Let's Encrypt (along with the coauthors of https://abetterinternet.net/documents/letsencryptCCS2019.pdf and many other contributors). Now the world's largest public certificate authority!
I created http://tetration.org which explores what lies beyond exponentiation. My life's work has been to extend the Ackermann function to the complex numbers and matrices. I believe my website lead to a renaissance in tetration research. The following Mathematica code replaces a thousand lines of earlier code. It computes the flows from maps. Combined with the historic three argument Ackermann function it allows the…
Are there applications?
I've spent the last 6-7 years making autonomous aircraft that deliver medical supplies in various African countries. Probably a hundred thousand deliveries or so have been for emergency blood transfusions, typically for women that hemorrhaged during labor. So that's got to be quite a few lives/families saved!
When the big earthquake in Nepal happened in 2015, I was working with a volunteer organization called Translators Without Borders to help with translation during relief efforts. Since I was in the USA I could not contribute back physically, so this was the next best thing.

Which is funny, because it's just a blog post that we chopped up into email challenges because I didn't want to give [redacted] a bunch of new terminology to use against me in stupid Twitter slapfights. Dumb reason, good outcome. https://cryptopals.com/
I've been off HN a while with a new life (see profile). In case I didn't, I wanted to make sure I apologized to you for being such a troll on here. You and anyone else. I hope you're all doing well. I've prayed God blesses all of you, your families, and grants you the forgiveness and eternal life of Jesus Christ. :)

> Meta's backend operating system for the last 7 years Sounds interesting, I had no idea Facebook had their own OS - presumably a Debian derivative?
No, it's completely built from source, and finely tuned to the vast/quite homogeneous hardware, and deployment model. Though yes it is Linux based.
Or is it just the kernel with a totally new/different userland from a normal “Linux” box?
