Imagine you pay someone to save your family pictures but sometimes they save only half your data. Instead they try to upsell you on AI filters for your pictures. GitHub, return to your core mission.

This project's docs are way better than zsh.org, that's why. People actually find it informative and use it. Meaning you navigate to it, click around, put it on a side window, and use it while configuring zsh.

It may have better SEO as well, but the main point is that, to rise above the authoritative source, it actually also is performing way better in terms of user metrics.

Indeed was going to use a fine tuned endpoint on their enterprise contract regardless..

Focal length and aperture literally mean nothing for this instrument (camera). Telescopes are multi instrument and it’s the telescope plus instrument specific mounting configs that determine these. (Focal length is actually pointless except to make sure you design the light path correctly).

Aperture is talked about in the light collecting area of the mirror, and often summarized to its diameter. 8m class telescope, is a telescope with an approximately 8m diameter mirror.

Hubble is a little over 1m.

Other things matter way more for a telescope and are much more interesting.

He introduced a whole new testing framework then slowly put a backdoor in it over 2 years

You can find the GitHub events here, I compiled them into CSVs.

I literally run a git hook that fixes my commit times so I don’t look like a freak to my coworkers making commits at 3am, I think an actor of this caliber would too, so I would bet the git commit times are highly choreographed.

State actors get to invent people. Literally.

Time to start looking at similar cases for sure.

Absolutely not. Getting a job at any critical infrastructure software dev company is easier than contributing to the Linux kernel.

You can find GitHub events from the repo as a csv here https://github.com/emirkmo/xz-backdoor-github

If you are interested in the source code that is easy to find. This code and git repo are linked all over the world, in many git repos, and the source is bundled many times in releases as well.

Since GitHub disabled the repos.. I uploaded all GitHub Events from the two suspected users and from their shared project repo as easy to consume CSV files:

For those who want to see the GitHub events (commits, comments, pull_requets, diffs, etc.)

Really great stuff. It's a pain to do schema management with clickhouse when materialized views start coming into the picture.

What’s crazy to me is the fed hasn’t been raising rates out of the blue. What the fuck was this bank doing the last two years during every raise? They should have been rebalancing.

Their regulatory framework and finances are independent not the company itself
