I imagine the industry will settle on H/1.1 for backward compatibility and simplicity, and H/3 for performance.

I think it's just that hundreds of TCP connections per user can really bog down the servers. Individual TCP connections are much more expensive than QUIC streams. QUIC also handles things like transparent IP-address switching (on eithe

The "goto fail" bug isn't a great example; Rust actually does specifically guard against this by requiring curly braces around the body of "if". Here's an explanation of "goto fail", which includes

I'm only familiar with Rust's async story, though I think the following probably applies to other languages as well. Switching async tasks should have a smaller overhead than switching threads. A context switch involves giving con

Wow, I'm not sure how I got the pricing so wrong. I remember visiting the rsync.net pricing page to check. I'd edit/delete my GP comment if I could. To be clear, is the $25/TB/month quoted with or without the HN dis

$100/TB/month is significantly more expensive than the standard object storage options. Backblaze is $5/TB/month, for example. For personal file backup, you only need a fairly reliable object storage system. And Backblaz

Oops! I'd fix it but apparently it's too late.

Haha well I did try (unsuccessfully) to give a little context in a comment when I posted it, pointing people to Asuran. But that was immediately buried by far more interesting comments. Next time it will be title text.

Not my blog. Author works on a backup/archival tool called "Asuran", which I assume motivates a lot of the research into AEAD. I had never heard of the "partitioning oracle" attack, which is a really interesting way

Keep an eye out for the Pinephone Pro. https://www.pine64.org/pinephonepro/ It's still not crazy-fast, but it's definitely more competitive than the original PinePhone. > Rockchip RK3399S 64bit SoC – 2x A7

No real issues other than our own lack of experience with PyO3. I'd say the biggest gamble is spending the time to get it set up. Once we got it running, it was smooth sailing. We're calling Rust from Python. Haven't tried it

The "default" formula as presented in the article seems… strange. Is this really how it's normally taught? (-1)^S * 1.M * 2^(E - 127) This seems unnecessarily confusing. And 1.M isn't notation I've seen bef

We used PyO3 at $work to expose a Rust implementation of a compute-intensive algorithm to an existing Python codebase. The teammate who did it had been using Rust only for a couple months and none of us had ever used PyO3. He got it done in

Will multi-homed accounts make it a lower-stakes decision to choose a homeserver? Right now, it feels like it's semi-permanent. That makes it somewhat difficult to onboard new people to the platform. I'd like to be able to say, &q

It's a lot easier to format code arbitrarily when a language is whitespace-independent. For example, to do method chaining across multiple lines, Python requires parentheses around the whole chain. That's a quirk of being a whites

RON (Rusty Object Notation) is another good one. The name is slightly unfortunate, since it seems applicable outside Rust projects.

Do you purchase a license for Anaconda? Last time I checked, it seemed like conda required a license for professional use. I may have misread it though.
