Geekery in Meme Form

This is one of the geekier memes I’ve seen, but I really like it. You’ll know what it means if it applies to you:

will@ebene:~$ history|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf "%5d\t%s\n",a[i],i}}'|sort -rn|head
  169   fg
  138   make
   35   emacs
   29   svn
   26   cd
   24   ls
   20   for
   15   rm
    7   R
    6   mv

I found it from a fellow named Killus. I’ve been wandering the archive from his blog for a bit and I like the simple-but-complete math explanations theme. There’s quite a bit of neat stuff, but I’ll just mention a post on working for WRPI where, he argues (as a side note) that music recommenders will deviate from the public opinion simply by virtue of being so deeply involved in it.

I’ve got a note on that, but I’ll put it into another post to not melange these ideas.
