TLDR; back pressure is really important. Unbounded channels are a bad idea and dhat-rs is a really cool crate.

You can vibe code your way to a working prototype. You cannot vibe code or one-shot your way to a competitive product that works at scale. The hard part isn't writing code; it's the architectural supervision.

We're actively looking to grow our team at @ersc.io again! If you are interested or know someone who might be, I'd love to chat.

We are looking for distributed storage folk as well as frontend/UX.

They're trying to squeak one more Harrell Administration priority through before the end of the year: allowing huge-ass corporate signs on skyscrapers in Downtown Seattle.

Every new terrible GitHub announcement and outage makes me more eager for what @ersc.io is cooking 👀

Genuinely curious: is there any other reasons besides making more money that would warrant this charge? The comments already point out the fact that network ingress/egress isn't being charged.
GitHub Actions charging per build minute for *self-hosted-runners*? Shit's about to hit the fan lol

Wonder why man pages don't include layout information for structs? Just learned about layout differences for man7.org/linux/man-pa... across x86_64 and aarch64. It's packed on x84_64 for 32 bit compatibility but isn't packed on arm.

Incredibly disappointed (shocked even) that the plan is to make the default Rust mutex not poisonable in the 2027 edition. Poisoning is one of the best examples of Rust focusing on rigor, and removing it from the default mutex would be a massive step backwards.

Switched to a team already using rust and expanded on the projects written in rust since then.
How did you get your first job programming with Rust?

I have a suspicion that most people just added Rust to their company's tech stack before it was officially sanctioned, thus creating a Rust job.

There's still a lot of curable ballots from Seattle (about 1,800). Most are unsigned or signature mismatches, and most skew younger.

Proud of the Python Software Foundation for doing the right thing and standing up for their people, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

This is so incredibly condescending from the Seattle Times. Do you also ask male candidates if they'd considered running for an "easier" office?

Bruce Harrell's campaign is fundraising on the need to "fight back against the influence of outside money."

The PAC set up to spend on Harrell's behalf has raised $1.2 million so far, compared to the $86,000 raised by the PAC set up for spend in support of Katie Wilson.
