I'd much rather see Firefox use miTLS[0]. They already use HACL [1] (miTLS and HACL are part of Project Everest[2]) in NSS[3], so I don't think it would be too big of a leap. Rust is really cool, but if you want to ensure that th

Can't you just initialize everything at once before you need it rather than initializing one object here and there?

Well, epub is just special HTML. I don't think you strictly need JavaScript, but it's about the easiest way to work with and render HTML. And I imagine rendering PDF is a whole lot messier.

Well, technically (and as I'm sure you already know) pull requests are email-based[1] (they are used for Linux kernel development after all), so SourceHut already "supports" it. It could make sense to leverage that in the web

OpenNIC is still going strong and has alternative TLDs. Of course, the problem is that most people won't be able to resolve your domain.

As an alternative to manual scraping, you can use CommonCrawl[0] or other open data sets, such as those provided by AWS[1]. That should alleviate any legal concerns (I think. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm sure CommonCrawl and Amazon h

I imagine it would be possible to get Genode running on the Librem 5, which would be even more secure than Android. Only you'd be limited in what applications you can run. Still, even on Linux, you can set up SELinux or Apparmor to har

Not all fp languages are purely functional, and certainly not all lisps. In fact, the only lisp that I'm aware of that focuses on immutability is clojure. Granted, many lisp programmers may decide to keep their functions pure, but it&#

Oh, I'm aware that you can toggle it via sysctl, but it's still not on by default. That said, I can't find any user namespace CVE from 2019, only 2018, so maybe it's safe enough now. I guess "safe enough" is th

Apparently even user namespaces can't be trusted for secure isolation, so much so that Arch Linux even has them disabled by default[1]. That said, it's possible that security improved since then, and I don't know when the mos

Well, there's jq, which is perfect for that job, but unfortunately it's not a standard utility, and I'm not sure it ever will be, because we have to stick only with stuff invented in the 90's.

I'm not saying it's a replacement for either F# or OCaml, and I've only glanced at it, but F*[1] looks pretty neat. It's higher-level than F# (a lot) and has a syntax more similar to Haskell's. You can even extract
