I recently found LosslessCut (https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut) that is basically a GUI for ffmpeg, you can make simple edits without re-encoding the stream.

git blame shows only who made the last change. Maybe that person only changed the name of a variable, applied a codestyle change, moved a function declaration to another file or many other things that the change was almost irrelevant to the code behavior.

There are a few options that help you out with this:

-M Detect moved or copied lines within a file

-C In addition to -M, detect lines moved or copied from other files that were modified in the same commit.

--ignore-rev Ignore changes made by the revision when assigning blame, as if the change never happened

--ignore-revs-file Ignore revisions listed in file

They don't wear helmets because they aren't zooming around like Lance Armstrong. The risk of accidents with head injuries a helmet would help against is limited. Same thing why you don't wear a helmet when you go by car although an occupants risk of head injuries in a typical accident is comparable.

Amphetamines aren't psychedelics. Like nicotine or caffeine they increase performance.

He doesn't say it was written while high. He is wondering if H knew the effects of psychedelics and maybe tried to replicate the feeling in the reader.

The guy who knows where it is stored, or who knows what is stored on "that hard drive", leaves the company.
