Neat. Now where's the Glamorous toolkit?

Intended to be like "tree", usually pronounced "try".

Use your OS's package manager.

Are you saying Safari had the right idea?

Because I agree.

> Just ensure the invariant function is called at every method

You make this sound way easier than I would expect it to be in the general case.

You should literally continue reading the rest of the sentence.

Adding that to the README would be a good idea.

Quite a lot of pearl clutching going on in this comment.

Here's the quote about the street names:

> Second, I am struck by the design of the interface itself: the sci-fi overlay of street names, borders, parcel numbers, target distances, and so on.

I wonder why you thought the first sentence was necessary (I'll leave the arguments that don't actually address anything in the article alone).

Seems more to me like saying "someone should make an rsync that's more like Dropbox".

Since I just re-watched it: he ran it on a P4 from 2003.
