@ellie @hds Oh, you're the author? Thank you for building Atuin! ❤️

I still haven't invested the time to configure it, but I would like to make the UI take only a few lines at the bottom, like fzf does. So I can still see the previous commands and their outputs. Is it doable?

@Tanuki These utilities are all small side projects for a single developer. Writing a modern shell is barely within reach, and fully replacing #GCC would require a huge investment, even if you start from #LLVM.

I heard that Google and Apple have pulled resources from #Clang a few years ago, and that's why #Cpp support seems to be falling behind GCC:

@Tanuki I loved bashtop (100% shell) -> bpytop (Python) -> btop (C++):

@Tanuki You make a fair point.

Perhaps it's because the most creative people are often those who are willing to explore new technology.

The price we pay for the author's choice is an lsd binary which is 3.2MB or just 900kB if you use exa, but with deps on libssl, libgit2 and http-parser.

The original GNU ls is 138kB with its only dynamic deps being libc and libcap.

Perhaps one day the Rust community will slow down and embrace shared libraries a bit more 🙂

Though the GNU project nowadays appears to be mostly fossilized around C and old UNIX-era standards.

Innovation in the terminal environment happens within the Rust and Go communities.

They build many nice tools, but they still lack the level of integration and coordination that got the GNU project at the core of every Linux and many non-Linux systems with glibc, bash, coreutils, gcc, binutils, make...

@Tanuki

Not to mention #GCC, a marvel of compiler design, with multiple language frontends, portable to dozens of host platforms and targeting hundreds of architecture variants 🤩

@Tanuki

@Tanuki On the contrary: they were greatly improved by the #GNU project in the 80s and 90s. The original UNIX tools only had a handful of single-letter options, no inline help, no color output...

@kolev The greens are pretty bitter though. At least, I remember they were barely edible. Perhaps depends on the breed?

@yoavlavi I just posted this a few minutes ago:

I was already using these: fd (better find), rg (better grep), lsd (better ls), bat (better cat with syntax highlighting etc).

#rust #linux #shell #cli

Lots of neat #Rust cli tools on this thread:

I discovered Atuin (shell history browser similar to fzf), bottom (a fancy clone of top) and delta (augmented diff tool for git and more).

[🧵 4/?] The cabinet is really cool- its futuristic styling actually kinda reminds me of the aesthetic of NeXT computers, such as the NeXTcube! Unfortunately, the game wasn't much of a success, so these cabinets were produced in limited numbers.

#RetroGaming #Arcade #Atari #3D #DinoRetroGaming

vtebench results for #Konsole (left), #Wezterm (center) and #Alacritty (right).

All three were running full-screen and configured to use the same font and approximately the same point size (11.0).

Wezterm was built from sources using "cargo build --release". The other two are distro binaries from #Fedora Rawhide.

Note that Wezterm (the slowest of the three) has a gradient background). It's also a git snapshot that recently switched its default rendering backend to #WebGPU.

@slyborg That was genius: it quietly and constantly reminds us that pollution deeply altered the planet.

#BladeRunner2049 tries to pull the same trick: orange haze in Las Vegas, the grayish desert surrounding the protein farm, the ash-like fallout, the storm at the sea wall of Sepulveda Blvd, followed moments later by a calm snowfall at Wallace Corporation HQ.

They overdid it just a bit, haven't they? 😂

#BladeRunner #CyberPunk #ClimateChange #scifi

The animated backgrounds are also pretty cool.

I wonder if they're created by Stable Diffusion and then post-processed to add rain and other looped animations?

Listening to another great #cyberpunk #ambient soundtrack by SpaceWave:

Ambient scores must be easy to compose and arrange: this author has hundreds of videos and keeps uploading new ones every few days.

@usluck Which anime are these? (looks more like manga than anime)

@benoit Interesting, I wonder why it got lost?

Can transient network errors between servers result in permanent loss of a tooth from a followed account?

@benoit Your thread probably lost the first message. You finished the season of *what*?
