This is what we will get from these riots: - Massive tax increases - Less tourism - Economy will get worse - Price increases - No more investments in the suburbs - Less libraries and other free services - More surveillance - More police - R

Leaks like crazy on macOS. For WebAssembly plugins, I also wish they used Extism, which is kinda the de facto standard for this.

Have you actually looked at it/tried to contribute to it? Servo was a promising experiment, but it eventually became a massive, complicated, unmaintainable mess.

Not really. All modern JS engines, including V8 that Node uses, include excellent JIT compilers. Also, HTTP serving in Node uses code written in C, not JS. That being said, Node is slow compared to Bun: https://bun.sh

Depends on your use cases. The reason I love Go are: - Simplicity and readability - Batteries included: projects don't have to depend on too many 3rd party dependencies - Same code can be easily compiled to many different architectures

The Zig compiler itself is a good example: https://kristoff.it/blog/zig-self-hosted-now-what/ "The new self-hosted compiler reduces memory usage 3x compared to the old C++ implementation"

For scale, the 8086 had 29,000 transistors.

And then you may just have introduced side channels in crypto code.

Even Google doesn't enable DNSSEC. In the future, ECH may become a justification for enabling it, though.

The most common attack against DNS is actually people's registrar accounts being compromised. That even happened to Google. This is used a ton by malware authors, who silently add records to host malicious websites on benign domain nam

> DNSCrypt? Sounds good, but the server key is published in the NS record, which gets published in the old cleartext DNS What is published in DNS records are the public certificates, not their signatures.

If you use Argon2 with 2 KiB, there's something really wrong with your parameters.

An algorithm that requires a ton of memory doesn't really make sense for web applications IMHO. bcrypt and bscrypt are better choices.

by jedisct1 3y ago
bscrypt is a modern alternative to bcrypt; also cache-hard and more suitable than Argon2 and Scrypt: cache-hard, easier to deploy on multi-user environments, as well as web browsers/mobile devices. https://github.com/Sc

Zig hasn't reached 1.0 yet, but in my experience, it's stable enough to write code that has to be maintained long term.

zig cc has great defaults, which includes UB sanitizers. Quite a few projects had bugs found and fixed just by compiling them with zig cc instead of gcc or clang.

This is not due to autoconf. It's faster than the `make` command, i.e. after autoconf has generated everything. Building the tests, in particular is instant with zig, not with make. It may still be autoconf, but not the configure phase

libsodium is written in C and Assembly, but uses Zig as an alternative to autoconf/make/etc. Builds are much faster than with make, and it makes it very easy to cross-compile to other platform, includes Windows, Linux with speci
