grep <file -opts 'regex'

Being actually different is one of the few things that gives someone a reason to look twice at the new system.

Youtube-dl and awk to grep out of a YouTube channel.

If I were doing it again I would use youtube-dl -o to just print the base64, instead of "manually" renaming it to that with ls>awk:mv>sh.

Brian Kernighan's COS333 page links to a goodui.org that recommends animations (in moderation) but also a bunch of horrible stuff.

So there's that.

I'm at this point in life too, so I didn't really say "everyone should own a car".

A free market includes the freedom to choose the Uber option (given that someone is offering that choice), and private provision of a good means supply is likely to match demand. I'm not against car-sharing - but in the utopian, /r/futurology sort of version of it I sense there are undertones of thinking we'll all be "free" when it's all communal and we don't have property and ownership, plus there's that whole zero-sum view of wealth and prosperity thing.

This "communism will be great when it's Star Trek-type communism" thing is fabulous propaganda. It might not be deliberate or conspiratorial, so propaganda might not be the best word, but that's nearly worse in a way.

If it happens that some children want to remain in childhood, I suppose a possible explanation is that there could be an allegory-of-the-cave effect. I think most people like making their own decisions until adult interference gets to the point of making them worse at it.
