mindlessly chanting “tools”
That’s what you were doing in the first place. Instead of evaluating and trying new things, you are putting them in an imaginary cycle, ignoring any actual value that they brings.
Also Rust has been on your “stage 2” for 10 years. It’s now widely used in multiple mainstream operating systems for both components and drivers, driving part of the world’s internet stack, and is used to build many of those “shiny and new tools”.
Currently it’s a long chain from an early version of GCC to the latest one, then mrustc (in C++) which can compile rustc 1.54.0.
I assume that you do know that tools improve objectively in the cycle and are making a joke on purpose.
Difference is that YOU CAN BE THE ADMIN whenever you want while still being able to talk to others. Over.
Note that skim performs worse than fzf. There’s a new matcher in Rust called nucleo which is faster, but it currently doesn’t have a cli and can only be used inside Helix editor (hx)
nu is probably the best shell for ad-hoc data processing, handling all my daily needs in one expression.
fd and rg have another thing in common, that they’re both 50% shorter than their traditional alternatives /s
Compared to btrfs it’s claimed to be faster and having working RAID support. Its unique feature is using a fast device as cache to speed up access to slower, larger disks, I think.
Some have better ux, some support more platforms out of the box. I don’t find it a good idea trying to replace everything though.
I’ve tried Joplin, Logseq, and Obsidian. The best one was Obsidian but it’s not FOSS and is getting bloated over time.
I’m settling on zk now. This small command line utility solves almost all of the note managing needs for me.
Double links and tags make me forget about these “infinite free board” functionalities in OneNote: turns out they tend to be used inefficiently. Graphical sketches can be embedded in markdown or linked to a drawn picture.
The best thing about zk is that its notes consist of plain text and no extra tracking data is required outside of the file (unlike any others above), which means it’s absolutely free to pair it with / move on to other tools when needed, or working temporarily without the support of it.
I think most window managers have the functionality to avoid windows occupying the space for custom bars. maybe you can make use of this.
Definitely OT, but at this point you may want to checkout NixOS.
Datalog. Basically relational, but have much simpler syntax and semantics,and is able to convey more complicated queries in a composable manner. Mainly used in Clojure-based databases where actual programs instead of strings are used.

They don’t choose. Choice is something to make when people have enough time and resource. Instead they use what they are familiar with and have little time to grab and learn a new thing.
Free software comes with an implicit cost while pirated Windows doesn’t, ironically.
It does not work like that. is required in shell languages because they have quoteless strings and need to be super concise when calling commands. # and // are valid identifiers in many languages and all of them are well beyond the point of no return. My suggestion is to make use of your editor’s “turn this line into line comment” function and stop remembering them by yourself.
There already are conventional abbreviations: see Section 2.1. I doubt they will be better supported by tools though.
The point is 140kbps opus is almost identical to 320kbps mp3 for human so it saves over 50% size for the same quality. Also it’s a royalty free format.
Thanks for the info. I still wouldn’t consider these as long-term solutions bc they tend to be frequently blocked and/or are really slow.
No it can not. It is needed to connect to a VPN first in order to reach the tor network from China.
Also parquet if the data aren’t mutated much.
Did you just assume that those languages exists since the dawn of computing? Or they run the world as long as they came to existence and were never “the new thing”? You are just contradicting yourself at this point to defend yourself from anything you don’t want to accept.
