There's a lot of libraries that do the hard work for you though... Anyway, if an EKF is too much effort, you could also try the "Madgwick" filter:

did you try magit?

Maybe it is of limited use for non-emacs users, but imho it's a fantastic way to use git with a perfect balance between making simple things very easy to do and allowing (almost) anything you can do with the CLI while providing excellent visual feedback.

The Japanese keyboard layout is great for that! I am using Control on the Muhenkan and Henkan buttons left and right of the space bar and Alt on Alt and Katakana/Hiragana/Romaji buttons next to them. I also have Caps lock mapped to Control if pushed and Esc when released without another key (xcape) - works great!

It is misleading though...

Also, are they counting all previous versions of the software instead of just the latest?

Moreover, I wonder how the human drivers in the statistics fare if you correct for drunk driving / using cellphone, etc. In my opinion, any autopilot worth it's name should be an order of magnitude better than the average human driver.

While I agree with you that urxvt is a great tool, I disagree with the suggestion that the terminal is "a solved problem" (or that vim is perfection). There is a lot of room for innovation, though not necessarily in the direction that Go Terminal is going.
