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.…

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 …

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'…

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 da…

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." I…

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…

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…

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. B…

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 …

I learned I can even do hexadecimal under pressure, with no warning!

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…

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 a…

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…

How exactly did he lose $100,000,000?

Was I the only one who thought these were going to be normal fonts with some of the letters switched around?

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 N…
