Zsh is still king in my book. Fish and Bash don't have the language features, and Zsh completion with menu groups is a premier experience. Fish's completion from manpages is very good, but there's also a standard zsh function to complete from --help output.

If I were to switch shells, it would have to be to nushell.

I've always considered it to be such that the whole thing is simultaneously a joke and true (haha jk, unless?), or maybe just hyperbole. But I've avoided using it myself because clearly it gets misinterpreted way too frequently

Strange, I don't see this behavior on my device. Not sure what information would be relevant to debugging this though.

It's probably the biggest deal for games running in xwayland

Its incredibly common to be thrown by this. Like many memes, the original incarnations were to be taken at face value, but then a layer of irony got applied, and the ironic/self-deprecating variant became the norm.

16x10 means retro 4x3 games look much better.

That would make my shell unusable, since some plugins use ./source.

It used to use project folders, but due to confusion/user error was changed in 3.0.

This has never stuck with me, and I hadn't thought about why until now. I have two reasons why I will always write ${x}_$y.z instead of ${x}_${y}.z:

  • Syntax highlighting and shellcheck have always caught the cases I need to add braces to prevent $x_ being expanded as ${x_}.
  • I write a lot of Zsh. In Zsh, braces are optional in way more cases. "$#array[3]" actually prints the length of the third item in array, rather than (Bash:) the number of positional parameters, then the string 'array[3]'.

Yep, I'm finding about half of my Reddit usage satisfied. I've got all the technical talk I want, but no gaming or writing communities.

Bryan Lunduke on /c/programmerhumor? Not what I expected, but okay.

I've got syntax highlighting enabked, so I always notice the different color when I type a commnand.
