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 li…

> 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 …

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/improv…

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…

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 writi…

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 t…

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 c…

I would argue that regexes are often more complex than simple parsers.

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 eng…

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

Does this work on macOS? On mobile (Firefox on iOS) why does this site keep putting animations in my face?
