I use `mkdir -p DIRECTORY_NAME && cd $_` in bash which is not as concise but still DRY.
aslushnikov | 3 years ago | on: How to Do a Handstand
I learned handstands at a circus school and this tutorial indeed looks very similar to what we where doing.
The article also suggests a belly-to-wall handstands at some point, which (according to my teachers) is a much better exercise for a proper handstand then a back-to-wall handstands.
Two things that help me practice these days:
- voice-controlled timer to keep track of handstand time: https://timeless.aslushnikov.com/ (I didn’t find any readily available so hacked my own)
- facebook’s “Handstands Anonymous” group to boost motivation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/handstandsanonymous/?ref=sha...

This reminds me about Stanislav Kurilov [1], who successfully escaped USSR by jumping off the cruise ship with a snorkeling mask and swimming for the following 2.5 days towards Philippines.
He wrote an interesting book called "Alone In The Ocean" [2] where he described his endeavor.

There's a "Coverage Support" experiment in Chrome DevTools which does css + js coverage in a way you describe it. The CSS part was shown on Chrome DevSummit 2016 [1]

IMO.im
Back in the days, when the service unified different messengers in a single web interface, also providing a handy history search.

Also, I would appreciate if the word & its description is automatically pronounced (or maybe there's a setting to do so). This way I would be able to train audio perception, which is oftentimes challenging with French.
Right now, clicking the "speaker" icon speaks out the word, not definition, and also steals focus from the input field.
