For low-level system security, I'm a fan of https://llsoftsec.github.io/llsoftsecbook/LLSoftSecBook.pdf as an overview for any systems developer, not just compiler devs. It might not be the most approachable, but it's got great info on everything memory corruption.

Because of our historical strength. If we drive people away, that just makes room for other contenders. How is that smart?


If we’d fix the green card caps so that Indian workers could get green cards we wouldn’t see as much abuse. The system is broken, so you’re suggesting break it further? The US benefits from a lot of smart immigrants, we should be making it EASIER, not harder, to attract and retain the best talent from all over the world. The United States is ceding its leadership here and we’re going to pay for that for generations.


It's back up now, sorry about that!


We haven't worked on C++ yet. Templates are the big issue, as a sibling comment speculates.


We didn’t benchmark this project (yet) but previous c2rust translations had approximately equal performance to the original. This is to be expected since the transpiled output is unsafe Rust that is equivalent to the original C code. One caveat is checked va unchecked array indexing, but unless an array indexing operation into a statically sized array is hot _and_ the Rust compiler can’t elide the checks, that’s unlikely to make much of a difference.


I love Blink, it’s perfect for a remote emacs session. I use esc for alt, capture CTRL-space. You may have to rebind some control sequences, I don’t have that handy, but almost everything gets passed through. Only thing I can think of that doesn’t is F key sequences, and that’s probably for lack of trying.

Edit: this is with an external keyboard. YMMV with the on screen keyboard, but I haven’t noticed any issues the few times I’ve done quick edits with it.


I believe they also want to support iOS which requires a BTLE token, not NFC which will work on Android devices.


Does that mean that it would support touch-verification on iOS?

[I bought half a dozen yubikeys with NFC last year for my family, setup and tested lastpass, extensively tested my android and PC... when it all fell flat on their iPhone. Whopsie!]


I'm very disappointed in this change. Having communication centralized in one place is important to me, and this means I cannot centralize on open, federated protocols.
