"Different Seasons" is my favourite collection, and out of the 4 total stories in it, 3 became movies (The Body became Stand By Me, Apt Pupil, and The Shawshank Redemption). Can't recommend this collection highly enough.

> Well, they're three times the price. That's a bit hard to swallow, honestly.

Exactly, people keep bringing up Garmin as a replacement but I don't think it is. I was into Pebble for the open C API and price, which did everything I wanted. The Pebble 2 was at the limit of what I would ever pay for a smartwatch, Garmin I just won't consider as I only want a few features.

I'm sad that it is almost certain that the Pebble/fitbit blend that we will see in the future will be completely closed/proprietary which definitely doesn't help me "make awesome happen".

> Oh my goodness - it never occurred to me that a library could be scary

Me neither (probably doesn't help that I'm a trained librarian). I love walking into messy used bookstores too, where the books are piled precariously high and and stuff everywhere. I wonder if there's a 'used-book store anxiety'?

He should've put left_pad.py in a folder with an __init__.py to make it a proper package ;)

And the rm -rf / joke ;)

I like to use:

    git push -u origin master

So then the next time all I need to do is:

    git push

If you have the cursor just before the area you could do: 'dt)' meaning delete to next ), or 'ct)' to delete until next ) and the drop into insert mode. Learning word objects in Vim for me is one of the killer features, and one thing I miss in Emacs.
