Nick Mathewson
Hi! Nick here. I'm a nerd, a dad, a programmer, and a human being.
I'm also one of the original authors of the Tor privacy software. These days, my focus is on Arti, a project to implement Tor in Rust.
This site collects my light verse, software essays, and other things I need to keep online for one reason or another.
Stopping by Mordor
Whose rings these are, I think I know.
They've all come back to Mordor, though,
Except the Elvish Three—and Mine,
Whose whereabouts I'd like to know!
You Are Old, Giovanni
“You are old, Giovanni, the richest of men,
Also old, as I’m forced to repeat,
Since your arch-nemesis is a child of ten,
Whom you never can seem to defeat.”
“In my youth,” said the villain, “A child of that age
Beat my pidgey, which still makes me wince:
And my infamous schemes have been driven by rage
Against children of ten ever since.”
With Apologies to Billy Joel
She can smell burning cities when people tell lies
Yeah she eats steel nails, shits 'em out galvanized
Now she's not safe for people with nut allergies
And she runs on the cloud, but she's always a woman to me
I'm getting vaccinated
20-20-24 hours to go,
I'm getting vaccinated,
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
Till I get vaccinated
Implementing Rust futures when you only have async functions
Rust doesn't yet support
asynchronous functions in traits, but
several important async-related traits (like
AsyncRead
and Stream )
define their interface using functions that return
Poll. So, what can
you do when you have a function that is async, and you need to use it to
implement one of these traits?
