> What's stopping the NSA from inserting a backdoor to recognize it's running kernel randomness code and change the results too?

It's much much harder. They'd have to insert something on the frontend (where the instruction decoder is) or on the L1 instruction cache to recognize when it's running that specific piece of code; both parts are very critical for the processor performance, so every gate of delay counts. And that's before considering that the Linux kernel code changes unpredictably depending on the compiler, kernel configuration options, and kernel release. Oh, and you have to be very precise in detecting that code, to make sure nothing else misbehaves or even gets slower (some people count cycles on parts of their code, so an unexpected slowness would get noticed).

Contrast with RDRAND, an instruction which is defined to return an unpredictable value; it would be simple to make its output depend on a counter mixed with a serial number and a couple of bits of real randomness, instead of being fully random. It's not even on the performance-critical part of the chip; it's isolated on its own block, so adding a backdoor to it would cause no performance problems, and would break no other software.

Yes, this is the thing... it is highly processed. It is a similar situation to nut milks and soy milk, which tend to be either highly processed, lacking real nutritional value, or both.

The other problem I think is that over time these meat substitutes will evolve to improve sales, and if the biggest buyers are fast food chains, that evolution will tend in the wrong direction.

> One of the fake reviews was by someone who had passed away with a picture obtained from their obituary. A moderator who knows an author or book has been flagged could spend a minute to find this out.

This is an "obvious in hindsight" example but do we expect mods to google search every single name/photo of every review or comment, and then determine if it's legit or not?

This quickly becomes an escalation game where the effort to identify fakes just gets more and more tedious, and it's been repeatedly proven that trolls have way more time and energy to spend on this game than volunteer moderators, and will simply out-grind them to keep up their harassment.

Any solution that involves putting in more human effort than the trolls is likely to fail.
Another thing that Git does not track -

I saw a web designer check in a huge hierarchy of empty directories which would be the structure of the new project that their team should work on. They were quite surprised when it didn't show up on any of the other designer's computers after a "pull". They had to go to the "Git guru" for help.

Windows and Mac both have directories as a major fundamental concept. Everyone knows them and is familiar with them. Subversion tracks directories. Git does not.
Parallel Programming in Python, Part 1: Dask and Numba
"There needs to be display options well above FHD/1080p."

With a 13 inch screen, 1920x1080 is at the pixel density (150) where someone with 20/20 vision won't notice pixellation from a distance of 24 inches. Even with a 15 inch display (density = 128) you're still pretty damn close. Realistically, it would make no difference in usability to go beyond 2560xwhatever in resolution on a laptop, and even that's already getting excessive. Most people with high res displays are already using magnification, which defeats the purpose of such high resolution.

I'm using the new Honor Magic Book with Ubuntu Mate installed and am quite pleased with it. Lightweight, good battery life, good screen, good touchpad (SUPER IMPORTANT), USB-C (only one port, unfortunately), dongle-free HDMI, and enough power for development. And the price can't be beat.

Unlikely, because expansion of space is equivalent to the slowing of light, as other commenters have mentioned.
Look at the URL: "rewriting-history"

Ammending changes the hash of the commit. That doesn't matter if you haven't pushed it yet but if you have, you can't push the change upstream without force-pushing.

And if I want to change a commit message further back in history (regardless of my own or of somebody else), it would branch off at that point from the upstream git history.

What I want is that you could put multiple comments onto the same commit with different timestamps. Like git versions files, it should also allow to version commit messages.
I hope they use fewer oils and more Whole Foods eventually. I’ve had “chocolates” made out of diced dates and nuts which were great. Because they’re made of diced dates instead of extracted sugars the product contains the nutrients and fibers of the original plants. Much easier through the system.
Having an official central server is precisely what you want in most development environments. Being able to go back to any prior version of the code is tremendously useful and something git can't do.

After svn, git was a breath of fresh air; far easier to use and reason about, not to mention much faster.

I don't think much of your all-in-one solution like fossil - that's a competitor for GitHub (without the bits that make GH good), not git.

I tried to use hg at one point in the early days, and found it much slower than git. Git's low latency for commands made a substantial difference, perceptually. In principle I think git encourages too much attention to things like rebases, which fraudulently rewrite history and lie about how code was written, just so the diff history can look neater. Working code should be the primary artifact, not neat history, and rebases and other rewrites make it too easy to cause chaos with missing or duplicated commits in a team environment. So ideologically, mercurial is a better fit, but that's not enough to make me use it.

Fit is a function of an environment; when we say survival of the fittest, we mean fitness as adapted to an environment. Feature set isn't the only aspect; at this point, the network effects of git are insurmountable without a leap forward in functionality of some kind.

(I think git & hg are just as elegant as one another; to me, the elegance is in the Merkle tree and the conceptual model one needs to operate the history graph.)

