Ask HN: I'm interested in so many disciplines, but what can I do with that?
A couple of years back I started dabbling in the social sciences and humanities (my background is in ecology / evolutionary biology), and became interested in one discipline after another. From psychology to history of science to anthropology and sociology, to economics and politics, to philosophy and religious studies and cultural studies, etc.<p>I find it intrinsically motivating to move from ignorance slowly towards understanding. I love reading textbooks to learn basic concepts and looking through academic titles just to swim in their ideas.<p>While I loved university, I won't be able to handle the demands of formal schooling (especially not while raising a family). I also wouldn't want to do any advanced research degrees as I have no patience in studying a small set of problems (I tried it for science and it was horrendous).<p>While I have no issue just continuing to explore these subjects privately, I feel like something is missing. I feel like I want to do something more tangible with this breadth of interests, but I'm coming up empty in terms of ideas. I like writing and can imagine having some sort of blog, but that's seems so cliche?<p>Any suggestions? Perhaps examples of something others have done with their broad interests?<p>What does one do with an intellectual life other than swimming through intellectual content?

Show HN: Warp, a Rust-based terminal
Hi HN community,<p>I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, Warp is in public beta and any Mac user can download it. It works with bash, zsh, and fish.<p>The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive. After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor. To fix fundamental accessibility issues, I believe we need to start innovating on the terminal, and keep pushing further into the world of shells, ultimately ending up with a better integrated experience.<p>At Warp we are building a Rust-based terminal that keeps what’s best about the CLI while modernizing the experience. We’ve built<p>1) An input area that works just like a code editor: selections, cursor positioning and completion menus
2) Grouped commands and outputs: so you can easily copy, search, and share terminal outputs
3) AI-powered Command Generation and Community-sourced Workflows [0]: so you can find useful commands without leaving the terminal
4) The ability to share your outputs with teammates: no more pasting long unformatted code into Slack
5) Project Workflows: save your team’s common commands into your project so your teammates can run them from Warp
See a demo here: [1]<p>We built Warp in Rust with GPU-accelerated graphics, and along the way we built our own UI framework, a text editor that’s a CRDT, and an out-of-the-box theming system. You can learn more here [2]. Huge thanks to our early collaborators: Atom co-founder Nathan Sobo, Nushell co-founder Andres Robalino, and Fish shell lead developer Peter Ammon.<p>We are planning to first open-source our Rust UI framework, and then parts and potentially all of our client. As of now, the community has already been contributing new themes [3]. And we’ve just opened a repository for the community to contribute common useful commands. [4]<p>Our business model is to make the terminal so useful for individuals that their companies will want to pay for the team features. We will never sell your data.<p>We are calling today’s release a “beta” because we know there are still some issues to smooth out. You will notice that a log-in is required and that we do collect usage data and crash reports. We do so to enable team features and also to keep improving the product. Post-beta, we will allow users to opt out of usage data. You can see our privacy policy here [5].<p>While it is a “beta”, we are confident that even today the experience is meaningfully better than in other terminals. If you use a Mac, please give it a shot at warp.dev and let us know how it goes. Otherwise, sign up here [6] to be notified when Warp is ready for your platform.<p>Join our community on Discord [7] and follow us on Twitter [8]<p>Let me know what you think! Ask me anything!<p>[0] <a href="https://docs.warp.dev/features/workflows" rel="nofollow">https://docs.warp.dev/features/workflows</a>
