[OC] Meanwhile.. in San Jose, California

Reply in thread

Gas prices in the US are in $/gal, so $6.19 per gallon. Some signs just don't include the decimal.

I understand your confusion... I went to Canada for the first time recently and their prices are cents per liter, but (much like American prices) that's not actually indicated anywhere.

The power of sudo compels you!

# indicates a comment in shell scripts, it's interpreted the same way on a command line. That's why it's doing nothing. In this case, the # isn't part of the command though. It's to indicate that it's a root shell. You'd see $ for a regular not-root shell. It's part of that bit of text with your username, hostname, and current directory (with most default shell configurations, look up the PS1 Bash variable) that comes before the command you're typing.

Do you use vim?

Yes! With a few plugins, of course. YouCompleteMe and fzf.vim are my favorites by far. I spend a lot of time on embedded Linux devices at work, so it's pretty convenient to use the same editor on my laptop and on the target device.
