ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray. The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter. These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby. We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The article quoted here is a bit more reasonable than I expected from the excerpts, but still reaching too quickly for its conclusion. The theoretical properties of a 'vibe-oriented programming language' is an interesting question. Will think on this some more

Wild horses couldn't get a Greek joke through the gates of Illium. Carpenters could. I've been told it's all in the delivery...

In honor of @alyssa.codes's open enum RFC, I will now post selections from my transcription notes of the UnConf discussion from September

Have you ever wanted an open enum in Rust? Or to reserve a range of discriminants? What about `as` casting from a backing integer to an enum? Does ABI compatibility matter to you? If that sounds neat, take a look at this draft RFC I've been working on for the last couple of months! #rust #rfc

Ever wonder why compilers use `xor eax, eax` to zero registers? It's smaller AND faster—CPUs optimise it out entirely! Day 1 of Advent of Compiler Optimisations: xania.org/202512/01-xo... Video: youtu.be/eLjZ48gqbyg #AoCO2025

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

these quotes from the 2013 Rust dev chat are great <pcwalton> :( we need graydon <strcat> graydon.clone() <benh> strcat: I tried saying let graydon2 = graydon; let graydon3 = graydon; etc a bunch but it turns out that only moved him. He wasn't actually more productive afterwards, just really mad.

Probably some kind of joke you could make about how even manufacturing consent has been moved overseas

'cannot use numbers (variable of type [5]int) as []int value in argument to Sum [IncompatibleAssign]' Are you serious??? I can pass in a []int by just not specifying the array length, but I can't pass in an [n]int if I do??? @filipefreire.com make this make sense

"You can't put jokes in python tests" they said. "You can't use silly stdout outputs for pedagogy." Mad! Mad they called me, but look upon what I have wrought!

Just a sec. Thinking... Apologies for my previous confusion. You're absolutely right that the document isn't on Slack. This is my mistake, and I am deeply sorry. Let me search again based on what we've learned. ... Based on my analysis, the document is definitely on Figma at [broken link]

All these AI code-completion and code agents tools are doing irreparable harm to our data science students. Back in my day, we copy-pasted blindly from stack overflow with our own two hands! Like artisans!

The very best argument for using Rust over C++: Rust isn't going to break the new tensorflow release on mac because of a mutex lock. v2.20 has been out since august! At least we can switch back to v2.19

I am delighted that the rust community has already made cargo-pants, cargo-space, and cargo-road

How in the world does mlflow fail with a blocking mutex lock?

Unexpected LLM use case: reverse rubber ducking. I explain my plan at length to the LLM and have it repeat it back to me, then realize 'no LLM, that's a terrible idea, here's what you should ACTUALLY do' I think this is a practical application of Cunningham's law?

“I have no idea what the impersonator was trying to achieve. Had the organizers not emailed me, but him, with acceptance, would he have shown up pretending to be me? This is very confusing and frankly, disturbing.”

Now on my second read-through of 'On "Safe" C++' and I'm continuously impressed by @izzys.casa's ability to blow my mind and then smack me in the face with a stealth bomber pun in the span of a few sentences izzys.casa/2024/11/on-s...

I wrote (yet another) Jujutsu tutorial: www.stavros.io/posts/switch... I haven't published it yet, I'm looking for feedback first. Please let me know if it helps at all, or if you're still having trouble with JJ's mental model. I'm worried I've written yet another unhelpful thing.
