I've sent my first Rust RFC PR out for review! Take a look 🦀 Unnamed enum variants let you reserve discriminants as valid - very useful for FFI, serialization, and embedded. If you put `_ = ..` on an enum to reserve the rest of the discriminants, you can `as` cast from the backing integer! #rust

this is blowing up some so for some context: - this is because ultimateframedata.com got an email from Capcom telling them to take down hitboxes from SF6 and so all SF6 info is gone from the site - officially Capcom's problem is that they do not allow using "unauthorized methods" to obtain game data

"If you're unsure whether a communication is legitimate, make sure it's from TrumpAccounts.gov", they say, from the official privacy policy hosted on TrumpAccount.com.

Oh. eMudhra's ISO certification is just fraudulent. This is much worse than incompetence xxcancel.com/kingslyj/sta...

I’m telling you that the extreme exposure to scams is a big part of the reason so many people are negative about our economic future.

The Rust Style Guide used by Google has been open sourced! google.github.io/styleguide/r...

🚨🚨🚨 PHP PATCHES JUST DROPPED 🚨🚨🚨 Go update right now!!! www.php.net/archive/2026...

(generating certs for my root CA) ok now let's do a silly one

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

The details are now public, as of two hours ago. bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi... The secret P-384 keys for these intermediate CAs are all zeros except the last 8 bits. All not-updated software can be MITM'ed now. IOT boxes that can't or don't update are now trivially MITM'able forever.

im engaging with your program in compliance with the standard. i have no incentive to miscompile it

of course im not optimizing on undefined behavior. there's no undefined behavior to optimize on :) why would i miscompile your program. i don't have any reason to do that

Cosmically funny when a long time mystery has a totally benign answer

actually, not even half! her first day on the job was monday so she lasted…less than 5 full days a scaramucci is 11 days

That was actually Google's policy circa 2009: if you had a problem with trans people using the gendered bathrooms, then you were invited to use the single stall gender neutral toilets yourself.

Update: Nick G. from Anthropic has responded on HN, and I believe that the attribution is now sufficient. I stand by my posts as of the time I wrote them.

When I voted for Joe Biden in 2020 I told everyone who would listen that the Democrats had failed to make the primary about finding someone who could beat back the growing fascist threat. I said that while I was willing to vote to kick the can down the road a few years, that was all we were doing.

I have since privately received information that the lack of credit was in bad faith, and that this was a blatant and intentional ripoff. I'm not the only one disheartened by the lack of due credit.

explaining the rust ownership model:

Two months ago I reported on Amy Acton’s anti-trans turn and fears Dems would go the way of Labour. Some mocked me for it. Now that list is up to 28 major dem elected officials and entire state governments.

If we want to regulate AI, why not start with a simple law forcing LLMs to use "Meesa" instead of "I"? Easy to build, easy to verify and deflates a hype while still allowing people to use chatbots (so no one can claim we are limiting anything)

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Oct Advocate TN court overturns conviction of a man who repeatedly shot a Black trans woman, ruling that a lower court “erred” in preventing the killer from using the victim’s trans identity in his defense and seemingly endorsing the notorious "trans panic" defense.

(confused) I believe LLMs are conscious, but only Deepseek LLMs, because of the Chinese Room theory

"do you want a code sent via text or via email?" idk both protocols have arbitrary transit delays and imperfect spam filters, so why don't you send the same code to both and we'll see which wins

As hospitals across the country cave to the Trump administration’s threats to cut federal funding and abandon trans youth, actor Elliot Page speaks out. In New York City, NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, and NewYork-Presbyterian abruptly ended care for trans kids in response to these threats.

State-level anti-discrimination is a worthless protection when the feds are the bigots Every one of those doctors that refuses to provide care is a coward rather than standing in solidarity with trans people. I frankly don't care what their independent legal counsel says: make them fight

This seems like a pretty big deal: donors made illegal contributions to Susan Collins and then were awarded lucrative contracts after her office intervened with the Navy. An FBI investigation was dropped under Trump. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

Dude thinks he's appealing to "moderates" (really just a handful of right-wing podcasters) and can't stop printing out receipts that say "Gavin ain't got that dog in him." His veto may as well have been sent from another planet where Republicans don't instantly breach every supposed norm.

It is extremely, EXTREMELY, insensitive to descendants of the Holocaust to in any way downplay the seriousness of talking about people being "sent to camps", a statement that should not be normalized in any way at all. Ever. Because of all the people that died, Aaron.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

If you’re an Equality Organization and you endorse anti-trans Democrats, then no you aren’t.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social At the natl level, Dems have so far blessedly remained supportive except for a half dozen who are consistently anti-trans -- all in the House-- and a dozen who backed specific bills with anti-trans provisions. www.erininthemorning.com/p/the-guide-...

this is an…unbelievable paragraph. yeah, what could be the difference between the court overturning a duly-passed and signed law and the court overturning an executive memo that violates the law?
