UNIX commands are more an accident of history than a cohesive, coherent, composable design. PowerShell was designed. It was designed by one person, in one go, and it is beautiful.

I'm curious about that design and would love to learn about it.

Note, that I'm not interested in learning how to actually use powershell as a developer, but understand the abstraction design choices, that went into it.

Every time I tried to learn about that, I'd find recommendations about Books with 1000+ pages and similarly time consuming resources.

Do you have an recommended read for understanding the design choices, that went into powershell, while not learning the details, that a everyday windows would need?

Things I care about: -How do Lamdas work? -Arrays are Objects. How exactly? -Typesystem -Are there native wrappers for the kernel APIs how do they fit into the objectmodel? -Since to my understanding no shortflags exist, how is verbosity avoided? -How thight are interfaces defined. If a tool provides a new interface in a new version, can old tools still work with it?

The choice of using the word professor, seems misleading to me. Far more often teachers will adjust their content to ensure optimal performance in tests. Especially in a education system like this.

I can only imagine what side effects this must have for motivation. When you are cautiously trying to appear focused, can you even develop a passion for a subject?

Can you summarize or refer me to a summary on how this platform compares to others?

I'm most interested to see how it tackles these points:

- Profitability - Digital Sustainability (Guaranteeing that the user can use it in the future) - Interop with other platforms - Privacy

Apparently it's open source, the repos can be found here:

Most of the reactions I saw here are rather negative. Did just no one of the other commenters dig deeper and simply react pessimistic to anything with the label "social network" or are there substantial issues, that I missed?

I'm wondering how Jodel (or Yik Yak in the US) fits in. The only meaningful way to interact with it is by writing comments yourself. Only to read the comments gets boring very quickly.

I observe that the quality of the comments is worse compared to platforms with more lurkers but it's interesting to see, that a platform with, presumably, a higher participation ratio is working as well

We don't need more proprietary machine learning devices in our homes. I'd appreciate this so much more, if it was open source, so I can reshape it to whatever use case I have.

There are plenty of viable business models, that give you your well earned money and us the option to customize and understand our devices.
