Socks are not getting lost; they are getting compacted to keep the context window small.

In the soccer world, there is the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS), that decides several rankings and awards that are regularly cited in traditional media. For example, if a player from my not-quite-football-powerhouse country makes the "best 100 goalkeepers" list or whatever, it'll be on the news.

Turns out the IFFHS was just one guy in Germany during the 80s that leveraged his contacts in news agencies to establish his brand as a reputable source.

Note that it's not a European thing. It's how most football leagues around the world work.

Of course. It's distributed.

Just like that place that's so crowded nobody goes there anymore.

Example of replacing grep+cut with a single awk invokation:

    $ echo token:abc:def | grep -E ^token | cut -d: -f2
    abc
    
    $ echo token:abc:def | awk -F: '/^token/ { print $2 }'
    abc
Conditions don't have to be regular expressions. For example:

    $ echo $CSV
    foo:24
    bar:15
    baz:49
    
    $ echo $CSV | awk -F: '$2 > 20 { print $1 }'
    foo
    baz

I use dtrx, which also ensures that all files are extracted into a folder.

Python also pretty-prints out of the box:

    $ echo '{ "hello": "world" }' | python3 -m json.tool
    {
        "hello": "world"
    }

> I have always wondered what would happen if someone had to invent spreadsheets from scratch, today.

This is exactly what Joel Spolsky did:

> What was I talking about? Oh yeah… most people just used Excel to make lists. Suddenly we understood why Lotus Improv, which was this fancy futuristic spreadsheet that was going to make Excel obsolete, had failed completely: because it was great at calculations, but terrible at creating tables, and everyone was using Excel for tables, not calculations.

... so he went on and created Trello.

Reminds me when Scala was translated to German some time ago, at about the same time of the year:
