The problem with long startups is that they break the flow. I live in CLI. I open and close terminal windows all day long, sometimes just for quick 2-3 commands to check something. 100 new interactive shells a day is my guess. I already know commands to run, my fingers are ready to type, they already pressed the keys ti spawn a new shell and now they have to stop for 500 ms. Repeat these 100 interruptions every day and you get the death by 1000 spoons.

I don't use oh my zsh, but on one laptop zsh took 600ms to start. I narrowed it down to a strange "bug": adding even a single empty file to the custom fpath caused the slowdown. It bugged me so bad that I decided to try fish again, but this time for real. And this time it stuck with me. I like its architecture (defining functions to change its look-and-feel - great idea!) and of course its 32 ms startup time.


We're buying mice and we want 2 or 3 females. So yesterday I was searching "how to check mouse gender". Imagine my confusion when search engine recommended me a bunch of "how to sex mice" youtube videos!


FYI, ctrl-d isn't a shortcut to exit terminal. It sends EOF (end of file) character which, when reaches shell, closes stdinput file of shell. It generally closes any active interactive input, like all repls, interactive input to sed etc. When interactive shell loses possibility to get more input, it closes as soon as possible and then its parent, the terminal window, also closes. More-less :)


How do you use it so it's more ergonimic than typing arguments manually reversed? `unmv !$` ?


Podman 4.7 supports both the ordinary compose (Go implementation) and older Python podman-compose. But personally I moved to quadlets and didn't look back.


I love that you include hledger! It's amazing piece of software, even if a little obscure for people unfamiliar with plaintext accounting!


I love that application. I plan to make some improvements to the web UI. I’d love to have multiple tabs with saved reports. That would allow my spouse to use it quite easily. I’ll be adding that at some point.


Zoxide isn't a replacement for cd, but it is a wrapper for cd. It's the alternative for OG "z" (written in Bash I believe) and autojump (python) that were here for 20 years or so.

Basically, when tou type "cd some/subdir", these tools remember the frequency/recency of durectories you cd into, so at some point you can type "z sub" and they teleport you to "some/subdir" no matter what's your current working dir.

I love it and use it daily. Zoxide just has some nicer features than the alternatives (and maybe it's faster).


WSJ probably updated the article. Here's the newer link: https://archive.is/20250501040217/https://www.wsj.com/tech/a...


Makes sense. The original link says “updates to follow as news develop” at the bottom. And I guess they really meant that – that they were planning on expanding on it already when they first published the initial, short version of it.


The court decision is worth the read, you can skip all articles.


They can be configured globally with core.hooksPath or init.templatedir git config options.


Can you tell what's the usecase for creating FUSE for dokuwiki? Basically, dokuwiki is just a bunch of text files so wouldn't it be simpler and more efficient to e.g. mount them as NFS or share via Dropbox/Syncthing?


I was forced to use the dokuwiki, but I very much disliked editing stuff in the web interface. Having a filesystem interface to the wiki system allowed me to create and edit pages using vim , which I like to use for writing.
