I really like the "instant" auto-completion. Can someone throw light on how it was done?

Hearing some fan noise, I immediately checked htop to see if any process is hogging the CPU. Nothing looked alarming, but turning off GDrive lowered CPU usage. I am not sure what the root cause is.

Interesting visualization, but it may be a tiny bit misleading. My first thought was that the larger the horizontal bar, the more time spent in that function, but that's not the case. Rather, it captures the number of times the function

Not many graduate students have really substantial industry experience when they start. Internships help a lot, provided the goal is to learn (and not be pressurised to publish papers even there. :)) It was probably unfortunate that you d

Another pedantic remark is that people use $1K instead of $1M to mean $1000. I think it's fine to use whatever it takes to get the message across.

Nice collection. The weird concatenation, I suspect, is a part of the grammar. It's frequently used in C code as well, when the format string is too long to fit in one line. printf("%d ... blah blah blah" "%f ...", 1, 1.2

Does it have integration with Dropbox or some other file sharing service? That, IMHO, would be a killer feature!

Good list of useful configuration options. I'd also like to add the "Compression yes" option that you can add on a per-host basis, and this could save some bytes sent over the wire. To see how much it saved, invoke with verbose ("ssh -v")

Shaping the link at the source works as long as you're the only computer along the bottleneck link. Once there are varying number of other sources competing for the bottleneck, determining the "rate" is hard (which is what congestion cont
