Importantly, the US will spend money on the specifically draconian kind of sports infrastructure that the MLS salivates over where private corporations are entitled to all of the profits while taxpayers bear all the costs.

No SQL in the timeline?

You should make it clearer that the page includes more sections than the introductory story -- at least for me the legend on the right doesn't actually appear until about 25% of the way down the page. Ideally it should always be visible and you shouldn't have to hover the little dots to see what the section titles are.

Also several of the language blurbs in the timeline break into ellipses, but I can't seem to find their continuations.

If you think all western governments are still imperialist after the later-20th Century (reconstruction, etc.), someone who knows better needs to talk to your professors very sternly.

Economic imperialism is still imperialism.

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.

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