To answer one question that keeps coming up: No, our GPU driver work cannot be ported to macOS in a useful manner.
While it is theoretically possible to run our Mesa OpenGL and Vulkan drivers on macOS, doing so would rely on an undocumented and unstable low-level GPU kernel API. This API changes with almost every macOS release, therefore making this a non-starter for production use. Your apps would break with every OS update.
There is, however, one entity that could take upon this effort: Apple themselves. As the drivers are permissively licensed, nothing stops them from integrating Mesa into macOS, and keeping the kernel API integration up to date with macOS releases.
So, if you want conformant OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.3 on macOS, look in Apple's direction. We're doing all the hard work for them, they just have to take it and use it. 😉

🚨 New very cool public cryptography audit!
I'm very excited about this one. Big collaboration between Symbolic Software and 3MI Labs to audit a novel threshold ECDSA protocol by dWallet Labs geared towards MPC.
We conducted a functional correctness assessment, tying the paper to the specification. Our assessment provides higher assurance for code correlation to spec and acts as groundwork for future engineering.
We also security assessment which identified a small number of security vulnerabilities, including a critical nonce reuse vulnerability in the protocol's presigning step. Findings were shared with dWalletLabs and addressed prior to publication.

My hottest take might be that "state management" isn't a real class of either problem or solutions. Instead, it seems to cover a confusion of:

Each of these have distinct solutions, and "state management" tools do none of them credibly.

For all that it did right, Mastodon made a massive unforced error not realizing that the key to social media propagation was keeping journalists happy. Instead, it alienated 90% of them with grievances and brow beatings about how they were pesky interlopers. BlueSky and Threads merely had to toss them a handful of candy, and promise them others, and it was like flipping a switch that sucked them out of here like runaway ShopVac.

Hades perfectly gives luck sway without ever giving it control, and the more I die instantly/hopelessly in other roguelikes, the more I appreciate that balance.
