With #GitHub 's recent problems an old blog post of mine is more relevant than ever hugotunius.se/2024/01/20/s...

I wrote a comment on /r/rust that was vaguely positive about LLMs for coding, shouldn't have done that. Sitting at (-5) atm. They really don't like AI over there.

Join us for the #PostgreSQL #Edinburgh #meetup on Thurs, April 23rd! We will hear from @hugotunius.se on lessons learned building a Postgres extension, and by @vyruss.org who will live fix some bad SQL! Where: Paterson's Land, Room 1.21 Time: 6pm pizza and chat, talks from 7pm 👇 luma.com/v2rrpszi

Git has Rust now? based

I have a new problem. These days not only does neovim start rust-analyzer, so does claude. Because of this I frequently end up with rust-analyzer eating 16-20GB of my ram and my whole system falling over as I hit the 32GB limit

It's going to be really fun tomorrow when the Supreme Court rules against Trump's tariffs (hopefully).

It's unbelievable how stupid Trump is. The Supreme court might rule against his tariffs and he's truthing up a storm about how bad this would be. If he had passed the tariff via congress, instead of illegal EOs, none of this would be on the table.

If the people building AI products did more #UserResearch, they'd be able to figure out what problems folks actually have where AI can help. www.techspot.com/news/110879-...

Very normal stuff, not concerning at all www.youtube.com/watch?v=KckG...

There is always an XKCD

I've got the strangest #rustlang bug. A few our own crates at work refuse to build when I pull them from the registry, but if I patch them by pointing directly to the same commit on disk it's all fine. Been like this for weeks now, no clue what's wrong.

Veratasium released a video about ASML and EUV lithography 1 day ago. ASML stock is up 5% today, seemingly as a result of the video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiUH...

I was randomly perusing my CS2 inventory the other day and found a skin worth £150. For the life of me I don't get why anyone would pay that, but hey I get a free copy of Battlefield 6 🤷‍♂️

I saw a 2004 vs 2024 metalcore Youtube Short a few days ago. I've only listened to early 2000s metalcore since

Finished an initial version of my #postgres ID type github.com/k0nserv/plid. There's one unfortunate allocation in Rust that I haven't manage to eliminate... bsky.app/profile/hugo...

There's this one person, I think anyway, who keeps creating sock puppet accounts for every HN thread about Rust. I'm pretty sure them and I had the exact same exchange in two separate threads...

I'm playing around with the idea of a ulid inspired id type that adds prefix support. Using the excellent #pgrx Rust crate it has been trivial to build a #rustlang #postgres extension for this. plid=# SELECT gen_plid('u'); gen_plid --------------------------- u_06DHRQH6SJT7N2WEQK4910R

THIS WEEK: The first #PostgreSQL #Edinburgh #meetup! A prime opportunity to hear about the #database that's—slowly but surely—taking over the world, and network with fellow #developers and #OpenSource enthusiasts. Thurs 11 Dec, 6pm, University of Edinburgh Old College! RSVP here ▶️ luma.com/b9kv5fds

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

Loved talking Glen about #webrtc and Sans IO in #rustlang – full on geek talk! podcasts.apple.com/es/podcast/n... In other formats here: netstack.fm#episode-16 #rust #rustlang #sansio #rustlang #code #webrtc

Getting into #homeassistant. I love the idea of the project, but I hate the move away from config in code and IAC. Cattle not pets people

on type safety

#Edinburgh #PostgreSQL community, our first-ever meetup is here! 🐘 Join us for pizza, networking, and two great tech talks (all levels!). 🗓️ Thurs, Dec 11 @ 6 PM 📍 Old College, UoE 🗣️ Topics: #Postgres Tips for App Devs + AI/RAG with pgvector 👉 luma.com/b9kv5fds #TechMeetup #AI #pgvector #Database

I am relieved to resolve my "watch this space" pun 😀, and announce the second set of Rust and Friends presenters this month will be Tiago Santos and Cafer Eren Şimşek talking about "Rust in Space at Spire" 🛰️ 🦀! #rustlang

There's an unformed blog post in my head with the title "Rust Has Low Cognitive Load Actually". It's trying to escape. #rustlang

"Memory Safety for Skeptics," where I argue why memory safety is worthwhile to pursue amid competing priorities! queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?i... #rustlang

My favourite Youtuber released on of his biannual videos in which he teaches an octopus to play the piano www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcWn...

Pleasantly surprised to learn that #postgres implements grapheme clusters: SELECT length('✅'); 1 The docs say "Returns the number of characters in the string.", but you never know what "characters" means in a sentence like that.

Another day, another malware campaign of zero consequence for those who don't deal in fake internet money. I guess this is the one upside of cryptocurrencies. blog.rust-lang.org/2025/09/24/c...

Like #Rustlang? #Chess? What about #AI? Then how about "Exploring a State-of-the-art Chess AI built with Rust"? Please come along to hear from our second speaker, @affinelytyped.bsky.social , at the July Edition of Rust Edinburgh: www.meetup.com/rust-and-fri...

Apple has rediscovered the Aero interface. Deeply unimpressed. #WWDC

Yeah, I don’t like Liquid Glass #wwdc

Thinking about LLM security. It's a bit like phone phreaking because it's all inband-signalling. Unlike phone phreaking I'm not sure there's a way to move to outbound-signalling, it's a fundamental limitation of the model. Brought to you by invariantlabs.ai/blog/mcp-git...

No one is surprised, everyone is disappointed

Leader pushing for AI adoption have it all wrong. Top down mandates to use AI aren't the way. If you are convinced AI will make people faster, increase your expectations and make AI tools and training available, then follow up to see if metrics improve(compare teams adopting AI to those that didn't)

If you use `lh` units in your CSS, you can start to establish vertical rhythm in your web designs. Learn how in this short & easy tutorial. webkit.org/blog/16831/l...

Interesting POC rootkit that uses io_uring to perform tasks without using any syscalls, making it invisible to security tools which rely on those. The approach was found effective against many of the most popular security tools also used in containers: github.com/armosec/curing

It's the year of our lord 2025 and Slack still doesn't support syntax highlighting

Trump is so #JuchePilled, Kim Jong Un really go to him with the letters

Been attempting to code using Cursor for about 1 week now. It's not particularly good. There's so much hype about it, but my experience has been: - It struggles to follow instructions - Generates poor code - Goes off on random tangents - Forgets quickly #BadVibes #VibeCoding

Lmao 🤣 savages

Been trying some vibe coding recently. The vibes: mostly anger, some frustration. If it didn't make so many silly mistakes and go off on a bunch of unrelated tangents it would be pretty usable

Roses are red Violets are blue

So I have been thinking. Maybe Trump got really into Juche, North Korean state ideology, during his bromance with Kim Jong Un. Juche prescribes economy self-reliance and it's lowkey the best explanation I can think of for Trump's whole tariff thing.

God damnit. Honestly, it's like politicians come stock with a trigger that turns of all critical thinking if someone says "protect the children" or "stop terrorists" Time to donate Open Rights Group and EFF. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
