How we already authenticate is cryptography, we just need to use it more.

It seems that you and the original blog post only disagree about what the word "technician" means (and I think I'm on "your side" with the definition). But the original blog post really talks about automating away d

Same question here. From one to eight threads typically doesn't account for 8x reduction directly. So if it's ten times faster, then I'd assume a single threaded Rust version made it at least twice as fast. Though I'd wa

I'm similar, though I have a helper script to quickly jump into a worktree for a branch, and then asks me to delete it when I leave. The main repo is for work, and the semi-temporary ones are review, remote, or whatever else I need. Th

That person wasn't actually fired either.

Thanks! As a fellow developer with no formal education I also feel that strictly requiring a CS or similar degree probably isn't the best way - that there should be a way to account for work experience, perhaps some kind of test. Would

It means that you don't need a technician at all where the problem is completely automatable. In the original blog post, the developer who was automated away was of that type - adding HTTP API endpoints from protobuf definitions if I r

There is a difference between something that can be completely automated and where unpredictable problems arise.

Curious to know more, which country, how does one get a license, and how do the non-licensed sw-s call themselves?

But what is the exact criticism here, e.g the serialized form doesn't look "nice" when you open the file?

Idempotent sounds confusing to me as an idempotent HTTP request (not very mathy, I know) I could run many times over, the effect being as if it were done once on the first time. For a software build it sounds like running `make` multiple ti

What are "third party plugins" in this context?

Thanks! I wish they had a https site that had some mechanism (even manual instruction) to go around that issue.

Right. What I was aiming at was that when someone invents one of these, they are probably thinking about the other, too, without the set theoretic rigor you recite.

I'm just nitpicking, but it's unlikely that the inventors of both had empty set and zero formalized to a degree to make them distinct.

Well, you said something will happen with git and big files, but it seems not much will happen for the majority of users.

But you're always arguing the odd case: - 32 bit systems - cygwin git on Windows instead of native - expecting deduplication on different files (???)

Do you happen to know, why are they not using TLS?
501.
by kreetx 2y ago
AFAIK, not much of anything changes (perhaps name some of these changes?). And what is wrong with a single blob? This seems work great for deduplication, if you were using git to manage a photo library and happen to add something twice.

So I just added a 2.4GB iso and other than taking longer nothing happened. Push and clone also seem to work.

I think what they mean by "handling binary files well" is being able to selectively not clone/pull them. Otherwise, binary files are handle as any other files, except you are not shown a diff of them by default.

He is now here as well :), though rather annoyed I would say. I guess business success doesn't bring happiness. Edit: There was another thread from him linked as well https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26205688

As another EU member I can say as well that I'd prefer any US hegemony (financial, cultural, etc with all their negative effects) over the physical violence and authoritarian regime coming from the East.

Yup. You would think it can be stopped by diplomacy in the West, while this only allows mr Putin to continue to expand, and "save us from nazis".

IMO, changelogs taylored by humans are often better (feel more "whole") than machine generated from commit logs. If anyone wants to see the commit logs, they are there for inspection, and when written well can give a good idea on

Yeah, in a way this "spicy" take is somewhat idealist (naive?). Bigger companies, even the ones that are not all that bad, can have quite a lot of process due to the fact that there are non-technical people involved, often in cont

If you're just signing, is there any role for MPC in in there?

I'm only somewhat into cryptography, but is PKI considered as sketchy in some way?
