We had a similar experience in Polars trying to use io_uring. Rust isn't inherently bad at io_uring but at least Tokio currently is. I'm not the one who implemented and benchmarked it so this is second-hand information but if I re

That's a nice story and all but it isn't a reality for most people. For most people on this planet it's work or starve on the street.

It is applicable to fast universal hashes like Poly1305 and Polymur (the latter of which I'm the author). However it's not clear to me whether this work improves over the state of the art for that purpose, see some questions here:

> If I look at actual incidence involving memory safety issues compared to supply chain issues in general, it is the later which is much a higher risk to me. Again, can you even just name a single supply chain attack that was *shipped* i

The above is a general rule protecting you against supply chain attacks by default. If there is an important CVE published with a patch you can manually review that patch and bypass the minimum-age requirement for that dependency specifical

Supply chain risks are essentially a solved problem. 1. Set a minimum age on dependencies: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/15973 2. Scan all dependency code with AI Even if you don't

If all you have a coin there is a simple algorithm that's equivalent to sorting by random real numbers in [0, 1]. 1. All players flips a coin. 2. Players that got heads go before players that got tails, forming (up to) two gr

Well... once my recent work on out-of-core lands the batch could be on disk when we run out of memory budget ;) But no, that's not what I meant. I meant that the batch is meant to be of a size that fits in your CPU cache. This can be

Streaming here has a different meaning than perhaps what you're used to. It's not referring to online processing where you maintain aggregates/state while an endless stream of data comes in. The name was chosen early on to co

If there was a continuous 500 watt GPU per person we'd increase energy consumption by more than double. The continuous energy footprint per person globally averages to 356 watt currently.

This is the opposite, it is further opting out of flexibility.

Isn't kind of the point of TLS that your communication doesn't get 'inspected'?

I think if you interpret it charitably it means that any bug in the emitted machine code is already a likely memory-unsafe miscompilation if it is ran. The compiler itself might be perfectly "memory safe" but the generated binary

That's a GCC skill issue. You can do it in five branchless instructions for unsigned by splitting the unsigned up in two 32-bit halves, converting those to floats simply by inserting their values as mantissa into constants 2^52 and 2^(

This is a dumb take. It's like not teaching kids 1 + 1 because a calculator can do it for them.

It seems like there aren't extra duties (anymore), but then again it's all very confusing and hard to navigate so who knows.

It's just a play on words, something lightweight drifts in the wind rather than gliding on a wing. It's really not all that deep.

It's called driftsort because it's derived from another sort I made, glidesort: https://github.com/orlp/glidesort . Glidesort is a bit faster still for large inputs, however it was too large and complex for in

Since pdqsort (an older project of mine) was mentioned, I felt it wouldn't be entirely inappropriate to mention that I've since then collaborated with Lukas Bergdoll to provide two high-quality sort implementations for the Rust st
