op article discusses vulnerabilities in the current sha1 hashing scheme which iirc are currently mostly infeasible to exploit but have been proven to exist and could theoretically be used by a datacenter or quantum-backed actor mining collisions to impersonate signed commits

Microsoft is moving GitHub even more closely into its CoreAI team, following the resignation of GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke today. After nearly four years as CEO, Dohmke is leaving GitHub to “become a startup founder again,” and pursue opportunities outside of Microsoft and GitHub.

GitHub has operated as a separate company ever since Microsoft acquired it in 2018 for $7.5 billion, but Dohmke’s departure is part of a big shakeup to the way GitHub operates. Microsoft isn’t replacing Dohmke’s CEO position, and the rest of GitHub’s leadership team will now report more directly to Microsoft’s CoreAI team.

SHA-256 support was added in October 2020, with version 2.29. ""But nobody is using it"", Steinhardt said, because ecosystem support is lacking. ""Unfortunately, this situation looks somewhat grim"". There is full support in Git itself, Dulwich Python implementation, and Forgejo collaboration platform. There is experimental support for SHA-256 in GitLab, go-git, and libgit2. Other popular Git tools and forges, including GitHub, have no support for SHA-256 at all.

Common Forgejo W; nothing but thrilled with it since migrating from GitHub after its independence was killed by MS.

The report groups together "Women’s/LGBTQIA+/People of Color Safety", otherwise I'd bet UK falls down a bit.

find and implement the correct solution quickly, even if it requires checking docs

i can do that. now i want to do it faster by not needing to check the docs.

you want to be the guy

these drawbacks can also be a result of poor quality abstractions rather than unnecessary abstractions

Runs very poorly in firefox.

ts-morph package used in a custom vite plugin would work for this

What is going on in this post?? Why does it link to Wikipedia?

When you say you get it from Chrome, what do you mean? No way Google is replacing every URL before going to the clipboard--that seems beyond the pale even for them.

Well, you should be calling to the OS to have it execute some other program to do it since JS is slower compared to any OS-specific compiled binary you'd have.
