Jamie Donaldson @jamiedonaldson.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Rust has frustrating deficiencies; the issue tracker has excellent explanations, but my expectations exceeded reality. I have been able to solve each problem thus far, but in ways that feel like ugly workarounds to cover for missing features. 100

Jamie Donaldson @jamiedonaldson.bsky.social · 25/07/2025@tsoding.bsky.social Regarding your pastebeam client, a random nonce should be no faster than an incrementing nonce(assuming your hash function is uniformly distributed). Also, to make the work difficulty depend on message size, you must prefix the nonce, not the salt. 000

Jamie Donaldson @jamiedonaldson.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Modern processors are so complicated, we should say “hardware interpreted” vs “software interpreted” languages instead of interpreted vs compiled languages. Too many syllables so probably not, but it seems more correct. 020
