Except that pedestrians face the same or greater risks than bicyclists from vehicles from higher front ends. The biggest challenge is that pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers tend to live, work, and shop in the same locations. Even with se

Looks interesting, thanks for writing and posting. I would suggest you go further and package all the branch related operations as subcommands of "gut branch". For instance, "gut branch ls" is more transparent and explic

On a related topic, I find programming or typing while wearing a watch leads relatively quickly to wrist pain due to the pressure constraints it puts on the muscles and tendons. I have tried several different watches and experienced this pr

As a person who has spent plenty of time in ICUs or other hospital floors in my life as a patient, I can add some more background to the mental health / delirium aspect. First, it definitely isn't just ICUs, just most common there

One interesting thing about the XView toolkit: it built the entire UI out of fonts (bitmap fonts at the time). It supposedly allowed faster rendering because the fonts were loaded and were server side. I actually used the low layer display

A couple of historical points I seem to remember. There were X10 versions running on SunOS (3.5?), Though I don't know if it was officially supported. X11 early releases were significantly slower than X10 on Sun hardware. SunView was o

Thanks for offering this service! You explain your API offers historic data using the "past_days" parameter. Could you also offer a "date" parameter for a given day, or are you only keeping a rolling window of data?

I didn't know about this meta-syntax, thanks - it looks very useful. I would have to think about how it fits in with the philosophy of the trailing slash sometime, but I don't want to hurt my head right now.

I get what you are saying: cp/scp should have consistent behavior when the second arg is a directory. The "problem" operation you describe is analogous to copying plain files, though (copying contents to a new name). I don&#x

I end up reposting this comment whenever rsync's slash treatment gets mentioned. rsync has "weird" syntax for a reason. Unlike other unix-like commands, it treats trailing slashes as significant AND consistently. If a directo
