I was hoping someone would come up with some clever cryptography that allows you to have a master, cold-storage key that generates child keys which are all used to post under one identity.
If you lose a child key, you sign a message with your master key to publicly revoke it somehow and generate a new child key.
No idea if this is feasible or not.

"We have found while Rust mitigates kernel vulnerabilities, it is beyond Rust's capability to fully eliminate them; what is more, if not handled properly, its safety assurance even costs the developers dearly in terms of both runtime overhead and development efforts." https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc24/presentation/li-hongyu

Wouldn't surprise me if this is what the West's interest in Gaza is really all about:
"It has been speculated that one of the reasons behind Israel’s desire to eliminate Hamas from the Gaza Strip and completely control the Palestinian enclave is to give itself the chance to better explore a dramatic economic opportunity [...] The idea is to cut a canal through the Israeli-controlled Negev Desert from the tip of the Gulf of Aqaba — the eastern arm of the Red Sea that juts into Israel’s southern tip and south-western Jordan — to the Eastern Mediterranean coast, thus creating an alternative to the Egyptian-controlled Suez Canal"

I wonder if anyone questioned the original dependency choice in this situation. Given the colossal effort they've had to make to switch to a different dependency - the switch itself and all the devs learning the new way - it seems to me that a different approach at the start could have potentially saved lots of time. https://slack.engineering/balancing-old-tricks-with-new-feats-ai-powered-conversion-from-enzyme-to-react-testing-library-at-slack/
Sounds about right:

While I was proud of it, there was suddenly a problem when I talked to my manager about it. “While I understand how complex this was, when it comes to performance reviews, this code looks trivial. It looks too easy, too simple. I would recommend writing an implementation doc of this module just so we can demonstrate that this was actually quite complex.”
