We've released @VisiData 2.0! It's now in PyPI (pip) and will be available in other package managers and distros as soon as we catch our breath. patreon.com/posts/visidata-2…

Another reason why the chart is misleading is something akin to Jevons' Paradox. Optimizing a monthly task may mean it can now be done several times a day, which can create radical new workflows and change the game well beyond the time saved from the original task.

Last night, we deployed VisiData v2.1.1. 🎉 It is a small release with bugfixes that you will want to have. visidata.org/blog/2021/v2.1.… My favourite is that it now handles piping into head gracefully. head closes pipes early, as soon as it has enough input to showcase.

I can't wait until @AmeliaMN discovers @VisiData
My kingdom for a lightweight csv “spreadsheet” editor. I want to be able to: 1. see data in cells 2. enter new data 3. sort in ascending and descending order 4. save (That’s it, that’s the end of the feature list.)

I bought a new @System76 Linux PC back in June. It randomly hangs under load, now happening several times a day, even with just videochat and mild gaming. Customer service at System76 is responsive but I don't have time or energy to diagnose and experiment with heat paste.
