M1 Finance is quite like this.

This reminds me of https://www.getguesstimate.com/ , a probabilistic spreadsheet.

I assume this "Universal" resolution is enabled by adding the "--universal" cli argument?

It doesn't look like this is currently documented but I found some hints in the release notes.

Memray is definitely best in class!

Structurizr -> mermaid is a nice way to go especially since GH now renders Mermaid. We use the structurizr-python library to update diagrams in CI

The only thing I do is enable the kubernetes plugin which for some reason isn't the default.

Just use starship.rs , then.

Agree - Wezterm is great!

It's my goto on linux now, and I even installed in on my Mac where I'm daily driving Warp.

mostly because you can spend an arbitrary amount of time tweaking your vim to get it the way you want it. This Vim distros, like SpaceVim and AstroNvim, are a great foundation working on an IDE-like vim setup.

For example, in AstroNvim - the path completion dropdown shows icons and all paths accessible, when focusing on a file, it shows the head of the file. It's a really smart UX integration. It would likely have taken me weeks to months of playing with my config to have a small subset of what is available in the distro.

They're also very configurable, so you can override any key-binding you want, add or disable plugins.

I guess it depends on how you want to spend your time :shrug

I've tried lots of these tools. I'm currently doing

pan-OS

ohmyzsh - mostly for the git aliases :D

starship - contextual prompt

AstroNvim - this replaced SpaceVim for me - a delightful- batteries included vim

direnv - directory-based environments - I have custom layouts that install python with pyenv, and a virtualenv with pyenv-virtualenv, and activates the VE based on the .python-version

RipGrep - replaces ag for search

k9s - for managing kubernetes

hishtory - command history search

lsd - colorful ls replacement in rust

bat - colorful cat replacement in rust

brew - so much fresher than apt packages on linux

OSx

Warp - next gen terminal - replaced iterm for me

Linux

Wezterm - really snappy terminal emulator

There's no way that isolating the soleus is somehow mysterious and out of reach of the common person.

Just tell us what sort of activation is needed - how long should you do the exercise - we can manage to figure out if we're working our soleus.

It's really better than any GUI I've used. I like it better than Weave Scope, Lens, and Rancher.

you.com is so refreshing -- I've been using it since learning about it and I see it getting better and better.

Been loving the twitter integration, the code blocks, stack overflow -- and the lack of adds. Love it!

I switched to LSD from Exa as soon as I realized that Exa wasn't a ls drop-in replacement -- it's been great so far.
