🦀 From Rust to Reality: The Hidden Journey of fetch_max questdb.com/blog/rust-fe... #rustlang

Should package repositories start doing phishing tests of their own users? @patrick.risky.biz

Rust has frustrating deficiencies; the issue tracker has excellent explanations, but my expectations exceeded reality. I have been able to solve each problem thus far, but in ways that feel like ugly workarounds to cover for missing features.

if the presence of hype makes you completely unable to think about reality independent of the hype, that is not resisting hype, it is surrendering to it totally

@tsoding.bsky.social Regarding your pastebeam client, a random nonce should be no faster than an incrementing nonce(assuming your hash function is uniformly distributed). Also, to make the work difficulty depend on message size, you must prefix the nonce, not the salt.

Great joke, even if it wasn’t meant to be.

If you missed my talk at Rust week, or just need to hear the jokes for a second time, it's now online! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z9D...

@tsoding.bsky.social .NET on Linux experience:

@peergos.org Congrats on the micro grant from FUTO! I hope they’ll help you get more publicity, too.

@ernerfeldt.bsky.social The egui ecosystem is absolutely amazing, thank you for creating it!

The new karate kid movie has Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio in it! This video is better than any trailer, I haven’t been this excited for a movie in a long time. youtu.be/zZR6Dp6QrjA

Taking great interest in a subject you discovered on your own is not getting nerd sniped. Nerd sniping is done to you by another person. A concept cannot nerd snipe you. You cannot nerd snipe yourself. There are other terms for that. This post is brought to you by: linguistic prescriptivism.

You could re-use the case and put Sensor Watch guts from @joeycastillo.bsky.social in there: www.sensorwatch.net

@patrick.risky.biz I hope you cover in this week’s episode that the US administration is/was not only using signal, but a backdoored version that is allegedly insecure af. Unbelievable.

@ianopolous.bsky.social I can’t believe I’ve never heard of peergos until now, I hope it is as good as it seems! I agree with your critiques of DNS in your libp2p talk, the DNS we have today is antithetical to privacy. “[we] kill people based on metadata" ~ General Michael Hayden

I know it's easy to hate on the web as a software platform but every so often I have to fill out one of those turing complete PDFs for some government service in acrobat and it reminds me that there was more than one circle in Dante's inferno.

I'm giving a talk on Vim at Rustweek. I want to share some "omg" vim tips – anyone have favorite "aha" moments, or obscure-but-useful key mappings?

Are there any B2B SaaS companies providing an AT Proto relay api for app views yet?

Naïvely pasting “curl | bash” is insecure. I am not naïve. Therefore, I shrewdly type “git clone && make” instead to get the artisanal security nightmares.

Modern processors are so complicated, we should say “hardware interpreted” vs “software interpreted” languages instead of interpreted vs compiled languages. Too many syllables so probably not, but it seems more correct.
