I’ve been using nushell for a year and while it is great mostly, and means you don’t need to use external tools like jq, the verbosity is tedious at times. I have a lot of aliases set, and I often use the caret escape hatch to run the traditional command if I just want a quick answer.

Niri does have named workspaces so you can absolutely switch to fixed workspaces like you describe.

I have fixed workspaces but then temporarily add extra workspaces for side tasks - these are relative to the named ones but don’t stop you jumping to your named workspaces (assuming you’ve got your shortcut keys set up to match).

the Gulf Coast is strange, has diurnal tides (twice a day)

Diurnal tides are once a day (semidiurnal is twice a day). By the Gulf Coast, I guess you must mean the Gulf of Mexico. I’m living on the other side of the world in the other diurnal region, so I assume our tides are synchronised!

I think that the little extra work to have separate services is a small price to pay to have the kind of top notch user experience that you can only get with a dedicated tool.

Besides, it’s cool to have a load of different services. Most self-hosters seem to be constantly on the lookout for the next thing to install.

A great read, thanks. I think you have posted this as a full post to this sub (perhaps repost it on a quiet day).

I think we’ll see a bump in users centred around October, since that is when MS had announced support for Windows 10 ended. They have recently announced that you can (maybe) get into the Extended Security Updates program for a year for free, but that’s perhaps too little too late.

My hardware’s new enough that my WiFi card doesn’t work on Windows 10 (and won’t, only Win11), but it works on recent-ish Linux kernels. Not contradicting you, but it was interesting to see.

I’m currently configuring my new linux dev/gaming machine. Thanks for giving me the push I needed, Microsoft!

But we’re talking about Lego, which is from Denmark. Correcting the quote is at expanse of the joke/relevance.

I just bought the Legendary Edition on Steam for not much at all, cheers

Given that it was identified that genAI couldn’t do maths and should instead write a small python program, why hasn’t this other well-known failing been special cased? AI sees text as tokens, but surely it can convert tokens to a stream of single-character tokens (i.e. letters) and work with that?

It is surprising that you don’t get any of those front tiles when they must be the cheapest part of the whole thing. Perhaps they’re assuming that all their customers already have a 3D printer.

This is very satisfying to use and is a nice companion to the command line - I particularly use it to stage only certain lines and files from the changes.

I tried lazygit first, but there was a consistent lag that was probably only ¼ second but it ruined the experience for me.

It’s not e-ink though, which was one of the defining features of a Pebble (and why the battery life was so good). Also, the Pebble guy is back with some new Pebbles: https://repebble.com/

I self-host open source software, pay for services that I don’t want to host (email, etc) and I prefer buying things to subscribing/renting things. I experience far less enshittification than most as a result.

Whereas I just assumed it was suggesting that the parent comment also was in the awful social skills group.

That’s a more beautiful looking game than I expect from retro graphics. A good write up, thanks for sharing.

I think OP means it’s above on a map, i.e. north, like how the Mediterranean is above Africa.

Edit: to head off any pedants: there are jet streams in the south too, but the point was that the length would be less than Earth’s circumference (plus xkcd comics seem to be set in north America).

I think that PSU is larger than necessary for running a PC with a single graphics card - I haven’t done the maths but it’s probably comfortably under 850W (a common PSU size). (l should have done the maths, judging by the responses)

The memory is huge but fractionally “slow” at CL32 - I’d say 32GB of CAS latency 30 memory would make more sense (or even CL28). With such premium kit, you might even be able to use DDR5-6400 (running at 1:1 mode).

It’s a huge price though - a really good PC should cost about a half of that (or even a third depending on your local prices), those components are in the “money’s no object” end of the range. It does match what you asked for, so if you don’t mind the price it’s a solid build using all of the latest and greatest speeds and versions.
