I was going to be mad about all the breaking changes in #Nushell 0.72, but every bit they removed was something that at some point annoyed me enough that I had to set Nu aside for a little bit and practice my breathing.

So — yay?

@cinebox I’m used to it, but I know folks that have basically done aliases / functions for stuff like ls | grid to get just names in one row. And now they can use a block in their alias: ls | each {|it| print $it.name }

@cinebox what happens if you try open config.toml

hackers.town: 2022-11-30 Wed 01:10

@cinebox or rather:

open config.toml | table --expand

@cinebox ohh right there’s already an open under macOS. There’s a setup to work around that, but naturally I’m on the Windows machine right now.

@cinebox Even after a couple years, I don’t use Nu as my login shell because of little surprises like that. But it’s awesome enough for file processing that I have a binding in tmux to open a new window in Nushell.

@cinebox Stuff like this that sure I could do the equivalent in Python but I’d need modules and some additional massaging.

(I’ll chill now. I just have so much fun with it)

extracting my Hugo Web site’s configuration details with Nushell one-liners.

Another day when I’m at my smartest at 1am.

Not THAT surprising. Very little chance of any distracting requests, meetings, or barking dogs.

Well at least the bug was identifiable that this much brain was sufficient.

there will be naps today

@halcy That sounds right, but I did all my rst stuff in context of a Hugo site, so missed out on most of the Sphinx specifics.

@WuMargaret Would love to get my productivity rhythms a little closer to that of others, or at least closer to their waking hours. Especially those of @IamMrsGeek!

Last night as my brain was wandering I pondered what whether anybody did any #ActivityPub / #IndieWeb crossovers and of course Aaron Parecki already has a relevant project:

TFW when trauma sorry I mean valuable work experience makes you blurt in the meeting to support the data person’s work giving every date value a time and time zone (to be converted to UTC)

@yenzie I’d default to h-card but it’s mostly down to personal preference. If you’re using an SSG you can handle multiple and hide the complexity behind a template / shortcode.

hackers.town: 2022-11-30 Wed 10:26

@yenzie And it’s a very forgiving format. You could have <a class="h-card" href="...">...</a> and handlers could do something with it.

@jacob Well, mostly I assume somebody else will also take a nap on this world.

Honestly I kinda like my 2022 Wrapped playlist. I go to Spotify in very specific moods, and this includes material from each of those moods. Big recognizable titles prioritized over curious explorations. That’s what Bandcamp’s for.

Snow again? That’s just confusing.

Entertaining myself with the #JuliaLang Term.jl library examples this evening.

Julia code samples and fancy formatted terminal output
