This is the = command that adds a new column based on a Python expression you provide. You can reference the cells in the current row based on the column name. It is also possible to create a column based on the output of a shell command.

Try asking on https://github.com/saulpw/visidata the community there can help. I am seeing this issue on a Mac with ghostty but not with wezterm, from the same binary. Ghostty shows some correct characters and some di

Thank you for doing this, this is fun. Also, I love all the nostalgic comments. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Robert Tinney the artist who illustrated many of the covers. His work is pretty amazing, and seemed to capture all sort

One my favorite tools is Visidata ( https://www.visidata.org/ ). It is great for viewing and working with data in the terminal. It is useful if you need to quickly explore data and change some data. VisiData makes it possibl

One of my favorite tools. However, I don’t think that Visidata is a spreadsheet, even though it looks like one and is named after one. It is more spreadsheet adjacent. It is focused on row-based and column-based operations. It doesn’t sup

This works great with terminals that can handle ligatures. I've used it with Kitty and recently tried it with Ghostty. The author shows several different examples using the fonts to make groups of 3 digits within larger numbers easi

There was a lot of effort to add many more help guides that provide context-sensitive help where you need it. The main complaint I’ve read from people is that VisiData is too complex. The last few releases have attempted to address these c

This is cool. I'll mention an alternative way to visualize Venn diagrams are UpSet Plots. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UpSet_plot [2]: https://upset.app/ -- points to multiple implementation

I would add another site to the list: https://inconsolation.wordpress.com/ You can find reviews of hundreds of CLI And TUI programs, some great, others barely known and clearly forgotten. The last review is from 2015. Som

I don't think this would work as a lesspipe.sh viewer, since it is interactive. I have wanted this for VisiData for data files. You would need a wrapper around less that could start other programs instead of less. You might be intere

This looks really nice, I hope it does well. It reminds me that I miss https://inconsolation.wordpress.com/ ended. It had all sorts of great and humorous reviews on terminal based software.

Nice to see progress on Oils. The blog post talks about some screencasts, does anyone know where those are?

This fx rewrite is very exciting. I'll have to try it. I thought of fx as a wrapper around jq, that allowed quick iteration over building jq scripts. Sort of an Ultimate Plumber [1] but only for jq. It looks like it is now more lik

I also find VisiData is useful for adhoc exploring of JSON data. You can also use it to explore multiple other formats. I find it really helpful, plus it gives that little burst of adrenaline from its responsive TUI, similar to fx and jl

I would be interested to see what an LLM could make out of this archive. How it might categorize the threads or how it might help make sense of it. Vikram's manual curation is the useful part. In the podcast, he mentions he would l

Actually the Vikram said he had initially added a search feature and it didn't appear to be very useful. He says: search is an awful way to curate text when your readers don't know what is interesting about it. This is obviou

The VisiData developers created a fun multi-part data wrangling puzzle last year called the Hanukkah of Data [1]. It is not specific to any tool, so you can use command line tools, the TUI data explorer VisiData[2] or whatever data tools y

Jeremy Springer-Vine, the Data Editor, BuzzFeed News talks about the data efforts that underpinned the FinCEN Files. I wonder if this was today, if they would have used AI data-scraping to get structured data out of the PDFs.

lolive, VisiData has some Excel support. However, don't expect VisiData to be a full blown editor for Excel files. It can provide a view of the data in an Excel spreadsheet.

Also, there is the VisiData Tutorial by Jeremy Singer-Vine. This is a very helpful introduction to VisiData. https://jsvine.github.io/intro-to-visidata/index.html I am a big fan of VisiData for working with data in the

Yes, agreed. This looks like it is being actively developed. It has some interesting ideas. I like the fact that conflicts are committed, and can be resolved later: """If an operation results in conflicts, information abou

I like Perforce it is fairly easy to use. If you want to go old school there is RCS or SCCS. GNU provides source code (for SCCS there called CSSC). Though *CS are per file not per logical commit. IIRC Perforce actually used RCS under the
