I'm excited to share what I've been working on with @erikjee.bsky.social: RustNL's #rustlang Maintainers Fund! Many people and companies contributing to Rust, but there are fewer and fewer paid positions for general maintenance (reviews,cleanups,etc). We need to fix that. bsky.app/profile/rust...

GitHub just used an image generation AI to generate an image that shows off a new feature on their platform: github.blog/changelog/20... Look at the text in second image with the emoji.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

I urge companies to take funding contributors seriously, in ways that aren’t tied to projects and goals. Being a generalist in the compiler meant that often I wasn’t working towards a roadmap, but my contributions *always* paid off in the long term extensibility of the language.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

I made a replacement for stdrs.dev since that one is no longer updated: std.noratrieb.dev. it documents all private items in std

I made a quiz about the JS Date parser is. It's very easy and you will score very high. jsdate.wtf

I've redesigned my website! It's now cool: noratrieb.dev

I wrote a blog post! not on my blog this time blog.rust-lang.org/2025/05/26/d...

Here are all the posters I designed for RustWeek 2025! 1. "Box<impl Future>" (Back tot the Future) #rustweek #rustweek2025

People Angry At Guy Because Instead Of Only Fucking Over Minorities He Also Fucked Over Everyone Else

I like to believe the information looks at me the same way McConaughey did in Interstellar when I'm using the Confluence search

Black holes swallow all information you feed into them. But information can't be destroyed, instead the information is slowly emitted as hawking radiation, impossible to reconstruct in practice but technically there. This makes them just like Atlassian Confluence

Some very nice diagnostics improvements for GCC!

an often forgotten effort of transitioning is beating all your previous mario kart time trials records you achieved under your deadname with the new name

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter: (1) your haters are trash (2) you’re a baller, a true queen (3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️

LOL wow a dude just argued in the EU courts that misgendering is a GDPR violation and he *won*. www.wearequeeraf.com/a-trans-refu...

a compiler "target" is a terrible name for what it is. it should have been called "platform" instead

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Pub washing glasses with dirty water from the street: not ok! Must invest in plumbing. Pub serving meat stored at room temperature: not ok! Must invest in refrigeration. Pub air dirty and saturated of whatever others exhaled: totally ok! You just get sick. “Winter.” No need to invest in filtering.

i'm only 3 paragraphs in, but can already tell this is gonna be a banger of a blog post > The concept of a hash table was first described by Hans Peter Luhn in 1953 in an internal IBM memo that suggested speeding up search by placing items into “buckets” [...] go.dev/blog/swissta...

New blog post: the monad tutorial of my dreams, and maybe of yours! A jargon-free, practical explanation of monads as a design pattern, using Rust and property-based testing as the vehicle

Okay this is more viable than I anticipated now I feel like I have to flesh this out. I think this is what you could label as actual first class IDE support for macros. I am astonished at how well this works.

If you treat people sufficiently badly, some of them may "explode" and do bad stuff out of frustration. If your main takeaway from such a situation is to tell them to never do the bad things again and don't focus on why this happened in the first place, you're doing it wrong and it will happen again

Sometimes I'll just make thumbnail graphics for YouTube videos that don't exist.

This bit goes to the core misconception in the general population that computer systems are «neutral» or «objective». Software serves someone’s interests. The question is whose interests. This is also why it matters if certain services are privatized or under-regulated.

💭 why don't CPUs just use SQLite for their state? its transactions are robust and well tested, perfect for speculative execution

a triumph of memetic engineering

do not like this skeet anyone doing so will be blocked on suspicion of being a bot

looking for a partner, ideally with support for - SSE3 - AVX2 - cmpxchg16b let cpuid unite us💘

The JavaScript library React uses JSX, which stands for "asynchronous JavaScript and Xml"

if your dynamic library or binary calls external functions, the dynamic linker will resolve the symbols, allowing you to execute them. This is commonly referred to as symbolic execution.
