Another weird thing is that `foo/` is a valid object name in s3, so you can have both `foo/` and `foo` be different files.
Re:Idiot Proof Git on Wednesday November 09, 2022 @12:19PM (#33534751)
This is off topic:

I have a dumb git question and I can never seem to formulate a google search that will help me.

I use a Mac and for some reason I am able to use `head` (lowercase) instead of `HEAD` (uppercase) in every command and its trained in my muscle memory.

So when I go to another computer, this shortcut isn't there, so when I type `git reset --hard head^` I get an error, and I have to go back and change it to `git reset --hard HEAD^`.

Anyone know of a configuration option or something somewhere that I can enable this?

I very much dislike the "glow" behind the videos now. Its constantly updating and very distracting.

You may want to check again, there is a date selector in the upper right of the page that allows you to choose between 5m, 30m, 1h, 3h, and 12h. There is also a Custom option which allows up to 4 weeks, or a calendar widget where you can choose any start and end date.

I am not in a regulated industry, but we have recently gone through the process of getting SOC2/ISO27001 certified.

This is what was cited for us.

ISO27001:2013 A.6.1.2: Segregation of Duties. Conflicting duties and areas of responsibility must be segregated in order to reduce the opportunities for unauthorized or unintentional modification or misuse of any of the organization's assets.

I'd be surprised if a company's legal department would be OK with that 0.1% risk.

I'd love to see this, with the added ability to whitelist specific SSL certs like ssh does with host keys.
