Money and politics is the destroyer of familial relations.

It’s pretty easy to spot the troublesome SAns. They’re the ones deifying the oros man in D.C.

This was a lot of work, since it exposed several bugs in the C code generator and type checker that I had to fix, all the while ensuring parity between the C and R' code! Making a compiler self-hosting is hard when the bootstrapping compiler isn't stable yet, but I'm eager to not touch C anymore!

Got home yesterday from a good but tiring week in 🇲🇺😅

i went through a bunch of allergy tests, blood work, etc, just to find out no one knows by have random swelling in lips and chin about once or twice a month. it's really getting annoying. i don't want it to be related to my jaw surgery from 6 years ago but i'm out of ideas.

jfc google what the fuck????

yoh, that rain was hectic

Is anyone actually serious about getting the iPhone "Borat" pocket?

the reason i've stopped blogging recently is that i always want to do long-form stuff, and i feel that i always have to do proper research and references for that. for opinion pieces i don't feel like i have good or interesting opinions.

it’s raining, and although i love the rain, it’s just amplifying the how underwater i feel with my anxiety this past while. it’s affecting me physically.

I am so down for this -- I've been releasing software for 20 years under OSI-approved licenses, with the hope that this will empower individual users; but those who end up benefiting the most are likely Big Corps. We need a post open-source movement and better licenses.

.expect() is so unintuitive to me. You are supposed to phrase it in a way where you explain why it is not failing, for example .expect("the var exists"). But 80% of the time I write why the call is failing. I like to explain why the call failed, not why I was assuming it's going to work.

Google Slides' lack of SVG support is one of the most frustrating things ever... Unfortunately my hands are tied on my choice of slides tool. Keynote is miles ahead. HDR rendering, SVG support, and so on. I'm pretty sure there are good open source alternatives that have SVG support, but, alas.

sigh. just need to get through today.

The wildest thing is, as far as I can tell this feature is pretty unique among natively-compiled language test runners. Bazel test has a --run_under flag (bazel.build/docs/user-ma...) but it doesn't connect stdin so using it for terminal-based debuggers is hard.

my rust-analyzer seems drunk today.

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println, panic, format, write, log::info, etc. (Everything using format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉

bsky, remind me to walk to the pharmacy tomorrow during lunchtime. thx

We're late posting this on the main account - but yeah, check this out!

last night i took a spider hanging from the ceiling of my apartment down to the jasmine bushes outside. i hope she likes it.

happy fountain pen day!

A bunch of folks at Oxide uncovered a tricky deadlock associated with async Rust (yes, another!), so--of [email protected] and I got the crew together to discuss. If you're writing async Rust, you'll want to know how to avoid and diagnose "Futurelock"

“you’ve got hail!”

today i was a lab rat at the allergy clinic. skin prick tests, blood draws, anxiety, cold hands, hard day and then back to work! burrito for dinner and one exercism task. mission barely accomplished.

Indie developers now have more tools in their toolkit for building with Swift across platforms, thanks to Skip. Exciting to see a Swift community member building a business with the open source Swift SDK for Android. skip.tools/blog/skip-fu... #Android

Electron is such an underrated launch vehicle.

BTW, I would really like @consumerreports.org to watch this video and perhaps start breathing down the necks of those big companies for forcing everyone into using pre-dosed products. That's the opposite of pro-consumer, imo. youtu.be/DAX2_mPr9W8

t64 flat burr grinder any good?

we seriously need a proper ostrich emoji. thanks to egyptian hieroglyph support in unicode we have 𓅦, but that’s not enough for an ostrich fan like me

can we get passkeys for bluesky yet? at least let us do webauthn for 2fa. the email 2fa is inconvenient/annoying.

ok so don’t order (pricey) second hand books from germany if they don’t do tracked shipping… 😢
