Several of Heinlein's other Future History books and stories reference the rolling roads.

Attach to the same session from two terminals and change windows. In Tmux, the window changes in both terminals. It just works in Screen.

I seem to recall that to make it work in Tmux, you need two sessions with the windows attached to both.

graywhon Netflix and Hulu are Not Killing Cable

That's not the only bad math in the article.

> ... about 11% of all Americans subscribe to Netflix.

Netflix's latest numbers show 35.7 million subscribers, but the author is only giving credit for one person per Netflix subscription. With 115 million US households (http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/00000.html), that gives Netflix access to 31% of households.

Vim started as a Vi clone for the Amiga and later grew to include more features and target more systems.

graywhon Neovim

graywhon How much is time wrong around the world?

School start times, for one.

graywhon Build Git – Learn Git

This reminds me of a talk by Jim Wierich I heard years ago where he pretends to design a new vcs in order to explain how git works.

I'm not sure if a full recording can be found anywhere other than buying it from Pragmatic Programmers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBQJP6D8aGY

graywhon Git add -p

The standard git gui includes this, too.

graywhon Quick tip for developers who use OS X

ci and di aren't commands. c and d are operators and the i is part of the motion--specifically, text objects.

graywhon Bzr is dying; Emacs needs to move

In 2005, there were already some free, open-source DVCSs. Linus considered using Monotone for the Linux kernel project before deciding to start Git.

graywhon Bzr is dying; Emacs needs to move

I'm not convinced Bram actually uses hg in his normal workflow, but provides the repo as a convenience.

graywhon Target stores hit by data breach affecting 40 million cards

They gave away chip "readers" for a while. I've still gone one somewhere. I think the idea was to be able to load digital coupons (similar to other loyalty cards or Target's own "cartwheel" app now).

graywhon Gitless: an experimental version control system built on top of Git

Github released a tool called "hub" that you might be interested in.

graywhon A Tmux Crash Course (2011)

I use ctrl-_ for the tmux prefix, which is often available from ctrl-7.

graywhon A mobile friendly Vim cheat sheet

That's actually one command/operator (c) with different motions (in case, they're all text objects).

graywhon How Emacs changed my life

Because where Caps Lock is now is where Ctrl used to be: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caps_lock#Caps_lock_vs._Control...

graywhon Bash Configurations Demystified

Ubuntu uses .profile when you login via gdm (i.e., graphically).

graywhon Repository Next

ctrl-click to open in a background tab works for me, but shift-click to open in a new window does not

graywhon Seriously.js

Picture? It's a video.

graywhon What You Need To Know About The New Git 1.8.3

I'm seeing a similar problem on Ubuntu with the packages installed from the git-core PPA.

Edit: Specifically, I've got ".* .un~" and ".*.sw?" in my global excludes file, but they're showing up as untracked (not ignored) when my repo's .gitignore has some !-type patterns. Perhaps something about the precedence of such rules was changed.
