A bunch of folks at Oxide uncovered a tricky deadlock associated with async Rust (yes, another!), so--of course--@bcantrill.bsky.social and I got the crew together to discuss. If you're writing async Rust, you'll want to know how to avoid and diagnose "Futurelock"

There are only a few projects whose release notes excite me and @typst.app is one of them
Typst 0.14 is out now! Get ready for production with accessibility, PDFs as images, character-level justification, and more. Learn about more of the highlights in Typst 0.14 in the thread below ⤵️

I am looking to get my hands on some #Illumina 5-base methylation data - does anyone have a bam file that I could use for some testing? Please RT for reach!

At #EuroRust and picking the talks about stuff I would never look into otherwise :) cosmic was interesting and now learning about Petri nets

Wrote a blog post about this, I thought it was quite interesting https://deterministic.space/bufwriter-lz4.html
Rust BufWriter and LZ4 Compression
Recently, I’ve been working on a Rust project again.It deals with bioinformatics data, which can be quite large,so I got to play with profiling and optimizing the code.I’ve done some of this in past, but this time it was actually useful.In this post, I want to talk about a small optimizationin working with LZ4 compressionthat made a big difference in runtime performance.

Random #rustlang insight: A `BufWriter>` is faster than `lz4::Encoder>` for me when serializing many small structs. Super easy to swap around but only came up with it after looking at a flamegraph

I needed a "reasonable" debug file format in #rustlang so 1h later I have serde, message pack, and LZ4. And another hour later, I have tricked it into reading a stream of message pack documents out again

That looks like a really cool job! I’ll be looking for contracting jobs from September again, but this is tempting!

Got to play with @typst for a recent project and it very much satisfies my urge to structure text. Its language and packages are convenient enough that I’d want to use it whenever markdown doesn’t cut it, and never use google docs or pages again.
