Git does not use sparse files no, however in packs objects are delta-ified: any object can be either literal or a combination of literal segments and range copies from a base object, and that base object can be the same, recursively. So to

(2) has a bit more nuance to it: you can close channels… but the langage is designed for that to only be ok on single senders, a receiver can gracefully handle a closed channel (an iteration will just stop, a receive can use the 2-valued fo

Getting to that is one of the reasons why people would kinda just grow apple seeds all over. Plus they were not completely wasted, while not generally edible they’re fine for cider.

Heterozygosity and self-incompatibility are common to fruit trees in general, not specific to apples. I think ancestral citruses (not the crosses) are the primary exception, as well as a few citrus hybrids which create clone seeds asexually

Not relevant to comparing clones and worktrees, both create a fresh working copy from the repository data, and object store files are not modified in place (or at all really).

I’ve used a bunch where the shower head is on a hose not fixed to the wall. Usually with a two-way faucet. The biggest issue in the west is the room being wet to start with.

They don’t use less disk space as long as you account for that correctly: clones within a file system use hardlinks for the object store, so if you du on a clone it’ll be however many megs / gigs S but if you do that encompassing n suc

You could try proposing a worktree copy command on the mailing list. Worktrees are currently independent and work off of repositories which may have no existing worktree / working copy at all, let alone one it makes sense to start from

Makes sense. Whatever generates those site maps should use the classic Unix trick of writing a separate file then renaming. Also maybe don’t update lastmods on each individual update, it’s a waste of resources since the granularity of lastm

They do, but it does not take much for economic pressure to make one seemingly small change with wide ramifications e.g. a plant or two which are not economically viable, get substituted, and turn out to be critical, then leading to chronic

I would hazard the guess that that’s perfectly fine. Desirable even. People who run scratch or alpine images and link against musl aren’t usually looking to write desktop applications or video games.

It's not really disputed since musl without mimalloc has a 144% overhead, so most of the performance issues do indeed come from the allocator, by a pretty large margin (~85% of it). Not only that, but some of the "other code&q

Musl's allocator being awful is pretty well known, though mostly in that it's absolutely awful in multithreaded context. TFA points out that musl has a bunch of other noticeably slower functions, which is less well known (though t

It is not very hard, but it is additional complexity, and it then requires the language to have a way to opt out so you can handle things like FFI or explicit ordering (usually for padding to avoid false sharing and friends). So most langua

Rust does that automatically unless you switch to the C layout. In langages that don’t there’s a tension between memory use and human readability / consistency of the layout. There are also other domains which can be affected e.g. data

Timescale is the important bit. If organisms degrade plastics in a few hundred years then what plastics are uniquely valuable for will be quite fine indeed.

You could have a CO which emits overridable warnings or requires additional / specific reviewers. Of course that can then lead to warnings fatigue so it’s not necessarily a big improvement, or an improvement at all, in the long run, de

I’d assume it’s the display manager dimming sdr content to have sufficient brightness range for hdr content.
