• Jc – JSONifies the output of many CLI tools

  Didn't know about this, the HN dividend pays out again! When wrestling with sed/awk in trying to parse results of a shell command, I've often thought that a shell-standard, structured outpout would be very handy. Powershell[0] has this, but it's a binary format - so not human-readable. I want something in the middle: human- and machine-readable. Without either having to do parsing gymnastics. Jc isn't quite... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• I think the real reason why people think using the terminal is required on Linux is a direct result of the Linux terminal being so much better than the Windows terminal

  The current version of the Windows terminal is not bad. And Powershell does have some advantages. The object-orientation, for example, I definitely see as an advantage. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Read the documentation first

  I went to the PowerShell documentation, searched for "encoding" and ended up at the character encoding page. I discovered something called the byte-order-mark, also known as the BOM, which is a signature that takes a few bytes at the start of the file. Its purpose is to let a reader know of a few essential things: the UTF format in use (UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32) and the endianness, in the case of the latter two. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• Making my Makefile find things for me

  I then check to see if the OS I'm sporting is Windows, and if so, I proceed to run some Powershell commands to automatically locate the includes and libs. Using the addprefix and addsuffix Makefile functions, I construct the -I and -L parameters that the gcc compiler will require later on. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago
