Why you should replace PostgreSQL with Git for your next project, by Florian Margaine devcenter.upsun.com/posts/why-yo...

Random #rust tip: Did you know that by hitting ctrl-j you can see the list of jobs and their bindings in #bacon ? BTW this menu is customizable and I had totally forgotten about it to the point I pondered about adding the feature...

new release: #broot v1.49 comes with an auto-refresh mode that you enable with `:watch` broot: dystroy.org/broot/ Release: github.com/Canop/broot/...

PSA: don't fall for the crates.io phishing campaign: fasterthanli.me/articles/cra... #rustlang

The small project I started in order to learn Rust, 7 years ago, isn't quite as small today. #broot now has 100 contributors.

My small shell prompt editor was only available for bash, I just made it work for zsh too. dystroy.org/prompter/

A small, non technical, blog post, for command-line fans: dystroy.org/blog/a-bette...

You know me for my public #rustlang work, but I'm also freelancing as a programmer and consultant. I'm looking for a new customer and I'd welcome short or part-time missions. RT appreciated. dystroy.org

New blog post: dystroy.org/blog/test-ma...

Just released dysk 3.1, which is about 1000 times faster on #Mac (for real, no change for other users). dystroy.org/dysk/

broot 1.48 just released, bringing major improvements to #Mac users. github.com/Canop/broot/...

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

For the next (much faster) version of dysk for Mac, I'm looking for testers of this new branch: github.com/Canop/dysk/p... #rust #dysk #macos

🇵🇱💯

Just released dysk 3, now compatible with Mac too thanks to a generous hardware donation! dystroy.org/dysk/ #dysk #linux #mac #rust

It’s wild that the most unrealistic part of Terminator 2 is now the idea of a tech founder being told their creation will enslave humanity and they decide to destroy their product & company.

Les travers des IA actuelles illustrés sur une question innocente: des circonvolutions sans autre but que faire savant et dissimuler la vacuité des connaissances spécifiques, et un résulat annoncé en titre sans cohérence avec le raisonnement.

A whole LOT worse.

❗️Ukraine’s intelligence (HUR) has revealed that a newly identified Russian drone—used for decoy, reconnaissance, and light strike roles—relies almost entirely on Chinese components. Nearly half of its parts come from one company: CUAV Technology.

@cnrsecologie.bsky.social regrette profondément l'adoption de cette loi à la vision court-termiste & ses conséquences graves sur l’environnement, qui méprise santé & bien-être de la population & le rôle des espèces sauvages dans la prod. agricole. La communauté scientifique n'a pas été entendue.

@skull-squadron gave me a Mac Book Pro so that I can port dysk to MacOS. To complete it, I now need testers. Head up to github.com/Canop/dysk/p...

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Exactly.

Friends! Contributing to open source is awesome. But please don’t implement a huge feature touching 100 files in your first PR without any previous contact. You likely don’t have the context: what the maintainers are trying to achieve, what their constraints are. Open an issue and discuss first!

What does the Rust-adjacent Internet think of this style convention of putting derive macros from std traits on their own line?

😳 OH MY GOD: Our Secretary of Defense does not know about the Suwalki Gap. SecDef Hegseth also doesn't know Kaliningrad.

Just released bacon v 3.16.0 with several new flashy features See github.com/Canop/bacon/...

The Fellas Fury platoon is ready for action🔥 14 Lyut robots, fundraised by #NAFO fellas, are on their way to help Ukraine's frontline defenders. Thank you, Fellas — your Fury is about to be unleashed. Take a look at these beauties again and remember the names you gave them🧵👇

Would that be the right time to suggest to the GOP that SpaceX is a critical industry and that it should be nationalized and become part of the NASA ?

People, stop calling this operation "spider web". This is history and we owe it to #Ukraine to remember it as Pavutyna (transliteration of "павутиння"). Also it's a marvelous word, just like the Pavuk (spider) it comes from.

Anybody interested in using #bacon in #swift projects ? Please check this PR: github.com/Canop/bacon/...

Just fell again on the "outer heaven" bug of beacon. This was a fun one. github.com/Canop/bacon/... #terminal #cli

Ce putain de naufrage. Le gouvernement qui diffuse sur son site www.info.gouv.fr Une vidéo réalisée avec l'IA pour "célébrer" la journée nationale de la résistance. Les mecs contribuent à la falsification de l'histoire... Enfin c'est dingue on a des milliers d'images d'archive !

Wow, a comment on HN I actually agree with!

Corruption on a massive scale, all in plain sight. The GOP is too craven and greedy for its own tax breaks to call it out.

how do you look at public perception of AI right now and be like "yeah actually we should deeply intertwine our brand with AI" as if it was a good idea

A pretty introduction to dysk features, I really recommend it: cubiclenate.com/2024/04/12/d... #linux #cli

Elon minions programmed GROK to automatically push a false narrative but they didn’t program it to lie about it (yet)

Article sur broot par @stephane-robert.bsky.social : blog.stephane-robert.info/docs/outils/... Contrairement à de trop nombreux bloggers, Stephane ne se contente pas de plagier le readme et fournit du vrai contenu. C'est d'ailleurs l'occasion de plonger dans le reste du site.

Bluesky seems to be nearing the level that Twitter had before Musk's takeover. Are there some serious recent studies/numbers which would help confirm or infirm this feeling at a wider scale than just my own landscape ?

Bacon can now be controlled from your editor! See dystroy.org/bacon/cookbo... #bacon 3.13 also comes with support of the new version of nextest.

Communist Russia and Nazi Germany started World War II by invading Poland together in 1939.

Somebody needs to write a search engine just to answer this question: Why is my soft I didn't touch in years suddenly massively starred at GitHub ?

Who could have guessed

Rustup 1.28.2 has been released! ✨ See the blog post for details: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/05/05/R...

Commodore cat strikes again with another #C64 banger!🔉🎶

Crisis at NASA It's very bad news all round for NASA science, but the worst hit is Astrophysics (which includes cosmology) where the proposed cut is about two-thirds, which would be devastating.

This is such a vast, dark subject that I've no faith in humanity except those who fight this. When Ukraine liberated Izyum, they found mass graves of tortured, disemboweled corpses - mostly civilians, children included, with signs that the mutilations took place while their victims lived.
