A more charitable description of NYMBY-ism would be that these people are mainly against the externalities that construction projects in their neighbourhood would cause, as opposed to being strongly for one end result over another.

Ah, sorry. I entirely misunderstood & misread what you were saying. But in that case you'd still have the same collision, as surely what you're producing a collision for is the tree or blob object(s) you're asking to be m

They may or may not, it's a time-space trade-off, and I'm just guessing that they'll be more likely to go for eating disk over eating CPU. There's some details on this in https://git-scm.com/docs/has

I think you're confused here (or maybe I am). In this scenario you e.g. would be replacing the blob object for kernel/pid.c. Whereas the GPG signature facility in git is creating a "tag" object with a signature of the pr

I think this was discussed at some point early on, there's many outstanding issues with Git's SHA-1<->SHA-256 interop and potential unknowns, but figuring out which format a given abbreviated hash is in isn't really one

Someone probably brought it up at some point, I can't remember. But I'm not aware of any known scenario where the SHA1DC library Git uses doesn't give you the benefits of that and more. "And more" because to detect

In a past life I used to work for an anti-virus company who in addition to the Windows product sold the very portable virus-scanning engine for pretty much any other OS you could name. I worked in the *nix department, where we ported it to

I don't know if/how this played into it, but if you check out the original version of Git whose commit date is April 7th, 2005 it uses OpenSSL for SHA-1. The first OpenSSL release that has general SHA-256 support seems to have bee

The forges are keenly aware of this effort, e.g. the person who's by far done most of the work on the SHA-256 transition (brian m. carlson) has I believe mostly or entirely been done so on behalf of GitHub. I myself do some work on ups

The answer is somewhat hand-waivy, because this code doesn't exist as anything except out-of-tree WIP code (and even in that case, incomplete). But yes, the plan is definitely to support a gradual, hopefully mostly seamless rollout. Th

I had to look, but in the case of libgit2 yes they have. Like git they have a way to select SHA-1 backends, and the default is the SHA1DC library. But, even supposing a libgit2 that didn't use SHA1DC I think most users would be protect

(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

I'm talking about repurposing an existing house, often with very minor or no modifications. But as you can read about if you look for "single-family zoning"[1] this is often illegal. Of course you can also destroy existing ho

Perl still represents versions like that internally, the "pretty" v-prefixed variant is just some overload/OO magic.

Don't clobber the branch or tag, instead create dated tags with a name like built-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS. Then have downstream systems pick whatever the latest tag is. You can force push it, but why not keep a trail of what your past state

There's a huge amount of unused housing supply that's already built in the form of large single family homes that can't be split up into duplexes due to zoning or by-laws. You might need some plumbing for a second kitchen, in
