Down with this sort of thing

[Channel 4 @Channel4]

Film buffs will love Craggy Island cinema, which due to an odd loophole can show ‘specialist’ movies that you won’t see anywhere else.

@sql_williamd I remember that!

[FatherJack 〓〓 @fatherjack]

@IISResetMe Ok good to know. I'm just wondering if there is enough gain to go to effort to swap to .net. might have an experiment to see. Thx

[FatherJack 〓〓 @fatherjack]

@IISResetMe would you expect .net method to create md5 hash of files to be faster than get-filehash please?

I don’t think enough people have seen this. It’s Kurt Vonnegut talking to his wife about going out to get an envelope (we’re here on earth to fart around):

@sql_williamd It was all Boulogne in my day. We did visit La Rochelle several years ago in the Golf though. Had a lovely week. Hope you enjoy it

[FatherJack 〓〓 @fatherjack]

@IISResetMe Ok that's good to know thanks very much.

Who or what is a good resource for the way Get-Childitem and [https://t.co/efWmIzQd8l] work at scale (millions of files) please? #powershell

[FatherJack 〓〓 @fatherjack]

@IISResetMe I have been called in as the logic needed in the copy process can't be implemented with RoboCopy

[FatherJack 〓〓 @fatherjack]

@IISResetMe Ok. That's it for sure! No filters at the moment, we are taking everything..

Is the order of enumeration the same between executions?
Is there any sort of caching going on?

[FatherJack 〓〓 @fatherjack]

@IISResetMe So that's interesting as we see Get-Childitem path\millionsofdirctories |copy-item we are seeing a big lag before items start copying. Like it is parsing the whole dir of millions.

Scenario is very shallow and wide :
Dir\millionssubdir\files

@ryanyates1990 Appreciate difference in speed, am wanting to know the way things work internally to explain observed outcomes

I just did a thing - are you a WIT in/near Oslo and want to join me for lunch?
I think we need more arenas where we as WITs can meet. That is low-key. Where we actually get the time and place to talk. Inspire each other. Learn from each other. Mentor each other. (1/2)
