The hospital I'm waiting in provides the free fun game of "how to bypass a network blocking controlplane.tailscale.com". Turns out 1. They block via SNI 2. Tailscale's servers don't care about SNI 3. Tailscale let's you set your own control plane... to a local proxy that forwards without SNI

Strange bug of the day: mosh and ratatui fighting... the screen isn't clearing properly, isn't getting filled back in after a clear properly, etc. I've never seen mosh break like this before.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

New from me: "Rust's Culture of Semantic Precision" Discussing how Rust devs like to disentangle distinct guarantees and requirements into distinct APIs, and how that's playing out in the Linux kernel.

Obamacare conspiracy nonsense suggests that Trump is going to do something like name the ballroom the "Trump Ballroom" and charge the government royalties for using his name.

Github telling anyone else they have a notification from some shitcoin spam repo - but not letting them see and mark the notification as read?

👋 FEEDBACK WANTED ..on this preliminary #rustlang reflection MVP design by oli: github.com/rust-lang/ru... (the PR works, you can compile it and play with it, see rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org)

what's a bit of obscure rust/rustup/cargo/crates.io lore that you know?

I've hacked together a wayland screenlock app that renders shadertoy like shaders, because computers could use more whimsical.

I did not understand why cancel safety was such an issue before reading this. Definitely recommend reading for rust developers.

Working with #react for (roughly) the first time and having issues mutating a tree (reparenting a branch) without violating reacts rules about immutability, recreating the entire thing, or replacing direct references to JS objects with indices into some sort of array/map.

The really disappointing part of this project is that they're planning to power it with gas turbines (at least the first 1GW data-centre which I could find that information for). The least environmentally unfriendly, and likely cheapest, fastest, and most reliable way to build this would be solar.

People are talking about "context engineering" as if its going to stick around - I don't buy it. Yes, if you want to turn an LLM into a useful tool it's really important what goes into its context... but that doesn't mean you "engineer" it.

This is something I've especially been thinking about with AI-driven development. Claude writes way more tests than me. Too many. Unmaintainably many. But if I delete a test the second it no longer serves its purpose instead of thinking about how to fix it up to fit whatever changed, it's fine.

I've never really understood how I'm expected to copy a new SSH key on a new computer to my other computers... which all have SSH set up to key only access because the internet is a hostile place.

Turning on line numbers for logging statements statements is so nice, why is this not the default (in rust)?

Is there some sort of "rustdoc MCP" I should be using with LLMs in Zed to give them access to more relevant context? Both "is this a thing" and "does this make LLMs better at writing against the actual API that is available"?

It's incredibly funny that Anthropic developed a version of Claude that will mimic movie plot AIs and blackmail users. Discovered their new AI did that. And finally decided "what's a little crime between friends" and released it anyways.

#Gemini made a very curious error today when I asked it to transcribe a math paper into typst. It wrote code like `if狗狗.page.display() == "1" ` thrice. The Chinese characters translate to dog... Is this a new failure mode for Google?

Today, we’re announcing the preview release of ty, an extremely fast type checker and language server for Python, written in Rust. In early testing, it's 10x, 50x, even 100x faster than existing type checkers. (We've seen >600x speed-ups over Mypy in some real-world projects.)

ONE VOTE!!!!!! www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Australian joined Canada in denying the leader of their rightwing party a seat ❤️ They also joined Canada in sending the message that Green party candidates must be named Elizabeth to be elected 🤷 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

With CBC now having called all ridings it's time for the land-vs-people-vote animation.

It's possible the liberals end up with 171 seats, 1 short of a majority. It's possible Poilievre decides to "take over" a conservative seat in a byelection. It's possible that Poilievre loses that "safe" seat, just like he just did in Carleton. Giving the liberals a majority. We can hope.

The attacks on 338 continue today, this time in Eastern Canada :-( Use the French version of the site, which is up and running: qc125.com/canada/distr...

On the bright side, there's another two possibilities that don't appear in this chart

This is an excellent between an economist/podcaster and @mark-carney.bsky.social - going into details on trade, international relations, and economics that are very rare to see during a campaign. It's delightful to have a leader who speaks intelligently about this. youtu.be/V11qNDDElZw?...

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Am I misreading the news today? Trump didn't lift tariffs for any of the US's top 3 trading partners (Canada, Mexico, China), and kept a new-as-of-last week minimum 10% tariff on everyone else. Why in the world is the market responding so positively to this?

I still have to confirm this but it looks optically right and yall…this is insane.

calling this done, i do jit to vectorized code now

I wonder which "role model" Poilievre inherited this obsession from. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Last year we encountered a strange glitch in one of our surveys…the word “yes” was being replaced with the word “forks” in response options. Read on to learn how we unraveled what was causing it, how we ensured it didn’t impact the data quality, and what to do if it happens to you!

I can't help but feel this is closer to the truth than we want to admit in Canada as well. As bad as the US? Probably not, but the model sounds a lot closer to reality than it ought to be.

Did somebody forget to tell her the raised elbows are supposed to be directed south?
