This is one of the most under-rated features of PostgreSQL -- its extreme extensibility. I've abused this to great effect over the years. If you are bold, you can make it do some things it really wasn't designed to, relatively safely. And the things it was designed to do, like introducing types and operators, is relatively simple.

My only complaint is that for a few realistic use cases (e.g. zero-copy aggregates with variable-sized memory) there is no documentation how to do this efficiently and "correctly".
as the article says, you can create a local git repository with SHA-256 hashes today, and it should work fine...but the moment you try to push your repo up to Github, you'll hit a brick wall.

Gitlab also appears to be lacking support [0], and the same with Gitea [1].

so it's a grey area where Git itself supports SHA-256-based repos, but without the major Git hosting services also supporting them, the support in core Git is somewhat useless.

Expose a "REST" API and webhooks and you can have practically as many clients or "integrations" as you want.

Here are design principles:

- Anything you can do with point and click, you must be able to do with an API call.

- It should theoretically be possible to clone your product using its API.

- Users can be anything (people, systems, your own product). For example, our product is built using a plugin architecture, our subsystems hit our API.

- Someone interested in an event should get that event and be able to subscribe to it. (Again, users can be people or systems, and that event could be the basis of some downstream actions).

A lot depends on your field. The academic fields that are moderately OK are the ones where there's a lively job market in industry competing for talent. I know professors in CS and Medicine, who are quite happy.

In other fields, there's no continuity of work beyond someone's job. A professor studying X can be replaced by another professor studying Y. There's no reason to keep you, if someone else can be more productive. And beyond the undergrad level, you depend on the cooperation and goodwill of people who can deliberately or inadvertently make your career vanish in a nanosecond. And then unless you're a superstar, you get start from scratch and hope for a second lucky break amidst a multiple of brilliant competitors.

I got out right after grad school, so I don't even qualify as an academic refugee. My parents had both been industrial scientists, so that career path wasn't foreign to me, and I planned for it while working on my degree.

When I got "screwed" in industry, I was quickly back on my feet. Turning things around, a company making X can hire someone away from a company making Y.
>Do you think every Supreme Court, since the founding (gun regulation is that old), was wrong about gun regulation and the Constitution, and this particular Supreme Court was right?

It's worth noting here that past cases before the Court referenced the idea that blacks could be allowed to carry fire arms if citizenship (pre-civil war) was interpreted more broadly, and that that fact was a reason to restrict it. So, yes, the Court has certainly erred in the past ... multiple times. 2A has been recognized as an individual and enumerated right for a long time. It's somewhat an invention of modern media that it isn't an individual right, and lots of people have been summarily gaslit into thinking it has something to do with membership in a (state run) militia.

Why would the mere existence of some static-eval capability give you that affordance?

Researchers have been working on these three things for decades. Yes, “comptime” isn’t some Zig invention but a somewhat limited (and anachronistic to a degree) version of what researchers have added to research versions of ML and Ocaml. So can it implement all the static language goodies of Rust and give you dependent types? Sure, why not? After all, computer scientists never had the idea that you can evaluate values and types at compile-time. Now all those research papers about static programming language design will wither on their roots now that people can just use the simplicity and generality of `comptime` to prove programs correct.

I have a similar lifestyle.

I am starting to realize it's not laziness that's holding me back. It's full-blown burnout, stress, and anxiety. I have realized that I am actively avoiding doing anything to make my life better. Upon further inspection, I was doing this before I touched cannabis (about 1.5 years ago). If anything, cannabis just dulls my feelings down enough that I can keep my head above water while going to my dead-end and toxic job that I've been at for almost 6 years.

I know what I need to do and I cannot bring myself to do it. I am still trying to figure out why. Again, this existed prior to my cannabis usage too.
It's rare that jobs exist that you truly care about the vision for. Don't attack people just for feeling something that you've never experienced personally.

Contrary to much of modern political US discourse the founding fathers did not intend for the Constitution to be an immortal document treated as sacrosanct and inviolable.

Thomas Jefferson[1] wanted the Constitution to be rewritten every 19 years as he did not believe future generations should be constrained by the limited understanding of the past. Given that past history, the government and it’s various bodies didn’t have a problem with banning weapons more powerful than the founders could have imagined from being in the hands of every civilian.

What is probably confusing you is there is a long simmering but recently rapidly growing religion in the US[2] that does believe that the Constitution is sacred and cannot be altered, and have gained enough political and social power to treat it as such. If I recall correctly the United States is currently in the longest stretch between Constitutional amendments in its history, as a result of this political/religious movement

I don't think Russia is slaughtering civilians at will, there are no more civilian casualties than other conflicts like this in Iraq and Afghanistan not to mention Syria. For this scale of a war the numbers are actually surprisingly low, probably because the Russians see Ukrainians as almost the same as Russians. Comparing it to the bombing they did in Syria or Chechnya where they didn't care much for the people there.
There were a few places where the text sounded weird.

