This is nice ! I like that you have kept the polyglot world in mind.

You should consider adding: 1) configurability in terms of name ( a templating engine might help ) 2) generate functional build files


And probably keep the project language agnostic, by letting the user specify the content of functional build files.


I do not buy the "No side mirrors" argument, because what you'll also see written on the back of these trucks is "Use dipper at night", that is, do not use high beam cause the when reflected from the side mirrors, it blocks your vision.


I think similar messages used to be printed on the back of government owned buses in the state of Rajasthan !


I have had similar observations about chaotic driving, people are cautious. At place where I live in India at present, one can actually cross roads walking slowly ( The traffic will just go around you )

I do not think there's much truth in "No side mirrors" argument though, I have seen some very old trucks and buses here in India, and cannot recall any missing mirrors.

Infact, the general convention in India for overtaking a truck is to flash highbeam light, turn on the indicator to highlight the edge of your car and overtake.


A really good example to showcase the capability of the technology !

In context of India, where news channels have reneged from due diligence on evidently doctored videos, this is something which can have huge consequences.


Pardon me if I sound dumb, but going by the abstract, this is essentially concolic analysis of smart contracts ?

It is classifying me as a bot with 94.6% probability. Does it give too much emphasis on retweets ?


False positives are usually due to high number of retweets and. . . uh. . . check your followers. You may have a lot of bots following you or you may be following a lot of bots.


classified me as a bot, with 4 original, handwritten tweets.


On similar lines, I very recently discovered the combination of emacs + Artist Mode + ditaa for creating diagrams, and the experience has been pretty good so far too.


Oh yeah, this combo is actually one of the better modes in Emac-land. Whenever I see yet another ASCII art link posted here, I just gaggle cos Artist mode is that good.


Like many emacs things, there more than one. There's also picture-mode. I haven't used either very much, but my sense is that artist-mode is more mouse-oriented and possibly supports more sophisticated drawings but picture-mode may work better in terminals.


It is a really good font, however, it just doesn't work for me on terminal & terminal based applications. Somehow I find that there is too little spacing between the lines.


There's one and only font that truly "works" in terminals IMO, and that's the classic VGA 8x16.

I'm a fellow user of the VGA font in terminals, it's just so satisfying to use! On text editors I use the default font, though


Many terminals have an option to add space between lines.
