Have never touched WASM before, but have to since recently. Here you'll find a survey where people (~300 respondents) answer which languages they compile to WASM, why they do that, what they're missing, etc.

This researcher has checked terminal emulators for vulnerabilities, and I must say, their findings make me paranoid as hell. For example, launch some server and stare at its logs, receive some smart request, oopsie, RCE.

An attempt to try Moore's law on zero knowledge proofs. Main idea is that zkp effectiveness grows too, but it happens in discreet jumps. So it's better to design your systems in a way that allows to swap proving schemes on the go.

CRDT series continues. No more details on the algorithm itself, but there are posts:
on how to build a toy pixel art editor with it: https://t.co/IgR1XIqMue
on various strange optimizations for the amount of data transferred: https://t.co/4eHrqgKXUo

Beautiful! Where do you host some malicious code so that it can't be deleted? That's right, on a public blockchain! Anyone can write and read, and there's no way to remove data from it.

An astonishing one-liner: getaddrinfo() from glibc (which is, surprise-surprise, used not only in C and C++) reads environment variables, so pray that no setenv() calls will happen in your multithreaded program.

Cursorless - edit code with voice. I've posted about it some time ago. This time the creator gave a talk at Strange Loop, there you'll find some basics of this approach. Very strange still, but it's cool that it lives and evolves.

It's hard to say what this talk is about. Let me sum it up like this: "there's a lot of complexity in tech around us, we're all struggling, don't worry, it's okay to understand only a part of the whole thing".
