Imperial volume measurement has been binary for a long time too. Owe 3 3/4 barrels of beer to the freeholder? That'll be 1 puncheon, 1 barrel, 1 kilderkin, and 1 pin. Other binary scaling can be seen in gills, cups, pints, quarts, gallons, pecks, bushels, etc...
Oh, I had presumed you meant the commit messages, sorry. What are you talking about then? "notes"? If so: "Git has a little used feature called Notes that is an excellent support to traditional commit messages. Not surprisingly, this feature also has a great visual rendering on the GitHub.com site when Notes are pushed to a Git repository." -- https://speakerdeck.com/matthewmccullough/git-notes-and-github
Most of the hardcore devs that I know think that notes are a non-feature, so I've not paid them any attention at all. (Ditto "stash", perhaps more so.)
We have very long daylight hours in the summer, so there's little need for lighting, so little wastage. And AC's a funny concept too. I live in a 17th century building. The metre-thick walls keep me perfectly cool during summer, thank you.
Your use of the term "waste heat" presupposes the conclusion you're trying to reach. It's not "waste heat" right now, it's "heat", which is what I want.
It must be nice living in your cozy little bubble. If you ever want to leave it and see what the real world's like, start by googling "civil forfeiture".
Yeah. But you said that they sign the commit. They don't, they sign the commit id (or other hash, such as a tag's). I corrected your mistake, that's all.
Try "money can't buy". I'd need to re-do my lighting fixtures to change mounts if I wanted LEDs (but LED isn't a word, why would you expect it to be declined using the same so-called rules that apply to words?:-p ), as I need dimmable bulbs. Which would probable require re-doing my whole ceiling.
Heat-globes for the win, as they pump out some lovely heat into the room as a bonus side-effect.
While there may be many (myself included) who say plenty of positive things about Ted Ts'o, and rightly so, there are still some loonies out there who throw around libel like "Ted Ts'o is a rape apologist" in public. (The reason Ted's a child-murdering kitten-rapist is because he used facts to support an argument - unacceptable!)
The commit *id* is a hash, the commit is a commit (i.e. patch + comment + other data and metadata). It's perfectly standard to sign a secure hash, there's nothing unusual here.
*And* even a collision would most likely not be a threat - as you have to get one of the colliding things approved. You can't just dick around with trailing spaces to get hashes to agree, or put random strings in comments, without reviewers noticing and rejecting it (however, I guess you could include some extra numbers in a lookup table that were subtly never used, but if they were to change between reviewed versions, that would be highly suspicious). What's needed for a realistic threat is a second pre-image - i.e. something which hashes to the same thing as something that's fixed.
I guess Ben Noordhuis fits into that category. Except when he says that changing a few pronouns in a comment is "trivial", and points out that whoever pushed those changes into the repo without the appropriate signoffs had breached protocol, that "rudeness" effectively loses him his job.
In my experience the Dutch have always seemed very direct, but I'm not offended by that, and they've also always appeared to be the friendliest nation on earth. (Although I can only admit to knowing about 20 nationalities well.)
Rumours of me being an anti-gun nut are massively exagerated. I even used to voluntarily host the local gun club's website on my servers. (And living in a capital metropolis, it wasn't just a bunch of country hicks, it was a big club.) I just think that one ought to be more selective whose hands deadly weapons are let into. When the credit-worthiness of the purchasor of a firearm is scrutinised more deeply than the personality of the purchasor, then you're doing things very very wrong.
Agree. But it's created a situation where you just have no idea what's acceptible and what isn't. Almost every project I've started has had some kind of amusing twist to it, be that in its name, or elsewhere - I now believe that Github would not be a good place for me to host my work, as it could disappear at any time, just on someone's whim depending on their (lack of) sense of humour.
Then again, I've never believed that others should do for me what I can easily do myself, so have never used them anyway. It might be financial issues that make them disappear overnight, you just don't know.

Kinda by definition. But even what you quote doesn't get me past the "science" blocker.

"in a closed economy".
You can stop reading there, there's nothing of relevance to the real world once you've made that over-simplifying assumption.
Having said that, you can stop reading one sentence earlier at "the science of economics", for obvious reasons.
Al Gore?
But, alas, he's a liar and a fraud. (And crank, possibly bordering on kook.)
Where you went wrong was assuming I have a furnace.

Fuck you. It's the only choice I have, where I live.

Thanks America - I knew I could rely on you! I'd like to see the OP's ups and downs.

Offensive or not? Functional or not?
A hegemony is by definition patriarchal.
What we want is a shegemony!
You guess wrong.
