Hi everyone. I need your help! I recently added support to get system GPU usage in the Rust sysinfo crate. Next step was to get this info per-process. However, I'm now facing a very annoying Apple issue: undocumented API changing each version. So I can only test my own macOS version: 12.6. 1/4

I think this is correct, but I think highlights an issue with Eq etc in general: if your errors include private details, you could implement Eq ignoring those details. In fact from the point of view of Eq being part of a type’s api you should do that. But the fact that Eq is usually derived and

Hey folks I'm looking for some work! Contracting jobs related to ATProto would be a great fit if anybody needs any help along those lines. I'm very good at Rust, I use a lot of TypeScript, and I'm in deep on the Atmosphere. I'm also used to just figuring out whatever I need to. 😁

In 2002, Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujurat and stoked so much bloodshed and violence against Muslims in the infamous riots that year, that he was banned from entering the UK, Europe & US for a decade - as essentially, a genocidaire.

The folks at Nvidia are building GPU query engines with DataFusion as the embeddable frontend: developer.nvidia.com/blog/designi...

I have some limited availability for software engineering consulting with #RustLang. Either to add expertise to a project or to take on a project. Given my time constraints, I'd be a good fit for relatively small projects with high complexity, performance, or quality requirements.

Another reason to use Rust. This sounds flippant or like a joke, and I’m very serious. This is a good reason not to use C++

The work we did with kākāpō is now not possible because the govt has said that our funding should go to science that makes money. Members of our current govt have said that if an endangered species is in the way of a mine or a new road then it’s goodbye #nzpol peterkdearden.substack.com/p/on-kakapo

The problem is not “work from home” as a concept — it’s managers and executives who don’t know how to build a strong team culture & enable people to build meaningful relationships (both laterally and vertically) in a remote/flexible environment.

Starmer is refusing to allow debate time for the Early Day Motion about the EHRC ‘guidance’, despite it being signed by over 140 MPs. If we get 100,000 signatures on this petition we can force a debate.

Ha! Get ont’ bus, Starmer

My five year old invented a new game, it’s called ‘one little duck poops his pants’. Me: how does it work? Her: it’s a very boring game. Basically, he poops his pants and then the game is over.

When you’re building distributed systems from the ground up, every layer is a place where you can make the network faster. But every slowdown is a problem you own. sgkaram.bsky.social just pushed his first (of many) Oxide blogs on tuning network performance across an Oxide system. buff.ly/XV9kmIW

Just added support to query GPU information in the Rust sysinfo crate: github.com/GuillaumeGom.... So next sysinfo release, you will be able to query this new information too. 1/2

Is 600k in addition to the platinum member fees or is that their total contribution? Because if 600k buys a board seat now, that is ridiculously cheap, and especially for OpenAI

I thought it would be fun (or at least interesting) to do some FAQs and answers on the #RustLang consulting I offer (I have availability from pretty much now, if this sounds useful)...

I'm so angry about this, that I can't get started with work.

Simeon Brown is such an awful person. Here he is overstepping his moral authority to replace an excellent Māori woman with an old, white guy as the head of the medical council: www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Finally wrote my blog post about Diplomat I should have written this ages ago, but better late than never manishearth.github.io/blog/2026/06...

I've been telling people for 25 years that Jane Street is not interested in formal methods. No more! And we're actively hiring to form a new formal methods team! blog.janestreet.com/formal-metho...

I've added a chapter on error recovery to my #RustLang errors guide: nrc.github.io/error-docs/r.... It's new, so I'd love to hear any feedback! (And apologies for any mistakes I missed)

I’m still getting used to Wellington being a higher trust society than the uk, I guess: someone just used their actual sleeping baby to save a seat at our table

Why does the iOS emoji keyboard now take a second to load? I assume it’s doing some dumb network or ai crap rather than just showing the emojis? Frustrating recent regression

sent #rustlang mod team to consider adding "caste" in their code of conduct. rust-lang.org/policies/cod... currently does not include caste however latest contributor covenant has caste in it www.contributor-covenant.org/version/3/0/.... reposts appreciated.

I'm working with Tailscale, and have helped their Rust team ramp-up on Rust and release their Tailscale Rust library: tailscale.com/blog/tailsca.... If you want that kind of help to make your #RustLang adoption a success, I currently have availability for another client

iddqd, or the hardest kind of unsafe Rust. My first post for the @oxide.computer blog! Goes deep into the pitfalls of unsafe Rust and how to reason about it. A lot of labor went into the post -- please have a read! oxide.computer/blog/iddqd-u...

We also found that if Xinjiang were a country, it would have the highest incarceration rate in the world at 1,944 per 100,000 people. China has an incarceration rate of 119 per 100,000 people.

Woo! `assert_matches` is finally stable!

I worked with the LangChain folk on SmithDB earlier this year. It was a great challenge, fun work, and a good example of using async Rust + Vortex/Datafusion + Cloud storage to make a high performance, domain-specific distributed DB. www.langchain.com/blog/introdu...

So, lucky people who were at Rust Week, what were your highlights that I should watch? (Don't say 'getting to hang out with a bunch of cool people in a cool place', because I feel bad enough about not going already)

Parents who refuse to ever choose for their own child to have less are a major contributor to the suffering of children in the world. After working in education I've seen hundreds of parents who claim all the right values right up until their own kid might lose a tiny sliver of anything at all

Tightly coupled to this hot take is a second one, we mythologize parenting and parents to a degree that also stifles societal progress and harms children greatly.

I don’t mask as much as I did for a long time, but still do anywhere I think is high risk, and I get like half the number of colds, even with little kids. Well worth it

Worst five minutes followed by best five years of my life. Highly recommend and surprisingly cheap.

I hate to boost Amazon, but I bought this little tool set for electronics, etc. a few years back and it is probably the best $13 I've spent. I use it every day: www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics...

Edited and improved the interop chapter of my error handling guide: nrc.github.io/error-docs/r...

I've been looking again at my old #RustLang error handling docs. I've edited and improved the Result (nrc.github.io/error-docs/r...) and panicking (nrc.github.io/error-docs/r...) chapters. More updates coming soon (the rest still needs work).

It took me 12 attempts, but I managed to deploy an mdbook to GitHub pages. I'm a professional!

OK, so here's a few words about different kinds of timers, why SYSTICK is good for what it was designed to do and crap for the modern tickless world, and how I implemented embassy-time for the Armv7 Generic Timer. thejpster.org.uk/blog/blog-20...

The head of the OECD’s New Zealand desk has bluntly told an audience at the Commerce Commission’s Competition Matters conference that the keys to turning around the country’s economy lie in reducing bank profits and fixing power market.

Today is the 11th birthday of Rust 1.0! 🥳 🎂 🦀

New Database product based on Apache DataFusion from @langchain.bsky.social -- focused on agent observability. It is really neat to see how people are building (very) customized data + query systems faster than ever now that they don't have to build the whole stack www.langchain.com/blog/introdu...

If you're an Apple user, it seems like today's iOS and MacOS updates are ones you'd want to install sooner rather than later (because of the security updates rather than the new emojis)
