You’re welcome
There are many modern alternatives to common Unix commands, often written in rust, or provided in Nushell, that showcase that. Here are some common themes I like:
Good defaults: You shouldn’t have to memorize
tar -xzvfjust to extract a tar file; The thing you’re most likely to want to do should be the default. But other use cases should still be achievable through the use of flags. Make simple thing easy and difficult things possible.Subcommands: It helps separate and discover the different functions of a CLI. Paired with a help subcommand, you can quickly look up information for the subcommand you’re actually interested in.
Domain specific languages: Many problems already have a solution in the form of a DSL, such as Regex or SQL. My favourite example for this is
httpie, which lets you specify the type, body and parameters of an HTTP request without touching any flags.I also much prefer long flags over short ones, because they are self-documenting.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone got any informative YouTube channels that DON’T use AI slop?
43·10 days agoEven if you can’t afford Nebula, I recommend browsing its explore section, because many of its high quality creators and videos are also on YouTube. The following are some of my favourite creators on YouTube.
30 minute animated documentary-style videos: LEMMiNO, melodysheep, fern, Hoog, neo, PolyMatter, Imperial, Cipher, Real Engineering, Mustard
Shorter explainer videos: Posy, Kurzgesagt, PBS Space Time, Sciencephile the AI, minutephysics, Steve Mould, Half as Interesting

Linux@lemmy.ml•How to diagnose a complete system freeze (no REISUB, no mouse/kb, have to hard reset)?

Probably, but YouTube also compresses popular videos more aggressively, so you need to download less data to watch a second of video.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the best vps provider for privacy and price to performance?
2·16 days agoTrue, I almost forgot that I had to give them my ID. That’s pretty bad for your own privacy, but other than that Germany has better privacy laws than most other countries

This could easily be implemented with an SQL-like database. Are you sure you want to use Git for this? The only advantage would be that you get historic data out of the box, but you’ll probably only fetch the latest data anyways

Me neither, I only stumbled across this a couple of days ago. I don’t use Bluesky but I heard that it’s not really defederated because of the large amount of resources it requires. Not sure if it applies to ATProto in general. For now I’m sticking with Codeberg because what’s a federated network worth if there’s not much to federate with
Tangled is also a new Git forge built on ATProto, the protocol used by Bluesky
