I was curious when the famous programmers do their work. And it is quite easy to find. The result of programmers work is a code. Code is stored in version control systems (VCS). When you put code in VCS the time is record. One of the most popular version control system is git. When you put code in it you create the thing called “commit”. Here is an example of raw information about some git commit: $ git cat-file commit 82be015 tree 496d6428b9cf92981dc9495211e6e1120fb6f2ba author Ivan Bessarabov <ivan@bessarabov.ru> 1563188141 +0300 committer Ivan Bessarabov <ivan@bessarabov.ru> 1563188141 +0300 Initial commit Here you can…

In a heavily redacted report released by the Senate Intelligence Committee today says Russians targeted election systems in all 50 US states ahead of the 2016 elections. This shows a much larger impact than previous reports (which separately noted that 21 states, and then 39 states were affected) as targets of the Russian interference.
