To give Kyle some credit, he's been writing (and speaking) brilliantly and beautifully for years on a variety of topics
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

My colleague Dave Pacheco wrote up a great description of a new (to us?) Rust async pathology--"futurelock"--another extremely sharp edge to watch out for, with no particular guardrails. Of course, we'll be talking about it with @bcantrill.bsky.social on Monday's Oxide and Friends

New post: SocketAddrV6 is not roundtrip serializable 😱

A journey from an innocent property-based test at Oxide to the depths of the IPv6 specification, with tons of information about the flowinfo (and scope_id) fields. Give it a read!

Released cargo-nextest 0.9.111 with a pretty big improvement: in interactive terminals, up to 8 running tests are now displayed below the progress bar! This comes after some exceptional polish work by glehmann. (Thank you!)

Update now with cargo nextest self update :)

I'm looking to hire someone to help me build KCL! It's a programming lang for 3D design that we're making at Zoo. You'd be working closely with me on the KCL interpreter, the CAD API it calls, and our mechanical engineers. This is a Rust-heavy role. DM me any questions. zoo.dev/jobs/4619187...

New paper with @jakehughes.uk : Garbage Collection for Rust: The Finalizer Frontier. There are lots of GCs for Rust: we tried pushing as far as we could in a new direction, particularly looking at what can be done about the headache that is finalizers.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

On Monday, Dave Pacheco joined @bcantrill.bsky.social and me to reflect on his experience leading a large, complex (very complex) project to build automated update into the Oxide Rack. Hard-won wisdom on leadership and the avoidance of debilitating "organizational procrastination".

Finally got around to reading Build Systems à la Carte (dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...), it's really great (like everyone says).

I love papers like this, that take a well-known, messy, unloved area and propose a useful organizing principle for it.

It was me, Radia Perlman is goated
I had someone send me a link to this video, I'd heard of Radia Perlman before, but never heard her talk:

youtu.be/qXz_RxBFQ20

I REALLY dig this whole talk so far, and at around 27:40 she mentions CLNP, which seems to have a similar hierarchical approach (and merging L1-L3 headers!)

This was a great talk and I'm glad it was recorded and made public.

In addition to the technical elements discussed (updates are like the Ship of Theseus of software 😬), the project management aspects of delivering such a huge effort were very insightful.
Last week, we were treated to an extraordinary talk internally at @oxide.computer. It was at once an expository talk of a complicated software system and an experience talk of developing systems software in the large -- and it was far too good to keep to ourselves! oxide.computer/blog/systems...
