I'm a well constructed system, you could probably get this down to one PostGIS query with some joins and spacial indexes that should run in <100ms.

Was seeing how far I had to scroll to find this perfect quote. How long before all the required readings are banned? I don't understand how you could run a philosophy course without immediately offending someone at this rate.

Just fair warning. 99% of the time, ncdu is great at intuitively finding what is taking up space. Know that unlinked, but in-use files still take up "physical" disk space. Be weary on machines that have not been restarted I'm

A lot of the time, I ask myself, "why don't we seem to have a tool with robust source-to-source transformation?" You could call it "cross-language refactoring". I wouldn't be surprised if someone with the code-
