People want a technical solution to what is ultimately a judgement problem.

People know that unwrap can cause a panic. That's the choice that's being made when you unwrap. Changing the name won't change that.

“We adopted #rustlang for its security and are seeing a 1000x reduction in memory safety vulnerability density ... with Rust changes having a 4x lower rollback rate and spending 25% less time in code review, the safer path is now also the faster one.”

My momma bestie is my auntie
My auntie friend that go to her church is also my auntie
My 75 year old cousin... is also my auntie

"Auntie" is what happens when you understand the expansive proposition of family

"That's not your aunt" is what happens when you live outside of restorative community

I currently have availability for Rust coaching, adoption, or development; from a single call to ongoing 3 days/week. I can help your team get things done, adopt Rust and use it more effectively, or to accurately evaluate Rust as a new technology.

The family had filed a missing report after their 15 year-old autistic son went missing. “He is sometimes non-verbal. His social worker says he has the mindset of a 4-5 year old. […] The family discovered that he has been in ICE custody since Monday.”
A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

In August, I was interviewed by JetBrains about programming and Rust, ranging from the borrow checker, to agentic coding, to hiring. And it's now on YouTube! It's also general enough that it should be interesting even to those not already knee deep in Rust 😅

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

It’s official: the United Nations Commission of Inquiry concludes Israel is committing genocide.

The UN body calls on nations to stop sending weapons to Israel, ensure people within their jurisdiction aren’t aiding or inciting the genocide, and hold those who are accountable.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

When it comes to seamlessly integrating the bike and train, proximity of parking to the platform is everything, with Dutch railways dictating the walk not exceed four minutes. Which is why Tilburg Station has built two bike parking facilities totalling 7,500 spaces—one on either side of the tracks.🧵

The running joke about Oxide is they're a podcasting company that's building computers for content.

(all jokes aside, Oxide and Friends is really really good, and so was On The Metal before it. I highly recommend listening to both)
