Yes, that changes the borders. But it doesn’t turn a column into a table. Compare ls /proc
in both bash and nu. It’s a simple kind of thing that I can’t find a solution for in nu.
Sadly that’s still not a compact output. The listing is still just as long as before scrolls right off the terminal
Hey Nu fans: is there some way to get compact ls output? Like a table of just names. No type, date, size, etc.
Cafe Flesh? 🤨 Oh dear.

I did not know what to expect going in to this one. 10 minutes in I was thinking it would be unbearable. 20 minutes in and I was laughing. It somehow gets weirder and funnier all the way through. And when I say weird, it’s like Eraserhead level weird.
I have the same weird obsession with GITD stuff. One of my pendants has tritium-powered glow tube in it.
Nushell is nice, but the lack of vi-style keybindings killed it for me as a replacement for bash. If that ever changes, I’ll try it again.
Good catch with the camera!
This one hit home for me:
We’re just not much good any more at refusing things because they don’t seem proper. As a society, we can’t even manage to turn our backs on abysmal threats like heroin and the hydrogen bomb. As a culture, we love to play with fire, just for the sake of its allure; and if there happens to be money in it, there are no holds barred. Jumpstarting Mary Shelley’s corpses is the least of our problems; something much along that line happens in intensive-care wards every day.

I was surprised. Very fun.

One of the real gems I had missed until recently: Orphan Black. And I’ll second the recommendation for Severance.

It’s not in the ginger family. Don’t eat it. But you can make tea with it! I think this is the wild ginger. It wants to grow everywhere in the yard and in every pot. It usually has a root knot that makes it harder to pull out than most weeds.
There are a bunch. Here’s a list: https://youhadmeatgardening.com/best-plant-identification-app/
I don’t have one installed myself. My partner did the identification. I think he’s using plant.id.
Akira! I haven’t seen it, but from the previews Chappie might fit the bill.
If you are a reader of Scott Alexander, there is an ACX meetup monthly in Atlanta. Engaging people and conversations to be had there. I’m a semi-regular there.
Daikon radish, more for breaking up and nourishing the soil than for the radishes themselves. I’ve done it before earlier in the year, but you should be able to plant them here in late summer or early fall.
Conjure is what did it for me. I kept running into trouble with Clojure vs ClojureScript vs Babashka projects with vim. Just couldn’t get the config to work consistently when switching between projects.
The eval period was about a day.
