SHA-1 wasn't intended to be cryptographic in Git. In Git, SHA is used to facilitate "content addressable storage". It probably would have been better if something like Murmur were used, because it would have been very clear that the function was not being used in a cryptographic sense.

There was, and is, no need for it to change. The correct solution is to sign commits with something designed for that (PGP).

Switching to SHA-256 is a dangerous change, because people will believe that it is secure in ways that it is not.

SHA-256 will reduce the likelihood of collisions. However, if SHA-1 is used for CAS, there is a higher chance of a meteorite falling through your roof than finding a collision through normal use.

I think it's one of the reasons Apple decided to make such a great leap with Catalina. It's a testing ground for what will happen when we switch to ARM. It's also a clear message to developers to recompile and test their builds against each new version of Xcode and macOS even if they don't plan any new release. The great pain for the users is often the choice between security updates and using their legacy software that worked perfectly so far.
Google has repeatedly shown itself to be abysmal at fulfilling service requests and obeying relevant laws until they are forced to do so. I don't know why you'd qassume bad faith here on the part of this user instead of google, given the very extensive public history of google failing at customer service (and they have nothing to gain but publicity which may get their issue resolved).
My own problem with services like this is that I don't want to tell their owners what blogs I read. It's a privacy concern.

I'd feel much more comfortable using a standalone tool that I could run on my own laptop (ideally one that didn't require running a web server or even a web browser).

To be fair my laptop at work has 8 cores and 64gb of ram and it's already 3 years old

I'm gonna change it soon not because it's not good anymore, but because some of the hardware has become too slow for the things are necessary nowadays

Mind you it's not my choice only, things are more complex, deadlines aren't longer, quarterly reports are still every 3 months but the things we have to do have become more complex and computationally heavy and need new hardware to keep up

I'm an hobbyist musician, a 300 dollars laptop is good enough and even if I was a pro it would be enough

Truth is that the computational power of a 100 dollars smartphone would be enough

So a new chip by Apple doesn't change that their mobile line is already overpowered for the average use cases and the laptop one is underpowered and overpriced
The Fight Against 'One Voice'
I have heard about "competitive meta" before. What I don't understand is how it's any different than "responding to changes in how a game works"? All of the examples in the link are like this (Magic has new cards, let's figure out how to use them; judo has new rules, let's figure out how to adapt to them; our Ultimate opponent is using a certain strategy, let's try to counter it).
A trip to Europe or Japan is enough for to people like me to say, "there's something wrong with my urban environment but I can't quite put my finger on it." CityLab is an answer to that nagging feeling. There's also a neat software engineering cross-over as design patterns in software engineering is a response to Christopher Alexander's work on urban design patterns, "The Pattern of Streets"

Personal opinion: consider going with Wireguard instead.
Yes.. not only offer the exact same features but any software that tries to implement the format would have to agree on the exact algorithms for the transformations represented by each procedural step. Any error in any one of those algorithms would cascade into subsequent steps and could generate a completely different final product

In the article, second paragraph of the History section

>Several years after Kościuszko's death, Jefferson, aged 77, pleaded his inability to execute the will due to age[4] and the numerous legal complexities of the bequest.[5] Jefferson recommended his friend John Hartwell Cocke, who also opposed slavery, to be executor, but Cocke also declined to execute the bequest.[4] He wrote to Jefferson that there were "prejudices to be encountered" in their education and of "an effect which might be produced on the minds of my own people."[4] The federal court appointed an attorney, Benjamin L. Lear, to be executor of the estate. Lear died in 1832, the case still unresolved, and so his executor, Colonel George Bomford, became the executor as well of the Kościuszko estate.[6]
Something doesn't make sense there:

>Before the final Supreme Court decision, Gaspard Tochman, acting on behalf of Kosciusko's relatives, had found an 1816 will drawn up in Paris. This will, which revoked the one made in concert with Jefferson and the one concerning Kosciusko Armstrong, was authenticated.

>In September 1817, shortly before his death in October, he wrote a letter to Jefferson mentioning the bequest - "...of which money, after my death, you know the fixed destination."

And one of linked references https://books.google.pl/books?id=ZwqETEY0UiMC&pg=PA23&redir_... states: "Significantly, this paper writing not only revoked the American will of 1798[...]", but also weirdly "it made no specific disposition of American estate".

So it looks like case was resolved on some wording technicality of 1798 will, while Kościuszko still thought 1798 will is valid? (as evidenced by October 1817 letter)
You’re right, of course, and I did. It’s morning, I need coffee, have an upvote :)
But this wasn't a quantitative analysis on what other combinations of people experience. It was acknowledging a shared cisgender experience with women.

This. My main development machine is a Thinkpad T60, manufactured in 2006. Still running strong. For me, it is still a supercomputer. 2x1.8GHz. 4G ram. 1400x1050. Everything I develop on it screams on anything modern. When it breaks I'm planning on moving backward in time to see if there is an older model that I can adapt to, probably without spending a single dollar, just acquiring a thrown away computer.

Do you know of any http-accessible BitKeeper host (commercial or self hostable)? I tried out BK some months ago but wasn't able to find any way to put my code up on the internet, aside from BkBits.net, which appears to be abandoned and gave a HTTP 5xx error when I tried to sign up.

