Impressive. I've never looked at this before. It seems like much more than a toy.
A question. Various Linux variants are available for it. Visual Studio supports Linux development, though that's the extent of my knowledge. So is it unreasonable to expect that I could develop code targeted for Linux using Visual Studio and then test it on a Raspberry Pi running a Linux-based O/S? I'm loath to play around with installing Linux on my Windows Laptop and would rather take the route just outlined.

As long as your app is compiled with.Net Core 3.1 or newer, and doesn't have a UI, then yes.

I don't use this .NET stuff but write pure C++. However, I need to write an adaptation layer for Linux instead of Windows.
Debugging might be a problem. It's good in Visual Studio, at least for Windows, but I have no idea how well it work would on a Raspberry Pi with Linux.

Can't use a virtual machine with real linux OS and use visual studio code or gcc?

I've never set up a virtual machine. Is it difficult? Can you point me to a link? Thanks.

Nope. It can sometimes be a bit tricky, if the setup is very difficult, but standard things are actually pretty easy
Greg Utas wrote: Can you point me to a link?
Look for the free version for private use of VMWare-Player (I use the v12.5.9 to "virtualize" Windows XP and 7) or VirtualBox (used to restore a backup of a Linux Server, I haven't used to setup a linux desktop yet).
I have been procrastinating the Linux-Tests to setup something for the family. This could be a nice chance to get started and at the same time help you out.
If you are interested contact me using the "email" widget of the forum message, instead of using "reply".

Gee, thanks for the generous offer. I'll bookmark your post and look into it some more, and get back to you during the next week.

You are welcome.

If you do, use the "email" (I have activated it) instead of "reply". I will get your CP-Email address within the message and I would answer directly over there without going through the message boards.
Or we could go to the collaboration forum (it is pretty quiet over there) if you prefer to keep your email private.

No problem, I've used the email option before, though using the collaboration forum might also be useful for others.

Rich Turner, a senior program manager at Microsoft, has taken to Twitter to practically beg people to move away from Cmd to PowerShell. Because it works? (And you can choose which product is "it" in that sentence.)
I think it works either way.
I get where he's coming from, as PowerShell is much more capable, but my fingers still type 'dir /r /s /p', not 'get-childitem -recurse | more'.
Yes, Mr. PowerShell Master, I could use 'gci' there. Not really much better for my fingers, IMO.

And the cost of keeping it that way is insignificant. So leave it, you dummys!
But some idiot (probably the one who pushed the ribbon) will decide to ditch it just for the sake of change some day soon.
Please don't. I'll gladly let you belittle me for being wrong!!!

A lot of people[1] suggest that Microsoft would never do something as stupid as removing CMD because, as Rich Tuner says, it's needed for legacy scripts and other stuff that are never, ever going to go away.
However... recently my impression is that Microsoft is losing its way a little but in terms of backward compatibility and its importance in the corporate marketplace. My impression is that there are people in charge there now who live and think in the legacy-free (supposedly) web mindspace and who don' know and can't understand that there's a whole corporate world out there that is vastly slower moving, where decades long compatibility matters way more than the latest cool thing. Their treatment of VB, where they can't even stick to their own strategy, is one symptom of this.
It would not surprise me (but it would sadden me) if CMD turns out to another symptom of this sooner rather than later.

And then there are the organizations which forbid the use of PowerShell because it's too "dangerous".

Every couple of weeks, the USAF tries to remove PowerShell from Windows on our boxes. We have to repeatedly remind them that we have to have access to it, and they turn it ion again, for a couple of weeks. It's a pain.

Yep. I tried explaining to DISA that PowerShell is needed to administer Windows servers, to no avail.

An investigation of Twitter messages reveals new insights and tools for studying how people use stretched words, such as "duuuuude," "heyyyyy," or "noooooooo." Whaaaaa?

President Trump has taken the extraordinary step of threatening to close down social media platforms. We should be so lucky
Yes, sorry. Probably too political. Apologies in advance.
However, it's technical news, so Bob decided we should include it. Less as a comment on his behaviour than on my general feelings about Facebook and Twitter (and sure, MySpace, Friendster, Tik Tok, and whatever else the cool kids are using this week.)

OK, we are getting very close to "politics" now, but I am very close to saying: Let him!
Of course it wound't work. It wound't gag his opponents.
But it would reveal a lot of his respect for democracy, freedom and human rights.
