The audio is in English. If you ever talked with me IRL during lunch you probably heard me saying this.

The more I read about the struggle in the Global South, about non-white writers, directors, poets. The more I know if I write about it on the social networks it will be harder to find work. The poor are great when they know their place. The moment they demand justice, they are terrorists

Wow, the Asterinas team has launched a version of NixOS: asterinas.github.io/book/distro/...

I'm off this week and I won't be traveling. So I'm trying a new hobby. Let's see if my terrariums survive.

Here is a photo of my cat Madoka to cheer up your timeline

My honest experience with LLMs: For small tasks, you can probably use them to create the skeleton of the code. Most of the code will be incorrect (especially if you are using unsafe Rust), but you can manually fix it. For boilerplate or super common things, it works.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

This year, I learned a great deal about the Windows Kernel; now I know much more than I wish I knew about syscalls on it. I also have zero trust in any cybersecurity firm that I haven´t seen the source code for. I gave a talk in English for the first time at a Rust Conf www.elias.sh/posts/rust-f...

One weird thing in Japan for me is working on Xmas day. I have never worked my whole life on Xmas. First time ever .

There is a certain vibe in the Chinese web tech community that I really like: people use screen names + cute pictures. You have no idea who that person is in real life

TIL: msi files are a database and MsiExec is transactional, meaning if something goes wrong it will rollback previous operations

I'm old, for any overtime hour I work, I get one less productive hour the next day.

It's really sad to see the USA can do anything and no one fights back. It's like seeing the villain of a movie win over and over again. My grandfather worked during the Dictatorship installed by the USA during the cold war in Brazil. The freedom the USA sells is the slavery of the working class.

Exactly this. Example: It's really nice to know that all the craziness of FFI is normally at crate-sys and that `crate` is abstracting all that away to you.

Second blog post from the Rust vision doc effort: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/12/19/w... Working through the data we gathered really helped sharpen my understanding here.

Very interesting paper: muratbuffalo.blogspot.com/2025/11/miti...

I am really sad I was not able to buy yesterday: bohemians.ie/bohs-x-kneec... :C

I was looking for ways to double-check my unsafe Rust code, and I found out about: github.com/RalfJung/car...

Pretty happy with the location, I may go as it's easier to get a Visa.

So I have zero alternatives now... nice....

There is a history that goes in Amazon about a service a person did as a side project inside the company. One day, someone from another team saw it and decided to use it at the Amazon retail website. The service couldn´t handle the load, and Amazon went down. People paged the side project person.

Wrote a new blog post: Rust GCC backend - Why and how blog.guillaume-gomez.fr/articles/202... Enjoy!

One project I worked on at Huawei was an in-memory Alarm Engine in Go. Huawei's Flink deployment was not scaling well. It was expensive, and there were plans to increase the timeseries by 100x. It would be much easier to sell Rust for the project if we had github.com/uwheel/uwheel at the time.

With the USA targeting Venezuela and the genocide in Palestine, it's time to ask. Who profits from war? www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVYT...

Me: Ow, I wonder if the owner of "deboa" knows what it means in Portuguese. Me: Wait, is the owner Brazilian? Let me check. github.com/ararog/deboa De boas! Claro que é brasileiro!

My gift to the rustdoc team: fasterthanli.me/articles/my-... Merry syntaxmas, everyone!

In Japan, we need to do a medical check up every year. It's actually fun to see the results compared with last year. Tho I'm taller, which makes me question a lot of things

plf.inf.ethz.ch/research/pld... , compilers would like to exploit the strong guarantees of the type system—particularly those pertaining to aliasing of pointers—in order to unlock powerful intraprocedural optimizations.

Honestly, every time I need cargo/rustc to touch something from C/C++ world is a nightmare, not because of Rust, but because of the other part. I really understand now why people say the super power of Rust is the tooling.

From now on, if someone refers to the USA as America I will send this youtu.be/GK87AKIPyZY?...

in case you were looking to sponsor cool rust contributors, there is a list now :> blog.rust-lang.org/2025/12/08/m...

at a certain level of any creative or intellectual collaborative job the main task is sin-eater: to fix what you can and get blamed for what you can’t, secretly knowing how much worse it would have been if you hadn’t done what you did.

Super exciting: Rust is no longer experimental in the Linux Kernel, it is here to stay!!! lwn.net/Articles/104...

Playing with Rust bindgen on Windows for $dayjob. A lot of surprises and omg I do hate Windows Strings...

Folks, I'm so happy! I got a ferris!!!!!!

So arm is writing a driver in Rust? Super cool! #RustGlobal #tokyo

I have been waiting for the Football World Cup since the last one. After yesterday? Oh, boy... I hope we can still have fun watching it...

I think there is an argument around "The Burnout Society" and the usage of LLMs. With no time for research (reading different texts, thinking about them and applying them), we are increasing the usage of "Fast food research", increasing the pressure and leaving no time for personal growth.

Rust continues to expand globally & we’re thrilled to see a dedicated Rust Africa Hackathon launching in 2026. 🎉 Events like this show how powerful community-driven innovation can be. We’re proud that our Dir. of Engineering, Joel Marcey, will serve as a judge!

I spent the whole week going to the office, except today. Guess which day I was more productive? On which day do I feel like I can still be fruitful as a human after work?
