I don't share short-form video much, but this is so strange that I have to ask around to see if I'm missing some context. He can't really be saying what it sounds like he's saying, can he?

Gender's best work so far, imo... an investment in time, but worth it this weekend.

I don't feel great about #rustlang requirements in #debian. The Rust Foundation/Community would then be in the position of determining which devices can use Debians and offspring.

It would be one thing if the support matrix matched Debian's, but it doesn't; so strictly, it reduces the # of platform

Hot take: #Haskell would be dominant, if not for its broken dependency management and library distribution. It might be a reason that #Rust is ascendant.

(I am so interested in new idioms, with functional safety, simplicity, and parallelism, in the future of Rust. Nearly all the pieces are there...

As the aur is down again (doesn't really affect me), but it does make me wonder:

Why is Linux distribution infra always under attack these days? The malevolent AI scraping has been mitigated, so this is something else.

Someone with an axe to grind? Or more evil and organized? #linux #arch #ddos

Next up in my unsung heroes list (bsky.app/profile/daem...), and speaking of #ECS, here is what inspired me, and probably inspired everybody else at the time, T-Machine:

Having listened to this show, #Bevy seems like a project done right. I would love to be part of a project like this, if it is what @alice-i-cecile.bsky.social so ably describes. Not just because I love ECS, but because of how it's been organized. Beautiful.

@rust-lang.org @rustfoundation.org It is good that so many engineers and scientists are aware of the social implications of our labor.

However, one glaring contradiction is the community's dependence on GitHub infrastructure. Rust needs need get off asap, and ideally, onto libre servers.

Totally unrelated to a lkml item, Rust's styling tool rules for import statements has to change, as it makes trivial merge conflicts too hard to solve:

doc.rust-lang.org/beta/style-g...

ie, Rust needs to drop the "as few lines as possible rule", and prefer one module per line. #rustlang

Despite the title, it's not that heated. If you have time, or can 2x, it's worth it to see the establishment conservative intellectual take on a Twitch streamer.

There are many stories which are candidates, but the story of what happened yesterday in South Chicago should definitely be international news.

A whole building, with complicit landlords, was assaulted by a military force, with citizens detained overnight, their belongings thrown away.

It's here.

Amazing. Worth the time, I watched it in three sittings.

I won't quote from it, for fear of ruining the brilliant pacing.

One useful thing that Krauss's book provides: a list of names that should trigger an opensecrets.org search, should you see them.

The president is currently ad-libbing medical advice about acetaminophen, MMR vaccines, "toughing it out", and autism.

The "doctors" in his administration are not stopping him. #autism #tylenol

"Don't take Tylenol" omglol... risk high blood pressure during pregnancy.

Today is going to be a worrying day for autistic people, and disable people in general. We can now only hope that our work toward solidarity was enough.

Reach out.

Have to say, #rustlang has become a beautiful language.

I'm coming back to it as my main compiled language, having only tested it in its early days (it changed significantly). They made it a ergonomic language. I can't wait for more idioms to evolve.

And the job market and community seem ok...

One of these things is not like the others.

Truth. Does @democrats.org really think they can weather this? This party is ending. I was slow to come to this, being swayed by entryism; but when the primary process is openly undemocratic, and it invests in sad, opaque orgs like @wearechorus.bsky.social , what are we doing?
