👋 FEEDBACK WANTED ..on this preliminary #rustlang reflection MVP design by oli: github.com/rust-lang/ru... (the PR works, you can compile it and play with it, see rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org)

if no tracking, does not exist

My use of the em-dash with respect to LLMs

Rust 1.90.0 has been released! ✨🦀 This release makes LLD the default linker on x86-64 linux-gnu and adds `cargo publish --workspace` to publish an entire workspace all at once! Check out the blog post and release notes for more: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/09/18/R...

The Ministry of Truth has FTFY 🙂

Pretty neat little open source EM FEM solver github.com/FennisRobert...

why if “excellent” feel like crap :(

forgejo/codeberg is really buggy. there’s no point trying to leave comments on individual commits lol.

is it weird i instantly got the reference? :)

ordering books from germany as a south african is an extreme sport

xkcd 303 but for running our functional tests locally. my sword fighting involves reading a book or doing review where needed if i'm up for it.

if your home office has bad natural light (really not ideal), then the best thing can recommend is very high CRI lighting (98+). it really makes a world of difference! also i’d recommend a bunch of Dracaena trifasciata (snake plant) to keep things green and the air clean.

i think the “smart” shopping list categories feature on ios is trying to kill me…

home alone another week :/

Bak, Tang & Wiesenfeld's sandpile model demonstrates Self-Organized Criticality perfectly: one grain triggers massive avalanches! Small events, large and non-local consequences - maybe also in markets, politics, ecology. Made with #python #numpy #matplotlib

ha!

i'm enjoying hyprland on nixos, but i'm probably going to switch to cosmic when the beta rolls out. the window tiling is great and it provides a bunch out the box. i used it in early alpha and it wasn't quite ready yet (of course!), but come september 25th...

Weekend inspiration: #SAAF Oryx medium-lift helicopter sortie in the Drakensberg mountains.

Two Zimbabwe Air Force pilots died in a training crash on 10 Sep. The jet went down shortly after take-off during a training sortie from the Josiah Magama Tongogara airbase in Gweru. Whilst the type of aircraft is unconfirmed, it could be a Hongdu K-8 Karakorum. RIP aviators.

i really need to organise my home office. it makes me sad.

Update: It was awesome.

good morning. brain no work today.

Tantalizing— but needs confirmation through careful analyses in laboratories in Earth. This is why we must bring back the samples that Perseverance has so carefully documented and collected!

isn’t it funny how right-leaning outlets minuscule coverage when it comes to scientific news. is that a feature? like this (possibly) organic chemistry going on on mars… only 6% coverage. ground.news/article/scie...

I have recently taken a keen interest in go (the board game) again

you know, i’ll gladly make a small payment to read your article but i don’t want to have to subscribe to 200 different outlets with my credit card…

ankifying my studying again. good night!

i choose to work at places based on their mascots first and foremost

actually an accurate rebrand lol

Repo for my #rustconf talk with links and notes is at github.com/sunshowers/c... -- have a look!

hard to find specifics, but one interesting aspect is that it uses ARM64 CPUs (a new design from NVIDIA), and it's mostly aimed at parallel GPGPU computation. a significantly different architecture from usual supercomputers www.fz-juelich.de/en/ias/jsc/j...

excuse you?

webgpu on firefox stable by default on linux wen?

my handwritten “{“ always comes out beautifully, but “}” is a dumpster fire.

focus on the locus of hocus pocus

starting fresh this month. haven’t touched grpc/protobuf in a minute. they brought (back) optionals in proto3? that would have been nice like 5 years ago 😅 also I get to touch sqlite and postgres! 🎉

The grim view is that AI companies will need to fund new art because they've run out of content to train on. Especially considering that a lot of recent text is LLM generated, poisoning the data set

Polynomial roots in loop! Made with #python #numpy #sympy #matplotlib

way more ethical than audible, you get to support a local bookstore, and no expiring credits! pretty nice. libro.fm/referral?rf_...

is nextpnr failing to build for anyone else via nixos-unstable? strange because there hasn't been any update to the package. is suspect a dependency issue elsewhere in nixpkgs...

the 3 wise rust composers went hir, they went thir, they brought mir.

morning, frens ☀️

when people say they hate ai these days, I assume they mean LLMs and other creepy generative media, because they can’t be talking about good old ML with classification/regression models that help detect/predict cancers, natural disasters, walking, etc etc.

On episode 508: Descartes’ Demon — William Griffin sits down with Chris & Elecia to unpack hardware-in-the-loop testing, simulation, and how we actually learn complex technical topics. Here’s a taste of their conversation:

some of you need to make like travis kelce and engage with a tailor swiftly

seeing the dollar's decline over the last 6 months or so has been pretty clear to me as my contract is USD-denominated... sigh...

In 2023, our team started on sudo in Rust with Ferrous Systems for Prossimo. Now, under @trifectatech.bsky.social‬, they've helped bring sudo-rs to a huge milestone: the default sudo for the upcoming Ubuntu! More on the Ubuntu blog: buff.ly/37uB4wr 🙏 Marc, Björn, Marlon and Ruben! #rustlang
