None of the mentioned tools are specific to Fish shell. Most even work on Powershell

I’m relearning React. It’s been two or three years since I last used it seriously, and I want to get comfortable with it once again especially when it comes to new features like Hooks.

  From a usuability point of view hooks look like a step-back to me. Also, while the previous version was not simple, I could imagine how it works under the hooks, and the upcoming scheduler are daunting. In any case, reactjs and react-query leads to code that is more difficult to read (they do not use async / await for performance reasons). WDYT?

    To be totally honest, I’m not a big fan of hooks (the little that I’ve used it). It feels like too much magic is going on, and it’s taking a while to wrap my head around it. But I want to keep an open mind and learn it properly since the community seems to largely accepted it as the new default way to write React.

      Did you change your mind regarding ReactJS and its hooks?

I use zoxide (from the autojump family of tools) and let my computer remember my frequently used directories for me.

(AFAIK autojump inspired j inspired j2 inspired z inspired z.lua inspired zoxide.)

  I also use zoxide because it supports both Powershell and fish unlike many of its predecessors

I ditched standalone Linux for WSL2 sometime last year. I can’t remember the exact reason I switched but I knew I had had enough with the various problems I encountered, and at that time I had not used Windows in 5 years. Maybe I just looking for an excuse to try something new, but WSL paved the way and I don’t see myself turning back soon. Windows has its own annoyances, but once you set it up it should be (relatively) smooth sailing.

ayo 5 months ago | link | on: What email client do you use?

I’ve been using Thunderbird for many years now without extensions. Works perfectly for the most part, so can’t relate to your issues. The last email app I used that wasn’t Thunderbird, is Mailspring which was forked from Nylas N1, but I can’t remember why I stopped using it.

  I agree. Thunderbird seems to be the least-worst option available. It also has a lot of “advanced” features such as a proper tree-thread view and the ability to pull up the full conversation (in tree form of course).
  
  Personally I don’t like clients that linearize threads, it makes following discussions hard. I also can’t stand clients that thread based on subject (coughgmailcough).

    and the ability to pull up the full conversation
    
    That’s a neat trick.
