I think you use Dvorak and mistyped "no" as "ne" and your phone auto-corrected it to "me". Am I right?
Same here. I was thinking about how many CD-ROMs it would take to store a certain amount of information, as a measure of just how much data something amounted to. Then I thought that with microSD cards, the same amount of data would sound much less impressive.
sudo sh -c 'blah blah blah >> file'
but I don't like it when I have to do that.If you do not include the hash of application.js in its filename then I think the main problem is whoever decided to use hashes for some scripts but not for others.
That being said, I don't use gulp and all that stuff. It seems to me that some people get so caught up in technology that they
1) Reinvent the wheel a million times. I admit that make has its short comings but I think a similarly general build tool is the way to go. Look into tup, they know what's up.
2) Don't notice that they are sitting atop a tower of abstractions and that their tower is starting to become unstable.
3) Are pulling in massive amounts of scripts as dependencies to build something that could've been implemented with little to no scripting at all, and with their high bandwith workstations and latest computers and devices they don't notice the fact that while they are trying to reduce load times (which by itself is a worthy goal) the browsers of their visitors are crashing because rendering these websites take more ram than is available on many devices. Jesus, fuck!
So that was a bit of a rant. Sorry about that, I guess.
I've thought a bit about this before and came to think, what if humanity disappeared and only our creations were left and they were discovered by an alien species but to them it would just look like the way we see the colonies of ants, the shell of shell fish, etc., that is to say just a pile of matter organized for housing, and the aliens were unable to percieve the fact that we have encoded vast amounts of knowledge in our artifacts. That would've been quite a cosmic tragedy.
These are the sort of things which encourage readers to read on :)

One reason for having an orange one is it's easier to spot when it's time to unplug.
So first of all, I have a bash function declared in my bashrc which takes one argument -- the domain -- and sets a few evironment variables such as GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL and GIT_COMMITER_EMAIL.
Next I have one two-letter alias and three three-letter aliases which all cd to their respective paths and call the function to set the env vars.
Finally, I have two-letter aliases to git add, git diff, git commit, git push and so on.
Dead simple and works great. All I need is my bashrc.
