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 now. You can set up a default install with one lin

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++. Can't remember which one taught pass by ref

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 some very good points. Thanks, friend. :)

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 run, no matter your scope. However when we introduc

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 from you). Our setup today is simply to add an apt repo[1

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. If you're seeing issues within PowerShell 7,

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 modernization, or at least to bring many teams closer togeth

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 of scenarios you're thinking a

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 was both closed-source and part of the OS were i

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 of .NET Core applications (having a single build&#

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 define our telemetry goals and implementatio

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 do, in addition to the list above. But I am

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 that you could easily see me as someone falsely clai

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 would highly recommend you check out the excellent His

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 Windows, but wouldn't that just require that D

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 with the Eternal September problem: getting too bi

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/powershell/powershell/releases

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 interactive stuff, I just `ls` when I'm sitting on a

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" included) than tabs. That being said

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 in Fall Creators Update. If you grab our GitHub bits, we

Haven't seen that error message before but I highly encourage you to use our GitHub builds where we've fixed a ton of issues related to path parsing and VT100/ANSI compatibility. Those builds will also be showing up in Inside

I don't sit within the console host team, but I do work very closely with them and their PM Rich Turner is very active on Twitter (@richturn_ms). They're tracking the (very popular) request for tabs at https://wpdev.use

Yup! We support down to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008R2. You just have to install the bits from GitHub (but they're actually more up-to-date because we can ship there a lot faster).

What kind of network drive support are you looking for specifically? If you mean, "interact with them from an interactive shell like cmd or PowerShell", yes, you can absolutely do that. Our implementation literally stands up a con

I don't have a good answer for you right now, but we're tracking it here and I'll be responding back here with some info when I have it: https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/926
