What do we call the "--" part in a command like this:

    git checkout HEAD -- <filename>
I find it hard to remember things unless I understand their purpose. It looks like it's specifying an argument but without an argument name (e.g. --verbose), unless it's similar to a pipe | symbol and <filename> is being passed to the checkout command as some special kind of argument?

Can you share how it's doing cpu/memory wise and his it's holding up in general under what I assume I heavy load from HN?

I find it a bit strange that in this system my identity is conflated with my wallet.

My heart is with vim but I switched to emacs as I love orgmode too much for note taking. I tried a few vim orgmode plugins but they seemed quite flakey even though I only really use orgmode for outlining. Excuse my ignorance but could all this LSP/Lua stuff allow neovim to take over from emacs?

Found some info on this:

> 0.37.8 is actually a 1.0.1 version of Atom so it's not THAT old. The only difference between 0.37.8 and 1.0.0 release is the remove of deprecated API that were not flagged as such in 0.37.8 release. Reason why Atom only incrementally updates electron is to minimize application breakage due to Atom project's size. [0]

> We decide to update to a new version of Electron when there is an enhancement or bug fix that version would enable that would benefit Atom users. Because updating to a new version of Electron is non-trivial, sometimes we skip versions until there is a clear benefit that justifies the cost. [1]
