a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Thinking about 'meta' torrent file format.

Let's say I've downloaded big file using torrent. Then add very small file and recreate new torrent file. Like subtitle.

Now two torrent files are totally different file to machine. Tracker and torrent client would treat them different torrent. Of course we don't need duplicate original data file for multi seeding. But seeders and leechers split by two torrent file. They don't know about they have exact same file. Torrent client and tracker cannot connect people for exact same data. We have split share pool for exact same file. It's not efficient. More seeders, more speed.

Let's say original torrent file is 1.torrent.

Sorry, RSA, I'm just not buying it

I want to be extremely clear about three things. First, this is my personal opinion – insert full standard disclaimer. Second, this is not a condemnation of everyone at RSA, present and past. I assume most of them are pretty okay, and that the problem is confined to a few specific points in the company. However, “unknown problem people making major decisions at RSA” is a bit unwieldy, so I will just say RSA. Third, I'm not calling for a total boycott on RSA. I work almost literally across the street from them and I don’t want to get beat up by roving gangs of cryptographers at the local Chipotle.

RSA's denial published last night is utter codswallop that denies pretty much everything in the world except the actual allegations put forth by Reuters and hinted at for months by [other sources](http://li
