Canonical had at some point two variants of Unity, the regulate one (slow) and a qml based one (super snappy). I'm still sad that they did not stick with the qml version. GNOME nowerdays is fine, but for years it was slow and lacking c

Or just use a shell that understands JSON and can just pipe the output to JSON. In Nushell you can query the free space and then add `| to json` and you are done.

It's funny how all these writings miss to explain how to figure out what a function/symbol does. When I want to know what print does in Python, I can type: help(print) and get some useful information. In Lisp there is a function t

As someone writing Lisp code, this feels so archaic. Then I remind myself that Lisp is older and than those games and that the future just hasn't caught up yet.

Most of it is nice, but declaring global variables with 'set -gx FOO 123" sucks. Same for "abbr --add g git", why can't it be just "abbr g git" or "set-global FOO 123"?

That's not what I was talking about. Before async we had one ecosystem. Now we have at last three: non-async, Tokio, async-std My point is, the ecosystem experience has degraded since the async MVP is stabel.

It's funny to see these web things, that are in the end a "bad" reinvention of what a Lisp programmer would do with macros, but without anything special. Instead of having macros, they just reinvent the wheel again and again.

If you want to be innovative, have a look at the browser history function. There was zero progress, but I don't see a reason why the history should not allow me to browse all currently cached images.
