We're nearing the new year, so time for another Jan 1st Q&A! Ask questions at wewerewondering.com/event/01KDDA... — none too big or small. I'll get to as many as I can, and upload the recording after the fact. Stream starts 1/1/26 at 2:30p UTC @ youtube.com/live/g1ZgInF.... Hope to see you there ❤️

A lot of folks know me for one or two posts, and might not know I've created nine (9!) visual explanations of computer science topics, aimed at practitioners. If you're looking for things to read this Thanksgiving, I think you'll love them. Computer science is a lot of fun, when explained well. ❤️

Handy is also a great FOSS alternative supporting both Parakeet and Whisper (and written in Rust!) handy.computer

I'm looking to hire someone to help me build KCL! It's a programming lang for 3D design that we're making at Zoo. You'd be working closely with me on the KCL interpreter, the CAD API it calls, and our mechanical engineers. This is a Rust-heavy role. DM me any questions. zoo.dev/jobs/4619187...

So cute!!! #silksong

I'm excited to share what I've been working on with @erikjee.bsky.social: RustNL's #rustlang Maintainers Fund! Many people and companies contributing to Rust, but there are fewer and fewer paid positions for general maintenance (reviews,cleanups,etc). We need to fix that. bsky.app/profile/rust...

RustNYC happy hour today at 5pm near Penn station with @jonhoo.eu! luma.com/luyn21zx

Finally wrote up my slides/notes for my presentation at the last #RustNYC meetup. Thanks to @busysp.bsky.social, @colelawrence.com, @statisticsftw.bsky.social, Ross, and the whole team over there for making it possible! nrposner.com/blog/rust-py... #rustlang

@fjpaz.net is awesome!!!!

if anyone in NYC has audio field recording gear that I could borrow (a zoom f3 or hand recorder, lav mics, etc.) Aug 21-30, I would be super super grateful it’s for @saltzshaker.bsky.social’s and my trip to the bog snorkeling competition….!! www.green-events.co.uk/world-bog-sn...

August has been incredibly exciting for Rust NYC! Our first meetup sold out instantly with over 80 people on the wait list.

This was an awesome talk! I am glad I was able to attend it in person. Both @omar.website and @cwervo.bsky.social knocked it out of the park. Definitely worth checking out for folks 😉interested in HCI and Physical Computing.

On our latest ParadeDB blog post about the LSM tree we built in Postgres, many asked me how we map it down to Postgres pages. We also wrote a blog post about that, which you can find here: www.paradedb.com/blog/block_s...

Howdy all. I'm unfortunately not going to be with my employer for much longer due to team relocation. If anyone has any info on roles that would allow me to continue my Rust compiler work (in New York City), they'd be greatly appreciated.
