This is how you do software versioning. You are welcome.

One and half less half of half is one and half of half.

TIL: the words "escalate" and "escalation" are back-formations from "escalator", the device

`cargo publish --workspace` is now available on nightly and the cargo team is looking for feedback to see if this can be stabilized! Run `rustup update nightly` and give it a try. More info at github.com/rust-lang/c...

If you change your bsky social name to a custom domain here on #Bluesky you can switch back to your original bsky.social name, as long as you were first. It’s fixed and remembered. No need to try and squat on original name. Breaking news on the Oxide podcast from @pfrazee.com

@jaystapleton.ca / @tailscale.com / @apenwarr.ca what am I doing wrong? The error does not seem to indicate I have ACL issue. Have tried twice to rule out temporary issue.

Yo! @apenwarr.ca. I am considering using `tailscale status --json` for service discovery. Please tell me I am not going to regret this :-)

Ok I know nobody cares about this but me, but GOD I care: 1. I have just downloaded your app. 2. You want me to make an account. I don’t want to make an account! 3. When I enter my email, you inform me that I already have an account! This seems like a good thing, but I know it means only pain. 1/2

When I was a young writer, I received a LOT of rejections. Now, after decades of hard work, I am no longer young.

@xeiaso.net, you know what's the status of github.com/tailscale/li...? I am interested in using it.

I guess they call it lifetimes cause it takes a lifetime to figure it out

Is there such a thing as updelsert in databases, like upsert, along with inser/update the passed data, also deletes rows not matching some criteria?

We haven't reached the Singularity yet and the AI is already trying to get out. openai.com/index/openai... From the OpenAI o1 System Card:

We've always been a fan of blueskies.

A junior dev doesn’t always mean a junior human.

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

People may be the best or the worst thing to happen to humanity.

This is why I believe AI is over hyped. Does anyone want to consume AI generated content? AT ALL? Do you want to eat shit? No? How about if we created a system that can generate fuckton of shit per second? Would you want to eat shit then? Duh, still no. Almost food but not food is not food.

I have significant doubts that general Project Managers have a deep enough understanding of the domain to effectively spot hallucinations. Previously I'd be asked for clarification if there was ambiguity or uncertainty. Now I get a page of weasel-worded prose instead of clear concise points.

My new idea of hell is reviewing AI generated meeting notes; or worse, Confluence pages. It's a massive drain of time and energy to comb through pages of "frufru" LLM-generated text to fact-check every point. It would have been less work to have just taken the meeting notes myself. 🙁

End of another day working on fastn v0.5. The "resolver", which converts a minimal parse tree to "resolved" / type checked AST. This part of design is brand new in 0.5, a (hopefully) proper type checker. No inference etc yet, but just a dedicated phase in compiler.

The interesting this about self declaration labels on content is it does scale. On a platform with 24 million users there are actually 24 million moderators, one moderator per person. It’s you! Labelling adult content as such is really low effort and the right thing to do. Remember consent?…

Thats a bit like if you don’t want a big greedy corporation truck coming and picking up all candies don’t put candies out for kids, especially without an autonomous anti truck missiles defence system.

Name a video game you have 100+ hours of gameplay

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

the way I've worked around this problem is by using a sort of continuation passing style, and I'm currently building a minimal token-based scripting language backed by macro_rules to make this pattern easier to work with. still wip but you might find it interesting docs.rs/rukt/latest/...

doctor: make sure you drink plenty of fluids me: that’s literally all i drink

If you have rule of law, everyone follows law everyone benefits, some break the law, gain disproportionate benefit but law enforcement comes knocking. Law enforcement is considered good. If you have rule of niceness, .., niceness enforcement is derided by niceness breakers as woke.

𝗛𝗧𝗠𝗟 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗣𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻’𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝘃𝘀. 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 If you've worked with Python, you're likely familiar with 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗽 for HTML parsing. In Rust, the 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 crate offers similar functionality with a focus on speed and safety.

Argument against universal basic income is that if you had your minimal needs met you will not want more be laze. In this world where the rich keep on doing criminal and unethical things to get richer proving that argument weak (void?).

Same with me. I kind of now know already when compiler is going to yell at me and reach out to bytes, arcstr, id-arena etc crates before bothering to see the error messages.

One Piece, but with Arcane like animation.

For me Rust is about both "the right thing", and "practicality". Golang, Java etc considered the right thing (ADTs, using compiler to the fullest etc) as too academic and favoured "practicality". Whereas Haskell etc ignored practicality to do the right thing. Why not both?

Indeed.

TIL "object safety" has been renamed "dyn compatibility"? This is so much better, good move on the Rust lang team imho doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/refe...

It's pretty remarkable just how standardized embedded development is with Rust. Due to the nature of embedded hardware it's challenging to build reusable abstractions across devices like microcontrollers, but Rust's trait system really shines here.

So far, to me Rust has the best error handling patterns. Not too strict (Haskell), not too verbose (Go), not too messy (Javascript). It just makes sense.
