• Software used in the field

  The rest is mostly personal utilities. I have little .net programs that let me connect to OPC servers and browse tags, write values, or dump data to files. I keep a set of the Unix Utils for windows from here because mashing things like grep/cat/tail together with notepad++ or other cmd apps is just so helpful. I'd say 50% of my "on-site" utilities is just the list of little commandlets that I've built up over... Source: 10 months ago

• How do I subset to column values that are included in a vector?

  Note: if you're on Windows, you will need to get native Win32 ports of GNU utilities and add them to your environment variables so that R can use commands like grep. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is it possible to get VBA to save a page through Chrome?

  Http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ has a set of the most used unix tools as standalone files, including wget. Source: almost 2 years ago

  And find and rm for Windows http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Understanding Awk

  The problem is that awk is in POSIX, and perl is not. There are two common sources of awk for Windows, for example, that drop one exe to provide the interpreter: http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ https://frippery.org/busybox/ Perl simply wasn't designed to do that. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Groovy 🎷 Cheat Sheet - 01 Say "Hello" from Groovy

  Alternatively, you can use sdkman. A great tool to install your Software Development Kit. The downside is that it only works on *nix systems. So for Widnows users, you will have to use WSL or Cygwin as the official page suggests. It is really simple to use sdkman. After a successful installation, just type those commands into your *nix shell:. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• How do you even get started programming in c++ on Windows?

  You could try Cygwin. I never leave home without it. Source: about 1 year ago

• What exactly IS gitbash?

  It's launching MSYS2, which is in turn based on cygwin, which is a collection of common Linux utilities built for windows and an incomplete POSIX abstraction layer. Source: over 1 year ago

• Kind of an obvious design flaw

  IME, not really? Git for Windows or MSYS2 are both pretty solid. I used Cygwin for years, but MSYS2 seems to integrate a bit more smoothly (plus MSYS uses pacman instead of Cygwin's fiddly gui for package management). Source: over 1 year ago

• WSL - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS using a ton of memory?

  Try Cygwin or Msys2, they are not running virtual machines. For Bash and Neovim only you probably don't want to run a whole virtual machine. Source: over 1 year ago
