Yes, I completely agree. I've seen so many cool ideas out there that are largely a failure of "marketing", which is basically the fist few lines of the README.md. I always encourage junior devs to include some lines of code

I do something similar with my scripts, but have `--go` action, even on a script that requires no other options, just so that if it's run without any options, the person running it gets a message saying what the script WOULD do, if `--

Wow--that actually solves a mystery which I have been trying to figure out for a few months now! Awhile back, I was trying to Dockerize the Twint app, and ran into exactly the same problem. I ended up writing a "lite" version of

This is the comment I came here for. I bought a Kill A Watt some years ago when I wanted to get a feel for what my devices were using and can't say enough good things about it. For USB, I also recommend a USB Power Meter: https:&#x2F

I travel a couple of dozen times a year for both business and personal reasons, and I've found Evernote to be a good tool for handing travel related documentation. For each trip, I create a new notebook, and anything relating to that t

Sounds like Waffle House is to the South what Wawa is to the Philadelphia area. :-) I've only been in a Waffle House once, but did enjoy the food and the service--definitely on my list for the next time I'm down south.
