I always enjoy these lists. I think most folks out there could probably successfully adopt at least one or two of these tools. For me, that’s ripgrep and jq. The former is a great drop-in replacement for grep and the latter solves a problem I needed solving. I’ll try out a few of the others on this list, too. lsd and dust both appeal to me.
I just enjoy seeing others incrementally improve on our collective tool chest. Even if the new tool isn’t of use to me, I appreciate the work that went into it. They’re wonderful tools in their own right. Often adding a few modern touches to make a great tool just a little bit better.
Thank you to those who have put in so much effort. You’re making the community objectively better.
I think many of us linux admins have such a list. Mine in particular is carefully crafted around GPL-izing my stack as much as possible. I really like the format of this ikrima.dev one though! The other stuff is great too, worth a peruse.
Except that ripgrep isn't actually a drop-in replacement for grep as it behaves differently. It is a nice program don't get me wrong, but it is not interchangeable with grep.
I actually didn't know that, but my favourite part of this comment is seeing Xaphoon mentioned. I love Xaphoon! I still listen to some of his old remixes on youtube some times haha
100% agree. I would be fine if they had an estimated time-to-fully-charged displayed on the screen. I don’t need to know the status of my vehicle, personally. I would imagine a third party system could be implemented to achieve most of what one would need.
I disagree. Drag racing involves incredible honed vehicle endurance, just on a much shorter timescale. It’s an engineering problem with the goal of outputting as much power as possible within a short timespan (often only a few seconds) without detrimentally destroying the engine. As far as the drivers are concerned, the reaction time is obviously important, but they have to be extraordinarily consistent. At that, they have to drive the car at 5 g’s- not an easy task.
The engines still get destroyed. It's basically a complete rebuild between runs. Most of the spark plugs burn up, clutch disks get welded together, etc. The goal is basically to just not have the engine outright detonate so they can reuse the block.
You are absolutely correct. Perhaps I should’ve worded “detrimentally destroyed” as “catastrophic failure.” The rebuild process between runs is fascinating to watch. I’ve never seen an engine torn apart so quickly!

The first time I took my 286 intake manifold off, it took 4 hours. The 4th time I took it off, it took 20 minutes. Once you know exactly what to do, it really cuts the time down.
I'm sure every member of the team knows exactly what to do and it's down to a dance.
For fun, look how fast they change the tires on a Formula 1 pit stop.
I’ve tried using iTerm2’s automatic profile switching feature to adjust the theme depending on the connection, but I’ve never been able to get it to work reliably.
One thing I like about them is the peace of mind it brings. On the very rare occasion that I somehow forget to close my garage when I leave (maybe I’m in a rush and the button in my car didn’t register), it’s nice to be able to close the door remotely.
You could make the same argument about a 250 euro espresso machine and a 30 euro moka pot. If the materials are better and the buyer likes it, it’s worth it to them at least. I think most people who own an espresso machine understand it’s a luxury.
I don't disagree that a moka pot and espresso are completely different processes, I'm saying that a 250 EUR espresso machine is not going to be capable of making actual espresso (barring stuff like Flair that takes away components to make it work).
Just head to technical data and feel free to explain which parameter is wrong. Take the cheapest one, 213 euros. Is is 15 (12) bar of pressure? Some other type of heater, as 1300 Watts of input power is not enough?
Seriously, I don't understand what the limiting factor is? Not expensive enough?
Lack of temperature control is a minus, as that means that there will be some blends that won't taste good, these days most fancy machines have a pid (and if yours doesn't you should install it, or you are missing out).
Kind of related, lack of boiler at 1.5 atm means non-great milk foaming capabilities.
Also, you buy a good 1500$ machine, your grandchildren will be able to inherit it if you take care of it. That delhongi won't last two days further than the minimum required by guarantee.
For 1000$ difference in price, I wont buy those blends, there are zillions of others to try. So simple. Anyway, I have checked and there is some temperature control + you can get more if you turn up the steam making and turn back to espresso making. A "hack".
So, if I buy 5x Dedica (edit, just checked: 167 euro in my country, so it is actually 8x) for the price, and package them NEW for my grandchildren, this doesnt count?
Actually higher end ones are at 20.000 euros, so I will rather drink my 6666 espressos in bar, made by professional, on 20k euros machine with zero effort. I am good for next 18 years.
I really enjoy using Zed whenever I can. It’s incredibly snappy and has a clean UI. I agree with some of the other sentiments in this thread that I wish that the developers would focus more on some core IDE features. If Zed had better Git integration and remote support, I could switch over to it full time.
For me it's the lack of support for more languages that is stopping me... But as I write this I just went to have a look and it looks like they've just added a whole bunch in the last few months!
