Jokes aside, this is actually a very interesting study. We all know that physical characteristics are developed specifically by different activities (endurance for runners, strength for weightlifters). But I think most people would think this is due to local effects at the level of the muscle or specific neural circuits for different movements. This study suggests that a more general physical adaptation is at play, since the tongue isn't involved in running or weightlifting.

I like the idea here, but see one significant problem that will prevent me from using these aliases. The git publish alias doesn't take a branch name, so if you have multiple remotes for the repository it will just publish to one of them. Which one? Well, the code in legit/scm.py reads

return repo.git.execute([git, 'push', repo.remotes[0].name, branch])

so it just pushes to whichever remote is first in its array. What if I want to publish to a second remote?

I am a graduate student in a math-heavy field, so I thought you might be interested in some feedback. Just yesterday, I was embedding LaTex-derived images into an HTML email in order to collaborate, and I thought: this is just so stupid. Your service definitely fills a need in the research community. I love it. What is the envisioned freemium model? A problem I can see is that very few users would need more than the service you are already offering.
