As someone who has difficulty in detecting irony, could you explain the irony in this statement?

If you're wondering how he did it, Brad wrote a tool called 'gitbrute'[1] that (as the name suggests) brute-forces the prefix of the hash to whatever you like. [1]: https://github.com/bradfitz/gitbrute

How do you know they shipped your code?

I would argue that as a PR move, it's pretty brilliant. It's been brought up countless times since it was announced, and it's been pretty hype up until now. Sure, it was basically a sure bet for Buffet.. But it spawned a comm

He did say he was wrong. He was simply stating he was surprised he didn't realise sooner, given how he had already identified a similar method of forgery in an earlier affair.

It's funny, as a kid I can remember thinking: "Right, everything has to go in the main function unless absolutely necessary, it will just be easier to read that way." Nowadays, it's the exact opposite!

I don't understand the reasoning about working less time overall. I do something similar with my lunch-breaks: I work through them, and go home an hour earlier at the end of the day. It doesn't mean I've worked less time, jus

This is incredibly user hostile with lines like "you should probably practice a little before embarrassing yourself again" and "It should not take 4.18s to solve that next time." Is that part of discouraging procrastinat

Damn, I tried searching up some rap lyrics that I knew worked a couple of days ago, no dice. How long does this penalisation last?

You would have to make a huge number of assumptions to draw the conclusion that this guy is a psychopath or otherwise a no-lifer. So what if he continues working after dinner? Does he say what he works on? It could be anything, personal pro

I'm not entirely sure what you're driving at. It seems you're equating having a routine with being a psychopath. While narcissism like in your extract can be considered part of the dark triad, it seems like you've decide

Why don't they authenticate with their own Twitter account? I'm not sure why they would need mine.

Haha, great. This reminds me of The Typing of the Dead and its sequel(s?), which were basically The House of the Dead games re-written so you had to type rather than point a gun. Brilliant stuff, this game.

I was under the impression that the story was actually about taking chances when they're offered to you, and about the consequences of letting great opportunities pass you by. Not so much about the whole ethical responsibilities of big

Indeed, I'm trying to wrap my head around it now. It's a shame, this looked like a nice fun way to just drop in to playing around with Clojure, but it turns out that it's being bit of a hassle. Not that I don't think there should be a littl

This is a brilliant idea, and may I suggest that one takes it slightly further than just implementing the core functionality, and aiming for a complete clone (optional parameters and all) with a few enhancements. Indeed, for a further ego b

Well, this is insanely creepy, but at least it shows a bit of entrepreneurial spirit. Rather than focus on the somewhat questionable ethics, how about we talk about how it actually accomplishes this? 1) What features of OpenCV are you using

High five for using 'PIN numbers' and not caring about repeating the word 'numbers'. That'll probably drive some people nuts, but not me!

Wow, have you checked out the comments on that page? Virtually zero congratulatory messages, just many, many self-entitled people bemoaning the "downfall" of the company. Good on Nik Software I say, they worked hard for this, let them enjoy
