You'd probably need to pack a multi-mode propulsion system. Launch it so it can get a gravity assist from the Sun, deploy a solar sail after closest approach (or when safe) and ride the light pressure from the Sun to get as much delta-v as you can, then ditch the sail and fire up nuclear-powered electric thrusters for the rest of the trip. Dropping the solar sail part may be a good idea if its weight could be better used as propellant for the ion drive.

Then you have a hope of making the trip in a couple decades

> Why? Because underneath all that rust .... is an optimizing compiler, and it happens the author has decided to stay on the happy path of that.

There are two big differences here:
1) You're comparing "staying on the happy path" of a JIT compiler in the JS case, vs. an optimizing compiler in the Rust case. With the latter you can just compile your code and see what comes out and it tends to be fairly predictable. With the former, I'm not even sure there are tools to inspect the generated JIT code, and you're constantly walking the line of JS engines changing their heuristics and throwing you off the fast path. This was one of the primary motivations for the asm.js/WebAssembly work: the ability to get predictable performance.

2) Many of the optimizations mraleph performed were tricks to avoid allocation (which is normal optimization stuff, but more of a pain in GCed languages). In JS he winds up having to effectively write C-in-JS which looks pretty hairy. In Rust controlling allocation is a built-in language feature, so you can write very idiomatic code without heap allocation.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I've abandoned writing something to use a dependency in place that got the job done, but could have a number of improvements.
Sphinx.
What counts as "good enough" is such a subjective thing. What works for you will be some function of your needs and technical proficiency. It seems as though you don't have any specific needs, so any of the popular SSGs will be good enough for you. Pick one written in a language you already know, or pick one in a language you would like to learn. Some of the first Ruby code I wrote was a Jekyll plugin that I crudely hacked together. It worked fine. Jekyll is fast enough. Otherwise, there are plenty to choose from[0].

I think I ended up using "WP Static HTML Output" (not sure how to make the link citations here on HN, but the URL is
https://wordpress.org/plugins/static-html-output-plugin/ ) because it exports to S3, which is where I was hosting the static sites.
My father and his brother's entire business model in the 90s and 2000s was mass producing Karaoke for America while giving labels the finger. He saw digital downloads and streaming coming like a freight train from the future. I worked at my colleges radio station with labels to examine their newest stuff and add/omit it to our rotation for the metal segments. Finally, I have a friend I met in college who is in a talented metal band (Aether Realm) basically forging their own way. In all these interactions, the sense I have gotten from everyone from labels to artists to derivative works is always fundamentally a numbers game "how much and how many people will people really pay" and smoothening out statistical noise in income streams.

The end result is truly if you care for the music and the art, buy the merchandise directly from the artist. Go to the local concerts. Help reduce the variance in the artist's income stream. Show them that despite not having a big label, they can succeed. Once I realized I had this kind of power to my favorite metal artists, it was nice to give back.

Hugo is, IMHO, one of the best, most versatile options out there for an SSG. I've been using it since v0.15 (now at 0.37).

I use it for a simple, mostly text, blog (https://kar.ai).

I also use it for an image-heavy company site (https://www.stonelandinc.com).

I also use it for 20+ other sites for clients.

It's undergoing heavy development, so that may be a pro or con, depending.

e.g. Recently they added image processing [0]. This eliminates a python script I was using for the same purpose. It's much faster as well, which matters when regenerating ~1k images.

Down side, documentation & community is still catching up on the newer features.

It does not, however - allow me to re-implement the methods based on the values passed into them.

The greatest example of this is SQL: it takes the set of statements and transforms them into a set of steps a database needs to run in order to give you a result (and there are many ways of doing so). So essentially we end up with an optimisation problem that has to be solved (and many problems in computing are the optimisation problems where the question can be answered in many different ways).

You could, however - argue that you could also implement an SQL-like language with the language of your choice; but then you had just re-implemented a DSL.

And the last point against you is the fact that we are currently at the point where writing plugins for the IDEs is getting more easy, so quite frankly - the overhead of writing a new DSL is becoming less of an issue.
Security is a lot easier to reason about on a static site. Especially if you're leaving the server security up to, say Amazon and hosting off of S3 or a CDN.

> But a distinction between JavaScript and Rust+WebAssembly emerges when we consider the effort required to attain inlining and monomorphization, or to avoid allocations.

I'm not sure that is true. Having worked/interacted with a lot of people working with Rust on different experience levels, most of them (that includes me) don't have a deep knowledge of what Rust concept maps to a specific concept with which performance implications. And if they do it's often only partial. I'd say that right now, only very few people that don't work on the Rust compiler have a broad knowledge in that area. Sure, it's much better to have to Result of the optimization expressed in code itself, but I'd say that the amount of knowledge and effort required to get to such a level of optimization is similar to optimizing Javascript.

I also found the hint to `#[inline]` suggestions, a bit disingenuous. In the end they are just _suggestions_, and your are just as much at the mercy of the Rust/LLVM optimizer to accept them, as you are with a Javascript JIT.

