but then of course you run into the problem of something like typing uninstall and getting 20 uninstallers when what you really want is add/remove programs

yeah there are clearly meta terms associated with certain apps and settings

more that when you type uninstall you get add or remove programs and apps and features despite uninstall not being in the name of either. there must be some terms added to the index for those apps

powershell is the least bad shell but its still bad because it has posix syntax taint instead of just being csharp script

powershell suffers from posix syntax taint when it could have just been c# script

Sapozhnik posted:honestly, with the proper historical context, com and vb and vbscript were really not that bad. yeah com is really great but com automation sucks huge rear end. I liked tef's proposal for a standards based WebCOM

eschaton posted:no it really isn't incorrect. vbscript is a vb dialect that's run by the windows script host and uses win32/com which provides more and better system object access than applescript since apple doesn't have anything as good as com. you are thinking of vba which is primarily used in office, but still has support for win32/com so you're wrong there too. powershell is bastardized csharp and is totally unrelated to something like applescript or vbscript. it is a .net clr language that comes with a bunch of libraries written in csharp and powershell. that you can access win32/com is a result of the existing .net framework libs and not unique to powershell

or maybe you're thinking of com automation which is language agnostic and thus just as lovely in vbscript as it is in c#

uncurable mlady posted:powershell is bad because it quickly turns into an unmaintainable mess of untested scripts that are hard to parse, hard to debug, and hard to understand. it’s good for small scripts, but so’s bash. if you’re defining more than one function in a powershell script you should probably ask yourself why you’re not just writing something in c#. write a cmdlet wrapper for it if you simply must be able to run it from powershell interactively or through a ps1 file. yeah scripting languages and shells suck.

sometimes it excludes executable names from indexing, but I think that's mostly a security thing so exes in your downloads folder aren't executed by accident.

fonts used to be in the kernel and they finally got around to moving them out to user mode for security reasons. the font host should be running as its own user mode font user to keep it separate from everything. idk why its using cpu.

it was one of the major updates iirc but idk which one. its possible its not entirely migrated out of the kernel tho
