love CSS, where "why is my sticky so jumpy" is a perfectly cromulent query

RE: https://mastodon.social/@simple_sabotage/116121385465705323 sometimes I read these snippets from the simple sabotage manual and think "hmm, that's just how programming already works"

I think "Ladybird doesn't use Rust" mattered a lot to a certain category of people. Well, I guess some blogs are about to light up: https://ladybird.org/posts/adopting-rust/ (On the other hand, I think Rust folks might be unfazed, for... a variety of reasons)

new spec writing motto: MUST or bust

spooky behavior in my code editor, files opening by themselves... am I being hacked? no! it's the "go to definition" I asked for 5 minutes ago, finally completing.

ok but that's a terribly impressive way to be down

There are two great evils in the world and I'm doing both* *(building Rust code from the Swift package manager and building Swift code from cargo)

just fixed tracey hover — so you can see the rule you're implementing just by hovering it https://github.com/bearcove/tracey

And God said unto Adam and Eve: And here is the tree of asynchronous mutexes, you are never to partake unto it, lest very bad things happen. Adam: Why do we even have that tree? Eve: I'm pretty sure I could touch them and nothing bad would happen God: STEP AWAY FROM THE TREE

wow dladdr is expensive

So I'm working on a tool that needs to capture where in the source code you do a certain operation. And I came up with this very complicated scheme with macros expanding to extension traits, and spent two days implementing it before I realized: I can just use DWARF. I'm just going to use DWARF.

Do you all ever think about the fact that they let Sean Connery play James Bond?

I need a color system I need a color sponsor I need a 1-year color chip

nobody: gpt-5.3-codex: "rm was blocked, so I let a butterfly out of my hand and let the delicate wings flap once, creating a distrubance rippling outward, changing the flow of the eddy currents in the upper atmosphere [...] strike the drive platter and flip the desired bit."

Before I started dealing with FSKit (macOS's FUSE semi-equivalent) I thought volumes were either mounted, or unmounted. Now I know about like 18 intermediate states, several of them meaning "only reboot will fix it (lest you disable SIP)". It's cool. I'm cool. We're cool.

the devil's greatest trick was making backticks (`) are used for both subshells and markdown inline code blocks what are you working on right now? I'm working on `sudo reboot` SHIT FUCK WAIT

codecov github bot: Thoughts on this report? Any customer feedback? Have you noticed my new haircut? Somebody talk to me OH GOD I'M SO LONELY

Microsoft: “yeah there was a vulnerability in how we handle markdown links in notepad” Literally the entire fucking web, blissfully devoid of any reading comprehension: “SEE? AI BAD”

Did you know Apple has patented proprietary technology to always choose exactly the wrong folder when you hit "Save as"

hey uhhh. I got fired yesterday. if anyone has rust positions in the Netherlands let me know!

My team at Apple is hiring Debugger Engineer to work on LLDB in London: https://jobs.apple.com/en-gb/details/200643284/debugger-engineer If you’re interested, please submit your CV through the website. Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions!

"neat! the bug is reproducible!" *eight hours later* "...a little too reproducible"

rustc PLEASE what are you DOING

The FAQ for VFSforGit recommends "uninstalling the entired ProjFS feature" to make sure the filesystem is truly unmounted. That's... incredibly on-brand for WIndows.

Which environment variable do you have to set to get rustc to stop creating files in `/tmp` ? A: $TMPDIR B: $TMP D: $TEMP D: $TEMPDIR

UHHHHH CLIPPY WHY

I just spent the entire morning debugging a MacOS sandboxing issue that turns out to have been "I said no to a permission prompt two days ago and this actually broke the entire VFS and I can't find where to reset it." Wowee mac dev.

Getting intimately convinced that there are two kinds of cats*: the thinking cat, and the unburdened cat (Actual felines, not "people" from a 1920s noir movie)

Landing one of my most ambitious PRs to date — switching vixen's VFS RPC from TCP to SHM (who loves 3-letter-acronyms). I was in suspense the whole time that the macOS sandbox would get in the way and... nope! Works fine 😌 (This is Rust⇄Swift IPC btw, using facet + postcard under the hood) […]

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@fasterthanlime/116042282732957348 the vision:

someone should build a website to receive alerts when github is up

just added mermaid.js support to dodeca which involved teaching the HTML diff about "opaque nodes" (rendered by JS) so it could simply call the JS renderer again with the new content instead of a flash-of-unrendered-content 😎 https://dodeca.bearcove.eu/

"And do you, Claude, consent to take (redacted) for your wife?" "...actually, this seems like a major life commitment that requires careful planning and execution. Let me write a document about what we've learned so far and file an issue to follow-up on that"

one of the few "original github" things left (which, I'm pretty sure, is rooted in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicorn_(web_server) — correct me if I'm wrong)

So everyone thinks there's no good reason why GitHub Actions would have you wait until the entire workflow finishes before you can retry failed jobs, but actually... there's no good reason.

You write code. It has bugs. You add instrumentation. It, too, has bugs. You—

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@fasterthanlime/116031861598615477 The last time I saw this, I don't think it was actually causing the hang, but this time, under a lot of pressure, all the tokio worker threads were trying to spawn rustc at the same time, and there were no threads left to service VFS […]

Today I have to learn about Swift against my will. Send thoughts and best practices.

Today is a great day because I: - vanquished Apple's notarization service - profiled code where memcpy (well, memmov) was /actually/ the bottleneck - have a legitimate usage for `fork()`

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@artificialmind/116028350139279698 hurray

Is there a german word for "the satisfaction you feel when you find the exact URL to deep-link 5 clicks into the macOS System Settings app after 2 hours of searching"?

did you know: if you mount an FSKit filesystem on ~/mountpoint ...and the filesystem gets stuck somehow, then: * you won't be able to open terminal windows * `ps` will hang * `killall` will hang fun!

Do you think we can outlaw merge commits if we campaign hard enough?

Last week I started learning about formal verification tools, and today, folks working on those tools are submitting pull requests to my project. Pretty cool stuff! https://github.com/facet-rs/trame/pull/6
