Christmas in the UK starts too early. Christmas markets even close weeks before actual Christmas Eve and New Year eve.
Basically 6 weeks of Christmas 😮💨

Multithreading in Rust becoming even easier
🦀 My "inheriting thread locals" aka "thread spawn hook" feature has been merged into #rustlang as an unstable feature! You can use it to automatically copy thread local state into new threads, which wasn't possible before. Available on Rustc nightly tomorrow!
github.com/m-ou-se/rfcs...
github.com/m-ou-se/rfcs...
![#![feature(thread_spawn_hook)]
thread_local! {
static MY_THREAD_LOCAL: Cell<u32> = Cell::new(0);
}
std::thread::add_spawn_hook(|_| {
// Get the value of the thread local in the spawning thread.
let value = MY_THREAD_LOCAL.get();
// Set the value of the thread local in the newly spawned thread.
move || MY_THREAD_LOCAL.set(value)
});
MY_THREAD_LOCAL.set(123);
std::thread::spawn(|| {
// Automatically set to the value from the parent thread!
assert_eq!(MY_THREAD_LOCAL.get(), 123);
});](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yood7rhvorqjgyvlileb5jco/bafkreicypwp4zm2vsnmdfgws3b2xsyx676qduytnzxquqjo63h6cyg72oe@jpeg)

Because it is Thursday on Bluesky there's another debate on the UK-EU relationship, and I feel forced to point out that 90% of the discussion has an almost exclusively UK focus when 90% of the likely decision making would be taken by Brussels.
And on that note, there are some issues...
