    You could probably do something like that, but it'd be a huge waste of time. The time to brew a batch is pretty much the same no matter the volume. I.E. Brewing a 5 gallon batch ta…

    The killer feature for me with ddg (as a programmer) is the ! searches for documentation: !php strstr !python os.makedirs !pypi requests !js String etc. This gives you a single sea…

    I take a similar approach. I have a dotfiles git repo in ~/dotfiles/ and have a Makefile which creates symlinks in my home directory. For example, ~/.bashrc is a symlink to ~/dotfi…

    Any numbers with leading zeroes, i.e. 0000123, excel will interpret as the integer 123 even if you change the column format to "text". It's infuriating. The only way I found to get…

    How do I combine data from multiple log files? How do I tweak my "queries" without scanning all of the data again? You get this kinds of things (joins, indexes, etc) for free from …

    Why wouldn't he just grab a knife from his kitchen? Or run them down with his car? Or a bat? Or set their house on fire? Not having a gun isn't going to stop a person who wants to …
