Couldn't regular asymmetric encryption take care of that? Just encrypt each entry with the patient's public key. I think you only need homomorphic encryption if the transformation is something that the owner of data can't or

I think GraphQL might be unusually easy to accidentally get wrong. It handles very powerful untrusted input, by design. And it has enough features that many, maybe most users don't know about all of them. This vulnerability wouldn&#x27

The data was retrieved by mass-upvoting unpublished documents and using an obscure GraphQL feature to extract fields that aren't part of the explicit interface. I don't think you could do any part of that while assuming it's

> preallocating an exactly correct size result buffer Looks like it just uses the size of the original slice. If the average broken chunk is less than three bytes (maybe quite common?) then it'll have to grow the buffer, at least do

If join were a method on lists then you wouldn't be able to use it with other iterables. Putting it on str is more useful, if more confusing. Maybe it would be better as a standalone function. But then you'd either have to import

I'm also getting a 30% speedup simply from manipulating &PyList references instead of Vecs (without parallelism).

But the question remains: if you're a customer at a store that doesn't use a coin system, should you return your cart? It might be a fake solution in the sense that someone else has the power to solve it in a better way, but does

For errors the ? operator is both correct and easy most of the time. But for options it's trickier. Unless the surrounding function is structured just right, the equivalent to Typescript's and Kotlin's ? operator is .map()&#x

I don't know about those other languages, but Rust needs static type information to solve it (which Python doesn't have). Take this code: static NOT_FOUND: i32 = 404; match 403 { NOT_FOUND => println!("Not foun

Isn't Nim's niche closer to Go's than to Rust's? It has garbage collection, at least by default.

curl is very widely used, including on platforms that Rust doesn't support. Broad support is perhaps its killer feature. A rewrite would introduce new bugs, even if they aren't memory issues. The rewrite could end up buggier than

GNU grep is so fast that it set the bar for later implementations. In your second link ripgrep is even marketed as having "the raw performance of GNU grep" (though it managed to exceed it).

I don't think it's a good measure of overall quality. But if the writing became less crisp (as the article claims) I'd expect the score to change.

Assigning blame is a bit academic. I think a protocol that used integers instead of decimal point would have led to more correct implementations. So it would be a better protocol.
