Even in the worst case benchmark the new strategy is only about half as slow as an insecure random number generator. However most benchmarks were much closer. Go is doing the right balance between safety and performance for the standard lib

As a Xoogler one of the things I miss the most was srcfs/CitC(client in the cloud). It worked exactly as you were describing and also brought some very useful features including transparent read access to other users clients and time m

I get so confused - does the state want us to think there are webs of nefarious pedophiles that must be rooted out at any cost or is that a conspiracy theory? A free society cannot exist if people are not free to communicate privately. If t

The overworked solo maintainer is a problem. However I've seen way too many projects where individuals in the 'team' are able to carve out impenetrable fiefdoms where they can operate with wide latitude. I could see a Jia Tan

It would be a net benefit to employees, customers, industry and society to break up FAANGs and other multi hundred billion dollar companies. These entities struggle to innovate past a certain size. That'd be fine by itself but their en

This is not an API. It's the handling of writes to memory the process has protected. In the past this would generate a signal the process could handle and recover from. Now it generates a sigkill which is uncatchable / unrecoverab
