Maybe use broot ? Its tree view is its main feature and it handles gitignore and shows many stats including dir sizes. https://dystroy.org/broot/ You can use it just like the original tree tool too: https://

What's too complex ? I'd like to get more information on what is less obvious than it was at the beginning and any hint on how to fix that. Broot's chat is always open for that.

I really like the approach of pipe-rename ( https://github.com/marcusbuffett/pipe-rename ) for renaming many files. It's especially convenient for people who can efficiently edit many lines in their favorite text ed

You can combine patterns on file names and/or file content with broot. Here's my usual workflow: https://dystroy.org/blog/broot-c-search/

May I suggest lfs ( https://dystroy.org/lfs/ ) as a replacement for df ?

Broot has many features that feel natural... when you know they exist (for example, try looking for what's taking space with `br -w` then stage the files and remove them at the end). I suggest everyone to have at least a short glance a

For taxi drivers, the most important change was already done and it took decades: it wasn't replacing them with self driving vehicles. It was replacing very competent drivers having a perfect knowledge of the town and of the optimal pa

It's often hard to follow though. It's probably easier for a new rustacian to read smaller repositories.

by dystroy 5y ago
Rather than giving always the same crate or author names, it's probably more interesting to learn to recognize repositories which have a higher probability of being "good rust code", so that you can search yourself (starting

Depends if it's your first language, probably. For an already experienced programmer, it's hard not to think about using multiple threads, even when just starting in the language. I know my few first Rust programs were using multi

You might be confusing mean goal and end goal. Nobody needs to write a linked list, except when interviewing. What you need (a feature, a performance improvement, etc.) is usually better served with other structures, especially in languages

This is indeed interesting. I usually start to explain "mut" as meaning "exclusive", and I hadn't seen the now obvious relation with "mutex". "mut is for mutex".

IMO those assertions are more useful in tests (which Rust make easy) than to protect your functions from inconsistent inputs.

What I meant in this article is that designing the ways to deal with graph-like structures should be done after the ownership model has been understood. If you start your first program directly on this kind of problem, you'll be only f

At some point, maybe not immediately, depending on what you're building, you'll have the borrow checker tell you that no, you can't borrow there, or that some construct that you feel safe isn't possible. And it will prob

But you log strings, not bytes, meaning that the escape sequences are escaped, unless there's a severe bug in the logger.

[broot author here] Have you ever tried to pipe `tree` into `less` in a real code directory, with directories containing thousands of files ? That solves no problem. The idea of broot isn't just to "be aware of the size of your t

The salt you release isn't instantly diluted in the whole ocean and we're speaking, for a plant, of millions cubic meters of salt enriched water per day. The release area is just dying.

by dystroy 5y ago
Salt release is already a huge environmental concern with exiting desalinization systems. Energy consumption and installation costs aren't the sole (and probably not the main) problems. Desalinization is inherently a pollution.

I don't think the likable story is key. Until recently, most of the many millions people buying the sauce didn't know anything about its origin. It was just the cheap sauce alone in its category that you could find everywhere.
