I don't like LLM tools, but I do agree with this take. But I'd go further and say if we put more effort into open source libraries and tooling the amount of work the LLM would do could drop to near-zero. Arc<Cow<String>>-ish types would allow humans to write fast Rust easier too
Hot take maybe but Claude would generate faster Rust if Rust had arc-cow stringy types because it’s picked up so much of that “just clone it” bs that we teach new users to avoid thinking about ownership

ICE sporadically murdering innocent people is normal and expected while these public officials avoid accountability. These people must face a public trial and impeachment now.
“ICE > MN”
Our fascist leaders explicitly declaring that their untrained paramilitary of goons, a two-decade agency whose massive budget funds thugs in hoodies and body armor with rifles, is more important than an entire American state of 6 million people.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

It's times like these that I wish clamp accepted a range-like. Then you could just write x.clamp(..=N), x.clamp(N..), or x.clamp(a..=b). Much clearer IMO
I do wish Rust's num types had one of the following aliases:
* `.min(N)` -> `.at_most(N)`
* `.max(N)` -> `.at_least(N)`
There's a lot of places where you want to ensure that something is non-zero for example, so you'd write:
`value.max(1)`, but I ALWAYS accidentally write `value.min(1)` instead.
* `.min(N)` -> `.at_most(N)`
* `.max(N)` -> `.at_least(N)`

Maybe a hot take but "a11y" and "i18n" make me irrationally mad: these abbreviations are only used because because people aren't confident enough to spell accessibility or internationalisation right the first time in EMACS/vim/VSCode/etc. and decided to make it everyone else's problem.
using “a11y” is ironically not at all accessible, and terrible UX. can we all agree to stop using it, along with “i18n”?

Had a little free time at night this week and finally started looking at hobby programming again. Wanted to play with the Toy Machine, so I decided to make my own virtual machine for it, then an assembler, and finally a macro preprocessor, all in Rust.

Season 1 of The Promised Neverland is easily my favourite show and ending ever made. Season 2 of The Promised Neverland is quite possibly the worst show and ending ever made. Thankfully, season 1 is so well contained I think it's still a fantastic watch.
Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:
What's the *best* ending to a show you've ever seen? Quote/reply etc

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

I'm very disappointed to see this happen, and that there is a significant proportion of r/rust users who when presented with the facts focus all their energy on what the victim should've done, rather than what the community should've done instead.

Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Hot take: if the use of unwrap() is unacceptable in your application because crashing must not happen, then you should already be wrapping the application in a system to gracefully handle said crashes and keep moving.
The problem with this is in practice pretty much all prod Rust code contains a significant amount of unwrap because extremely frequently you know an unwrap can't fail but the compiler doesn't. Grep most popular crates for unwrap and you'll find it.
