> Like how easy is it to selectively stage portions of files in the git CLI?

It’s not hard (`git add -p`) unless you need line-wise selection.

The main issue in my experience is that it’s completely linear so you need perfect memory and to never make any mistakes: git shows each hunk individually and tells you to make your choice before it shows the next, no take-backs.

Magit shows the entire diff and lets you jump around, and selectively unstaging is just a “d s” away.

> The risk of a banking/network error is significantly lower that way.

The risk of a banking/network error is significantly higher that way, although the risk that it affects all deposited funds is significantly lower.
So you really want to do a little bit of all. A month's worth of cash safely hidden in your home. Another in an easy-to-access account at your bank. Another in a deposit box at a different bank.

Reminds me of 1-2-3 rule for backups.
Cash is good. Anti-cash articles sometimes have the opposite effect.
Housing is expensive because there is a lot of demand. By nationalizing or similar policy forcing people to sell cheaper all you achieve is creation of a class of preferential buyers (who are allowed to buy cheaply or get housing for free from the government) while excluding others from the market altogether. Those policies just hide the demand it won't magically disappear.

Things you can do are:

-increasing supply by changing laws around zoning, allow building more/higher etc.

-introduce policies that makes it more attractive to live in less populated areas where land is cheaper (hard to say what works but maybe better/faster public transportation, more wfh, preferential tax treatment for companies that move to other areas, if enough of that happens new business/population hubs might start)

yes, your 1 year old amd is likely slower than the new m1 chip. maybe. it's also a desktop cpu using 105 watts lol. It'll burn down a laptop. the xeon in the laptop is 45W, and it can maintain 5GHz due to the big exhaust and powerful fan. it's also got an NVIDIA RTX GPU in it.

cinebench? strange, when I run that, it shows 5% CPU utilization. my GPU is maxed out though. hmm. how about you don't run a performance test on the low power integrated graphics card, and run it on the discreet gpu. oh look, that's not what those geekbench scores did.

and no lol, a compile and java code won't run faster on the m1 than a xeon. the m1 has some very specific optimizations for specific instructions to make some benchmarks fast. but you're behind 2 delusions here - thinking amd is faster than intel, is actually reliable for production, then you get your apple delusion. you're the tech version of a trump voter.
I second this observation. Last month I was looking for "webview" alternatives on Linux (with bindings in Rust, Go or Python); I wanted to create a simple chrome-less browser that allows me to override / takeover HTTP requests.

However to my astonishment, these isn't even one Gecko-based alternative. I've found a few based on WebKit (I've ended up using Qt5 in Python), a few based on Chromium (including Electron / nwjs), but zero for Gecko...

If perhaps Gecko would be easily embedable (and perhaps used less resources than Chromium), it could start appearing in other applications, and thus at least get some market-share in that segment.

Apparently, Chrome gets earlier fixes and in some cases Chromium is completely overlooked.
It's like feeding on the goldmine (chromium, which gets contributions from other developers) and building up your own with extra features.

> A lot of people find it prudent to have a buffer of cash

Cash is always more trustworthy than a bank, if you can ensure its safety. Many people during the greek "crisis" (eg. when the Greek government took money from the people to distribute to the foreign Troïka under the pretext of a misrepresented "debt") wish they had not stored their money in banks.

> 2. Crime. Sure, crime is conducted in cash

I don't have stats, but i think you'd be surprised how much of crime does not use cash. I mean sure, drug trafficking probably involves cash at all levels, but the most serious crimes committed by people in power don't. These people bank-wire funds to remote accounts, as exemplified in the Pandora (and previous) leaks.

Also worth pointing out, cash is the money of the poor. Even when you're too poor/indebted for banks to open an account for you, you can still handle cash daily to survive. Even when you have a bank account, you can usually withdraw your cash before being seized, because money seizures usually take at least a day. So, say your corrupt government/justice has indebted you to a boss/landowner for incredible sums: even if you earn your wage via bank transfer, keeping it in cash is your only option to avoid feeding the insanely-rich and eating dirt yourself.

