「 As the name suggests, with purely functional programming, the developer can write only pure functions, which, by definition, cannot have side effects. With this one restriction, you increase stability, open the door to compiler optimizations, and end up with code that’s far easier to reason about 」

「 It doesn’t bother me much that bleeding-edge ML technology sometimes gets things wrong. It bothers me a lot when it gives no warnings, cites no sources, and provides no confidence interval.

I’m unconvinced that this smoothed-out voice from nowhere deserves our attention 」

「 Most of us, if we found ourselves trudging up 21 flights of stairs, would just get pissed off and leave it there. But Hoare decided to do something about it. He opened his laptop and began designing a new computer language, one that he hoped would make it possible to write small, fast code without memory bugs. He named it Rust, after a group of remarkably hardy fungi that are, he says, “over-engineered for survival.” 」

「 The software inside devices like elevators is often written in languages like C++ or C, which are famous for allowing programmers to write code that runs very quickly and is quite compact. The problem is those languages also make it easy to accidentally introduce memory bugs—errors that will cause a crash.

Microsoft estimates that 70% of the vulnerabilities in its code are due to memory errors from code written in these languages 」

「 It’s enjoyable to write Rust, which is maybe kind of weird to say, but it’s just the language is fantastic. It’s fun. You feel like a magician, and that never happens in other languages 」

Parker Timmerman, software engineer

「 It wouldn’t require programmers to manually figure out where in memory they were putting data; Rust would do that. But it would impose many strict rules on how data could be used or copied inside a program.

You’d have to learn those coding rules, which would be more onerous than the ones in Python or JavaScript. Your code would be harder to write, but it’d be “memory safe”—no fears that you’d accidentally inserted lethal memory bugs 」

「 But as speedy as they are, languages like C and C++ come with a trade-off. They require the coder to keep careful track of what memory is being written to, and when to erase it. And if you accidentally forget to erase something? You can cause a crash: the software later on might try to use a space in memory it thinks is empty when there’s really something there. Or you could give a digital intruder a way to sneak in 」

「 There is also AMD performance/power-efficiency benefits too with Linux 6.3 for newer platforms with the new AMD P-State EPP driver landing and in particular can benefit AMD Ryzen laptops 」

「 To Raskin, our human needs revolved around text. We want to write (in text), crunch numbers (text, again), communicate (yup, text), and code (esoteric text, but text all the same). That was the most you could expect of computers in the ’80’s. Three decades later, it’d still be the rarest of days if you touched a computer and didn’t interact with text at all.
Computing for the rest of us, that’s what Raskin set out to build 」

「 From a “purely technical point of view,” Sandvik found Pegasus “fascinating.” Here was malware that could hack into someone’s device without their knowledge, finding ways to leverage already installed apps and bugs in the Apple and Android operating systems. “I’d always thought something like Pegasus was within the realm of possibility,” she said. But how NSO Group made it work was like nothing she’d ever seen 」

「 War of the Worlds. Nishikado remembered the 1953 film from his childhood and became inspired by various media depictions of the invaders, which often resembled sea life. “I based a new target on an octopus, and since it was now an alien, there was no problem shooting it,” he says 」
