Don't Perl and PHP both predate Java? By quite a bit in Perl's case.

Seriously? What possible reason could there be for limiting this to Californians?

Yes! Don't ever change, Windows Terminal.

Not sure that's a fair comparison though. `du` isn't built in to bash, afaik; you could just as easily type `du -sh <folder>` in PowerShell. If you /did/ need to do it without `du` then it would be something like:

Yeah, it’s just objectively better imo and it addresses GPs wish for a 64bit process.

Not sure it's double the effort. Once you've written the textual version, you pretty much only need to copy and paste it into a terminal to produce the asciicast version. That's how I did the animations for this Powershell to

I love this tool. For people who want to render asciicast to SVG, I can highly recommend svg-term-cli[1]. [1] https://github.com/marionebl/svg-term-cli/

It does look cool. Is anyone out there using it in production?

I honestly don't think the general public cares enough for reputational effects to be particularly important. Can you think of an incident, however heinous, that materially impacted a company's bottom line?

I think they meant to say, ‘organise’.

Not out of the box but I wrote a module[0] that gives you `cd+ 11` (and `dirs -v`). [0] https://github.com/nickcox/cd-extras#navigate-even-faster

I'm quite interested in this library. Have you used it? What did you like and not like about it?

The pollies seem to think so. I don't know anyone who admitted voting for Abbott in 2013 either but a lot of people obviously did.

It is an absolute national shame. MSF recently likened the mental health of the people on Nauru to victims of torture.[1] The most disturbing aspect is the strong bipartisan and public support for the ongoing abuse. Every Australian should

Hard to see them ever supporting PowerShell 5.0 given that it doesn't run on Linux.

The article doesn't seem to touch on the motivation for the attack. (Perhaps it's taken to be obvious.) Why would the British government want to do this?
