title: VFS for Git
href: https://github.com/microsoft/VFSForGit?ref=blog.gitbutler.com
type: markdown
snippet:
  The first solution to this problem was a new project called [VFS for Git](https://github.com/microsoft/VFSForGit?ref=blog.gitbutler.com) which was a virtual filesystem layer that did virtual checkouts and then requested files from a central server on demand.


title: Scalar
href: https://github.com/microsoft/scalar?ref=blog.gitbutler.com
type: markdown
snippet:
  Eventually they moved more and more of the solutions they developed to the [Scalar](https://github.com/microsoft/scalar?ref=blog.gitbutler.com) project, which got rid of the virtualization layer, and would instead request file contents on checkout rather than on demand.


title: Microsoft Git
href: https://github.com/microsoft/git?ref=blog.gitbutler.com
type: markdown
snippet:
  Then they moved everything, piece by piece, into the [Microsoft Git](https://github.com/microsoft/git?ref=blog.gitbutler.com) fork and then finally every part of _that_ was moved into [core Git](https://git-scm.com/docs/scalar?ref=blog.gitbutler.com).

  Here's a benchmark of some log related subcommands run on the Linux kernel codebase with and without the commit graph data (from the [GitHub blog](https://github.blog/2022-08-30-gits-database-internals-ii-commit-history-queries/?ref=blog.gitbutler.com#the-commit-graph))


title: fsmonitor-daemon
href: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-fsmonitor--daemon?ref=blog.gitbutler.com
type: markdown
snippet:
  What this will do is add a setting that the `git status` command will see when it runs, indicating that it should be using the [fsmonitor-daemon](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-fsmonitor--daemon?ref=blog.gitbutler.com). If this daemon is not running, it will start it.


title: Linux
href: https://github.com/torvalds/linux?ref=blog.gitbutler.com
type: markdown
snippet:
  Another big issue with large repositories is clone size. As you probably know, by default Git will fetch everything. You don't even need to have a 300GB repository for this to be a problem. [Linux](https://github.com/torvalds/linux?ref=blog.gitbutler.com) is over 4GB, [Chromium](https://github.com/chromium/chromium?ref=blog.gitbutler.com) is over 20GB. A full Chromium clone can easily take an hour, even over a pretty fast connection.

title: urgent but not important

type: markdown
snippet:
  Shallow work is the busy work that’s [urgent but not important](https://todoist.com/productivity-methods/eisenhower-matrix) to achieving your long-term goals — think paperwork or responding to (most) emails. When you time box shallow work, you’re setting clear limits on how much time you’ll dedicate to it. Plus, grouping similar tasks together reduces the cost of context switching. By batching all of your shallow tasks together in a dedicated time block or two, you’ll be able to power through them more efficiently and protect the rest of your workday for higher-impact work.

  Most people are bad at time management. We are [terrible at estimating](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planning%5Ffallacy) how much time tasks will take, and we have a tendency to [overcommit our future selves](https://doist.com/blog/neuroscience-achieving-long-term-goals/?itm%5Fcampaign=time%5Fblocking&itm%5Fmedium=referral&itm%5Fsource=productivity%5Fmethods%5Fguides). Time blocking forces you to confront your current priorities and commitments and get intentional about how you spend your finite time. For each new commitment you let into your life, you’re forced to find physical space on your calendar. As a result, the opportunity cost of saying “yes” becomes more concrete, and it becomes much easier to [say “no](https://doist.com/blog/how-to-say-no/?itm%5Fcampaign=time%5Fblocking&itm%5Fmedium=referral&itm%5Fsource=productivity%5Fmethods%5Fguides).”

snippet:
  ==Un diagrama de flujo es un diagrama que describe un proceso, sistema o algoritmo informático.== Se usan ampliamente en numerosos campos para documentar, estudiar, planificar, mejorar y comunicar procesos que suelen ser complejos en diagramas claros y fáciles de comprender. Los diagramas de flujo emplean rectángulos, óvalos, diamantes y otras numerosas figuras para definir el tipo de paso, junto con flechas conectoras que establecen el flujo y la secuencia. Pueden variar desde diagramas simples y dibujados a mano hasta diagramas exhaustivos creados por computadora que describen múltiples pasos y rutas. Si tomamos en cuenta todas las diversas figuras de los diagramas de flujo, son uno de los diagramas más comunes del mundo, usados por personas con y sin conocimiento técnico en una variedad de campos. Los diagramas de flujo a veces se denominan con nombres más especializados, como "diagrama de flujo de procesos", "mapa de procesos", "diagrama de flujo funcional", "mapa de procesos de negocios", "notación y modelado de procesos de negocio (BPMN)" o "diagrama de flujo de procesos (PFD)". Están relacionados con otros diagramas populares, como los diagramas de [flujo de datos](https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/es/diagrama-de-flujo-de-datos) (DFD) y los diagramas de actividad de lenguaje unificado de modelado (UML).

