I thought Mercator was shape-preserving but has a different scale depending on latitude?

Don't take my word for it because I still feel like I don't fully understand the situation, but are you aware of the current state of bypass diodes and shadow scanning in mppts? The situation seems to have changed a lot in recent years.

You misread their original post.

This sentence was commenting on solar panels.

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?

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.

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?

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

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

> One repo uses `master` but a subtree uses `main`. If you make a mistake and checkout `main` you end up clobbering your whole working tree with the subtree.

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