I tried them all (recently, Ghostty, for a day). My preferred terminal emulator was probably foot, back when I was on Linux.

» ls .config/archived
alacritty/         ghostty/           kitty/             matterbridge.toml  tig/               zed/
foot/              helix/             lazygit/           psql/              wezterm/

TIL we can open multiple PDF files as tabs in Preview.app (h/t Burkhard Schmidt). On Sequoia, the corresponding setting is now in the Desktop and Dock panel. #apple

TIL about Doppler. Drag’n drop and just press play. #apple

I got tired of NNW and I’m back with Newsboat. The bug I mentioned earlier on was due to a problem with my config file (probably related to multi-threading).

TIL about doxx, which is a MS docx viewer for the terminal that preserves formatting and provides an interactive experience.

Apparently, external evaluation cells in Wolfram 14.3 are in trouble with personal .Renviron file. If I remove mine, everything goes well, otherwise I get a permission issue with renv. My $HOME/.Renviron only modifies the path for renv cache:

R_LIBS_USER="~/.local/lib/R/library"
R_PROFILE="~/.config/R/Rprofile"
RENV_CONFIG_USER_PROFILE=TRUE
RENV_PATHS_ROOT="~/.cache/org.R-project.R/R/renv"

Once R virtual environment is created, I can reinstate my personal config file, and everything is okay, but I guess next time if an R expression that requires to install external dependencies I will face a similar issue. Otherwise, external evaluation cell and the whole ExternalEvaluate stuff looks pretty interesting.
