Updating a cell in Excel is a CPU round trip, whereas updating a cell in Sheets is a network round trip. An operation that touches as few as 1000 lines (e.g. autofill a large range, change a value that feeds into many cells) incurs many seconds of latency as it's fed through the cloud and the new cell data is refreshed. The more rows you have, the slower the response time.

By default the key bindings are cmd+ctrl+opt+{h,j,k,l} to move windows around left/down/up/right respectively.

You can actually search for ' -l' (two spaces in front) and abuse the man layout engine to find the point at which the flag itself is defined. Makes the man pages a lot more useful in my opinion.

I don't know where this was when I was searching for alternatives to vimperator, but thanks so much for mentioning vim-vixen. It seems like it's just a port of the parts of vimperator that still work with WebExtensions but it's so much better than the alternatives out there at the moment.

You might not know this, but you don't need to go through the Preferences panel. You can use the `say` command from the command line, which uses the same engine, but you can pipe text to it. For example, to dictate whatever's on the clipboard,

    pbpaste | say

Looks like some of your text got a little mutilated by the pseudo-markdown parser; perhaps copying that into a gist or paste would be better? I'm really curious what some of what you've copied does.

A more relevant point that would disqualify Haskell is the fact that its runtime (or rather, the GHC's runtime) is nowhere near predictable enough for the realtime guarantees that time synchronisation software would require.

A Haskell DSL that outputs some safer low-level code would be a more likely choice (for example http://hackage.haskell.org/package/atom), but Rust is both more popular and has more commercial support.

It's possible your shell has some kind of regular expression magic enabled that is eating the '?' and the '=' characters:

  $ echo youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbKJt1NQtZE
  zsh: no matches found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbKJt1NQtZE
