Hah, the paper includes `starwars → telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl` as an example of `Bookmarking Locations` in command-line customization files. Had completely forgotten about that!

Thanks for those links! From the code comments: "it won't cause any more bias than what the page_random scheme causes anyway. Trust me, I'm a mathematician. :)" Git blame says the author was "Ilmari Karonen" (

Definitely a good idea to be able to specify the kind of topic areas that one would be interested in. Also good to restrict it to more "quality" articles. I can see spending a few hours reading articles :) Anyone know how Wikipedi

I like their framing here. No more Python 2.7: use Python 3 or "an alternative language instead". Rewrite in Erlang! :)

Neat! I'm surprised that I to get only get quoted round full dollar prices for Lyft, whereas Uber shows price down to the cents, e.g. $12,37. Is this a restriction of the APIs? Or does Lyft really only charge full dollar prices?

Big fan of KeePassXC ( https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc ). Works wonderfully on MacOS. I guess 1Password is a bit snazzier, but I'm really not sure what you would use $620M for in a password manager... Ma
