Software written in unsafe languages often contains hard-to-catch bugs that can result in severe security vulnerabilities, and we take these issues seriously at Google. That’s why we’re expanding our collaboration with the Internet Security Research Group to support the reimplementation of critical open-source software in memory-safe languages. […]

The ISRG's approach of working directly with maintainers to support rewriting tools and libraries incrementally falls directly in line with our perspective here at Google.

The new Rust-based HTTP and TLS backends for curl and now this new TLS library for Apache httpd are an important starting point in this overall effort.

What is a patent? A patent is the government incentivizing innovation by encouraging inventors. It does this by spending people’s freedom — it gives the inventor the right to prevent other people from making or using that invention for a period of time.

Similarly, the government spends people’s money to make a highway. You want the government to make highways. But if the government is spending $20 billion per kilometer of highway, you might say, “Wait a second. I want you to spend some, but not too much.” When highways cost too much — when one kilometer costs $17 million to develop — it’s almost always associated with mafias and corruption. To bring it back to patents, how can there be a kilometer of innovation that costs all of people’s freedom to develop? There must be corruption involved.

Oh le champion, ça faisait longtemps que je n'avait pas lu un truc aussi stupide au sujet du dev et de l'open-source.

Ce mec rage contre github, et l'open-source parce qu'il se dit que si il a des devs qui bossent sur des technos open-source de Facebook ou Google, ils se feront recruter par Facebook ou Google et donc qu'il n'a aucun moyen d'avoir une équipe de développeurs compétents.

Un bon moyen de ne pas ce remettre en question :)

Trop stylé ! Renault Open-source la plate-forme de la Twizy !

C'est trop cool ce truc !

J'aime vraiment la démarche du mec, et son simulateur de route (8'34" sur la vidéo) est vraiment impressionnant.