> He had a plum position, and he was years away from tenure review. It’s hard to walk away from a place like that after a lifetime of striving.

The nominal academic career is ~45 years, as successful academics rarely retire early. In most fields, getting a tenure-track faculty job signals the transition from early to mid-career. But this seems to be about CS in the US, where it's common to get a faculty job with minimal postdoctoral experience. Getting tenure is then the true starting point for mid-career, and this was more likely about an early-career researcher choosing to leave the academia.

> Academics for their part tend to lean into this by playing the “let’s see how quickly I can destroy this entire presentation” game.

There are some toxic fields of research, but I don't think this attitude is particularly common in the academia. There are many fields with a true sense of community. People generally realize that it's better to be nice to your colleagues, even if you are competing against them, because you will be stuck with them for decades.

> Academia is characterized by well-trodden problems, hashed over for decades, and negligible novel data for resolving them.

Here my experience is the opposite. The academia is characterized by world's top experts in a narrow niche investigating speculative problems few people have any idea of. More often than not, that research turns out to be a dead end, "wasting" years of work.

I honestly blame film/TV and other modern media for implanting anxieties in people via a combination of sensationalist news reports on gruesome crimes and the horror genre which seem to form a feedback loop of mistrust. Before that people had to go out of their way to hear of such grizzly tales in books or newspapers (if they could even read) so most lived in ignorant bliss, unaware of the potential violence lurking in every corner of humanity. Maybe I'm wrong but I'd just like to know when ans why it was we lost out innocence as a society.

> So, an attempt to build a socialist utopia that gets usurped by dictators is one of the built in failure modes

Perhaps. I understand the direction you're thinking. We have two or three significant instances of that happening.

My suspicion is that it doesn't come from socialism, but from botched revolution. "The people" organised themselves into militia to prosecute a revolution. The militia benefitted from hierarchical leadership, as is the way with military process. As soon as power was taken from the previous despot, an opportunistic military leader leaped at the chance to replace the despot with themselves rather than truly ceding ownership to "the people". Maybe because the revolutionary leadership had been successful, "the people" accepted the revolutionary leaders should also be the "peacetime" leaders (plus the leaders had the military, so it's hard to argue against them). Hierarchy continued, just with a new face.

I see some parallels but my own problems spiralled a bit further than yours. I was struggling with hallucinations and paranoia on and off for a period of a few years in my early twenties (but luckily didn't leave a trace on social media).

I am an active Twitter user and I know what you mean by screenshots of walls of text. There is no endemic use of such modality across Twitter, with few exceptions.

I stand by the statement that Twitter moving into publishing long-form content puts it on the same pedestal with Medium and defeats the purpose of the platform. Which is OK - strategy evolves, and someone did the math that this is going to be more beneficial.

My other comments reflect my stance on their decision, but I am neither a product manager at Twitter, nor do I have any knowledge of the "whys" so take this with a boulder of salt.

Just the other day, I was actually forced to downgrade the file hash used in the product I'm working on to sha1 in order to interact with GitHub's APIs efficiently (to avoid having to download the entire file just to recompute a sha256 for matching).

Fantastic work! The technical writeup is beautifully written, and introduced me to a lot of tools I haven't heard of before.
(I'm the "Bjarmason" quoted in the article)

To elaborate a bit: One thing that makes a viable attack against Git especially hard is that aside from the hash it's using has a behavior of never replacing an already hashed object[1].

So let's say I have a tool that can take a given file & SHA-1 pair and produce a collision, the next step is quite hard. I could in this scenario produce a file with an exploit whose hash matches that of Linus's kernel/pid.c or whatever.

But how do I get that object to propagate among forks of linux.git to distribute my exploited code?

If I e.g. push it to a fork of linux.git on a hosting provider that Linus uses the the remote "git-index-pack" process will hash my colliding object, but before it stores it check whether such an object ID exists in its object store, if it does it'll drop it on the floor. You don't need to store data you've already got in a content-addressable filesystem.

Which is not to say that a hash collision is a non-issue, and Git should certainly be migrating from SHA-1. There's no disagreement about that in the Git development community.

But it matters for how much you should panic how the software you're using could be exploited in the case of a hash collision.

Also, the scenario above presupposes a preimage attack, which is a much worse attack on a hash function than a collision attack. Currently no viable preimage attack on SHA-1 exists, only a collision attack.

Which means that before any of the above I'd have to have produced a viable version of say kernel/pid.c that Linus was willing to merge, knowing that my evil twin of that version is something I intended to exploit people with.

Then I'd need to patiently wait for that version to make it into a release, knowing that even a one-byte change to the file would foil my plans...

1. On the topic of running with scissors: I wrote a patch to disable that collision check for an ex employer, it helped in that I/O-bound setup, and we were confident in the lessened security being a non-issue for us in that particular setup. The patch never made it into git's mainline. The patch won't apply anymore, but the embedded docs elaborate on the topic: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20181113201910.11518-1-avarab@gm...