Client<>Proxy hop has very different characteristics than Proxy<>Server hop, so you may want to use different caching strategies for each.

For example, cache on clients for a long time, because the network is slow and expensive there, but cache on the proxy server only for a short time, so that it updates from the server relatively often.

Or you may want a reverse: cache on clients only for a few seconds, because you can't purge clients' caches. But tell the proxy to cache forever, because you will manually purge its cache when something changes.

This was previously sort-of possible with max-age vs s-maxage, but other cache directives don't have two versions. Notably, stale-while-revalidate didn't work.

Stale-while-revalidate has different implications on each hop. On the client it means it's stale until the next page load, which may be undesirable. On a proxy that keeps getting hits all the time, it's only a slight propagation delay.

Neither. If you want to become wealthy - study business skills (sales, marketing, negotiation, market research, media buying, etc.) and look into starting doing something business-y as soon as possible. As a starting point it could be small-scale freelancing, such as making spokesperson or demo videos for brands, which would also help your aspiration to become an actor. Look into location-independent ways to make money online, but watch out for predatory fake gurus out there.

Be careful with your expectations to become rich in software if you have written zero lines of code (HTML doesn't count) at this point. You may hear about six-figure salaries and lamentations on the supposed developer shortage. However getting from zero lines of code to six figure SV salary (or even any kind of paid developer position) will be a significant challenge, especially if you don't have an intrinsic motivation to do technical work. Software is a bit of gold rush right now and extrinsic motivation can only take you so far when you try to practice dry-as-fuck theoretical CS puzzles in order to pass the interview, or when debugging a gnarly bug.

Lastly, employment is not that good of a way to become wealthy, as it entails making money on someone else's terms. It is in their best interest to pay you as little money as they can get away with. On the other hand, being self-employed enables you to offer your work to market on your own terms, at the price you decide. There's no upper (or lower) bound on how much you can make.
That average relative valuation is a good way to think about it. I would propose that most people don't believe in the exponential potential of individuals, so you'll find that people undervaluing the top CEOs outweigh those overvaluing them.

As for high art, like Tarkovksy, I saw the same tragic content in arthouse movies from Westrn Europe.

> In "Scheme1 realm=foo, , Scheme2 realm=foo", is the empty element an empty param for the Scheme1 challenge, or an empty challenge between the Scheme1 and Scheme2 challenges? Answer: It doesn't matter, but good luck telling your tooling that.

If it doesn't matter, it seems like the tooling would be happy if you told it "it's an empty challenge". Or "it's an empty parameter". What's stopping you?

In "1 + 2 + 3", is the parser supposed to generate (+ 1 (+ 2 3)) or (+ (+ 1 2) 3)? It doesn't matter, so you pick whichever one you want, and tell the parser to do it that way. This is a bog-standard problem to need to handle in a parser, and your tooling will definitely provide a way to handle it.

In fact just yesterday I was submitting feedback to a retailer about it's website's poor user experience, and they've said "it works best with Chrome". :)

And this is not an isolated case... Each time I've had to submit a complaint about issues encountered while using a webapp / website (including for payment systems, utility companies, local government, etc.) I often get the same response: "try it with Chrome" or "we support only Chrome".

I still remember the "works best with Internet Explorer", which then changed to "works best with Firefox", and now it seems "works best with Chrome"... :)
But since there’s no ability to share IPs between different sites without SNI, haven’t you just made things easier for censors/snoops? Instead of having to sessionize TCP and decode TLS, they can get everything they need with stateless L3 monitoring.
They're not. Here's proof:

$ unset x
$ x=1
$ env | grep '^x='

It's perfectly valid and common to create variables that aren't environment variables. Variables silently dropping off characters causes problems for these use cases. For that reason, inextricably tying normal variables to environment variables would make them less useful, not more.
you're looking at geekbench scores that do a bunch of GPU-offloaded stuff. and they used the low power integrated graphics, not the NVIDIA RTX in their tests - you have to explicitly select the discreet GPU for a process to use, as it defaults to the low power. so, something that doesn't even look like a mistake of taking the defaults - something that looks like deliberately lying to game the numbers.

