For this year's blog post I wrote about a weird bug with datetimes and internationalization. tuckersiemens.com/posts/applic...

To end the year, a new major version of #rustlang reqwest, v0.13.0 is out! 🚀 - This brings rustls by default, replacing native-tls. 🦀 - Some feature and method cleanup. - But easy to upgrade for most everyone. seanmonstar.com/blog/reqwest...

Anyone know someone at @1password.bsky.social who could help explain why having their Firefox extension enabled breaks syntax highlighting on my blog? Best I can tell is it might be the inclusion of prism.js leaking. 🤔

FWIW, fs-err now supports File::set_times and File::set_modified.

evergreen

Man, Codeberg feels like pre-AI GitHub. So refreshing to use. 😌

Just finished reading Ken Liu's "Mono no aware". Helluva short story.

Maudit looks cool as hell. I'm enjoying Zola at the moment, but I might have to give this a shot at some point. 👀

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

and yet, with ~some variation, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME MAP. the same SPECIFIC map a map of the ~entire planet collaborating on a desire for technical and social excellence... except for America and its imperial extent, choosing to be worse.

I just want the person at GitHub who made Codespaces generate names like "nightmarish-casket" and "supernatural-spooky-monster" that I see them and greatly appreciate their antics. Happy Halloween! 👻🎃

Do not interact. Do not contribute. This is not Twitter. We do not get baited here, we block here. You hated Twitter, so stop trying to recreate it. Block here are nuclear. Take advantage and subscribe to this list blocking all government accounts in one go. bsky.app/profile/eva....

it is more important to read books you actually enjoy reading than books that are Literature

#rustlang PSA: you probably don't want #[allow(dead_code)], you probably want #[expect(unused)]

big fan of the r#<ident> syntax in rust i should use it more

why does the largest yaml file simply not eat all of the smaller yaml files

Plane Wi-Fi is stupid impressive these days. Downloading the .NET SDK in under 2 minutes while 37K feet up and moving at 538mph feels like magic.

The crates.​io team was notified of two malicious crates (with similar names as legitimate crates) which were actively searching file contents for Etherum private keys, Solana private keys, and arbitrary byte arrays for exfiltration. See the blog post for details: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/09/24/c...

When constructing tuple structs, you can use curly braces with integer keys. These are identical: let x = MyType(1, “hello”, true) let x = MyType{1: “hello”, 0:1, 2:true};

happy Hackers (1995) day to all who celebrate

Man, whoever did the download/update UI for dnf5 really nailed it. Simple, clean, informative. Very slick.

I went to #RustConf this year. I enjoyed it. But now that it's had a few days to settle this feels pretty real to me. Hope the organizers reflect on that a bit.

Had a great time at #RustConf2025! 🦀 Already looking forward to returning to Montréal for RustConf 2026 next year. ✌️

Today's the day! 🦀 Just picked up my badge and I'm really looking forward to all the talks tomorrow!

A practical introduction to parsing (in #rustlang) jhwlr.io/intro-to-par...

Tab groups + vertical tabs + expand side bar on hover + full screen in @firefox.com is sick. 😎👍 I don't need the AI tab group naming though (like, at all). 😩👎

tfw you're writing longer and longer specs, repeating yourself to eliminate any global context, using formal words to avoid ambiguity, and finding the right tokens that appear in the training set to get the desired output if it's programming it's programming with mittens on

I hate the term “code smell.” If you can’t articulate the actual material problem with what you’re complaining about why should I listen to you

computers were better when they went beep boop and had blinkenlights

AI is the new microwave.

Honestly, generators are the last major thing I want from Rust.

If you, a business, are reliant on an open source project to function it is YOUR responsibility to assess and ensure the health of that project by either contributing to it yourself or by using an alternative if project health cannot be guaranteed.

God, the Stack Overflow developer survey this year sucks so much. "In the future, when AI can do most coding tasks, in which situations would you still want to ask another person for help?" Uhh... All of them? I like interfacing with other people. I'm a human engineer, not a robot.

Tip for reading these headlines: remove "the debate over" or equivalent from them and reread them

a lot of y’all haven’t sat outside crossed-legged in the dirt watching the tiny ants crawl across the ground while a fresh breeze blows in your hair in awhile and it shows

May is Bike Month! We were wheelie happy to see 100+ people on bikes at our Bike Everywhere Day station in Seattle last week! We asked cyclists: Why do you love biking? Here's what they told us...

There is no safe and valid business reason for AI video generation with sound other than for misinformation. Similar to when they cloned Dolly the Sheep and the world decided that human cloning wasn't cool. Folks need to decide this isn't cool.

if you know someone who was impacted, call them. Support them, lend them your network, your references, your referrals, and your time. This is a day with a lot of tears.

Sinners is a real good movie.

In 2025 what's the best way to write a #Rust library that exposes both a sync and async interface?

unwritten rules of CLI design: if your tool is blocked on an operation for more than a few seconds and it's not in "porcelain/machine-parseable mode", show a damn progress indicator. tell me what it's doing at least! spin if you don't know the ETA! do something!!

So that's like saying, "We upgraded the food storage in the fallout shelter from canned food and MREs (a 70 year old technology) to modern gas station sushi rolls and ripe bananas! 🤡
