Does Azure support ed25519 keys yet?

Is TCP + TLS still faster than QUIC, or do you mean TCP without encryption? (I'm assuming you're using Quinn with rustls, so encryption is always enabled.) I'm also curious about your m…

A bunch of effort has been invested in the Loongson target for Rust recently: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support/loo... …

I got a C1 too and apart from the crap software it also seemed like the camera isn’t actually (significantly) better than the MacBook Pro (M1) camera anyway.

I think Doctorow later was more explicit about the downsides of a Whuffie-like reputation systems, IIRC even in one of his fictional works?

I don’t think the newer ones (like Walkaway) are Free like the early ones?

The lack of support for TouchID for WebAuthn has been bugging me to no end. Making WebAuthn more accessible is such a big deal to help stop phishing. It also looks like there’s no priority for moving …

https://github.com/instant-labs/instant-distance is a compact, fairly readable, pretty fast implementation of the paper in Rust (that I built). We use it for searching aftermarke…

Of course Guido ended up not completing the "For Life" part -- neither his life nor the life of the language. (I think PEP 8016 is the one that started the steering council to take the place…

Somewhat specific to Linux, but this one comes to mind: https://itnext.io/modern-storage-is-plenty-fast-it-is-the-ap... …

Latency at higher percentiles (crappier internet connections) improves pretty meaningfully in most of the articles I've seen. Here's a recent one from Dropbox: https://dropbox.tec…

Given the progress of Asahi, Apple (desktop) hardware seems to be doing quite well on the openness front.

It’s a separate project. We’ll see if/when these new Rust-based versions become good enough for people to adopt as their daily driver sudo/su.

I wonder if the Thread/Matter standards will be able to improve on this once adopted. At least they provide open standards and don't require cloud components for supported devices to communi…

They were trying to get out in front of the NYT breaking the news of GMail, see The Social Radars podcast episode with Paul Buchheit ( https://www.thesocialradars.com/episodes , great e…

Wouldn’t it be more efficient to get a list of renewable certificates/domains per account, instead of having to fetch renewal info separately for each certificate?

I could see how they float to the top organically, so it might be just the unreplyable aspect that is automated?

N = 1, but at startup scale we have definitely not had a hard time hiring skilled Rust devs. Just go on /r/rust and advertise your (non-crypto) job and get a lot of inbound. (We were specifi…

A reminder that rustls exists, and leverages the Rust compiler to make sure no memory safety issues exist in your TLS implementation: https://github.com/rustls/rustls Some though…

The discussion about alternatives doesn't need to be related to switching under the timeline of a routine security release, right? I would say that every security release would increase activatio…

In NIP-04 I noticed that DMs can be encrypted using AES-CBC. IIUC, this is not a very robust mode for using AES. Seems surprising for a greenfield project.

Difference in EUR is also pretty crazy. My 16" M1 Max was about EUR 1000 cheaper than a similarly specced M2 Max, about a 28% increase.

Note that Apple is known er use Rust for some of its infrastructure and Google is adopting Rust in a big way in Android and Fuchsia.
