if ai doesn't have appreciable climate impact (as the boosters say) then why is this a choice they need to make

Delighted to share that Rust Foundation Silver Members Ferrous Systems & @kdab-com.bsky.social have stepped up to sponsor our livestream + recording. This helps us offset the costs of making #rustconf a truly global event! More on Ferrous Systems: ferrous-systems.com More on KDAB: www.kdab.com

We had a speaker drop out of the Rust Berlin meetup next week (Friday, 29th, at JetBrains). Anyone wants to speak? If you get in touch before Sunday, I will think about something to bring you from Japan as a gift.

Ironischerweise sind die Leute, die den Bund der Steuerzahler finanzieren irgendwie auch die Leute, die am liebsten gar keine Steuern zahlen würden. Neoliberales Kasperletheater vergleichbar mit und nahestehend der INSM.

Kurze Erinnerung: Der sogenannte Bund der Steuerzahler ist genauso eine legitime Vertretung von Steuerzahler:innen wie der soeben von mir erdachte Zentralrat der Clownsvereine alle Clownsvereine (und damit auch den Bund der Steuerzahler) vertritt.

Today is the 11th birthday of Rust 1.0! 🥳 🎂 🦀

Ulrike Herrmann bringt es auf den Punkt: Warum schafft es die CDU trotz harter Migrationspolitik nicht, die AfD kleinzuhalten? Weil das nie die Lösung gegen Rechtsextremismus war!

In Amsterdam for Dutch Clojure Days #DCD2026! Who else is coming?

"Als ich gehört habe, wie viele Wohnungen in der Ukraine neu wiederaufgebaut werden müssen, kam mir der Gedanke, dass so eine Spezielle Militäroperation verdammt gut sein kann für die lokale Wirtschaft"

„Ja ja, verstehe schon, aber wissen Sie eigentlich, was ich als Bundeskanzler jeden Tag ertragen muss?“

@gamespodcast.bsky.social Witzige Anmerkung zu dem von dir im Solopodcast zitierten "Move Fast and Break Things". Das ist nicht mehr das Engineering-Motto von Facebook. Das ist jetzt "Move Fast on Stable Infrastructure". Seit 2014. Wird aber immernoch rumgereicht. web.archive.org/web/20191204...

Can I brag just a little bit? Sorry. Here I am being mentioned in an article in Nature. What a way to end a Friday.

To a lot of people’s surprise, including mine: Inception. I have a very deep hate for the last few seconds. The storyteller is a coward, like far too many. bsky.app/profile/yeli...

Jesus Christ, this age verification thing is going to be the most useless and annoying thing we’ve ever done to undermine privacy and democracy in the history of the world. I vote that all in favor are banned from the internet.

Who called it "Erlang" and not "Terms and Conditions"?

that's right ironically i've said this since the beginning bc my early career was 100% consulting and THIS IS HOW MOST LARGE COMPANIES USE CONSULTANTS if you are at *all* savvy, you will realize that many so-called engagements are using you as a handy, deniable loincloth to cover their ass

I looked up the "goto statements considered harmful" letter and idly scrolled pdf. To find "Language protection by trademark ill-advised", a conversation of about the merits and drawbacks of trademarking you proglang names. The arguments could be from today! 1968! dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

Linux maintainers should really step back and think why programming language library managers happened instead of ranting on stage that they exist.

Gute Nachrichten: Der Bundesrat hat den Vorschlag, Sonderregister zur Nachverfolgung von Namens- und Geschlechtseintrags-Änderungen nach SBGG abgesetzt, also gar nicht erst zur Abstimmung gebracht. www.bundesrat.de/SharedDocs/T...

I have just compiled Rust code for bare-metal SPARCV8 and executed it under Solaris 2.6 on a microSPARC-II. I suspect that no-one has ever done this before. Literally no-one.

Merz hat für seinen neuen Kurs u.A. mit dem Versprechen geworben, damit lasse sich die AfD zurückdrängen. Heute lässt sich selbst mit viel Fantasie kaum noch leugnen, wie krachend er damit gescheitert ist.

you should buy the book at regular price, it’s worth it and good, but you CAN buy it at half price if you want

it's back to school season and I'm doing a sale on my book "building git", a deep dive into a ton of programming topics through the lens of rebuilding a tool you use every day visit shop.jcoglan.com/building-git/ and use voucher code BGSEPT2025 to get 50% off

Anlässlich des Rückzugs von #BrosiusGersdorf hier noch mal ein Link zu meinem Blogartikel: Ja, man darf als Christ leidenschaftlich für den Schutz werdenden Lebens eintreten, und kann trotzdem guten Gewissens Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf zur Verfassungsrichterin wählen. Warum das geht? Hier:

Am 16.8. geht’s mit dem Bus von Berlin nach Plauen, das schon lange eine rechtsextreme Hochburg ist, um dort dem CSD beizustehen. Es gibt noch Tickets.

It’s a small story but the small stuff is what counts over the years, I think. And it illustrates who he was to me: always smiling, cracking jokes, a good software engineer and an even better guy. I’ll miss him a lot.

Anyway we ended up making some kind of mistake, and got on the wrong train. I was freaking out a bit, but Piotr was so chill. He reassured me we’d be fine. We got off in some random tiny town, got new tickets, got on the right train, and he was 100% right: it was all fine.

One time, we were in Belgium, at the same conference. I was still getting used to riding trains around (I love you Amtrak but it’s not the same), and so Piotr offered to go to the airport with me, after all, our flights were even at roughly the same time!

Incredibly sad to hear of Piotr’s passing last week. Just a great person. I’m glad to have been able to be his friend.

Nintendo franchises in general. I'm vaguely aware and even played some for a few hours, but never finished or even came close in one. bsky.app/profile/retr...

A big loss for the Ruby community and programming in general. @chastell.net had an amazing combination of sharp wit and a very humanist understanding of the world. bsky.app/profile/toma...

Yesterday evening Piotr Szotkowski, also known as Chastell, has passed away. Friend, partner, great engineer, wonderful person.

Due to a discussion on another platform, I now want a "(Sexp Education)" t-shirt.
