Wrote my first  #Rust program today. A small utility to grab the last value of a matching column in a matching csv file. I had hacked something together with #qsv, #nushell and #python, but those were all too slow for fast repeated calls. This Rust version executes 10-100x faster: a few ms on a  #RaspberryPi 4, neat! 👌

Rust and  #nix is also a match made in heaven, omg is the experience better than Python 🫠

#RedoxOS: “Wildan Mubarok fixed #Nushell which was not working for some time. He also dropped our fork and switched to latest upstream code.”

Nushell Niceties: Checking If Value Is In List Or String Or Key In Record
A blog by @mrhaki

Nushell has the in operator to check if a value is an element of list. With the same in operator you can check if a string is a substring of another string. And finally you can use the in operator to check if a key is in a record. When you use the operator the value you want to check is defined before the operator and the list, other string...

#Nushell 0.111.0
https://www.nushell.sh/blog/2026-02-28-nushell_v0_111_0.html

Highlights:
* Updated `input list` command: select menus are smooth now and there are some really useful new flags along the way
* Aliasing now works with parent commands (type polars less now)
* Users can (finally!) use `finally` after `try .. catch ..`
* Change `let` to allow assignment values to be passed through when `let` is used in the middle of a pipeline
* Experimental cross-platform native clipboard: new `clip copy` and `clip paste` commands

Hi all. I’m Adam (adenoz), and this is my first time on the Fediverse.

I’m an Australian data professional, and I’m typically always working on at least one side project at any one time. I won’t be writing about my $work, but I will happily write about my various side projects and interests.

I really enjoy working with #duckdb and #ggplot2 as well as finding ways to use #rustlang and tools written in rust. I have a blog built with #zola where I’ll keep writing longer form things.

I like keeping up with global events and geopolitical related matters. I especially like combining those themes with data. Simple examples of interesting things include GDELT, news text like in Factiva, and Google Trends data.

At the moment, I’m writing a native mac app that will be a query and analytics studio. That’s all I have for now on that, though more will come in due course.

I like #linux, using #nushell and #HelixEditor, as well as the great software on #macos. My current favourite IDE is #zededitor. Sometimes (often?), I’m torn between Linux and Mac for very different reasons.

I’m now rambling, so I’ll stop there for now.

#introduction

#nushell is really fucking nice for working with things like `niri msg -j ...`

Combined that with #nix, and now I have bindings to jump directly to my #niri preset column widths.

mod+[ and mod+] now jump to the next smaller or wider preset, or ctrl+mod+x jumps to the preset at index x.

That was fun.
