Got one of our first AI generated PR contributions today. +6k lines of code that introduced several painful bugs while trying to fix an error. Real issue: `resolver="1"` in Cargo.toml. The compiler said that in the first line of the returned error!

In 1981 the LA Herald posited that "feminine bicyclists are becoming extremely cruel" and was "a form of insanity"; caused by " the intense exhilaration rapid riding brings about." We laugh at it now, but news today is just as capable of falsehoods. cdnc.ucr.edu?a=d&d=LAH189... #cycling #news

If you had to pick one, do you consider yourself an uphill or a downhill person? #cycling #running #life #fitness

Very cool. Dimethyl sulfide--a compound that, at least on Earth, is exclusively produced by marine algae--has been found on an exoplanet for the first time, and in large quantities. Current explanation is a giant ocean filled with algae, otherwise it requires an unknown abiotic process. LIFE!!

🦀 Hello World! The Rust project now has an official presence on Bluesky! ✨ We'll be posting the same on our Mastodon and Bluesky accounts, so you won't miss anything on either platform.

Rust 1.86.0 has been released! ✨🎊 🦀 This release adds trait upcasting, get_disjoint_mut on slices and hashmaps, #​[target_feature] for safe functions, debug assertions for null pointers, Vec::pop_if and more! Check out the blog post and release notes for details: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/04/03/R...

wokeness was keeping the economy afloat. wokeness kept planes in the air. wokeness kept us all safe

General PSA: this move, called "filtering", is not only a safety maneuver, it is generally legal and often ENCOURAGED. Many places like SF deliberately paint "bike boxes" to situate cyclists ahead of queued cars at lights. Assuming drivers aren't stopped in it by the time you get up there.

Ray Blanchard and his fetishistic fever dream masquerading as scholarship should always be mentioned alongside: 1. The GIC where this 'study' was carried out more or less coerced trans women into participating, on pain of compromising their access to healthcare 2. They faked the results

All programmers have felt like this at one point or another in their lives

New blog post: the monad tutorial of my dreams, and maybe of yours! A jargon-free, practical explanation of monads as a design pattern, using Rust and property-based testing as the vehicle

I'm in London this week for Rust Nation UK. Y'all are welcome to reach out if you'd like to connect #rust #rustlang #rustnation

It's fascinating to read as a discussion. Earlier versions of Leptos were not Send/Sync and our biggest issue was easy integration with Axum. Now that it is, the pain comes from non Send/Sync browser types in web_sys and running Futures in specific threads

More should be done to deal with the huge influx of throttle e-bikes that are basically unregulated motorcycles. Good to see California taking some steps: electrek.co/2025/01/01/s...

Wax and kitchen sinks do no mix. Ask me how I know 😆

I wonder what software engineers would be like if they had to do residency(i.e spend time working on open source). Maybe they'd be a bit nicer to OSS maintainers

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes

Winning 1st place in a programming competition must feel terrible. You were so close.

I wonder what the US would be like with a good public education system and a proper social support system.

First day of new job is almost over! Could not be more excited to be writing Rust at work, using Leptos, and having paid time to work on open source!

You are all invited to join us on Sunday Dec 1 at 9am PT for our monthly virtual Leptos Meetup. We'll be celebrating the release of Leptos 0.7, Mikkel will be back talking about the newly released Spin 3, and more! A great way to learn about Rust for frontend web development! lu.ma/3lzsc59h

Proud to announce that I will nominate Kai Winn as Secretary of Education where she will oversee the Federation Department of Education which guides the direction of schools and education across the United Federation of Planets member worlds. CONGRATULATIONS KAI WINN! #StarTrek

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.

Asilisaurus is a puzzling little reptile. The Triassic creature has some traits that look dinosaur-like, and might indicate it’s an early relative of dinosaurs like Edmontosaurus and Triceratops, but it also has some ancient traits that would make it a protodinosaur. Either way, it’s adorable. 🧪

Coming back to Bluesky after a hiatus, love to see all the new faces! I post about cooking, cycling, software engineering and politics mostly. #intros

the best thing about the volcano snail is that it looks EXACTLY how you’d want a volcano snail to look

It's cursed and I love it

As someone who has faced death threats and targeted harassment by the far right I can tell you that @jay.bsky.team put many in danger with the team’s moderation face plant. These decisions go further than banning accounts they set precedent for behaviour on these platforms

y'all lean into the most un impacted, unaffected, and unbothered groups fod advice on safety then want to be surprised when y'all constantly get dragged for shit tier safety. You got all of Black BlueSky, most of queer BlueSky, and a good chuck of tech BlueSky all saying "no this is a mess----"

@jay.bsky.team @why.bsky.team There is no repentance, it's not accidental. It's not "heated discussion". This is why people who engage in this have to be banned. Because they will just double down, it condones the behavior, and they're still free to harm their targets

Death threats being an instaban is such a low bar that if Bluesky fails to clear it promptly it poisons their entire moderation strategy. I too will jump ship

I am a software engineer and I will state it now: Technical solutions can't solve everything. I have done community work HEAVILY. This isn't a solution.

So, anyway, just so you know: 1. Extremists ARE using California’s harassment restraining order system as lawfare to harass and abuse people who report on their activities. The form-based layperson-friendly format of the system lends itself to this. /1

It's one of those days

Did you know getting COVID is a foreseen event? I know I'm going to get it 3 months from now on the first Tuesday. Thanks United!

What if, in addition to custom feeds, we implemented Circle Posts? Encrypt posts, build a custom feed for them, and then you can do all sorts of private content.

Looking for the next thing to make me feel like the Warthog Run mission at the end of Halo 1

Renewing my plea for some Rust tool to scan the DB or my SQL migrations and generate sqlx CRUD functions

Fascinating talk! Definitely worth a watch and listen

I think the biggest competitor to Bluesky will be whatever Meta calls their Twitter clone. Details are scarce, but it'll be federated, built on ActivityPub, and you'll be able to use your Insta account

Goodnight Bluesky!

I'd like to share a skeet with those of you thinking about suicide. In 2017 I ordered a shotgun online for delivery to a dealer nearby. I picked an abandoned lot I had driven by. I bought a tarp to make it easier to cleanup. I really bad about it. And one day, sitting in my cube, I got a call.

This will really revolutionize social media. Custom algorithms carry great potential and a lot of open questions
