We @Agoric, including me and your former Mozillian @lotharrr, are saddened by the layoffs at Mozilla. Consider joining us to build open source solutions for a more secure JavaScript ecosystem, particularly around smart contracts. agoric.com/jobs/ #MozillaLifeboat

#rustlang Wishlist: `cargo depdoc` which is just like `cargo doc --open` except it *does not* try to build/doc the current crate, only dependencies. Motivation: frequently my crate fails to compile because I need to study dependency API docs, but `cargo doc` fails in this state.

Identity security is lazy security, it attempts to transform the difficulty of designing robust systems into the less difficult task of surveillance and policing bad behavior. I find it so boring, and the failure cases are always catastrophic.

Anyway, the reason we were in this sadness pit in the first place was to find out why they'd use straight RDRAND. And there it is. Not to waste the precious mythical entropy-that-runs-out, this legendary silver coloured fluid that leaks from pools. ENTROPY👏DOES👏NOT👏RUN👏OUT

It’s VERY IMPORTANT that we start calling the Year 2038 bug, where 32-bit Unix time overflows, The Epochalypse. Plz spread.

Send files up to 1G—2.5G with a free account—with Firefox Send. We made it, but you can use it on any browser! Choose when your link expires, the number of downloads, and whether you want to add a password for even more security. mzl.la/2XMrkVw
