SpaceX uses Rust to prototype some new projects

Some members of the SpaceX software development team recently participated in an AMA (ask me anything) event on reddit, and invited anyone to ask them questions about the project.

One of the users asked if the SpaceX software development team has more ideas about Rust, and how to use it or not?

SpaceX team member "Asher" replied that they are very interested in Rust because of its outstanding advantages in security, performance and modern tools. They are also very happy to be able to use the same language in embedded systems, simulators, tools, and web applications. At present, the SpaceX software development team has begun to use Rust to prototype some new projects. Of course, this is just the beginning of their entire Rust journey.

If users want to try this feature in the browser, they can click on the settings menu in the upper right corner of the browser to open more tools, and select Math Solver to use this feature.

Having said that, Microsoft does not guarantee that this preview version will eventually become the official version, only that it "is continuing to explore the possibility of permanently including this feature in the future."

Linux 5.13 restore and fix the problem patch of the University of Minnesota

Previously, the entire University of Minnesota (UMN) was barred from continuing to participate in Linux kernel development due to researchers deliberately attempting to introduce vulnerable patches to the Linux kernel. Recently, phoronix reported that the Linux kernel developers finally completed the review of all patches from the university to solve the problems merged into the kernel, and also cleaned up/fixed their problematic patches.

Greg Kroah-Hartman submitted the 5.13-rc3 char/misc repair plan on Thursday. Although in the mid-stage of the kernel cycle, char/misc fixes are generally not very impressive, this pull request has a change that solves the patch by the University of Minnesota researchers. Greg pointed out in the pull request description that most of them are the result of a re-examination of all previously submitted documents by umn.edu. "I want to thank more than 80 different developers who helped review and fix this messy situation."
