Draw a square around Einstein's face. Call the side length of the square a and the area of the square A. We have A=a^2. Einstein takes up some portion p < 1 of that area, so Einstein has area E = pA. Now we scale the whole thing by factor f. So the new square has side lengths fa, and thus area A' = (fa)^2 = f^2×a^2 = f^2×A. Since the relative portion the face takes up doesn't change with scaling, the face now has size pA' = p×f^2×A = f^2 × pA = f^2 E.

Does that help or was that not the part you were missing?

No, that part is fine: I'm happy with the fact that it works with arbitrary shapes. What bothers me is that the area on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas on the other two sides, when the triangle has a right angle.

This somewhat like saying that I'm troubled by the fact that 1+1=2, I know. But that's a potentially distracting sidetrack, let's not get into that one.

Note that the official 7z build supports zstd compression since version 24: https://github.com/ip7z/7zip/releases/tag/24.05

Only decompression, not compression.

What are these called / do you have a source for that? I never heard of that and a quick Google didn't turn up anything except for changes planned for 2028.

I really like this video essay that also covers convict leasing: https://youtu.be/j4kI2h3iotA?si=9-VanyLpw1rJLLUI

Which old times are you referring to / what are "sensible" names?

I thought about it and I don't know what a better name would be. Off the top of my Head, I know Perforce, BitWarden, Subversion, fossil and git. And then the abbreviations CVS, RCS and SVN.

Do any of these qualify as a descriptive name?

As a British national I like to think git is a very descriptive name, because git is a git to use and understand.

For a US southerner it works too. We can use the tool to 'git' our code.

I don't just mean version control systems, but since you mentioned them: CVS (concurrent version system), rcs (revision control system) and subversion all seem fairly descriptive to me?

At one point in my career, I used Microsoft SourceSafe, which is a pretty descriptive name. Seems like the exception here, though.

You probably mean BitKeeper. BitWarden is a password / secrets manager.

You deliberately misquoted the article, you are clearly not discussing in good faith. I won't respond any further.

“Extremely” is an undefinable crutch word used to make an otherwise orwellian argument seem somehow humane. The second bit was quoted as stands.

It's because of the headlights - they bias right and would blind oncoming traffic.

That may be the reason in other countries, but parent-poster talks about an intersection in California, and as far as I can tell US regulations require symmetric (unbiased) low-beams, and high-beams are usually symmetric everywhere.

If you replace checkout with switch/restore, that foot gun goes away.
