Not really internet-related, but I prefer donating to local initiatives run by people I trust, usually directed to improving people's lives (health, education, etc). These projects are not "famous", but have a noticeable impa

What the OP proposes is not exactly a bigger stdlib, because they mention it should have "relaxed stability guarantees". Or is python allowed to change their stdlib in backwards-incompatible ways?

I faced a related dilemma when I finished my CS degree: to work as a full-stack dev or to work on more foundational technology (and actually use what I learned in my degree). My experience is that the "foundational technology" are

I've thought about this (albeit not for that long) and it seems like you'd need a non-trivial revamp of how we communicate with the operating system. For instance, allowing a library to "read from a stream" sounds safe u

There are some voices trying to address this security risk (e.g. the proponents of this new RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3810 ). However, for some reason (probably culture) there isn't much

Some people _do_ care about this (e.g. the proponents of this new RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3810 ). However, for some reason (culture, I guess?) there isn't much momentum yet to change t

Actually, a proposal for exactly this was published yesterday: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3810 It's unfortunate that the response so far hasn't been very positive

Good luck in your adventure! By the way, I think many people here on HN (myself included) would love to help you out if you get stuck / are struggling to get started / want a code review / want to chat about programming. Just

Thanks for the example! It has helped me understand better the use case of AEAD for at-rest-encrypted-data. I finally updated the example to a new one, though it's still message-based (it fits the rest of the article better). If I had

Thanks for the kind words! I'm trying to balance pragmatism with depth. Glad it was useful to you ;)

It looks like I actually got the example wrong, sorry about that! Somehow I assumed that the server was able to authenticate the receiver id, but as you correctly point out, that would require knowing the encryption key. I'll have to t

I've been pretty disappointed with eStargz performance, though... Do you have any numbers you can share? All over the internet people refer to numbers from 10 years ago, from workloads that don't seem realistic at all. In my exper

FWIW, Fred Brooks has a quote that is similar in spirit to the one you mentioned. It's in Chapter 1, The Tar Pit (under the title The Joys of the Craft ): > Finally, there is the delight of working in such a tractable medium. The

That's what I thought originally, but you can actually use ` https://<your-bucket>.s3.amazonaws.com ` without Cloudfront or other service on top (it wasn't easy to find in the AWS docs, but it works)
