  • shrug To each their own, I guess.

    I can definitely appreciate that opinion, I just… disagree. I don’t really give 2 shits about a file having some stuff in it that I don’t personally use, so long as it still has a purpose. I.E. I’ll take a little clutter in a file like that, that basically never gets looked at or edited, over the chance of cluttering up the repo itself, or PRs, or history with stuff that has no purpose at all.





  • What you describe seems sound, but I’d say you need a final “decrypt and confirm” pass on each matched result, to work around the hash collisions, especially if you only store partial hashes, like you describe (which also seems sound).

    Also, depending on your database implementation (whether it has good text-search-indexing support), it might make more sense to not recombine the hashed tokens, and instead store them in a 1-to-many mapping table.
