    It doesn't really hurt in practice because it's only one part of the full backup procedure. Deduplicate to save space; re-duplicate the (smaller) backups to separate media for redu…

    If you squint hard enough, this is really a pretty similar idea to Polkit [0] but with a much simpler communication layer. [0]: https://polkit.pages.freedesktop.org/polkit/

    > All these named reset types could just be two separate reset commands, both pointing to a commit, one resetting the files on disk, one resetting the index. It sounds to me like y…

    For the compiler in particular, it's pretty common practice to depend on a recent version. The backward compatibility situation is generally excellent, so the only real challenge i…

    With the right workspace mapping, you can pull in just part of the depot, which makes the repo size a lot more manageable.

    The Unison programming language is built around that idea: https://www.unison-lang.org/docs/the-big-idea/

    YMMV, naturally, but I've found that some embedded devices have really excellent hardware abstraction layers in Rust that wrap the majority of the device's functionality in an effe…

    Well, for one thing, classic Outlook's HTML rendering engine (to the extent it's even an "HTML" rendering engine instead of a Word document rendering engine) has some fairly radica…

    The file contents are logically distinct blobs. Packfiles will aggregate and delta-compress similar blobs, but that's all at a lower level than the logical model.

    Especially with Vue 3, most of the reactive state management you need for all but the largest and most complex of apps is built right into the core. Vuex and Pinia really aren't ne…

    OpenSSL does provide a callback mechanism to allow for key logging, but the application does have to opt in. IIRC, at least Curl does support it by default.

    I've found MDN and the Rust programming language docs to be pretty solid.

    I've found Nushell ( https://www.nushell.sh/ ) to be really handy for ad-hoc data manipulation (and a decent enough general-purpose shell).

    `git range-diff` can be handy for the reviewer when trying to "recover from" a mid-review force-push.

    I've got both a Metropolitan and a Prera, and I can second (third?) this recommendation. Fantastic pens.

    For the specific use case you're describing, I've found `git worktree` to be very useful. Overall, at least when it comes to features, I've actually had the opposite experience. Th…

    Shallow/sparse clones help with some of the pain points there, at least around time to clone and local repo size.

    At least by Wikipedia's chosen sources [0], the attempted assassination of Gov. Boggs was linked, via circumstantial evidence, to Joseph's bodyguard, Porter Rockwell (who, even wit…

    At least for (unlocked) flake sources, you could probably use a branch naming convention instead of a separate database, although that requires your repo to be set up a specific wa…

    In my experience, this often indicates a poorly-fitting cut. If your belt naturally sits below your hips, you'll probably want jeans specifically designed for that.

    Sure, in many cases. Depending on the situation, though, it may be no more hassle than any other USB GPIO device, so it's a decent enough cheap solution if you can't or don't want …
