There's also

  git stash -p
:)


    the performance degrades to a point where it'll be too 
    slow to do anything
Do you have any examples? In my experience, Redis is pretty fast even when it lives partially in VM.

You can get boxes with a ton of RAM these, days, though, and if you go beyond it, you can always shard/distribute the database, like you mention.


But why do that anonymously?


Obviously, so that you'll survive when someone writes an app that uses the Twitter API to communicate with the Blackwater Mercenary API to kill everyone who unfollows you with a snarky message. Of course, it will all fall apart when Google buys them out in a high-profile acquisition, and one of their engineers accidentally adds "walled garden" to the snark detection heuristic, which results in Facebook inadvertently putting a hit out on every single open source developer on the planet due to a mass simultaneous unfollowing in the aftermath of yet another content privacy maelstrom.

Or... I dunno. It's kinda awkward, I guess. Sometimes.

If you're diligent to

  ls cool_stuff
before changing directories, it's less of an issue. And `rm -fr /' is less likely than `rm -fr ~', since most people don't need root access to call `ls'.

But still, I don't add '.' to my path because the only time I directly reference files in my current directory, it's because of a Zsh suffix alias.


That's an apocryphal story, though. QWERTY was said to have been invented, actually, to make it easier for typewriter salesmen to type "TYPEWRITER", all from the top row.

What are the rules re: reposts of vias?


    Using deodorant does not have an effect on hygiene.
    Hygiene is about being clean; deodorant is about being
    dirty and not smelling like you are.
Many deodorants do fight bacteria to an extent, and if you use an unscented stick, you'll still sweat your own scent without the bacterial funk.


From the article:

    Some [...] are concerned about antiperspirants containing 
    aluminum, even though both the National Cancer Institute 
    and the Alzheimer’s Association don’t share those 
    concerns.
Antiperspirants are better avoided for the damage they do clothing than the damage they do the brain.


I'd rather be safe personally since there's little downside. just because it hasn't been recognized as a risk by some groups doesn't mean eventually become clear that its a risk. I don't need to have the same standard of proof that they do or any at all when I decide to steer clear of something that some day might turn out to be a risk.
