<p>How many reminders do we need to understand that negotiating with these murderers is not possible? That "fear of escalation" makes no sense when this keeps happening and there's no response, no justice, just shrugs, and maybe thoughts and prayers when death toll is too high to look away? <a href="https://babel.ua/en/news/116887-russians-attack-kryvyi-rih-with-ballistic-missiles-there-are-dead-and-wounded-upd" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">babel.ua/en/news/116887-russia</span><span class="invisible">ns-attack-kryvyi-rih-with-ballistic-missiles-there-are-dead-and-wounded-upd</span></a></p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> I'd rather depend on there being a need for cryptography experts in one place (stdlib), than across 20 microlibraries and their dependencies.</p>
<p>the size of a language's standard library is dependent less on any abstract principles and more on how overworked the people building the language are</p><p>rust-lang can barely maintain rust-lang-nursery, nevermind actually complex stuff like tls or http</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://is-a.cat/@ar" class="u-url mention">@<span>ar</span></a></span> i'm not sure i want to depend on my language implementation provider also being an expert in cryptography</p><p>sure, google can afford it, because it's google. but if you ask for that you'll end up with the google language, the apple language, and the facebook language, which is not exactly desirable to me</p>
