Through Helsing's sponsorship of Formula Student Germany, we are backing three of Europe's leading teams – AMZ (ETH Zürich), TUfast (TU Munich), and KA-RaceIng (KIT Karlsruhe). Earlier in June, we hosted the teams at Grob for HEAT, our first field trial with them. This is the first in a series of posts on why we are getting involved with Formula Student and what we are finding in it. In early June, I visited Grob Aircraft's airfield for the first time. It was a gorgeous late spring day, and the airfield itself was eerily quiet. As I turned the corner approaching the airfield and headed towards the hangars, I met 4 groups of engineers, who were busy toiling away at their stations; some with laptops in hand, others disassembling components. This scene would not be out of place in a workshop or at a field-test – however, these weren't Helsing engineers, and they weren't working on an HX-2 or SG-1. They were students. And they were building race cars. Engineering, Deployed Deployed enginee

Every build you run rests on a tower of software you did not write and have never read. Your package manager was built by a compiler. That compiler was built by an older one, and that one by an older one before it, with a chain stretching back decades into binaries nobody on your team has ever looked at. You trust the source code because you can read it. But you run the binaries , and a binary can do things its source never mentions. For most software, that gap is an abstract worry. For software that has to run in high-assurance, it is the whole problem. Information security frameworks for high-assurance environments (eg, Secure by Design in the UK or BSI Grundschutz in Germany) mandate principled software supply chain security practices; this means tracing back software packages and source code, and, in the limit, of course also compiler infrastructure. This post is about closing that gap for Nix , the package manager we use to build, well, almost everything. We got there by peeling b
