The naming makes perfect sense to me, the sorting algorithm is size, both for the names and for the models themselves. Smaller things represent smaller models, and vice versa.
People are going to be running pull or push much more than clone, and will often be running those without opening the origin on Safari.
This makes me curious to know if CDPLAYER.EXE would still work (unmodified, without extra DLLs) with a real CD-ROM drive if you ran it on a Windows 11 machine with one installed.
And I don't think or know Latin either, but these are pretty universally known words even outside of Latin (besides maybe astra, although "astral" is very close so you should be able to figure it out).
There's also a bunch of previous hackernews discussions about it:

And you obviously have no reason to believe me, but I was following this when it was happening at the start of this year and can confirm that the DDoS script and archive text replacements really did happen.
They bulk replaced one string (a name) with another one across many archived pages, and added malicious code to all archive pages that would rapidly send requests to gyrovague.com in an attempt to DDOS them.
How so? In what scenario would you ever need to use a sequence like <tab><space><tab> in indentation in your source code? Let alone using esoteric Unicode whitespace characters for indentation. I think it is perfectly reasonable for the language to make the restriction that indentation must be either all tabs, tabs followed by spaces, or all spaces.
Not saying I would prefer it, just explaining what the article says.
