It shows how to create a graphical user interface with Windows.Forms (dotnet) in Powershell.
The update added the ability for the font to adapt to the user's font theme and size changes in Windows. It's silly, really: Windows.Forms should do that by itself. But it doesn't, so every programmer has to be aware and make it happen. #accessibility#ux
⌛ The End of an Era: Microsoft Phases Out VBScript for JavaScript and PowerShell | @thehackernews
"Both NTLM and VBScript are known to be abused by threat actors to conduct malicious activities, prompting Redmond to remove features in an attempt to minimize the attack surface"
The most difficult thing about this script was to get the form and the tab control to size to their contents. That doesn't happen automatically. At Powershell level, the control size appears to have a Height and Width property that can be set. That is not the case on my Powershell and Windows 10 Pro. I had to create a System.Drawing.Size object and assign that to the size property.
I guess my #PowerShell scripts for our #SQLServer migration might be something of a hit. We'll see how they fare with 50-ish failover clusters here in a bit, but the tests with 10 or so were smooth as silk twice earlier today. I know this doesn't sound complicated — it's just failovers amirite? — but there are stumbling blocks that have to be accounted for including network latency, SIOS mirroring, Windows pending reboots, AD, DNS...y'know all of the usual wrenches getting thrown in the gears.

I think in PowerShell and can manage in Python. I want to learn Rust to the degree I can write in it directly, rather than prototyping in PowerShell and then converting.
A lot of what I do is data manipulation and analysis. (Take several CSV files as input, and output new CSV files that answer business questions based on the inputs.) I'm seriously impressed with Rust's performance here.
If you've made this transition, advice on where to begin?
Figured out how to get the X day of the week in #powershell recently. I needed to know what the 1st,2nd,3rd, etc Friday of the month is, and proceed accordingly.
You can also easily find what the 2nd Tuesday of the month is as well! Options are endless.
I use PowerShell, BTW.
petition to make this the new high scosiety sentence, like the using arch btw one.
You just have to admit, PowerShell is way supririour (hu) to Bash and it's wrappers,
and people who have realized that and moved to using PS (on linux) are just better and smarter.
I'm gonna add a digital signiture to all my messages "I use PowerShell, BTE" regardless of context, destination, and if I really used powershell to send this message. #PowerShell#IusePowerShellBTW
