I use Fish as a user shell everywhere I can and end up using Bash daily for scripting and on servers/VMs/containers at work, I've also been using Nushell a lot recently for personal scripts.

Biggest drawbacks for me is mixing up a few bits of syntax and some software doesn't ship Fish completion scripts, although I never write scripts in Fish which reduces the syntax I actually use.

In my opinion Fish is worth it just for the auto complete suggestions alone, but I also really like the way it handles editing config, it's sane default config, understandable error messages, and plug-ins.

Nushell is very nice, but I find it doesn't match the usability of Fish for interactive shells. Love it for scripts though.

Sadly that almost makes things worse, if it's off then it's a data point that helps to id privacy conscious people.

There's Lix, although I'm not clear on if it's about changes to the language or if it's entirely focused on improving the tooling.

In my experience the view of the police is pretty positive here in the UK.

The company that I work for makes a b2b wholesale platform. We use Rust on the backend for its reliability. The performance is a nice bonus too.

That's correct in the most of the English speaking world, apple juice is what it sounds like, cider is fermented apple juice (as far as I'm aware, it is in the UK). In American English cider is apple juice, and hard cider is fermented, alcoholic apple juice.

Did you stay with Paypal after that? I'd have run for the hills.

Maybe even one that can randomise some settings to throw off fingerprinting.

Do you know a good alternative?

I find it concerning that Twitter has become such a common way to share news. The short message format can make it impossible to get a full point across reliably.

Discord is pretty good, although it's gaming focused so not ideal if you're looking for something professional.

Have you ever looked at Lutris?

Syncthing instead of dropbox. Works great for synching music (and only music as I can just sync a single folder) and for replicating important files across multiple computers.

I've got it on a linode and across all my computers.

That and water is very good at storing heat meaning that it stays skin blisteringly hot even after the rest of the food has cooled down to edible levels.

It's serverless in that there is no specific server running it. The website is distributed across Ipfs and the chat is peer-to-peer.

I've enjoyed using Elm for client side development.

There's a lot that can be done to shrink a Rust binary[0]. A copy of the summary:

- Compile with --release.

- Before distribution, enable LTO and strip the binary.

- If your program is not memory-intensive, use the system allocator (assuming nightly).

- You may be able to use the optimization level s/z in the future as well.

- I didn’t mention this because it doesn’t improve such a small program, but you can also try UPX and other executable compressors if you are working with a much larger application.

Syncthing handles this pretty well. Only downside (upside in some cases) is that it's self hosted rather than a service.

Just [0] is a pretty great generic task runner incase anyone is looking for one. It's written in Rust so it doesn't introduce any new languages (single binary install) and it uses a make inspired syntax but aims to avoid some of Make's issues.

Nixos can automatically upgrade.

Did you consider the approach of scanning through the readme and looking for urls to known donation sites? Maybe this could be done separately to add to the list?

Why is this? I've only recently started looking at it.

The error message catalogue [1] mentioned at the end of that first blog is interesting, wonder if Rust would benefit from something similar.

I'm the opposite, I prefer multi monitor. I like that separation between the things I'm doing, e.g. code and documentation, games and chat.

Aren't they a species of Dolphin rather than an actual Whale? I think the name comes from a mis-translation and should be whale killer.

I'll have a look for a source if I can later.

If we're talking Python, then I've had great experiences with Kivy.

My vote goes for Syncthing too, simple single binary install and works with no configuration. I've installed it on my desktop, vps, laptop, and phone use it instead of Dropbox now.

I've even got two non techy friends to install it (albeit talking them through it) and it still works to this day.

I still think git-cola is one of my favourite Git Ui's. Anyone know any other good ones?

Can you recommend a search engine? I'm trying DuckDuckGo, but it's just not as good.
