In German you use en-dashes with spaces, whereas in English it’s em-dashes without spaces. Some people dislike em-dashes in English though and use en-dashes with spaces as well.


In English, typically em-dashes are set without spaces or with thin spaces when used to separate appositives/parentheticals (though that style isn't universal even in professional print, there are places that aet them open, and en-dashes set open can also be used in this role); when representating an interruption, they generally have no space before but frequently have space following. And other uses have other patterns.


In British English en-dashes with spaces is more common than em-dashes without spaces, I think, but I don't have any data for that, just a general impression.

Didn't know! Woot, I win!

Why does AI have a preference for doing it differently?


git absorb works surprisingly well. I was quite skeptical in the beginning, but it really turned into something I used daily (until I switched to jj, where I haven't found a replacement yet). If you use stepwise commits I can really recommend it.

small edit: It seems that jj supports `jj absorb` now as well. Wonderful!


Indeed, though I don't think it can create fixup commits if that's what you're looking for. However, it might work great for that if you pair it with jj-spr: https://github.com/LucioFranco/jj-spr


Yes, depending on your highlighting scheme. Not every highlighting scheme shows this by default, unfortunately.

To me, this seems initially like some very minor thing, but I find this very helpful working with non-trivial code. For larger methods you can directly discern whether a not-as-immutable-declared variable behaves immutable nonetheless.


Passkeys cannot be phished.

Other than that they shouldn't have a big advantage for a more professional user with unique, long, and random passwords. For the common user it should be a great upgrade, giving all these advantages with better UX.


Another is that passkeys are single login and sites don’t use 2FA. Not having to get out TOTP or receive SMS is worth it.

Basically, any site that does 2FA should take passkeys.


You can store 2fa in a password manager except for the dumb sms-bases ones, but that's still an extra step


Password autofill also provides that protection as it won't match on phishing domain


I'd say that the basic sailing knots should fit your bill pretty well. I can't recommend an online source, but you should find plenty resources on Youtube. It shouldn't take longer than an evening or two to learn them.


Wireguard does not re-resolve dns when your dyndns ip changes. This ip change is common in parts of Europe where it usually changes daily. To circumvent this you need a jumphost or similar. This again brings additional issues when you don’t want to go through the jumphost when at home (I use nftables-magic on the router, but it’s not very nice).


It seems the EU laws for this have changed last year [1], to allow Erdbeermarmelade again.

Phew, that was close. What would we do without our Erdbeermarmelade.


That’s exactly what prefix delegation is for. Your ISP ought to give an /56 or more, so you can then have multiple /64.

I get an /56 by my ISP and have 6 or so different /64 in my residence.


ISPs do give enough where I am the issue is usually when you are behind 2 firewalls past that or have VMs that you want to DHCP, things like that.

A real world example my ISP provides /56 at the router level but if you put a firewall behind it, that gets a /64 (cannot be changed). Now the firewall cannot further delegate prefixes since it's already used. Some firewalls allow RA pass-through but in my case this wasn't an option so I had to set up NAT66 (non-standard :/) just to get outbound ipv6 connectivity.


Sadly, I've only ever gotten /60s. 16 subnets is better than zero, but it's far less than 256.


Modern CPUs are mostly limited by their energy budget/heat and smaller cores are more efficient. Also, if you have a workload scaling to, say, 8 cores chances are good that it also scales to 20+, allowing the usage of many small cores. Hence, having a few fast and then several smaller, more efficient cores should be also useful for workstations and servers.


For a networked Time Machine restore you can reinstall MacOS without restoring first and then use the migration utility to restore from a remote Time Machine. That seems to use a different smb binary which works. Still, I find it infuriating that restoring, one of the most important things you do on a machine, is broken and was not caught by QA.