Magit should be studied in computer classes. I'm from the eclipse j2ee college era. They tried heavy OO guis, none matched the ergonomics of magit. I'm still surprised to this day how lean and translucent magit feels.

Depends on what equipment used to digitise the original recordings (from records or tape) Like quality of equipment and the sample rate , what DAC is used (digital to analogue converter)

In the limited cases I have done, you need to sample at least double the sample rate of the final designed product or you get a distinctly metalic sound to the result.

Also if the final production sample rate is an exact multiple of the original sample rate you can also get odd effects coming through.

In summary it is a lot more complicated than most people realise and some conversions are quite simply horrible.

JVM has many competing implementations[1]. Also it is not used by clueless end users, but by tech workers. They will protest is JVM gets "phone home" "features" and other bloatware privacy-killing crap.

Yes, Oracle's JVM is dominant (but not on Android, which is a huge installed base). So is Chrome in browser land. Still good that Java has many, and FF exists.

I wasn't aware of the connection between volume and technological progress in semiconductor manufacturing:

“When you have volume orders, then you can do yield experiments, you can improve your yield, and yield is everything because that’s how you cover your costs,”

"Foundries that can juggle multiple clients and technologies can swiftly advance on their competitors. For example, TSMC’s scale allowed it to master extreme ultraviolet lithography faster than anyone else, which reduced the number of steps it took to make advanced chips and boosted the throughput of its fabs."
From the list here[1] it seems there is no browser on Windows using Webkit.

An authentic focusing system for 'cheap' augmented reality
Paying electronically has improved a lot in the last dozen or so years, but my typical strategy had always been to keep $50-100 of local currency in my front pocket, and then another $200 usd in my money belt (along with my passport) for a typical day.

Between food and drink, lunch, busfare etc $100 generally covered most expenses beyond tickets to events, and then $200 USD was usually enough to solve any significant problems if you miss your bus ride home or whatever. If you sprain your ankle in some castle ruins, you likely don't want to spend half the afternoon hobbling around historic cobblestone roads in a village somewhere looking for an ATM to get taxi fare back to the hotel. Taxi drivers rarely turn down USD.

That said, ATM fees internationally, depending on your card issuer, can be pretty expensive, ATM fees + forex fees can amount to over 10% if you're only pulling out $100/day. If you don't mind the risk, pulling out the maximum amount of cash per day (usually $400 I've noticed) gets total fees down to about 4%. If you're a student backpacker on a budget for weeks on end these fees can be a substantial fraction of your travel savings/budget.

Yes you are correct - I did mean that Chromium rendering technology and team would be transferred to the W3 (or equivalent) and out of Google's hands.
It recognized the need for intermediaries sure, but I don't believe it treated them as first class citizens. The idea has always been to treat them as proxies. Proxies extend/enhance the behaviour of a certain process without changing the interfaces. This particular standard changes those interfaces by treating proxy communication different to target communication.

My favourite is the "battle on the ice" sequence from Alexander Nevsky, by Eisenstein:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKZPgGbUuX0

... well because it's epic! But also because it has a kind of comic-book or perhaps theatric aesthetic. I'm talking particularly of this scene:

https://youtu.be/vKZPgGbUuX0?t=267

Where you see the Great Magisters of the Teutonic knights riding on as their oriflames pass by (edit: also, Prokoviev). The most epic scene I've watched outside of the final battle in the original Conan movie. And while you can clearly see how it was shot, that doesn't detract from how badass it all looks.

I don't think it's possible to create experiences like these with modern techniques, perhaps because the latter are so perfect they leave nothing to the imagination and the emotions of the viewer. I don't think modern audiences can even parse that kind of language anymore :(
