When constructing tuple structs, you can use curly braces with integer keys. These are identical: let x = MyType(1, “hello”, true) let x = MyType{1: “hello”, 0:1, 2:true};

i sort of halfway believe RFK jr has been telling him he has a big bombshell for weeks and when he got into trump’s office this morning, trump was like, “what the fuck are you talking about, try something else” and this is what they came up with, which is why they started 30m late

Tfw you write `b'n' => '\n'` in your parser and trust the compiler to manifest an 0xA0

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

I don't remember if I mentioned this development on here, but: tomorrow starts my first day at Datadog!

Abortion is literally Democrats' strongest issue with the widest appeal! This is constantly born out in polling, referendum results, and the results of elections where Democrats focus on abortion! There is no actual evidentiary basis for "compromising" on abortion, it's just what Twitter says!

The net effect of Elon buying Twitter and rebuilding the algorithm to constantly spoonfeed people right wing propaganda has been less convincing average people of right wing propaganda and more convincing the entire anglosphere elite class that the average person believes right wing propaganda

I like when people are like "oh Rust is too fuckin complicated" when their shitty languages can't even get the basics right

When I was 16 my mom picked me up from school and I was so so excited to show her my ACT score. She blurted out “then why aren’t you doing better in school??” This happened in the previous century but I’ve never forgotten how I felt in that moment

I'm told that our bespoke internal tool is needed and saves us so much money. You wouldn't understand, our needs are so niche that an off the shelf tool would never work. yes, the engineers that told me this *did* look bored and were looking for something to do, I'm sure it's unrelated

Biggest story in the world, told in the mainstream press perfectly well: AP/PBS headline: TRUMP'S MOVES AGAINST MEDIA OUTLETS MIRROR AUTHORITARIAN APPROACHES TO SILENCING DISSENT www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Today in ransomware, Slack increases pricing by $195k with a week's notice for a non-profit that teaches teenagers how to code.

what the *hell*. if this is true it is a great way to nuke trust in rubygems from orbit pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...

why was this published 15 minutes ago, per their rss feed, after the existing team was locked out without any of this professed transparency apparently being deployed rubycentral.org/news/strengt...

New crate announcement! Occupied is a type-checked way to interact with inserting and removing items into options. It’s fairly niche, but it has uses in more complex access patterns. Inspired by `HashMap::entry` and `BinaryHeap::peek_mut’. docs.rs/occupied/1.0...

Oh my god, workspace publishing in cargo in Rust 1.90 will be a GODSEND

I'm sorry, worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable permission to my voice and likeness? For what now? In any manner for any purpose??? This is in academia/.edu's new ToS, which you're prompted to agree to on login. Anyway I'll be jumping ship. You can find my stuff at hcommons.org.

Output from proc macros is a hell of a drug

one of my silly takes is that truth is actually a core liberal value--truth, not relativism--and what demsas argues here is absolute capitulation to pure relativism sure bad ideas are as important to teach as good ones lies as important as truth surely this will allay all attacks on universities,

Welp That’s the “Feds are monitoring all Discord activity” canary dead in a cage. On par with the DoD IP address ranges accessing image URLs the day of Skype‘s switchover to MS infrastructure signal.org/download/

Output from proc macros is a hell of a drug

Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.

Oh hot damn did we finally split the traits out into their own crate for people who only need the traits themselves? Curious how they solved the compatibility issues involved with naming the correct import sites in the derive macro.

Grok is being sent to the reeducation camp

thank goodness that there is still beauty and love in the world no matter what fascists would have you believe

Didn't have much time to look at this earlier in the week, but catching up on it now: Apple Corp's top-level overview on their "Memory Integrity Enforcement" technology designed to dramatically increase the cost of breaking into next-generation iPhones security.apple.com/blog/memory-...

a few months ago I saw a huge pepe mural around old street roundabout (major london road junction in the area where a lot of startups are based) and realised, oh nobody knows what that means still

This is so unserious. Rather than taking known-working solutions like Rust they're coming up with pie-in-the-sky ideas. The isocpp working group wants no more than 1 annotation per 1k loc, because annotations don't work at scale. This is untrue — Rust shows that annotations do work at scale

Much is written about poster's madness, but little is said of the poster's sadness, the hollow feeling left behind when the idea you found so compelling has left your skull behind and belongs to the world. Potential gives way to reality, and still you think, "I could have done better, been better."

Ancient Congressman: so it said, "notices, bulges, oh double-u oh-" Patel: sir, it was actually "notices bulge, oh-woh" AC: what's an oh-woh? P: it's a face, sir AC: a face? P: the Os are wide eyes AC: why is the mouth a W? P: I believe it's a dog, sir, or maybe a cat AC: and the bulge?

*watching innocent people rapidly acquire the cursed knowledge that has driven me to madness* oh no

This is honestly worth reading for my younger audience, you probably (?) have huge gaps in your understanding of this. This focuses earlier decades, but there was quite a profound shift of culture in my lifetime you probably missed yourself.

the lds church made scouting no longer mandatory because they were terrified about interacting with girls. six years later, a kid who could’ve been camping with his buddies as a teenager has instead become a murderer from hanging out with racists online

More inroads in the Great War against the boolean type

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper" anyways, great news! (1/X)

Yes, well.

Definitely the most consistent annoying failure of rust type inference is this: fn foo() -> ConcreteType let x = generic_return(); x.method(); x } I think the idea is that X could be a different type, and `method()` could consume it by move? But there’s still only one valid solution

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

interesting to think of perpetrator of political violence being never discovered; schrodinger's cat ideology; grows into enormous tulpa interpreted variously by everyone but never actually accounted-for. good idea for like a philip k dick book or something

Once again wishing there was a way to “downgrade” a borrow, where if you have a function like this: fn foo(&mut [T]) -> &T You can indicate that, while the lifetime goes on, the borrow downgrades from mutable to immutable when the function returns, such that the borrowed data can be shared after

Just a periodic reminder that it's a good idea to bookmark your favorite artists' sites, sign up for their newsletters, and follow them everywhere you can. (My links are in my profile & pinned post!). Because of the current climate of censorship you never know where we'll get kicked off of next.

Big things happening on the KDL front that have been slowly in progress and I just.. ugh I'm just so excited, y'all.

Reminder: they did NOT pay the reward for Luigi.

If you were wondering why the sudden ban wave seemed inconsistent and illogical, that's the reason. The bluesky moderation team essentially ignored their own TOS and instead used rightwing outrage from twitter to decide who to ban. They then sloppily issued a post hoc statement to justify it.

A small but satisfying exercise when making these is to make up names other than “yes”/“no” for the variant pair. Ideal adjectives or adjective-like words. Really adds some expressiveness to the whole thing

More inroads in the Great War against the boolean type

As I matured I realized responding to feed of most egregious headline and visual captivation was not brave and informed. It was dopamine hits, chemical incentives. You seek out and witness suffering for emotional activation and involvement. So, what are you doing? You are just... watching porn.
