Rust and the Three Laws of Informatics by Simon Chemouil: https://medium.com/@schemouil/rust-and-the-three-laws-of-informatics-4324062b322b #Rust #language

Finished reading the release notes for #OpenBSD 6.4. Wow! In addition to the big stuff (RETGUARD, Spectre mitigations, and unveil(2)), so much new, improved, and fixed stuff in 6.4. Tons of new drivers.

And lots of polish:
+ ifconfig join
+ dhclient(8) now has the '-r' option to release the current lease and exit
+ lam(1) now provides UTF-8 support.
+ Mandoc can now format the manuals of the groff port.

One more thing.... Actually, dozens: http://www.openbsd.org/64.html
