Surprisingly [sincosf fusion] only happened with -Ofast and not with -O3.
As noted, -Ofast turns on -ffast-math which turns on -funsafe-math-optimizations which "enables optimizations that allow arbitrary reassociations and transformations with no accuracy guarantees."[0] In this case, sincosf by itself is probably more accurate.

That would be formal verification.

Have you seen Curve9767 [0] ? Short-Weierstrass, prime-order, but the implementation does not use the complete formulas. Competitive performance, on the ARM Cortex-M0+ at least.

By the way, what’s the status of ristretto255? The latest version of the internet-draft [0] expired a while ago.

Yeah, they should drop bleach from that list. It degrades the shield and it might just do more harm than good.

they attacked another jogger, hitting him in the back of the head with a pipe and stick
They pummeled two men into unconsciousness, hitting them with a metal pipe, stones, and punches, and kicking them in the head.
The first policeman who saw her said: "She was beaten as badly as anybody I've ever seen beaten. She looked like she was tortured."
It’s a very “good thing” that they were in jail long into adulthood.

Not much nuance to this: They were guilty and they are guilty.
From the Armstrong Report:
We believe the inconsistencies contained in the various statements were not such as to destroy their reliability. On the other hand, there was a general consistency that ran through the defendants' descriptions of the attack on the female jogger: she was knocked down on the road, dragged into the woods, hit and molested by several defendants, sexually abused by some while others held her arms and legs, and left semiconscious in a state of undress.

You‘re really complaining about how the Snap Store works. Simple fix: Only maintainers can promote snaps to 'stable'.
