What really helped me grok git was https://git-man-page-generator.lokaltog.net/ which taught me that the commands and the documentation of git really are pure nonsense, which relieved me from the feeling that I just wasn&#x

Don't bother with napkins. The data is open. TNC trips average about 150k / weekday [1], BART carries about 415k trips / weekday [2], and Muni carries about 750k [3]. Thus, public transportation carries about 8x more peopl

This is cherry-picking. It always makes more sense to take a car service when multiple people start and end at the same places and can easily coordinate (e.g. a married couple). But this tells us nothing about the average outcome. The _a
