I wish that Opera Omnia, also by Stephen Lavelle, got more attention. It is mind-blowing exploration of the idea of propaganda and revisionist history, which somehow also manages to be engaging and fun, with an incredibly unique core mechanic.

It would be hilarious if people wound up snorting or boofing their GLP-1s (≧▽≦)

The best example of managing expectations of all time is in the Time Zone Database documentation:

> The tz database predicts future timestamps, and current predictions will be incorrect after future governments change the rules.

General-purpose deduplication sounds good in theory but tends not to work out in practice. IPFS uses a rolling hash with variable-sized pieces, in an attempt to deduplicate data rysnc-style. However, in practice, it doesn't actually make a difference, and adds complexity for no reason.

This is stupid good advice. I use quicksilver as a launcher, and by putting bookmarks in a folder, I can index them and launch them like any other app or document on disk. Thanks for writing this up!

I definitely don't think Just will ever unseat Make. Just doesn't have file-based dependencies, so it's not a build system, just a command runner.

As far as unseating Make as a command runner, I think that might just take Just being available in more places, since one of the main advantages of Make that many users cite is that it's available everywhere. Just is already available in a lot of package repos, but not all of them. Finally packaging Just for Debian[0] would help a lot.
