Nu Shell and Databricks
Most of the time I'm in Powershell which, thanks to Powershell Core, is now cross-platform and incredibly powerful. But I'm finding myself also using Nu more and more. In both shells I also use the Databricks CLI a lot. Want to check the status of jobs? Use the CLI. Want to upload and download data? Use the CLI. And so on.

Top Github repo trends in 2021
There are also some new shells in the list, including Tabbyand Nushell, which both had around 7K stars, though Nushell is a much newer project

You shouldn't parse the output of ls(1)
I'd recommend to take a look at https://www.nushell.sh/ which has structured output, but displays it neatly when printing to the terminal.

Unix Shell Programming: The Next 50 Years
I'm surprised to see no mention of nushell [0] I've tried it a while ago and seemed really promising

Nushell with WSL
Has anyone tried out Nushell recently? I've been playing with it for the last few days, and it's shaping up into something pretty impressive for data/pipeline handling.

PSA: Stop using complicated DISPLAY pipelines
But no, people should use pipes in Nushell, of course! ;-P

NeoSH is looking for contributors!
Might want to add something about why someone would want this over something like say NuShell. Only thing I'm seeing right now seems to be the Lua thing.. which is kind of irrelevant to me anyway. Thanks.

I have what might be a super dumb question, but if you could indulge me...
You might find this interesting

Linus Torvalds on why desktop Linux sucks
There's also Nushell, which I've never used, which is similar to Powershell in that commands return structured data rather than text, but I believe has a more functional-inspired approach, rather than object-oriented.

Is there a way to highlight insert mode?
Interesting, this works in xterm, but not with alacritty. Found another way to specific colors with RGB hex values that works in both though... \e]12;rgb:0/ff/0\a

TIL: By holding SHIFT key you can select and copy text from the terminal even if VIM is opened. (or any other application that uses mouse in terminal)
Re: Alacritty. There's also a vi mode that allows you to do the same using only the keyboard.

How and what are you planning to learn in 2022?
Video streaming and low-latency networking, because it intersects my work, and because I am fucking done with CRUD. Vimscript, ZSH innards and Tmux plugins because they really catch my fancy now. Definitely some Rust too, as I get capacity. I switched over to Alacritty during the week gone. The readability of the language and codebase stood out to me, while poking through some internals to figure out configuration loading order.

Alacritty users, my config to free up key bindings
Alacritty has some features that are redundant with Tmux features. This configuration removes related keybindings and disables features

Why do some unicode characters conflict and how can I prioritize certain ones?
I tested on alacritty and urxvt. It seems sort of like the issue being discussed here, but I'm not sure what the remedy is. The font isn't really useful to me if none of the interesting characters actually work...
