Tuc – When cut doesn’t cut it2022 · github.com · ▲241Announcing `tuc`, a utility similar to coreutils `cut`, but more powerful. It allows to split text or bytes into parts and reassemble them in any order. I always found `cut` very practical for some tasks where `sed` or `awk` were overkill or awkward to use, but I also felt the need for more features. Some key differences from `cut`: - parts can be referenced by negative indexes - delimiters can be any number of characters long, or match a regex - can split text into lines, and reassemble them

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
