The killer feature of rust is rapid incremental improvement of the language. Every quarter something gets better.

EBPF is ridiculously awesome. It’s safe enough to jit in ring-0! We built a rust tool chain that can output ebpf elfs :). https://github.com/solana-labs/rust-bpf-builder

There is 0 evidence to suggest that private corporations wouldn’t have figured out the same thing. Or those same people sitting around at MIT wouldn’t have built the same thing without darpa. It’s not like “communication“ is an industry th

They are not actually hoarding “wealth”. No one is sitting on a pile of apartments, or ventilators, or college spots, or food distribution capacity. There is fixed amount of that stuff out there right now. If it was possible to produce ap

Amazing school! I was class of 2003. It was a really great combination of hard computer science topics along side close to the metal programming. I graduated proficient in Vim, C/C++, make, kernel driver development, digital control

A vast majority of deforestation for crop land occurs to feed the meat that we eat. How about this sweet car is only available to level 2 vegetarians and above?

I think we are getting to an age where reboots could be near instant.

Why not a trusted boot into a live CD that only runs the game?

It feels like we are saturated by messengers and social networks. Twitter, fb, slack, discord, matrix, signal, whatsapp, wechat, telegram... I am not sure what decentralization could bring there.

One could make the argument that treating animals poorly lowers the value of life. Kind of like if someone has a poorly maintained house in your neighborhood, it impacts the value of your house.

Work smarter not harder. Your brain should be sweating not your fingers. I worked at a Big Corp, and would often spend the day surfing or training for ironmen, and coding at the cafe shop between sessions. My reviews came back nearly the t

Unpopular opinion: Its a sign of the world becoming more liberal and free. These kinds of weapons don’t directly kill hundreds of thousands of people. It’s propaganda wars. Let’s hope all future wars are fought only on the internet.

It’s an open question if it is decidable to show that P=NP problem is decidable :). We may live in a universe where undecidable problems exist and it may not ever be possible no show that they are undecidable. Which imho is kind of beautifu

It’s a culmination of decades of research and implementation to mainstream Ring-0 OS kernels that are upgradable at runtime with untrusted userspace code.

It’s doesn’t have a stack pointer, just stack frames. So hardware that doesn’t implement a stack can execute BPF kernels.

BPF is an awesome VM. A huge thanks to Brendan on the work he has done to make it usable outside the kernel. We built a whole rust tool chain around it. https://github.com/solana-labs/rust-bpf-sysroot https:/&#x2

Crypto is the internet in 1996, and you are telling me I missed the train because SUN Microsystems is going to be the first trillion dollar company.

Sorry that is just plain wrong. As of 2019 support services are mostly outsourced to India/Philippines or other places. US call center jobs lost to chatbots vs India is negligible at this point. Redfin has a tiny fraction of real esta
