  • ios-safari-remote-debug-kit

    Remotely debugging iOS Safari on Windows and Linux

    • That’s a gnarly repository if all you want [0] is part of it. Subversion offers a way to download just a subdirectory; is there a similar solution with Git?

  • VFSForGit

    Virtual File System for Git: Enable Git at Enterprise Scale

    • I was just looking at Microsoft's git VFS (https://github.com/microsoft/VFSForGit), which is deprecated and now points to Scalar (https://github.com/microsoft/scalar), which is also deprecated? What's Microsoft's story with git now? Is there still a virtual file system involved?

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • scalar

    Scalar: A set of tools and extensions for Git to allow very large monorepos to run on Git without a virtualization layer (by microsoft)

    • I was just looking at Microsoft's git VFS (https://github.com/microsoft/VFSForGit), which is deprecated and now points to Scalar (https://github.com/microsoft/scalar), which is also deprecated? What's Microsoft's story with git now? Is there still a virtual file system involved?

  • PowerShell

    PowerShell for every system!

    • demonstrating that PS one-liners can be just as readable as those of Unix tools!

    As you've identified, the pain in pipelines with native commands is real. No subshells or named pipes, naturally. All command output is parsed and re-serialized—anything binary, or with linefeeds, or UTF-8 without BOM is, as expected, silently corrupted. At least that's being worked on (https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/1908) -- there's an immense amount of WTF that the hindsight shell manages to have locked in, turned into wontfixes by Microsoft's commitment backwards compatibility. Tour the footgun arsenal: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/6745
