   I've been amazed at AI's usefulness for Linux sysadmin tasks. Last week I installed KDE on a new computer with two identical SSDs. One I wanted to wipe for the OS and the other I wanted to keep the data on. Unfortunately I couldn&

   I think you're already doing that? The only thing that's added is serializing the plan to a file and then deserializing it to make the changes.

   Yeah... https://www.sophiajt.com/case-for-nushell/ makes a really good case for Nushell as an alternative to Bash. Unfortunately, I don't think Nushell brings much benefit for folks who already know Bash enough to

   I love Debian's stability, but I rely on Homebrew (instead of apt) to get more recent releases of software. Overall it works swimmingly!

   For me it was the OneDrive ads on the lock screen. And, when I accidentally clicked "enable OneDrive" (a few years ago, this might have changed), IT TOOK OVER MY DOCUMENTS FOLDER AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NO WAY TO REVERT IT!

   I'll bite. Why is it like this (in your opinion of course)?

   I agree, but I tend to find that "git diff aware syntax" also makes things simpler for humans as well

   Do you have any favorite docs or blogs on these? Reading about one of the best designed permissions systems sounds like a fun way to spend an afternoon ;)

    Looks neat! I highly recommend showcasing the interactivity with a few GIFs in your README. You can script them with https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs

    One language vs 3 or 4? And some folks REALLY like Rust

    Super impressive, can you link to this post in that issue? I'd like to try iced, but switched to egui on the official Android support.

    I keep running into Gleam posts and podcasts and videos. I think it could be an especially attractive alternative to JS for UI with the Lustre library. Haven't tried it yet, my backlog is ever growing...

    I haven't gone this far, but I get the same joy out of little side project CLIs and libraries. In particular I've written a CLI framework and a few apps with it. The apps' requirements stretched the framework's capabilit

    I totally agree with the "try both", but if part of your motivation to learn one is to use it for a job, Rust is more mature than Zig (Zig is not yet 1.0, and still making exciting breaking changes to the languag), and Rust curren

    I'd love to to use PGLite in a non-JavaScript runtime. For example, embed PGLite into my Go CLI with a WASM runtime and use PGLite as a replacement for SQLite. https://github.com/electric-sql/pglite/issues&#x2

    https://typora.io/ allows pasting images into markdown. I use it for my Zola blog.

    I prefer this, especially for more complex types like functions- https://go.dev/blog/declaration-syntax gives an overview of their thought process

    Google Docs with "pageless" mode and the markdown shortcuts is pretty close to my ideal writing experience - especially if you're using the enterprise edition that unlocks code blocks (please bring that to the free version Go

    Fortunately, Linux laptops are getting better and better. I'm hopeful that by the time my M1 macBook Air gets slow enough to annoy me (maybe a year or two from now?), I'll be able to smoothly transition to Linux. I've already

    I feel like passing allocators is the most flexible design (if cumbersome to use). What needs does it conflict with?

    Rust has a culture of using lots of dependencies in general. I'm not super happy about this. I'd prefer a few larger dependencies, but most of the time I don't have the time/energy/talent to rebuild (or even vendor)

    Folks have responded about WezTerm's programmability being the reason they like it, but if you don't mind I'd like to flip the question around: why do you prefer Kitty or Ghostty to WezTerm?

    I had some issues with Wezterm fonts - I was able to configure it away: https://github.com/bbkane/dotfiles/tree/master/wezterm#fixed...

    I love WezTerm! The cross-platform config is easy to version control (unlike iTerm2) and I've added a couple integrations that I use constantly: The first is hashing the working directory / (or remote hostname if I'm SSH&#x27
