Microsoft has officially made Coreutils for Windows: https://itsfoss.com/news/windows-coreutils/ — the repo: https://github.com/microsoft/coreutils
Slop coded and jam packed with delicious CVE surprises?
enterprise-scale bug-for-bug compatibility across K licenses, and N versions is the surest way to perpetually locked-in annually recurring revenue... cough Excel's data, er, helpful auto-converions cough
Haha! Microslop or not, the takeaway here is that data-interface (which CLI relatively is) is more important than GUI interface for OSes in the Agentic AI era. Microsoft is doing this to make Windows a decent OpenClaw citizen.
Pipeline all the things winning
This will at least reduce my frustration when I'm using cmd or ps (which is rare) and I type the Linux command via muscle memory and then curse when it doesn't know it, and have to wrack my brain to remember the Windows command instead! 🙂
Bit late to the discussion, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. You probably have a tourist visa, you have a return flight scheduled, you have a hotel reservation, you came in legally via a recognized port of entry. All those things which make you a very low risk individual from an immigration enforcement perspective.
Irish citizens have been advised to scrub social media accounts from their phones before travelling to the US for quite some time now -- which is a pretty horrifying indictment of a supposedly friendly world power. I've good friends and family over there, but it would take a powerful incentive to get me to visit under the current regime.
this is a bit of FUD because it wasn't official advice from Irish authorities.
millions of tourists enter the US and don't get their electronics searched at all 🤷♂️
It's true that the government websites stick to bare statements of policy (right of US border control to demand access to phones and social media accounts, and to deny entry / deport on the basis of what they find), but combine that with a population that skews comparatively left, the characterisation of opposition to current Israeli policy in Gaza as 'anti-semitic', and stated US policy of denying entry on the basis of 'anti-semitic' statements on social media it adds up to a bit more than FUD, and this has been reflected in Irish news media coverage. But I'm veering further OT than is appropriate for this slack 🙂 Suffice it to say I won't be attending Conj
Plenty of logic here that was probably doled out for the 1936 olympics
So i'm toying here with building an implementation of clojure in zig. There is so much ground to cover that i realistically have no way to have enough time to build it in the artisan way, so i need to reach out to LLM-s for writing at least some of the code. And it's so heartwarming to see at times that LLM also needs to figure out which parentheses are still open and start counting them back one by one to figure out why the counts don't match 😂
> LLM also needs to figure out which parentheses are still open Hold on, why "also"? I haven't had to pay attention to parentheses for probably a decade now.
when you do manual refactoring on something that has )))])))) in the end of it, sometimes funky stuff takes place ... although, for homo sapiens rainbow parentheses and things make this a lot easier
Paredit all the way. :) Editing at the form level (well, and whitespace) completely obviates any need for paying attention to the parens. I still use rainbow parens, but only because it's easier for me to follow the code that way, not because of editing.
