@tylertrails does your contact at foundation know how far the wallets are in for implementing this rfc, now that it's stabilized?

1/ sRFC 38 defines version 1 of off-chain message signing for Solana. It removes legacy constraints that made preparing messages for hardware wallet signing confusing and standardizes a format that works across all signing devices. Here's what changed and why it matters 🧵
English
@_snaerr I saw your recent PR about Solana message signing. Am I understanding correctly that this is currently just a shitshow? I can't find any way to support offchain message signing that works for browser and hardware wallets without horrible UX or many many code paths.

> kernel32 performs various path transformations as it passes filenames from user programs to ntdll and the kernel
this can be reimplemented. unfucking the err handling, less so
> They bypass libc and go straight to the kernel, breaking LD_PRELOAD shims Linux users rely on
linux has a stable syscall abi. LD_PRELOAD is a massive hack. would you argue against certificate pinning in favour of allowing users to mitm themselves?

This is weapons-grade nonsense - there are about ~302348334 ways this will subtly fuck you over, everything from path canonicalization to WOW64 issues to TLS and SEH handling. No one should use zig for anything tbh.

@ludwigABAP in my experience it anxiously ruminates in circles to eventually do what opus does in a few prompts

one of the gnarliest tricks i've seen in rust is preventing deadlocks *at compile time*
Peter Schmidt-Nielsen@ptrschmdtnlsn
I think it might be fun to make a mutex library where you must give every mutex a u32 priority, and you are only allowed to acquire mutexes of strictly higher priority than any your thread currently holds, with crashes if you violate this rule. This completely prevents deadlocks.

@joseph_h_garvin imo I think it's very likely that chatbots will be better writers and compose more interesting stories than a lot of humans relatively soon (within 10 years) and his argument for why they won't, that they sample from the median, probably isn't gonna hold up

@tetsuo_cpp @LiamKearney99 otoh more data can help find ways to help them

@LiamKearney99 Also mental health conditions. Some of them carry a *lot* of stigma so that can be pretty sensitive.

For men: what is actually private about your health data that you’re worried about sharing?
I may not use this out of principle but I haven’t been adverse to sharing my health data in the past.
I guess the game changes when you have conditions related to shit,sex and piss lol?

As an amateur rust systems programmer (lol), I really question the utility of rust for more general purpose programming.
Idiomatic rust allocates *a lot*. Think Vec<String>, collecting iterators, etc. Are you not then better off with a modern GC where allocations are cheaper?

I wish vendors would just point to where they are on the chart rather than use vague words like "strongly consistent".
Gergely Orosz@GergelyOrosz
On 1 Dec 2020, AWS S3 announced that all writes to S3 are now strongly consistent (not eventually consistent, like before) *at no price change or latency changes* to any customers. Pulling this off was probably one of the biggest invisible engineering achievements of the decade
