   What’s the point then? Cygwin works better than this.

   We have GitHub repositories with 10’s of thousands of files in so yes.

   It’s even worse thatn that as the behaviour is defined by a weird combination of the OS, the .net framework, powershell version and local policy settings.

   Properly as in it does the intended job. Consistently as in it stays doing the intended job in as an idempotent manor as possible. Whether or not it’s ugly or elegant don’t matter if it doesn’t work or stay working. You can argue semantics

   Working properly == better in my mind. Consistency, trust over everything.

   Powershell core has telemetry. I won't entertain that risk. This is covered in my original point.

   I just bought a 2018 MacBook Air. The keyboard is different and could do with a little more travel but I don't have a problem with it really. It's better than the wobbly piece of crap on my 2013 MBP.

   Because half the time it slings Exception calling "ExtractToDirectory" with "2" argument(s): "End of Central Directory record could not be found." 7zip works fine! (copied straight from my MASSIVE OneNote book

    No googling because it hasn't changed in the last 20 years. How do you unzip a 20 gig file in powershell? 1. You can use the windows shell via complicated series of calls. This runs like ass as the windows built in decompression is ter

    I tend to SSH into an AWS box most of the time or use a Linux installation inside a vagrant VM when I have to use something Linux. Both of these are much smoother than on WSL/Windows. However most of the built in packages and stuff tha

    I'll give you the desktop environments aren't very good. Gnome 2 was about the peak and it went a bit weird after that as they appeared to have an internal battle between making it look like MacOS and inventing something new while

    No because you don't have to google for an hour to find the "don't punch me in the dick" flag.

    AD only works if all your clients are windows. In 2018, not all of them are. We're out of a monoculture now. Doing AD SSO on other platforms is a proper pain in the butt. For example when Microsoft deprecated some of the old protocols

    The last point is the point really. The entire objectivity of it is ruined by weird edge cases and knowledge. The car only goes straight if both rear windows are open. You have to say "beetlejuice" three times before putting it in

    WRT NTFS I don't think they can fix it without releasing another major version of it and that comes with some insane level of risk based on the early churn in NTFS. I don't have an appetite for that. They tried to fork it with ReF

    I've used FreeBSD since 2.0.5. It's what led me to MacOS X :)

    Indeed. I don't wish to be rude to the original poster but I've managed large networks of Windows and Linux/OpenBSD/FreeBSD/Solaris machines for over 20 years. Windows is a joke and it hasn't got any better. I

    I genuinely don't get this. WSL's backing filesystem (NTFS) completely runs like ass. It's dire. 10x the latency on everything at least compared to Linux running natively on the same hardware. This is because all small writes

    This is sounding like the future that many science fiction authors warned us about. And that's not good at all.

    There was worse on 7/7/2005 in London due to the bombings. Nearly all the providers fell flat due to overload including land lines and mobile phones. Also public transport was hosed. I walked 11 miles home in the end. FM radio was

    That was pretty good as it didn't have a floating point coprocessor at launch and was entirely software implemented. You could buy a card with an AT&T WE32206 copro for it which made it pretty damn fast. I think they had dedicated

    I completely agree. I remember, despite being a BBC user mostly, Back in '87 I got told off by my parents for swearing in disbelief at this thing that turned up at the Beebug shop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrj-EE
