It's that time of year again; Advent of Code code time! The advent calendar of small programming puzzles for variety of skill sets and skill levels that can be solved in any programming language you like.
Not sure why, but I had to reinstall my node modules for a project after updating #powershell and my #11ty project wouldnt load.
My serve command used 'eleventy -serve' and couldnt find eleventy anymore. After a fresh reinstall of packages things started working again. I guess I should move to the npx '@11ty/eleventy --serve' instead as it is only locally installed.
Why? It's an example of how a big company (in this case Microsoft) has trouble with the simplest of things.
Clearly running a #Powershell script without showing a console window should be possible, but instead, it's being waffled, year after year how to implement it in the PowerShell itself.
I still can't find a way to do that without Visual Basic scripts or another binary in Windows 11.
I like this wallchart thing for Linux commands...but it occurs to me that for #powershell, nearly all of the most-used commands would just come under letters g, s, t, and n

#Gentoo is the 1st distro do to from-source compile (according to my research on repology) of #PowerShell 7.4.0 BUT I hit a problem with test needing additional source-generated csharp files. We will have to revise how we do our pwsh distribution tarball.
BTW Is #NixOS pwsh package just downloading a prebuilt? I cannot read #Nix so some NixOS user/dev correct me please. :)
Anybody else notice that #PowerShell 7.4.0 doesn't auto-expand ~ for your home path when doing tab completion? That's breaking a lot of muscle memory for me right now.
Die Windows-Installation auf meinem Computer ist vermurkst. Kann ich die vorhandenen Treiber irgendwie retten? Können Sie ein System-Utility dafür empfehlen?
