I remember showing a young guy at work how to use a Hollerith card punch. He could not understand how the holes were read as characters.

I always thought that PowerShell was a piece of armor I would get when I reached level 120. Well, I have been at level 120 for a while now, and I don't see no damn PowerShell.

Well, it is not everyday that one finds something that they can trust. Seem that Bacofoil has the strength that I can trust.
I am sure that it will make a nice hat as well.

PowerShell editing with Visual Studio Code[^]
I started using Visual Code for my Unity game development, and noticed that it also can be used as a terminal\editor for PowerShell scripts, etc. It appears that it has some nice features too, for this. Worth a look I think.

This is also available for Visual Studio,
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

yes, it is.
If he has VS community/pro, then great. if not Visual Code is much more light weight editor.

The one (huge) benefit of PowerShell over Bash (IMNSHO): You're working with actual objects, with properties and methods, rather than just parsing strings. Just about anything in .NET that's public can be invoked.
As for your longer rant (elsewhere in this thread): Are you aware of WSL? It's not merely a VM or a re-implementation of existing commands like Cygwin.

You can access your own .NET dll's as well. It's pretty damn snazzy.

Pretty much any .NET DLL.
A few years ago I started poking around one of my DLLs with PowerShell, just for the fun of it, and started scripting some things using some of my classes that were never meant to be scripted / for scripting.
Some "feature" I wrote with PS became something a customer wanted us to implement, but management saw little very value in us implementing it right in the program - so the customer got it as a PS script.

They'll be blocking/restricting access to it soon here.

Not that I have seen.

I haven't had any problem creating scripts on windows that do basically the same thing that I do with bash scripts for quite a few years.
Same problems with both for example running programs that do not in fact return a non-zero exit code when there is an error. Or sometimes programs exist on one but not the other.
But perhaps just because I am not looking to automate the world with bash/dos scripts but rather just automate a bit of repetitive typing and get on with what I am actually supposed to be doing.

A protocol droid! 
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

This isn't the droid you're looking for, you can go about your business. Move along, move along.

What, you think you're some kind of Jedi waving your hand around like that? And my stormtrooper helmet is at home, playing dust cover for my old computer's cassette tapes.

So this is how publishers unload archaic books that they have warehouses full of. Well, at least I guess it sort of helps charity.

They are ebooks maybe they filld up /dev/null?
I know very little on most of these books so I took the chance.
Besides, my first response to books at 50 cents each is "buy them all, sort them later (if ever)".
