I don’t think it’s completely unfair to say that the Neo is based on a chip that was first announced in Sep 2024 while the Intel chip is from Apr 2026. Also, I think the battery life most people are practically interested in is more like ru

> I wonder if someone could create a GitHub account using my name and claim ownership of them... AIUI the crates are actually linked to the account via a different identifier, not directly to the username.

GitButler now employs/has hired the gitoxide maintainer, I think? So no doubt they’re aware. I guess they found that gitoxide isn’t good enough and/or to expensive to extend/improve for their use cases?

A lot of Let’s Encrypt is not the software but a bunch of auditing and process that ensure compliance and make it legible to the required auditors.

That's the policy, but we've been a bit more conservative in practice. `main` currently targets 1.88, but that's only because a security issue in the time crate has forced our hand (one reason I don't like the time crate

I'd bet a supermajority of Swift commits comes from Apple developers. Pretty sure the rust-lang/rust commit authors would be much less centralized.

I think the way Rust checks borrows also makes it a lot more feasible to avoid allocations/copies; not because it is impossible to do in C, but because doing it in C requires writing very careful documentation and the caller to actuall

There’s also a compounding effect: I’ve heard from a hardware vendor that they spend a lot of time optimizing OpenSSL to get the most out of their silicon, so for their customers they suggest using OpenSSL to get the most out of the hardwar

How is the HiDPI situation, and font rendering? Last time I tried it on my M1 Max with Asahi it still looked substantially worse.

I'm pretty sure private PKIs are an option that is pretty straightforward to use. Security is still a lot better because the root is communicated out of band.

When I asked about financial support, the Senior Principal Software Engineer from Mozilla I talked to said "Mozilla has no money". To be fair, we've gotten a great amount of code contributions from the Mozilla folks, so it&#x

CRLite is awesome, and it deserves more usage; notably most non-browser clients on Linux machines don’t get any revocation handling at all.

Tauri seems interesting. It combines a Rust core with the platform-native browser engine for presentation. Of course a potential downside is rendering incompatibilities between engines/platforms.

No, they don’t. Selling support contracts is actually hard. GPL/AGPL preclude widespread adoption (these days) — the grandparent explicitly mentioned “permissive” licenses.

IIRC derive and attribute macros via declarative macro definitions are coming soon, which probably obviates this? https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/143549

We tried this when we were benchmarking and it was not significantly better than the Arc<RwLock<_>> that we're using now.
