- telchar 7y agoThis looks like a neat program. (As someone who has never used ruby): how do I run it? This isn't obvious to me.
- slenk 7y agoSince it declares the interpreter at the beginning (https://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup/blob/master/taoup#L1 https://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup/blob/master/taoup#L1), you should just be able to chmod +x it and run it as ./taoup Since it's an executable like that, this would also allow you to put it in /usr/local/bin (or wherever you keep bins) and call it from anywhere in your shell with 'taoup' (my technical wording may be off)
- hlynurd 7y agoI don't remember that quote at all, who said it in the book?
- Green_man 7y agoLeto is talking to Paul, and he is talking about either a region or a chemical process that is important for the production of film stock. then he sardonically says something like, (paraphrasing): "Film stock is very important. we have the finest propaganda offices. The people must learn how well I govern them. How would they know if we didn't tell them?" he means it sarcastically, but propaganda is important to keep useful people on the planet and to win the general populace over. Leto knows he's backed into a corner on Arrakis and he's focusing on what he can. I also could only find the part i posted originally online, its not one of the more frequent quotes from the book.
