ConvertFrom-Json converts json text into a PowerShell object with properties derived from the json.
Select-Object (in this instance) selects a property from the object.
An unrelated change in ConvertFrom-Json wouldn't change it's basic nature which is to convert json into something you can manipulate with other PowerShell cmdlets.
I think you missed the point. What about all the dependencies of your code that are only compiled for x86_64? The article isn't talking about native apps on the laptop, it's about apps that run on a server but that you are developing locally.
You can't run your x86 docker image on your ARM mac without emulation. You can't run your x86 Windows VM without emulation etc.
Of course there are solutions like using a remote server or a VM in the cloud, but if you're buying a decent machine then you would normally expect to be able to run these things locally.
It all comes down to trust. If you trust that the code you're downloading is good then by all means curl | sh.
A lot of things can go wrong with this though, if you pull a script from a github link and run it, the code could have been modified since you last looked at the repo and now you're directly running malicious code.
When you download an msi in Windows and then double click to install, you're also putting your trust in the website, the software author and anyone else in the supply chain.
I think the better option is downloading, manually reviewing the script you downloaded, and then running it.
If you're devops-ing something then you should probably download the script/code and then do some kind of hash or signature check to make sure it's the known good version, then run it.
Unfortunately FB will then change the API to block the gateway.
It's not in their interest to allow open access to their messaging service. The current status quo means you have to be in their app or on the website to access your contacts and view their ads!
I've been using an e-cig for about 3 months now and I've wanted a real cigarette maybe 3 times. The sheer volume of flavours and things to try is keeping me off the cigs. I've dropped my nicotine level down from medium to medium-low and I'm looking to drop again soon.
It's the closest thing to smoking without actually smoking and it's the only thing that's worked for me. I've tried cold turkey, patches and gum. None worked for more than a few weeks of constantly thinking about smoking.
