frewsxcv | 5 years ago | on: A group of Google workers have announced plans to unionize

> The unions require a certain amount of work experience to join and some have different levels of membership depending on how much work you do after joining.

To users who are following along who aren't familiar, this is not how all unions works. Presumably the commenter is talking about "trade unions" which is one of many types of unions.

If something is untyped in Sorbet, you can give it a type with `T.let`. So if the return value of function `foo` is untyped, but you have a high degree of confidence that it will return a `String`, you can do `ret = T.let(foo, String)`

frewsxcv | 9 years ago | on: Lossless compression with Brotli

I haven't, though I've thought about it. Most of the logic behind git2-rs (as far as I know) is written in C. While it's possible to run afl.rs on a Rust project that uses C code behind the scenes, I haven't ever attempted to get AFL instrumentation working on the underlying C code. I don't think it should be that difficult, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

EDIT: I forgot to mention: It's possible to run AFL on uninstrumented code, it just won't be that smart about finding new code paths.

(afl.rs maintainer here)

I ran AFL on rust-brotli for a week a couple weeks ago. It didn't find anything. I plan to try again soon! No one is safe from AFL.

frewsxcv | 9 years ago | on: Afl.rs: Fuzzing Rust code with american-fuzzy-lop

This is what I'm striving for:

    #[fuzz]
    fn test_fuzz(bytes: Vec<u8>) {
        ...
    }
This would live alongside other test cases and everytime fuzzing is desired, one could just do `cargo fuzz`. Relevant issues and a pull request:

https://github.com/frewsxcv/afl.rs/issues/24 https://github.com/frewsxcv/afl.rs/issues/31 https://github.com/frewsxcv/afl.rs/pull/46

There's still a little more work to do though. Mainly, I want to compile AFL as a part of the workflow (see the afl-sys crate in the repo) so the user doesn't need to manually install AFL to use `cargo fuzz`.