Does not Fossil’s “no rebases” philosophy bother you?

IMHO, the ability to “commit early, commit often” and to squash/rebase original work later into clean and understandable commits is one of the best features of Git.

The environmental problems don't come from cattle or pork or palm trees themselves, they're caused by massive industrial levels of production that modern civilization needs. To truly substitute pork this industry will have to become as massive as the pork meat industry is now. And that means, among other things, a huge increase in already high demand for coconut and palm tree oil - which will certainly reflect in 3rd world countries jumping the wagon and clearing even more rain forests, and even more rare species will be endangered. So we just replace one problem with another.

Some people die from being near peanut dust. That doesn't mean nuts are unhealthy to those who can eat them.

Even those who are included in "lactose intolerant" populations actually have no trouble chugging a huge glass of milk everyday along with some cheese and yogurt. Intolerance charts like you'd find on Wikipedia would lead you to suggest east Asians can't consume milk at all without discomfort, yet yogurt for breakfast, milk during lunch, a milk tea before dinner and ice cream after isn't even the slightest bit uncommon and causes no trouble for most people.

That some people can consume liters a day (or gallons, for those trying to gain muscle fast) seems to indicate that some people evolved to be fine with dairy.

> I can't stand those that have to impose their diet onto the rest of the world

I hear this complaint a lot about "imposing" beliefs, but mainly when it comes to diet. Why does diet get singled out?

It's usually considered a good thing to campaign for changes in politics (e.g. for/against drug legalisation, for/against vote reform, for/against higher taxes). You may not agree with a particular argument, but I think most people agree that being allowed to persuade people towards a point of view is part of a healthy society.

Why does politics when it comes to diet get such a visceral reaction?

> If you expect RDRAND to change its behavior to be nefarious, also expect ADD and MUL to do the same.

There's a very important difference: ADD and MUL are deterministic, while the output of RDRAND is random. If ADD or MUL or FDIV return incorrect results, that can be detected (as the Pentium has shown). If RDRAND returns backdoored values, it cannot be detected by only looking at its output; you have to check the circuit.
I skipped on these as the one I was going to get had single channel RAM, have they fixed this ?
Right, especially after a "squash", which seems to be the standard way to merge branches in the companies I've been working with recently. (Which is, ironically, also the way Subversion merges branches. With the exception that "svn blame -g" will go into the commits which were squashed if you want. An option which doesn't exist after a "squash" on Git.)
Windows 7 [something] definitely allows for more than 1 CPU. I mistakenly configured KVM to show 10 CPUs with 2 cores each instead of 1 CPU with 10 cores with 2 threads each, and it definitely showed more than one CPU in the task manager (and less than ten).

I should also say that I use Arch Linux with i3, powertop settings and set my backlight down to about 7% to get the longest battery settings. This is fine indoors, but if I'm working outdoors or in a sunny place, I'll have to up the backlight which will cut a couple of hours off the peak performance.
> Today, if I want to store data for my application, I have a choice between good support for rich object types and connections (e.g., Postgres), or good support for history and merging (e.g., Git). There's no one system that provides both.

It's still a toy at this point, but it stores richly typed data as plain text files to leverage git for history and merging and then can use SQLite (or others) for querying and analysis.

Not blocking under insufficient entropy does not suddenly make that entropy available. Punting entropy collection to userspace doesn't magically allow for DoS-free random number generation --- it just transforms, silently, a condition of insufficient entropy into a subtle security vulnerability. It feels like a form of reality denial, a bit like overcommit. The more time goes by, the more I wish there were a unixlike built on robustness, determinacy, and strict resource accounting.

Notice what the quote in the article, and the points made in the comments below, reveal?

Humans compare with their reference group. As your status increases you'll step out of your old group and into a new one. And then the cycle starts again. Your peers are again ahead! You've traded your group of 'job seeking undergrads' for 'ladder climbing professionals'.

I'm not sure if it's possible to have control over this automatic comparing, but the cure is not to keep climbing. It's to hack your mind to set your reference group to people that have lower status, aka: be gratefull for what you have, and think about the ways in which you are furtunate that others are not.
Dignity is really, really undervalued in the present era. Perhaps because it's hard to monetise.
The problem with Git is that the software and API aren't separated. Like all modern software, there should be an API or interface to which all distributed source control engines comply, allowing the specific DVCS engine to an implementation detail. Want the old-school one written in C by Linus? Fine. Want a revamped version of Mercurial that uses the same commands and creates the same repository format? Cool! Want to Show HN your ability to implement the same thing in Rust with lower memory and better safety? Awesome!

But with Git this isn't possible because there's no concept of the API or interface for distributed version control being separate from the implementation -- and the discussion of "could the API be better than what it is now?" has never been had in a meaningful way.
