"The Algorithm". I'm sorry, but this is just embarrassing.

@d10d @fribbledom i know that you can "inject" fake commits by forking a github repo, adding a crafted commit to your fork, and then crafting a URL on the main repo with your specific commit hash. Due to internal details, Github will happily display your commit. So, without any additional proof, it seems to be more fake than real :-s

@tgoldoin @d10d

Nah, this isn't fake. It's been part of the original release, but they quickly wiped the branch's history.

@fribbledom @d10d Indeed, it seems I was wrong, as this subject is heavily discussed on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35391433
