I reloaded MacOS, restored my home directory from backup, and was surprised to learn that I have 3e5 files. Most of the bulk is music, but that’s only 7e3 files. Is there a tool analogous to du that gives the number of files in each directory, rather than their aggregate size? —Later: When Apple Mail imported my Thunderbird archives, it made huge numbers of files, but I don’t know yet whether they’re enough to answer the question.
In other news, the medical jargon specimen of the week:
Infant is status post a negative rule out sepsis workup . . .
I guess that means sepsis was ruled out, rather than that it was not ruled out. The weird thing is that “rule out sepsis” is often listed as a diagnosis rather than a procedure.
Perry suggested
find . -type f -print | wc -l, which is less convenient than I hoped, but still — I find that throwing out those Mail files brought the count down to 1e5, and almost a third of that is the source forgcc 4.1.2.
