Thank you. I see. I'm looking now at how to load DOOM WAD files in Rust ( https://github.com/bjt0/rs_wad/blob/master/src/wad.rs#L105 ) as an example, and I see it uses your method (even if it see

> in Rust you need to implement (de)serializing logic Hmm. Well that sucks. It might be slower than reading into a struct directly (does more IO calls, there is more code to execute, probably uses more memory). My focus is on embedded ap

As I said, I don't know much about NFTs and I was just commenting out of curiosity. I have no stakes in NFTs. But if the problem is legal (and not technological) then it may be just a matter of time, given enough adoption. Much like Bi

I don't know much about NFTs, but I understand it as a sort of "certificate" (?). Like buying the rights of an old album; an album for which the original is lost. I might receive some piece of paper that says the songs are no

I kind of agree with you, but just because it creates a precedent. If Blizzard allows a political statement, then now they have to allow other political statements too. As a result, they will have to "regulate" which political sta

Well... a "Microsoft Visual Rust" (integrated with Visual Studio) could be all the motivation I'm looking for to finally learn, mmmm, not learn but to finally put Rust at serious use. With everything integrated like, you know

Thank you. Blocking IPC is a very interesting approach but you have to carefully plan ahead, even before writing the first lines of code. I think the above article missed the "notifications" part. Without notifications, a blocking

It's not a tag but a keyword search. I don't know projects entirely written in Rust (other than single crates) to look for (by name). So probably there are more Rust-based vulnerabilities around than the ones from the Mitre query
