Why did you opt for "highly-abbreviated commit IDs"? Instead of: ``` calendar/seasons.blog 196 40 d1 196 196e749 40 40c52f4 d1 d142598 ``` The tool should simply display: ``` calen…

In fact, NAND gates are enough to build a Turing complete machine. ;-)

st - simple statistics from the command line https://github.com/nferraz/st

Nice! They definitely overlap, although there are a few differences... I'm not sure if ministat accepts bignum, scientific notation, etc.

Yes, Sprint suggested this: octave -q --eval "mean = mean(load('$1'))" But, again, octave requires more time to warm up...

Yup, octave requires more time to warm up. Regarding speed, for simple calculations like sum, mean and variance, the bottleneck is in I/O.

There isn't a max rowcount for sum, mean, variance, etc, because it is not necessary to hold the data in memory. The calculation of median and quartiles require that the whole set …

Thanks! I changed the algorithm to online variance, hope it is more stable: https://github.com/nferraz/st/commit/d0fb1bf814fc5940c5aae39...

Thanks for the information! I wanted to use "stat", but it was already used (display file status); "statistics" was too big. Just as curiosity, I got the idea for this script when …

I like octave and R! The reason I wrote this script was to get quick results from the command line. For instance: I could use grep, cut and other unix tools to get the numbers from…

Super cool project! Thanks for sharing!!!
