"As I remember London": https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64

aslatter··on Start all of your commands with a comma (2009)
I didn't invent this, but I have a headless "config" checkout, and have a git-alias which sets my home-directory as the work-tree:

   git init --bare $HOME/.config/repo
   alias config='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.config/repo --work-tree=$HOME'
   config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
Then I can do things like "config add", "config commit", and "config push".

m (since glibc 2.3)

Attempt to access the file using mmap(2), rather than I/O system calls (read(2), write(2)). Currently, use of mmap(2) is attempted only for a file opened for reading.

aslatter··on Emotionless chatbots are taking over customer service
I was able to down-grade my subscription over email, which isn't as good as an on-line form, but better than a phone-call.
