This is demonstrated in the second half of this video (around the 11:30 mark):

This seems good enough for emulating early 8088 and maybe even 80286 PCs, so opens up a big catalog of early games.

I once briefly worked on a commercial system where the UI looked like it had been designed with a shotgun.

Dozens of UI elements. Nothing on the screen aligned. Nothing was in a logical place. Related items were not grouped together. Buttons had labels like 'Button1', 'Button1_'. The tab-order was completely random, so you had to use a mouse exclusively. It was a horror show.

The code underneath was just as crazy. The system was used day-to-day by several people who just understood its quirks. I made the fix I needed to make and got the hell out of there.

The command that I was trying to use was 'ls', which doesn't seem to play with textview when I try it out 'ls | textview' (just no output at all). textview does work for me with files, as in your example.

What is line hinting?

If you use less with a filename, it will work. I normally pipe things to less which doesn't seem to work for me in nu. less shows an empty input.

This is possibly me just doing something wrong.

This seems very interesting. After a quick play I cannot find anything similar to 'less' which I use very frequently. Is there a nushell equivalent?

You would think that an exact title search would work, but no. Same on Play Store. I am guessing that installs and rating is very heavily weighted.

This has been a minor obsession of mine for the past few months. My first project in Unity .

I had a huge amount of fun building it. ANY advice on how to find a market of people who like to play puzzle games would be greatly appreciated. I have no experience in selling a product.

Does any other country have a 'primary' system like the US? In Australia there is no pretending to elect candidates for each party. In our recent election we had two choices for PM from the major parties, chosen by the parties themselves.

In the US you spent a year choosing your candidates, but behind closed doors one of those parties spent all their time trying to push one candidate whilst the other party spent all their time trying to stop another.

The Australian system seems a little more honest, even though the roles of PM and President are quite different. We can elect a PM and the party can then choose to throw them out the week after. This happens frequently.

This is simple but excellent. AWS should have graphs like that on their calculator page to help people decide how long it will take for their investment in a reserved instance to get ahead of on-demand (or another reserved instance plan).
