Tarantino loves Italy.

No, Microsoft recommends using Microsoft Windows. That's what Microsoft support told Microsoft researchers on a Microsoft article that I found using Microsoft Bing. So it must be correct!

I'd tolerate it, but not support it. Forcefully taking them away gains these platforms even more support and demand. Only when people seek for alternatives or a change on their own, we can solve the problems.

They swap cables and enjoy the music.

I use it as the default shell only in my terminal (with fish completion). You still have to deal with breaking changes and inconsistency. On top of that, you need to wrap a lot of your commonly used commands and tools to take full advantage of it. But personally I consider it worth learning and using. Not only do I hate working with raw text, I also love the visual and interactive data representation. And working with existing tools is honestly not a huge problem. It's just what you'd usually do regularly. Obviously POSIX-compliant shells in combination with many tools like jq, too are already capable of nushell's power. But I just like to have it included in the shell language, so I can work with the data more casual.

I couldn't tell you why you'd use it instead of Powershell. I just never tried Powershell on Linux.

Why should they? Less users are programming anything, but more people have become users of computers in the first place. And we have more users of computers, precisely because the levels of abstraction do not require the ordinary user to program anything. Today's ordinary user is more "ordinary" than fifty years ago. This development of making a tool or subject more accessible to the layman, by hiding the complexities with abstractions and yet allowing more skilled users to gain advantages by peeling away the abstractions, is present in many different fields throughout the history of mankind.

If you look closely, it is not really surprising. Not even a problem at all. In fact, if you have the simple understanding that maybe somebody doesn't want to program, not because they are a stupid idiot or a lazy normie consumer, but because they simply don't give a shit about it, follow other interests and can contribute to the world with other skills, then the observation that most users are not programming anything, is insanely unproblematic.

I'd immediately substitute it for an alternative left nipple that is definitely left (for the next five years at least).

I consumed fast food regularly when it was cheap. Maybe today someone consumes fast food regularly, because it can still be cheap, but only if you collect points, coupons and such.

On top of that, they're always around you and you know what they offer, if you get used to it. Sometimes I want a satisfying safe bet instead of an unknown experiment.

It's not an ideal situation, but somebody who you want to be kinder to themselves can motivate you to set an example.

If I understand this correctly, the polite request is meant to be passive aggressive flattery and the outright demand is the honest tone that gets to the point. I think in written form I prefer the polite request to avoid panicking immediately. In person, I'd panic anyway. So I prefer the outright demand, because I can't handle passive aggressive attacks at all. Usually I'll reflect their politeness before I understand the matter and then when they assume that I'm not taking it seriously, they get more intense which scares me long-term.

EDIT: No, actually, forget it. I'd prefer the outright demand even in written form. I get chills when I think about encounters with passive aggressive demands...

The USA is neither the best country nor the worst country. It's just one of the countries.

The reasoning behind a lot of "only humans do that" is that it's unexplored.

 

After a long time I'm in a situation where I sometimes work on a temporary system without my individual setup. Now whenever I might add a new custom (nushell) command that abstracts the usage of CLI tools, I think about the loss of muscle memory/knowledge for these tools and how much time I waste looking them up without my individual setup. No, that's not a huge amount of time, but just out of curiosity I'd like to know how I can minimize this problem as much as possible.

Do you have some tips and solutions to handle this dilemma? I try to shadow and wrap existing commands, whenever it's possible, but that's often not the case. Abbreviations in fish are optimal for this problem in some cases, but I don't think going back to fish as my main shell for this single reason would be worth it.

 

Sometimes I create a solution to a simple problem. However instead of making use of the solution, I keep extending it unnecessarily. This is why for this kind of project, I want to systematically restrain my future self from adding new features beyond the initial vision e.g. by actively refusing generic and re-usable code.

What is the search engine friendly term for this approach or at least for this situation? "Ad-hoc programming" may be literally what I'm talking about, but in practice it's associated with unplanned happenings.

 

Is there any kind of fiction where multiple stories are connected in a recursive loop? The connection could be a character who writes or narrates the story. e.g.

  • story A -> story B
  • story B -> story C
  • story C -> story A

Thanks in advance for any help!