I'm a big fan of Rust, and I'm a big fan of Rust+Webassembly (working with it is the most fun I had programming in a long time!). Generally I think that Rust has one of the better performance optimzation stories, I just don't a gree with some of the sentiments in the post. There are also enough other reasons to love Rust+WebAssembly than just the peformance!

This might be an unpopular opinion, but really wouldn’t sweat all the details just yet. I’d just start with something simple, free and widely used just so you get into the rhythm of blogging. An existing service probably, Wordpress would even suffice - I use Posthaven but it’s $5/month. You can focus on getting the perfect backend later, but I’d focus on writing the posts themselves and getting into the rhythm of writing to a schedule. Many well-intentioned blogs fall into disuse long before they outgrow their tech stack.

After you’ve put a dozen or so posts together you’ll have a better feel for what your needs are and you can then migrate your posts to the new platform of your choice - you can even write a blog post about it :-)
My colleague saw me looking at this site, and I went through exactly the same thought process as you! His feeble attempts at non-Hitler linked articles failed miserably.
People realized that many pages don't need to be dynamic (especially since native comments on blogs are pretty much dead), and hosting a static site is easier/cheaper than taking care of a dynamic one. Why keep up with patching your CMS or pay someone to do that if it's not necessary?
> Why firearms and not other weapons?

Something something bringing a knife to a gun fight...

The amendment doesn't specify firearms; it just so happens that firearms are the most contentious weapons protected under it, for obvious reasons: firearms are among the most deadly weapons in common use, but hoplophilic citizens do not want to be denied access to weapons their enemies have access to. Nevertheless, there was a Second Amendment case brought to the Supremes (Caetano v. Massachusetts) about a woman's right to buy a stun gun, which was illegal in Massachusetts. The Supremes found in her favor.

As for why the Second is considered "special" -- it's part of the Bill of Rights. There's nothing stopping anybody from repealing it, but the ten amendments in the Bill of Rights are considered special in American legal tradition because the promise of their passage was essential to the ratification of the Constitution itself. So it would take much more effort to gather support for repeal of a Bill of Rights amendment than the Eighteenth Amendment (which was largely passed because of the temporary political vogue of the temperance movement).
I think the scenario you are describing is the following: the attacker somehow gets the hash submitted to the API and then runs JtR or similar to crack the password.

That doesn't work because only the first five characters of the hash are sent to the API. The API then returns a list of all the hashes that have that prefix that it knows about. The client then (privately) is able to see if their password hash is in that list.

What they are doing is just the next logical step from personal leases - and it's actually brilliant at that. Instead of say, a lease at $1000/month for a new Porsche, you pay $2000-3000/month for access to almost any model whenever you want it - but I imagine it makes Porsche a lot more money as long as most of the fleet is occupied at any given time.
If you read the details of Troy's API you'll see that at no time does the password or even a hash of the password leave the computer of the person using the API.
State machine is useful when it is useful. I can see for certain string matching problem, internal management of certain data structure, it is going to be a handy improvement.

However, specifically in web development, it is discouraged because the nature of the application itself. Think hard how states are managed in a typical service, the real states live in a DB. Which makes state machine less useful because the ground truth is stored elsewhere, and should be updated by DB's own primitives. And in a distributed settings, failure is something you have to put into consideration. Making your service stateful is a red herring that brings all kinds of operational troubles. That is why the dominant approach people seems to agree upon is to keep application stateless while delegate all dirty work to DB.

So realistically I think state machine is useful to write certain helper routines in a non-persistent, single-thread scenario, for the ease of reasoning, but really should be limited within the lifecycle of a single API call.

I've heard this sentiment before and I think it's just nostalgia. Things are soooo much better today for kids interested in programming than they were in the 1980's when I was a kid.

This thread (50 comments as of now) utterly amazes me.

I mean, I haven't seen americans with different political views talking to each other in a level headed manner for a long time. Heck, on reddit they just use different subreddits, /r/politics and /r/the_donald, otherwise they are on each other throats in no time. Ok, that's reddit, so it should be expected, but HN is not much different recently. And it's not like we are talking about war crimes or human lifes here; it's just an opinion from some wealthy VC dude. Hardly something to be mad about, no matter if you agree with him or not.

No, it's more like "attacker gets the range, sends it to the API, gets all the possible hashes from the API, tries the corresponding plaintext passwords, thus needs only ~200 tries instead of X million".

Granted, your password was compromised already if it was in that list, so it needs to be changed anyway, but there's some information revealed by the hash (of course, how else could it be checked?).

Predictable as long as you stay on the same version of the compiler (yes, I know that there are crater runs to prevent regressions). Also, how does much can/does the output for different target architetures differ in performance? Couldn't that be likened to trying to optimize for multiple JS engines?

Plugins. The plugins are a never ending stream of XSS, SQLi, and other vulnerabilities. I used to intern on a web security team at Mozilla that hunted down these kinds of things and the entire experience revealed how easy it was to compromise your entire site because of a single plugin. During my six months there, I think I discovered 30+ plugins with issues. Most developers were responsive but some ignored us and the issues were never fixed.
