That is a pretty lame “poisoning”.

This also makes me realize that I sometimes enunciate “the” unvoiced.

Well now you’ve seen it elsewhere, too.

That’s because you haven’t unlearned it yet

Two, arguably: one with Apple and one with upstream Linux.

String escaping sucks in bash and other posix-style shells too, though.

But that’s not actually true in general; there is a default branch concept in forges, and an integration and/or release branch in most recommended workflows. That’s the trunk.

Fair, but it’s one that the typical tools for finding bugs, tests and static analysis, cannot actually help with.

Believe me, whitespace-correct scripting is absolutely an issue.

You’re right that it’s annoying when filenames diverge right at a character that must be escaped.

For interactive use, tab-completion essentially makes this a non-issue, because shells add escaping in the appropriate places.

For scripting, where spaces are harder to deal with, unfortunately there’s just not much you can do; your two options are basically to learn all of your particular shell’s patterns for dealing with whitespace in filenames, or only write scripts in something other than a POSIX shell.

Here it is:

Presumably, it already used SIMD, and that’s how the existing GNU utility beat Rust by a factor of 17x.

That’s fair; Python, Swift, and most Lisps all use or have previously used reference-counting. But the quoted sentence isn’t wrong, since it said no “garbage collection pauses” rather than “garbage collection.”

“Garbage collection” is ambiguous, actually; reference counting is traditionally considered a kind of “garbage collection”. The type you’re thinking of is called “tracing garbage collection,” but the term “garbage collection” is often used to specifically mean “tracing garbage collection.”

What’s wrong with the explanation given?

…the rest of it explains the context, and then briefly says that some people will disagree with the decision, but those people should just use a different distro. What are you complaining about?

To be fair, the drop/dealloc “pause” is very different from what people usually mean when they say “garbage collection pause”, i.e. stop-the-world (…or at least a slice of the world).

You could also just alias find back to ^find. I don’t use nushell as my daily driver for other reasons, and I agree with the comment above that it’s a bit questionable for them to have a built-in with that name, but I don’t understand why you’d even try out a new shell, let alone one that’s radically different from POSIX-style shells, much less complain online about the shell you just tried, when you’re already happy with the shell you’re using and are not willing to adapt any habits or explore the configuration options to match your needs.

I genuinely can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not.

Fair!
