Python Cryptography Breaks Up with OpenSSL with Paul Kehrer and Alex Gaynor
The Python cryptography module, pyca/cryptography, has mostly been a sane wrapper around a pile of C, so that users get performant cryptography on the many, many platforms Python targets. Therefore its maintainers, Alex Gaynor and Paul Kehrer, have become intimately familiar with ... Show More

2 - Quantum Computing Has A Purpose! (The Factoring Algorithm)
In the mid-90’s, there was no quantum computing field. There was excitement, sure, but nearly a decade and a half after the conference at MIT Endicott House, the possibilities of marrying physics and computer science had yet to yield a significant technological breakthrough. That ... Show More
