Friends, I'm not saying that tools like zx are not good. I do like to write some scripts using js/ts. I believe pythoners prefer https://xon.sh/ . Perl is also attractive and interesting. Fish is friendly. However, I still believe that posix-shell has its own advantages. The balance among size, code length, and expressiveness. I think the only possible competitors are tcl and perl, maybe lua. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Sorry for the hijack, but I've been using xonsh[1] since 2018. It's a shell with Python syntax. If you dislike Bash scripting, and know Python, please consider this! [1] https://xon.sh/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

Those of you who use (or used) this as your shell: care to share your experience? It seems a lot less full-featured than https://xon.sh/, but maybe you don't need a lot of bells and whistles for regular usage. I mostly run build, execute, and install commands. I'm somewhat enticed at the possibility of being able to wrap common executables into forms that are typed (like nushell or elvish) and manipulate them in a... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

In that case, is it even more similar to xonsh? https://xon.sh/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

Not to hijack, but also consider xonsh[1]. It's Python based, and all your scripts can be Python (or hybrid-Python). I've been using it for both Windows and Linux for over 5 years. [1] https://xon.sh/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

It's a good read. It's very pro organ donation but also talks about the dark side of this practice, of potentially killing patients to harvest their organs, among other things. I am more familiar with the emotional toll organ donation takes on potential recipients who are basically waiting and hoping for someone young and healthy to die in a tragic accident that they might live. Because of the focus of this piece,... - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

ANOM has been discussed many times before: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=ANOM The new part here is that journalist Joseph Cox (404 MEdia, Vice) wrote a book coming out in June called "Dark Wire: The Incredible True Story of the Largest Sting Operation Ever". - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

Here are prior HN posts on micromanagement, you tell us: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=micromanagement > "I try to communicate with my team..." This feels weird, when you ask them directly "Why did this milestone get missed, when it seemed on-track?", what are they telling you? Do they have other priorities and tasks from other managers? Else, what is going on? If you ask the other managers, what do they tell you? - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago
