Trump deploying the National Guard on the city is yet another authoritarian show of force.

It's straight out of the dictator's playbook. https://youtu.be/WSxJRIiCNs8?feature=shared

Hey @ratatui.rs, on a scale of 1 to insane how hard would it be to create a rich text document editor in Ratatui? Like live Markdown editing?

Within a minute of the UK driving test website letting users in all of the new batch of tests were gone. Again.

I have been trying for months to get a new driving test 6 months out.

The shocking, violent reality of what bottom trawling does to the seabed and its creatures is filmed and shown for the first time in Ocean with David Attenborough. And then, after all that, three quarters of the catch is thrown away.

This is must-watch footage.

Another milestone in my Rust database. TIL Arcs can have a significant cost associated with them

My better-bbolt Rust project reached its first milestone this morning! Has the ability to walk and seek through database nodes in a lazy fashion!

One of the more fascinating bits I’ve learned being part of the Rust language Bluesky community is just how weird some of the detractors are. There’s personally not liking a technology (that’s fine!) and then there’s equating C/C++ with manliness and Rust is a woke mind virus.

And all of a sudden RustRover starts recompiling every test dependencies for every test run. Awesome.

I am approaching feature complete for reading Bolt databases in my rust better-bbolt project. It’s weird to be back at the basics after my first attempt. I like seeing how my development and architecture skills have grown since then.
It’s a bit like reading a fanfic I wrote in my teens, too. Cringe

This week I learned that Rust can do lifetime tracking with traits. A struct referencing no lifetimes, say an Arc wrapper, can still be made to respect a parent lifetime without explicitly holding the lifetime in a PhantomData.

Neat!

@massivemonster.bsky.social @cultofthelamb.bsky.social I know you’re working on DLC’s, but my son wanted to show off his vision for Cult Of The Lamb 2! He’s made a slew of new bosses, a unique crown for each, and lore. I love how inspired he is. Thank you for making such a great game!
