WebFragments: A new approach to micro-frontends (from the co-creator of Angular and Microsoft’s DX lead)
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1oeryvj/webfragments_a_new_approach_to_microfrontends/

Hey folks 👋 Just released a new Señors @ Scale episode that I think will interest anyone working on large frontend platforms or micro-frontends. I sat down with Igor Minar (co-creator of Angular, now at Cloudflare) and Natalia Venditto (Principal PM for JavaScript Developer Experience at Microsoft) to talk about WebFragments — a new way to build modular frontends that actually scale. The idea:
→ Each micro-frontend runs in its own isolated JavaScript context (like Docker for the browser)
→ The DOM is virtualized using Shadow DOM, not iframes
→ Fragments stay independent but render as one seamless app
→ It’s framework-agnostic — React, Vue, Qwik, Angular… all work They also shared how Cloudflare is already migrating its production dashboard using WebFragments — incrementally, without breaking the existing platform.  submitted by /u/creasta29 (https://www.reddit.com/user/creasta29)

Ken Thompson's "Trusting Trust" compiler backdoor - Now with the actual source code (2023)
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1of2toi/ken_thompsons_trusting_trust_compiler_backdoor/

Ken Thompson's 1984 "Reflections on Trusting Trust" is a foundational paper in supply chain security, demonstrating that trusting source code alone isn't enough - you must trust the entire toolchain. The attack works in three stages: Self-reproduction: Create a program that outputs its own source code (a quine) Compiler learning: Use the compiler's self-compilation to teach it knowledge that persists only in the binary Trojan horse deployment: Inject backdoors that: Insert a password backdoor when compiling login.c Re-inject themselves when compiling the compiler Leave no trace in source code after "training" In 2023, Thompson finally released the actual code (file: nih.a) after Russ Cox asked for it. I wrote a detailed walkthrough with the real implementation annotated line-by-line. Why this matters for modern security: Highlights the limits of source code auditing Foundation for reproducible builds initiatives (Debian, etc.) Relevant to current supply chain attacks (SolarWinds, XZ Utils) Shows why diverse double-compiling (DDC) is necessary The backdoor password was "codenih" (NIH = "not invented here"). Thompson confirmed it was built as a proof-of-concept but never deployed in production.  submitted by /u/fizzner (https://www.reddit.com/user/fizzner)
