Every new terrible GitHub announcement and outage makes me more eager for what @ersc.io is cooking 👀

Genuinely curious: is there any other reasons besides making more money that would warrant this charge? The comments already point out the fact that network ingress/egress isn't being charged.

I'm regularly reminded that I'm not hating to my full potential. This person made a YouTube channel to rant about C++ for two hours youtu.be/7fGB-hjc2Gc?...

Nixos is looking real interesting for my little NAS/lab project.

Wonder why man pages don't include layout information for structs? Just learned about layout differences for man7.org/linux/man-pa... across x86_64 and aarch64. It's packed on x84_64 for 32 bit compatibility but isn't packed on arm.

Incredibly disappointed (shocked even) that the plan is to make the default Rust mutex not poisonable in the 2027 edition. Poisoning is one of the best examples of Rust focusing on rigor, and removing it from the default mutex would be a massive step backwards.

Switched to a team already using rust and expanded on the projects written in rust since then.

Congratulations to Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social I’m looking forward to working together in building a city that is affordable, safe, and thriving for working families!

There's still a lot of curable ballots from Seattle (about 1,800). Most are unsigned or signature mismatches, and most skew younger.

Rotting in a hotel bed by yourself with a book after a big social event is peak.

Wrote myself a spooky hisenbug just in time for Halloween weekend.

Rust 1.91.0 has been released! 🌈 🦀 This version brings you tier 1 support for aarch64-pc-windows-msvc, warnings for dangling pointers to locals, new methods on AtomicPtr, array::repeat, BTreeMap::extract_if, const TypeId::of, and more! Check out the announcement: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/10/30/R...

Proud of the Python Software Foundation for doing the right thing and standing up for their people, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

rust-analyzer now fully uses the new trait solver! 🎉🎉 rust-analyzer.github.io/thisweek/202...

New rust-lang blog post on explicit capture clauses, continuing to document thoughts about ergonomic ref-counting: smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/bl...

This is so incredibly condescending from the Seattle Times. Do you also ask male candidates if they'd considered running for an "easier" office?

Bruce Harrell's campaign is fundraising on the need to "fight back against the influence of outside money." The PAC set up to spend on Harrell's behalf has raised $1.2 million so far, compared to the $86,000 raised by the PAC set up for spend in support of Katie Wilson.

The "Bruce Harrell for Seattle's Future" PAC has raised more money from Medina residents than the "Katie Wilson for an Affordable Seattle" PAC has raised overall.

👋 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)

Rust 1.90.0 has been released! ✨🦀 This release makes LLD the default linker on x86-64 linux-gnu and adds `cargo publish --workspace` to publish an entire workspace all at once! Check out the blog post and release notes for more: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/09/18/R...

Genuinely curious, does anyone have a use case for unbounded channels over bounded ones for message passing between tasks/goroutines/coroutines/etc?

building-systems.xyz/a-memory-pro... TLDR; back pressure is really important. Unbounded channels are a bad idea and dhat-rs is a really cool crate.

Just watched the materialist. Movies based on fantasy romances are back. Recession indicator.

Today's lesson: back pressure is useful. Don't leave unbounded channels in slow, single threaded code.

Looks like a bunch of internet providers in the Seattle area just had issues with their backhaul network. Updating your router's DNS to point to Cloudflare or google's seems to be fixing it.

At this point why not just run macOS on iPads?

I'm here to terrorize my team.

Hell yeah new amos post.

Sound Transit CEO Dow Constantine says the agency is seeing a "trend" toward opening the full 2 Line across Lake Washington by early 2026, compared to late 2025 as had been previously announced.

Just lost an hour of my day because powershell decided to be cute and defaulted to inserting a BOM at the start of a file it created.

Lamenting the lack of monodraw on windows. I just want pretty ascii art in my code.

Finally got on the Balatro train and I get the hype.

Washington isn't real

I was on the lookout for setting up some tests for a client and came across this library: github.com/IBM/mocktail Haven't tried it yet, but the name alone has me sold on it.

Finally got my copy!

🎉 I've bumped github.com/facet-rs/facet from "highly experimental" to just "experimental" — it has a pretty well-designed set of types, the derive macro is quite capable already, the JSON read+write crates are iterative (!!), go play with it!

The wheel of time show really turned it around in the latest season. Season 1 was meh, 2 good and 3 so far has been amazing. Episode 4 might be one of the best episodes of sci-fi TV I've seen so far. #wot

I didn't even get as far as the third sentence before I hit a grammatical error.

It is a special kind of cold and wet in Seattle today.

Have you ever found something so tricky that you needed two weeks to get 200 lines of code exactly right? This release had one of those cases. Here's why 👇 predr.ag/blog/when-is...

My entire kingdom for a compile time checked language for developing CI pipelines.

Back on my bullshit: fighting CI

Took some notes I had while building a new system at work, cleaned it up and wrote this piece on deterministic simulation testing building-systems.xyz/deterministi...

I guess I'm "into couch gaming" years old now.

Once the work of abstracting out non determinism is done the benefits are almost immediate. I'm already catching implementation bugs that would've been extremely difficult to nail with regular integration tests.

I do not like the flesh hats.