As [described by the Rockwood Leadership Institute](https://rockwoodleadership.org/nonprofit-four-day-workweek-can-take-care-still-change-world/#:~:text=personal%20ecology%3A%20maintaining%20balance%2C%20pacing%20and%20efficiency%20to%20sustain%20your%20energy%20over%20a%20lifetime%20of%20activism), it involves “**maintaining balance, pacing, and efficiency to sustain our energy over a lifetime**.” This framed our conversations, helping maintainers recognize their actions and contributions as parts of a larger ecosystem that evolves over time. Burnout, a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress as [defined by the WHO](https://icd.who.int/browse11/l-m/en#/http://id.who.int/icd/entity/129180281), is not uncommon among maintainers. This often leads to a loss of motivation, an inability to focus, and a lack of empathy for the contributors and community you work with.

  Use-Case & Size Ranges
  These general levels are appropriate for use by themselves, without the need to reference a lookup table. APCA reports contrast as an Lc value (lightness contrast) from **Lc 0** to **Lc 105+**. For accessibility, consider Lc 15 the point of invisibility for many users, and Lc 90 as preferred for body text.
  • **Lc 90** • Preferred level for fluent text and columns of body text with a font no smaller than 18px/weight 300 or 14px/weight 400 (normal), or non-body text with a font no smaller than 12px/400. Also a recommended minimum for extremely thin fonts with a minimum of 24px at weight 200. Lc 90 is a *suggested maximum* for **very large and bold fonts** (greater than 36px bold), and large areas of color. Small fonts do not have a maximum.
  • **Lc 75** • The *minimum* level for columns of body text with a font no smaller than 24px/300 weight, 18px/400, 16px/500 and 14px/700. This level may be used with non-body text with a font no smaller than 15px/400. Also, Lc 75 should be considered a minimum for larger for any larger text where readability is important.
  • **Lc 60** • The *minimum* level recommended for content text that is not body, column, or block text. In other words, text you want people to read. The minimums: no smaller than 48px/200, 36px/300, 24px normal weight (400), 21px/500, 18px/600, 16px/700 (bold). These values based on the reference font Helvetica. To use these sizes as body text, add Lc 15.
  • **Lc 45** • The *minimum* for larger, heavier text (36px normal weight or 24px bold) such as headlines, and large text that should be fluently readable but is not body text. This is also the minimum for pictograms with fine details, or smaller outline icons.
  • **Lc 30** • The *absolute minimum* for any text not listed above, including text considered as “spot readable”. This includes placeholder text and disabled element text, and some non-content like a copyright bug. This is also the minimum for large/solid semantic & understandable non-text elements such as “mostly solid” icons or pictograms. Generally no less than 5.5px solid in its smallest dimension.
  • **Lc 15** • The *absolute minimum* for any non-semantic non-text that needs to be *discernible*, and is no less than 5px (solid) in its smallest dimension. This may include dividers, and in *some* cases large buttons or thick focus-visible outlines, but does *not* include fine details which have a higher minimum. **Designers should treat anything below this level as invisible**, as it will not be visible for many users. This minimum level should be avoided for any items important to the use, understanding, or interaction of the site.
  These define the basic minimum levels, what you might think of as AA in the old WCAG 2. For the equivelent to AAA, simply increase the contrast values by Lc 15. [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01j80shgn3ccehc3qxw0at9gsz))

  Research suggests that engaging in regular journaling can have numerous benefits when it comes to stress reduction and personal development. Firstly, by writing down one’s thoughts and feelings related to stressful events or situations, individuals are able to gain clarity and perspective on their internal state. This process enables them to identify patterns or triggers that contribute to their stress levels, thereby empowering them with the knowledge needed to make positive changes in their lives. Additionally, journaling provides a safe outlet for expressing emotions that may be difficult to articulate verbally. Through this cathartic release of pent-up feelings, individuals can experience relief from emotional distress while gaining a sense of emotional release and catharsis.

  • **Lc 75** - The minimum level for columns of body text with a font no smaller than 18px/400. Consider Lc 75 as a minimum for text where readability is important.
  • **Lc 60** - The minimum level recommended for content text that is not body, column, or block text. In other words, text you want people to read. The minimums: 24px normal weight (400) or 16px/700 (bold).
  • **Lc 45** - The minimum for larger, heavier text (36px normal weight or 24px bold) such as headlines. This is also the minimum for pictograms with fine details.
  • **Lc 30** - The absolute minimum for any text not listed above. This includes placeholder text and disabled element text. This is also the minimum for large/solid semantic & understandable non-text elements.
  • **Lc 15** - The absolute minimum for any non-text that needs to be discernible and differentiable, and is no less than 5px in its smallest dimension. This may include disabled large buttons.

  KEY POINTS
  ◊ Triggers are things that set off a stress response in our brains, and make our body feel the need to fight, flight, or freeze.
  ◊ Autistic people can get overwhelmed or stressed from exposure to their triggers.
  ◊ Every autistic person has different triggers, so it’s important to get to know your own.
  ◊ The detective habit is a method of reflection that can help identify one’s triggers, and then create strength-based coping strategies.
  ◊ Other people can be helpful in identifying your triggers, but take caution that the person you ask is sensitive and uncritical.
  ◊ Autistic people can react differently to triggers at different times. If your basic needs are not met, or if you are stressed, you are more likely to react strongly to a trigger.
  ◊ Rationing out your triggers helps avoid triggers building up and becoming overwhelming.
  ◊ Planning time to rest after a build-up of triggers is really important, as is having a few techniques to calm yourself when out and about. [View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01j6wz69za3httx5ksj1zz0hnq))
