into an unchangable standard. I think Unix-like environments feel dated, clunky and there's a tendancy for it to result in permanent bloat, stagnation and a web of interdependencies. I understand that lots of people are familiar with Unix-like tools and their many idiosyncrasies and like to be ab…

I would really like to see what would be the glorious future of the "dated", and "clunky" Unix-like environment.

I feel as if this comment is an exemplar of Microsoft itself.

It merely exploits some fundamental differences on how humans operate between two markets and turns that into real-time information for me on which I can make trade decisions.

This isn't stocks, shares, futures etc for ref either.

I don't want to say any more nor post any code as it's unique and a good earner at the moment.
