Re: Chmod -x chmod
#3It might be an interesting topic, but wouldn't it be better if reformatted into a single page of text (there's what, 300 words there?) rather than 49 slides?

People seem to be more and more fixated on the "one thing per rapidly changing slide" style of presentation nowadays. I can certainly see the advantages of having only one thing in your audience's mind at a time as you blab--they're more focused, and the rapidly changing slides fits better with modern attention spans. But it definitely kills the utility of the slides on their own.
For an even more difficult to follow slide deck see the git tricks presentation currently on the frontpage. 328 slides!

Probably in part due to things like SlideShare, where you can't read squat unless it's big, or you go into full-screen.
In any case, I prefer it to wall-o-text styles, where the presenter has their notecards in the ppt and just reads off the screen.

Looks like it was Lawrence Lessig who first brought the method into our community (technically inclined content aficionados) with his lectures.

People may be fixated on the "one thing per rapidly changing slide" style of presentation nowadays, but I don't know anybody who is fixated on the "one thing per rapidly changing slide" style of reading.

If you're producing the slides for a live audience, this style is superior. People can read faster than you can talk, so if what you're saying is all packed onto the slides it creates a bad audience dynamic.
If, OTOH, the slide you're producing are intended to be read, denser, more informational slides are appropriate.
As with most things in life, what to do depends on who your audience is.

cp sh chmod.new
cp chmod chmod.new
