Fellow #rust and #lldb users, how hard is it to add support for some common library types like SmallVec or SmolStr? I want to inspect my nice inlined types!

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"

What's this pattern in #rustlang called, where you use a block to initialize a variable? I use it all the time

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!

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

Please share: I'm still looking for a postdoc in computational genomics to join my team in Oxford. If you want to help develop better ways to detect AML from epigenetic profiles in blood, then get in touch!

Great team and environment, 3-year secured funding, ideal for transition to independence.

Only took me a month or so but finally listened to https://corrode.dev/podcast/s03e09-season-finale/ by @mre — I’m still hyped about #rust in 2025 and I’m looking forward to using it more again!

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.
