I use Fish as a user shell everywhere I can and end up using Bash daily for scripting and on servers/VMs/containers at work, I've also been using Nushell a lot recently for personal scripts.

Biggest drawbacks for me is mixing up a few bits of syntax and some software doesn't ship Fish completion scripts, although I never write scripts in Fish which reduces the syntax I actually use.

In my opinion Fish is worth it just for the auto complete suggestions alone, but I also really like the way it handles editing config, it's sane default config, understandable error messages, and plug-ins.

Nushell is very nice, but I find it doesn't match the usability of Fish for interactive shells. Love it for scripts though.

In my experience the view of the police is pretty positive here in the UK.

The company that I work for makes a b2b wholesale platform. We use Rust on the backend for its reliability. The performance is a nice bonus too.

That's correct in the most of the English speaking world, apple juice is what it sounds like, cider is fermented apple juice (as far as I'm aware, it is in the UK). In American English cider is apple juice, and hard cider is fermented, alcoholic apple juice.

Did you stay with Paypal after that? I'd have run for the hills.

Maybe even one that can randomise some settings to throw off fingerprinting.

> Moreover, for some reason people tend to read only that first tweet while what I wanted to say is in next 5 tweets too.

I find it concerning that Twitter has become such a common way to share news. The short message format can make it impossible to get a full point across reliably.

Discord is pretty good, although it's gaming focused so not ideal if you're looking for something professional.

That and water is very good at storing heat meaning that it stays skin blisteringly hot even after the rest of the food has cooled down to edible levels.

It's serverless in that there is no specific server running it. The website is distributed across Ipfs and the chat is peer-to-peer.
