Escape the Cradle is launching on steam at next fests conclusion (october 20th), but you can already get it DRM free on itch already! azurezero.itch.io/escape-the-c... Check it out and Help Hina escape the dungeon today! #indiegames #gamedev

difficulty discourse? you guys seem to find discourse pretty easy where i’m sitting

talking to gamedevs about PL design is always so funny because it's constant whiplash between "the language should support incredible magic for these extremely specific idioms" and "the language having any magic at all is the most offensive thing in the world to me, why am i not in control of this"

An interesting detail of PL design that I hadn't really appreciated before because it only *really* maters in IDEs: Given a constructor call like `MyClass(a, b)`, the token `MyClass` is a reference to two different definitions: the class itself, and the constructor.

it has been 0 days since i have been jumpscared by powershell vs pwsh differences

approaching the throne of rust-lang and receiving the divine directive to break 10,000 learn-to-write-a-game-in-rust projects on musl linux (projects that haven't `cargo update`d in years and are using an old version of getrandom and the libc crate)

Little smooch vs Big smooch!

the amount of times ive cried about windbreaker, i am increasingly convinced it is genuinely the best anime i've ever watched? it is, so important to me. so positively and unapologetically queer.

Daily #1690 - Hopelessly addicted

every now and then i'm like "maybe i'm too hard on arm64 windows, it's real, it's been so long" and then someone is like "we need to prefer installing and running x64 cpython on arm64 windows because no one compiles wheels for it, which makes native a more broken experience than emulated" nice nice

honestly do not know how people go to confs without looking like a weirdo queer, it is SO CONVENIENT for people to constantly walk up and be like "hi i know you" and i wait patiently for them to reveal a detail for me to remember them (sorry to everyone whose names and faces i instantly forget)

incredible rustc flag of the day: -Zunleash-the-miri-inside-of-you

i don't know this victor ciura guy but i am gonna hurt my neck nodding in agreement to his talk about c++/rust ffi requiring a deep purposeful effort with both sides of the boundary havinf cooperating compilers

talk went well! i am brain dead now zzzzzz

my talk "shipping uv's binaries to millions of machines" starts in 4 mins!!

catch me at rustweek speaking on behalf of b l u e i mean astral's uv!

yo pre-1.0 rust's ~ type mentioned!!! bring back tilde!! #TildeForRust2027

gonna convince these nerds to give me back my rust-lang/rust commit bit back. or at least win it in a game to the death. idk what i'd even merge, think i'd just start adding random ptr apis claiming increasingly unhinged memory model semantics

mngh why is the netherlands in a different timezone from canada what is this shit

oh no my 20 minute rustweek talk on release engineering is more like 60 minutes uhhhhhh catch me in the hallways for all the stuff i'm about to cut out

If John Regehr is brave enough to stop bringing up the DEC Alpha when trying to justify something, you can stop bringing up x32 when trying to justify something

cowardly that `cargo install cargo` doesn't work while npm's installation docs start with Note: to download the latest version of npm, on the command line, run the following command: npm install -g npm

"curl installed via snap" is the most hateful artifact i have ever seen "curl but it can't fucking write to your filesystem properly" askubuntu.com/questions/13...

apparently i'm presenting at rustweek now! come listen to me gab about the challenges uv has shipping rust binaries to million of python users' machines! rustweek.org/talks/aria/

it is so wild to me that cargo still doesn't have a builtin way to express "oh yeah anyone developing this project wants to have cargo-insta/cargo-nextest/whatever installed, make it easy to install/invoke that when working in this workspace" (python and javascript both have this)

i need everyone in the world to watch Wind Breaker, i have cried dozens of times over the past week because of it, my partner has cried a bunch too. it's so much, it's so important.

apparently i'll be at rustweek next month, see y'all then~!

at 2pm EST (2 hours from now) my partner nat is gonna be GMing a game of paranoia on twitch for charity, they did it last year and it was incredible! twitch.tv/LexGGTTRPG

i thought it was weird when sakura got on stage and said "ever since we added shulk to smash bros i've been haunted by feverish nightmares of twinks. today i deleted all xenoblade games and sourcecode from every system i had access to. i hope tonight i will finally be able to rest."

FUCKING HI I GUESS

dynamic pyproject.toml metadata has been a cursed feature i was shocked and distressed to learn of and somehow learning more about it only makes it more distressing and not less

when sex workers do their taxes do they follow Thigh GAAP

periodic reminder that "we have so much old code, surely adding more analyzers to catch bugs in old code is much higher impact than piecemeal writing new code in a memory-safe language" has been repeatedly demonstrated to be a falsehood by the android team security.googleblog.com/2024/09/elim...

Always nice to pull up an inscrutable type/trait and find a line saying "i understand your suffering, here is the magic incantation". Today's blessing is tracing_subscriber::MakeWriter saying "Additionally, it is implemented for std::sync::Mutex when the type inside the mutex implements io::Write."

when I worked for the government this was actually a serious problem: we had over a million files that could only be opened on windows 98, scattered randomly across 50 million weather records from the last couple hundred years

`eserde` has been designed to be maximally compatible with `serde`. You can adopt it for your application even if your dependencies don't use or support `eserde` directly. You can find more details, and examples, in the announcement blog post: mainmatter.com/blog/2025/0...

it's valmentimes and that means... 6 years hrt for this gay bitch!!

boooo Ottawa's Algonquin College is trying to shut down its tech writing program, i know so many people here who benefited from it. my sister is trying to get them to keep it open: www.linkedin.com/posts/julia-...

Wow this is great, if anyone has been struggling with all the different context you have to keep track of when writing Rust, this really covers all of it! doc.rust-lang.org/beta/nightly...

oh btw, i started at astral.sh a couple weeks ago! (it's been great so far!) so if any python stuff breaks for you in the future it's definitely my fault now.