4Chan is notorious for doing this successfully, with even less detail to start with. The large anonymous crowd of viewers and poster is highly likely to contain people who can identify even the smallest detail. Within the past few years, a few remarkable ones stand out to me:

1. Locating terrorist training camps by high voltage power lines visible in the background.

2. Shia LeBeouf's IRL Super Capture the Flag, "He Will Not Divide Us," located and vandalized no less than 5 times. The last one used astronavigation principles, and visible contrails from airplane traffic.

3. Identifying muggers in crowds based on nothing more than biking gear and facial hair.

The one thing these had in common, was a sustained call for effort. By keeping the limited original details available and obvious, people in every timezone and demographic could view them. This greatly increases the odds of specialist knowledge or community insiders being able to add information to the detail, which goes back to the general audience, forming an action feedback loop.

Amatuer hour indeed, but when you have 10000 random people you get results pretty quick.
Good point. One of my sets was of noticeably poor quality compared to the others. For bits I was using frequently, I'd try to find a tools seller with a brand to protect (probably not on Amazon, with their SKU commingling).
I don't have any examples, but the general idea is that if you have issues that you aren't paying attention to and you start meditating, you relax and become quiet inside, and these issues you've been ignoring start to come up.

For some people, especially if they're previously unaware of their issues, it can seem like meditation itself has caused some bad reaction.

It's like if you're listening to the radio really loud and then turn it off and hear the smoke alarm. Turning off the radio didn't cause the smoke, but it might sound that way if you're not familiar with what's really going on.

C is clearly influenced by functional languages.

Though C programming is usually about effects, effects occur in expressions which usually return a value except in cases when their type is "void" (which was a later introduction into C, possibly from C++).

C even has an if/then conditional that yields a value, the ternary operator x ? y : z, which is a more strongly typed version of (if x y z).

Very well put, as usual. The most important part for me is how both developers and users are unhappy with the current rules.

Hey is the latest flavor of the controversy, but from the start I’m bitter I can’t buy Amazon ebooks directly from the amazon app. And it’s not like these rule give me more security, provide for the stability of the platform, or help me in any indirect ways. The kindle app still makes no revenue for Apple either way.

Everyone loses, and that doesn’t help Apple’s image as it’s slowly crawling out of the laptop keyboard fiasco and this string of pretty flaky macos versions.
>Moores law is ending for everyone, not just Intel.

I am by no means an "in the know" on Chip design and this whole bit is probably a fair bit of speculation, but I remember Jim Keller talking about the ending of Moores law on a podcast in February[1].
If I remember correctly his argument boiled down to the theory, that Moores law is in some sense a self fulfilling prophecy. You need to have every part of your company believing in it, or else the parts stop meshing into one another well. I.e. if a team doesn't believe that they will get reach a density/size improvement, that would allow them to use more transistors in their design they will need to cut down and adjust their plans to that new reality.
If this distrust in improvement spreads inside of a company, it would in turn lead to a steeper slowdown in overall improvement.

And while there may be an industry-wide slowdown at the current point in time, perhaps this dynamic is exacerbated at intel, causing them to loose their competitive edge over the past years.

> surviving 113 days in the wilderness isn't that great of a feat. if you were prepared, and had done a bare minimum of research and planning beforehand, you could manage not to die.

Sorry but this just isn't true. There's too many variables to account for, the season, terrain, availability of large game, availability and proximity of water. Even in the best circumstances, outdoor survival isn't easy. There is one particular show (forgot the name) where contestants are put into an area on their own and tasked to survive as long as possible. The areas are specifically chosen for their viability. Even then very few people, even those with experience, make it past 90 days.

Successful survival is a conglomeration of many skills, hunting, navigation, sheltering, foraging, cooking, weather adaptation, emotional regulation, food preparation and preservation, shooting, injury prevention and care, etc. Of course preparation is an important factor, but your statement suggesting that just about anyone can do it given some basic research is a huge stretch.
It averages out IMO. In my Model 3 AWD in the Midwest, I frequently get better than the rated efficiency of ~242 Wh/mi in the summer and Fall and worse in the winter. It is around ~200 Wh/mi in the summer and close to 300 in the winter depending on how cold it gets. So the range could be as low as 250 in the winter and even better than 310 in the summer/fall depending on how I drive and how warm it is.

I have been baking Sourdough goods such as bread, focaccia, scones, doughnuts, pizza, baguette, pancake, and more for over 5 years [www.urbancottage.net] and haven't tried poolish not biga. I know you would need to add yeast to the mix. I tried other recipes with yeast and it is good. I would need it to give the dough a lift not more.

My get to a recipe for bread, focaccia, and pizza is
800g white wheat,
200g whole wheat,
800g water,
20g salt,
200g starter.
Mix, rest, and turn over once every 30 minutes. Cold fermentation for 6-20 hours.
I have taught many people this simple and easy receipt.

Bread baking is like magic to me, more than cooking. It requires patient and appreciate the process of simple elements.

I'm working on an online course where I attack people's issues, not mine. I will explain it, and offer solutions based on science and common sense. Give them confident to bake with any flour at any temperature (+30º / -10º). Show them different ways to bake with pure starter or with a little of dried yeast, and why.

1- Would anyone be interesting to join?
2- What would you like to see this course covers or explains?
3- What issues/fears/troubles/mistakes you do/face while baking sourdough bread.

My point is the precise technical details of how to run one particular language in one particular environment are irrelevant and not the business of a university. You can pick up this practical skill anytime you need.

You're supposed to be learning the concepts. You can do that using an IDE.

I have no idea how to run an Erlang program on a server. Could I pick it up in five minutes if I needed to? Sure. So why do I need to learn it? Why do you care if I can do it coming out of university?
