We have exactly one service written in Rust, our multiplayer server. This server needs to hold documents in-memory that can get quite large, and Rust's memory management + concurrency capabilities were well suited for the problem. It's explained here: https://www.figma.com/blog/rust-in-production-at-figma/
Reminds me of Fukyama's "Political Order and Political Decay", but in a more contemporary and narrow context. Interesting thought bubble, thanks for the read!
Seems like there's pent up demand for more hacker stuff on mobile! :) I wonder what this could mean for the direction of the mobile paradigm (move towards fewer walled gardens like app stores please?)
Would love Stripe to handle bank transfers as a payment method!
Many of our customers prefer this method over card payments. Then Stripe would fully cover our payment use-case; I'd love to use Stripe alone for payment, analytics and security. Right now we can't :(
You are aware that your link itself spells out that they aren't finished and still use a root cert with seven owners? There are likely more people involved in the decision making process at ICANN. But, yeah, lets migrate our critical infrastructure to some in progress project "as soon as possible". I mean it has electrolytes^W block-chain in it, that is what plants^W security experts crave, right?
Good (paywalled, unfortunately) article on China using this as a way to move the infrastructure to depend on Huawei-owned patents so they can cash in on that work.
