The Great British Sewing Bee (BBC). Even if you are not at all interested in sewing clothes. It’s so fucking wholesome and adorable that it’s a massive antidote to all the bad things out there. First season is still a bit rough, it gets better and better after that (there are 11 seasons in total now).
Check out carapace. It takes a bit of setup but basically tries to make all the completions work in almost any shell. For me that solved the big step backwards from fish’s completions that nu’s native completions have.
Yeah, it has. I think they started out as loving the concepts of PowerShell but hating the implementation, combined with the fact that PowerShell is clearly a Windows-first shell and doesn’t work so well on other OSes (it surprised me a lot to find out that PowerShell even has support for linux).
nu tries to implement these concepts in a way that’s more universal and can work equally well on Linux, macOS or Windows.
It’s arguably better as a scripting language than as an interactive shell. There are a lot of shell scripts out there that also dabble in light data processing, and it’s not the easiest thing to achieve well or without corner cases. So nu scripts are great if all you need is shell scripts with some data processing.
nu as an interactive shell is great for the use cases it shines at (like OP’s example), but a bit too non-POSIXy for a lot of people, especially since it’s not (yet) as well polished as something like fish is for example.
Edit to add that nu’s main drawback for scripting currently is that the language isn’t entirely stable yet, so you better be prepared to change your scripts as required to keep up with newer nu versions (they’re at 0.107 for a reason).
nu 's commands also work on JSON, so you don’t really need jq (or xq or yq) any more. It offers a unified set of commands that’ll work on almost any kind of structured data.
As an i3 owner it’s simply wild to me how BMW has squandered their massive lead in EV design. It’s still a better car than most new EV’s out there in many ways (it only weighs about 1.3 tons for example!). And every BMW EV since then has been a massive step back, although the newer generations coming next year might finally be a step in the right direction.
You’re probably correct, although I have no experience with zram so can’t be sure. But you’re absolutely right that PostgreSQL depends heavily on the OS disk cache for optimal performance. Lowering the PostgreSQL setting like Blaster M suggests won’t improve performance much, since all that setting does is tell PostgreSQL’s algorithms how much memory is likely to be allocated to the OS disk cache. Of course it’s best if it’s accurate, so you’re best off seeing how much memory is actually allocated to disk cache under heavy use before setting it, but it shouldn’t massively reduce performance if you don’t get it right.
