To be a bit opportunistic (as in I recognize it's much more complicated than this implies), this is a good reminder that Clippy or other pedantic tools should be on in prod with minimal nolints.

End of the day I believe code *should* be harder to land, actually. If it's not right ship it tomorrow.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.
We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Today’s my last day at AWS working on the Rust compiler. Unfortunately, back in July I received notice that I had to choose between moving to Boston from NYC, or leaving the company due to RTO policy. I unfortunately couldn’t abandon the city I plan on being my long term home.

for whatever my signal boosting is worth: michael here is also an incredible developer who you should also be racing to hire.
coding interviews are a joke and i'm gonna be so pissed if i can't get a job because i don't know how to find some "trick" to solve some toy problem that has nothing to do with developing and maintaining a massively complex compiler codebase, which is a thing that i *am* actually good at doing.

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter:

New blog post + cargo-semver-checks v0.42 is out ✨

I found some unexspected sharp edges in the `#[target_feature]` attribute. They are getting fixed (teamwork! 🤜🤛), and cargo-semver-checks now also has lints to save you from footguns!

Rust slower than C? This cannot stand…

Let yourself be nerdsniped for cash!
We created a safer AV1 decoder, rav1d, by forking the dav1d decoder and rewriting the C code in Rust. It works great except our Rust is 5% slower than the C. We're not sure why so we're offering a $20k bounty to figure it out and make the Rust code faster. www.memorysafety.org/blog/rav1d-p...
$20,000 rav1d AV1 Decoder Performance Bounty
In March of 2023 we announced that we were starting work on a safer high performance AV1 decoder called rav1d, written in Rust. We partnered with Immunant to do the engineering work. By September of 2...
