This idea hit me harder than I expected -- I am reminded of the scene in Interstellar, where the main character's daughter's teacher asserts that we never went to the moon. I don't recall whether she genuinely didn't be

It allows everyone in your company's dev organization share a common `standard` of JS style, which you have agreed on, even if it differs slightly in the way it bikesheds things like single-vs-double quotes or the presence of semicolon

`histappend` probaby works the way you want it to. I have about a half dozen terminals open. I want to have the current shell's history seem consistent within any shell, but I want ^R in any NEW terminal to include all the commands ent

That was my initial thought as well, but looking at it, it seems like he really takes the time to _curate_ it: rsync --rsh='ssh -p 2020 -i ~/.ssh/host.pem' --archive --human-readable --progress --verbose

Windows 10 has been spectacular on my 4k monitor; some of the software isn't (old games), but the windows experience itself seems to be nice.

My house-buying experiences were similar. Our realtor did a LOT of things that we might not have thought to do, or known to look for, or at least not in the time frame we had. Lots of sanity-hand-holding, too.

This is so well said, thank you. My own kids have their moments of driving me up the wall (every bedtime, where "brush your teeth" seems to be in a foreign language), but there are very very few things that feel even remotely as

Everything has More Detail, sometimes more than you care about. In some ways this feels like it's Not Important, except you definitely notice it, especially if your game has sliders that determine how far away they start doing detail

At one point licecap stopped working for me (MPB, using an external screen). The Giphy capture tool is also a good one. I wholeheartedly agree that including screenshots are a great way to show things :)
