At least solver seems faster (if not better) in later versions? p.s. My try at 'flag in the wind' in Blender from around 2022: https://0x0.st/s/aJ6DNj2pEHzRdBiscEIsbQ/KCsK.mp4 I do remember it took me all day to get somehow realistic motion.


I've been using autojump, called with 'j'. Any pros of zoxide over that? https://packages.debian.org/sid/autojump


Initial creator of autojump here: just use zoxide. I passed autojump mainternship to someone else a few years ago but it has now been abandoned. Rust is superior to python for this application anyway.


Switched as well, with "alias j='z'" seems to be 1:1 replacement so far. Also did 'zoxide import --from=autojump ".local/share/autojump/autojump.txt" --merge'.


Oh wow. I feel like you should be royalty around here!

I've been a happy user of autojimp for many years, and just made the switch to Zoxide last week because it's maintained. I feel vindicated now :)


Switched. For anyone else thinking of doing the same, zoxide can import your data from autojump: https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide#installation

Here's the command I ran on macOS:

    zoxide import --from=autojump ~/Library/autojump/autojump.txt


Hey, thanks for creating it! I still use it and as a light user it fits my purpose just fine


I don't use autojump, but glancing over its readme it's missing nushell integration that zoxide provides.

It being a native binary instead of Python-based might also help it execute more instantaneously. Most Python-based CLI helpers that I tried add a slight but noticeable delay to simple commands, whereas zoxide is so quick it's easy to forget you even invoked a helper in the first place.


I was using autojump for years (on debian) until I lost my jump history several times in the past few months. Turns out it's a known race condition bug fixed in a newer version:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1110899

Migrated to zoxide instead, seems to work fine! Only need to get used to using z instead of j, muscle memory hard to adjust, might set an alias :)


Is there an explanation why? (Average line count in my scripts is 115).


Cryptic, overly complicated syntax. for loops, if statements, etc.. are all done better in other languages.

No package manager, build, or dependency features. This means it is ugly and gross to import functions from other programming languages.

Zero data structure support, so any data manipulation is horrible.

No test support, so you can't mock and test business logic.

No debugger support.

It's just a bad, cryptic, confusing language that is hard to maintain.

Remember: it's not that you CAN'T do these things, it's that they work better in other languages, like Node or Python. And shelling out in Python or node works great and is very easy. And Python comes built into most systems these days.

It is hard to justify writing shell scrips anymore. It's like writing perl or cobol. We have better tools now, the world has moved on.


Is there a version of this that would support my custom presets for AVC/HEVC mp4 encoding with video filters like deinterlace/resize and similar (and/or audio filters like ebu R128)? (p.s. Also my usual input type is cinefrom/mov, which this one is not happy with for some reason)


Interesting, is that a more complete variation of fuse.js? (Just pluged-in fuse.js into my static jekyll blog)


Pagefind uses an index that is created ahead of time and stored as numerous files on a static site. It then downloads just the part of the index needed to complete the search. This means that you can search vastly more data than could be loaded onto a browser.


I think Pagefind is focused on the whole experience of searching pages, like with default UI widgets, easy page indexing, and handling larger sites. fuse.js seems to be a fuzzy-filter function on JS data, not handling the site integration.


Groving up: Papillon (Henri Charrière - 1969) & Samurai! (Saburo Sakai -1957) Lately: Project Hail Mary (Andy Weir - 2021) Obviously: Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution - 25th anniversary edition (Steven Levy - 1984/2010) also: I've read all the books from David Thorne, last one: Let’s Eat Grandma’s Pills (David Thorne - 2022)


"Papillon" is a great read. But it's veracity is highly suspect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papillon_(book)


Some do, mostly when the problem they are trying to solve is somewhere in my blog past. I've learned over the years not to advertise the blog/page, due to weird questions I get, for example: Q: How costly is this? (A: it's free, minus my time), Q: Why is it so ugly? (A: When you write your perfect jekyll skin, I will use it, you know it's about my future self searching for the info, not about beauty), Q: Why? (A: I always find something interesting to read in my blog, unlike your corporate page). p.s. The long-tail effect has been predicted at least 20 years ago, so I understand that views will be low or none: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_tail

I find the "Why?" question amusing. It's usually coupled with a disapproving tone.


Two domain focused examples: Blender material node: I could imagine certain material nodes to be highly annoying to script (or even represented differently than nodes), even something relatively simple like this https://i.imgur.com/kETcJYE.png (nodes), https://i.imgur.com/eddAhcv.png (final render) Fusion comp node: On the other hand, this seems like a lot of blocks for this simple image: https://i.imgur.com/ftfHngt.png (Cool thing about Fusion is that any node can be copy/pasted to notepad as text and vise-versa) Note: I'am neither Blender nor Fusion expert.


Absolutely, there is no happy accidents in VFX.


There is a typo in font style section: Blod italic (should be Bold).


I appreciate your keen eye for detail. Will correct it later.
