    This may discover services, but not hostnames. If the server does not disclose them (e.g. in the certificate used on the IP host), an attacker doesn't have much further to go on.

    Yeah moving objects would invalidate pointers passed to external code that's not controlled by Crystal.

    I'm a core developer of Crystal. All sponsorship contributions pay some development hours, so they're valuable to improve the project. Sponsors presentation is only based on their …

    I'm a core developer of Crystal. We've been wondering about why it's worth the money for these sponsors. The links ideally shouldn't have much effect because they're marked as `spo…

    I'm a core developer of Crystal. Crystal's dynamic nature is only in the source code. It generates highly optimized code thanks to LLVM codegen. So performance is generally compara…

    I'm a core developer of Crystal. Looks like something went very wrong there. The GC may not be super optimised, but it's still practical. I have never heard about such drastic perf…

    I'm a core developer of Crystal. Note that there are two different flavours of blocks in Crystal: inlined and captured ones. `return` and `break` are supported in inlined blocks.

    What's news about this? Aren't bioplastics based on lignin already a thing?

    That's basically how discussions work in Wikipedia (and other MediaWiki projects). Discussion pages are just a giant text file which anyone can edit fully. The only extra feature o…

    Crystal Core developer speaking. I don't think it's disproportionate. Windows is a huge platform with lots of developers. Also you don't hear anyone asking for other OS support bec…

    I bought the 1080p variant. It makes a great preview monitor for video signals, camera output etc. I'm considering buying a 4k version with touchscreen for travelling, which fits w…

    Getting hot has a lot of complexity, actually: How hot does it get? How can you select the temperature and how accurate is that selection? How well does it maintain the selected te…

    Yeah, there's a switch to select direction. But it activates by pressure. I'm either screwing a bunch of screws in or out, so it's not a big hassle to use the switch when you need …

    I bought a Bosch GO this year, my brother as well. Should be the same kind of tool. It drives the screw in (or out) if you apply pressure to it.

    Crystal core developer speaking: I think Crystal shines with these focus points, except 3. which needs some love (but it's on our radar). 1. C bindings are nice and easy 2. The int…
