10 Years of Git: An Interview with Git Creator Linus Torvalds (Linux.com) Linux.com talks
with Linus Torvalds about the development of Git. " Just to pick
an example: the concept of 'merging' was generally considered to be
something really quite painful and hard in most SCM's. You'd plan your
merges, because they were big deals. That's not acceptable to me, since I
commonly do tens of merges a day when in the merge window, and even then,
the biggest overhead shouldn't be the merge itself, it should be testing
the result. The 'git' part of the merge is just a couple of seconds, it
should take me much longer just to write the merge explanation
message." | | 5:07p |

Linux Australia server breach Linux Australia has reported
a breach on the Conference Management (Zookeepr) hosting server. This server hosted the conference systems for linux.conf.au 2013, 2014 and 2015, and for PyCon Australia 2013 and 2014. " The database dumps which
occurred during the breach include information provided during conference
registration - First and Last Names, physical and email addresses, and any
phone contact details provided, as well as a hashed version of the user
password. As Zookeepr uses a third party credit card payment gateway for
credit card processing, the database dumps do not contain any credit card
or banking details." |
