How is git commit sha1 formed

(The below text is licensed with CC0, which means that if you want to use or translate it, that is OK by me.)

Ok, I geeked out, and this is probably more information than you need. But it completely answers the question. Sorry. ☺

Locally, I'm at this commit:

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

Falsehoods programmers believe about prices

  1. You can store a price in a floating point variable.
  2. All currencies are subdivided in 1/100th units (like US dollar/cents, euro/eurocents etc.).
  3. All currencies are subdivided in decimal units (like dinar/fils)
  4. All currencies currently in circulation are subdivided in decimal units. (to exclude shillings, pennies) (counter-example: MGA)
  5. All currencies are subdivided. (counter-examples: KRW, COP, JPY... Or subdivisions can be deprecated.)
  6. Prices can't have more precision than the smaller sub-unit of the currency. (e.g. gas prices)
  7. For any currency you can have a price of 1. (ZWL)
  8. Every country has its own currency. (EUR is the best example, but also Franc CFA, etc.)

Pure Lua json library.
--[[ json.lua
A compact pure-Lua JSON library.
The main functions are: json.stringify, json.parse.
## json.stringify:
This expects the following to be true of any tables being encoded:
* They only have string or number keys. Number keys must be represented as
strings in json; this is part of the json spec.

Examples of creating constrained types in F#
// General hints on defining types with constraints or invariants
//
// Just as in C#, use a private constructor
// and expose "factory" methods that enforce the constraints
//
// In F#, only classes can have private constructors with public members.
//
// If you want to use the record and DU types, the whole type becomes
// private, which means that you also need to provide:
// * a constructor function ("create").
