This was written by matz some time between 1993 and 1994. It appeared in the very first preview release of ruby, version 0.49. The original tarball has the file modification timestamps: $ curl -s https://cache.ruby-lang.org&

You're quite right -- the author of that code *was* very new to the language when he wrote this, but then again, so were we all. [0] [0] https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/3db12e8b236ac8f88db8eb46...

I work at GitHub. This is not new, and I promise it’s not a dark pattern. As a sibling comment noted, someone with sufficient permissions in this repo used the “minimize” function on these comments. This is normally intended for disruptive

Making a substantive point using humor != trolling. What form of grid/utility energy storage do you expect will dominate in 20 years? I provided a reference to back up my assertion. Do you have any?

At the risk of belaboring my point, even if what you say is true this attitude is a root cause of this unfortunate situation. Good journalism isn’t fungible — it costs money to produce. When we actively choose to not pay for media, we have

Why is it ironic? One reason all these services are introducing ads is consumers’ learned unwillingness to bear the full costs of the services they enjoy. I might argue that the true irony is grumbling about a news provider very reasonably

A fun thing is that the full gitrevisions syntax used by `rev-parse` is supported many places on GitHub where you would normally put an object id or ref name. For example, https://github.com/git/git/tree/maste

To add some nuance to the sibling reply, the SEC has extensively laid out its legal argument for why many (not all) of the coins traded on crypto exchanges are securities under US law, including specific examples. See the recent insider tra

I thought that AWS availability zones were intentionally not canonically named to prevent everyone from adding stuff to AZ “A”. So my us-east-1 zone “A” might be your “B”. But that system breaks down here when you need to know whether you a

For anyone watching this thread, shoot me a DM if you’d like to test this change. It should be enabled in all repos within a week or two.

This is such great news for ruby. Here’s hoping with these resources rubygems and bundler can add improved support for signature verification. Rubygems supports gem signing but without a good scheme for trust, key rotation, etc it is not pa

I checked and you're right: The endpoint that returns the file list has a hardcoded set of excludes and pays no attention to `.gitattributes`. I think it's reasonable to respect the linguist overrides here so I'll open a PR t

Yes! Use `<pattern> -linguist-generated` (the minus sets a negative override for any gitattribute). Here's a test demonstrating that this usage works: https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/32ec19

Perhaps you misinterpreted my reply. I didn’t intend to dispute parent’s claim, merely to correct a mechanical detail. Git signatures are more or less only as secure as SHA-1, although the properties it relies on are not yet compromised a

> Instead gpg signs the SHA-1 commit digest directly A minor correction: when signing a commit, gpg does not sign the SHA-1 digest of that commit. This is impossible since the signature becomes part of the commit header which is one of t

That's completely fair. I think the analogy to SQL as an API is very apt. No one would argue that full SQL access isn't a powerful API but it takes some legwork to understand the schema and write queries to get the data you need.
