ME, IN TEARS: you can't just say every single part of a computer system is a file

UNIX, POINTING AT THE MOUSE: file

Is there any decent way to make this work in Rust? I want a trait which lets you get an array. And every impl of the trait can choose their own array length. play.rust-lang.org?version=stab...

ousterhout solved this problem three decades ago by bravely declaring java a systems programming language

Finally got around to using a treap for my Rust CVM implementation, as Knuth (literally: cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/paper...) intended. Its implementation is compact (~150 LoC, but maybe there's some perf left to wring out of it), but it works real well: crates.io/crates/cvmco...

Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.

Hey @bsky.app team -- @trezy.codes runs a full verification process with the Games Industry Labeler.

Would be great to onboard him as a community verifier sooner rather than later.

Here's a fun Sunday puzzle for data minded people out there:

* COBS is a bit-stuffing technique, it changes the bitstream when encoding
* CRC is designed to defend against corruptions of the EXACT bit pattern on the wire

If I want to frame my messages with COBS, how do I also CRC them?
