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...

This, but instead of "economics" it's "Using LLMs"

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...

This is "The Dealmaker" in action? pathetic

The checks really aren't checking and the balances really aren't balancing, are they?

"Unlike the Biden administration, which never tried to hear Russia's position, this was a very clear effort to start dialogue, understand Russia's position and discuss the things we agree upon." - Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund.

I find people with, ostensibly, long careers who speak with great confidence about areas they have no experience in deeply suspect. The Dunning Kruger effect is forgivable in young people, but if you haven't realised the limits of your knowledge after decades, something is off.

Question for you: What should (new Intl.DateTimeFormat(undefined, { hour: 'numeric', minute: 'numeric', timeZone: 'Europe/London' })).formatRange(Temporal.Instant.from('2025-10-26T01:00:00+01:00'), Temporal.Instant.from('2025-10-26T01:00:00Z')) return, 01:00 or 01:00 - 01:00?

DST can fuck right off, that's it, that's the skeet

This is the dumbest timeline

I played #civilization VII all weekend and I'm happy to report it's solid! The UI and UX is quite poor and there is a lot of explanations missing for various game mechanics in the civopedia. However, the gameplay is fun and the graphics(outside of the UI) are beautiful.

It's that time of year where, as a European, I watched all the super bowl ads but none of the game or half-time show

Stop what you are doing and watch the new Webbed Briefs episode briefs.video/videos/why-i...

Happy #civilization VII day to al those that celebrate

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms. The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

Europe should introduce new visas with favourable terms and simple processes for all high skilled Americans, now seems like a perfect time for a brain drain.

The American's(really, Trump) are mad about Fentanyl entering the country from Canada. They say enough fentanyl to kill 9.8 million people was seized last year. Thing is, a lethal dose of fentanyl is 2mg, they are being pissy about 20kg of fentanyl.

After years of the crypto industry claiming to fight for liberty, privacy, and free and open information and tech, I'm very excited for our new "pro-crypto Congress" to protect access to medical care (including reproductive and gender-affirming care), data privacy, press freedom,

Presumably they also paid for the API use so at worst they violated the TOS.

This morning I read that DeepSeek used training data generated from other language models which has companies like OpenAI fuming, and I can't stop thinking about how there's a lesson in there
