A branch is just a pointer, not a group.

When you say "the public key for that root certificate is hosted in our private DNS", does that mean the public key is in.. a txt record?

Ayup.

I found cscope essential when working with a 10+M loc C codebase. I wish there were more cscope like tools for other languages, easy to setup and editor agnostic.

git grep has worked wonders for me, even with C++

Does HN have RSS feeds?

You might benefit from looking through recent conference talks, they are nicely organized in https://pyvideo.org/

Search topics you want to find out and see what’s being presented in the years you’ve been out of the loop.

Thanks, didn’t know about py video. I will take a look!

Spotify’s discover weekly and release radar playlists which are personalized. Those two playlists make the subscription worth it for me.

For specific/niche things, certain subreddits get a fair amount of posts. I suggest reverse searching links to music you enjoy instead of trying to look up a particular sub.

Hype machine and soundcloud also help a bit.

From the linked pdf in the footnotes, looks like they are rolling their own network protocol:

"At launchtime, the VPN protocol will be a Google proprietary protocol; however, to ensure a high throughput while minimizing battery consumption, we will soon adopt IPsec as the data tunnel protocol due to its native support in Android.

We may eventually use other protocols, such as Wireguard, as their native support improves or on platforms where no specific protocols have a specific advantage."

You probably would be considering this opens a vector for account takeover if both auth identifiers are “lost” and you switch emails to a new one. Hope changing that is tied to sending some kind of notification to the original email when that happens, with instructions to undo.

To prevent getting there in the first place, could you do the type of “is this info still alright?” as part of the login flow every now and then? May reduce some of the cases at least.

If this happens just too often, you may need to ask for another means of contact info. Additional email/phone, which should all be pinged whenever auth info changes.

Recently a lot of tweets in the front page, 5 tweets on the frontpage on the same day even just last week[1]

Can't help but think hn now showing the username for some domains including twitter is increasing the submissions somehow? Or maybe people just engage more in discussion around tweets lately.

Some comments here seem to focus on the “Future deprecation notice” of the ssh-rsa signatures. That’s been there for a few releases this year, still not in effect.
