Bonjour de Montréal! Come find me at #RustConf this week.

We need a conversation on AI coding etiquette. First thing: should we treat agentic code differently than human code? I hear a lot of people saying: Your code is your code whether or not you use AI and you need to stand behind it. I don't fully agree. I want to know when code is human vs LLM.

We started the Diplomat Rust FFI project as a way to scale ICU4X (a Rust library) to many target languages. Since then, multiple other clients have discovered Diplomat, and through the magic of open source, we have new targets including Kotlin and Python. You should consider using Diplomat, too!

The Clipper reader is broken on this bus but there's a fare inspector onboard giving people trouble because everyone is riding without paying. 🤷 #SFMUNI #transit

It's a regular occurrence for a car, taxi, or even another bus to be blocking a bus stop and obstructing the view. Is it the responsibility of the passenger to proactively monitor the traffic and flag down the bus 😳, or for the bus driver to honk and alert the passenger? 🪿 #transit

@bridainep.bsky.social Nice talk today at UTC! In one of your slides you talked a bit about Sean being pronounced as either Shane or Shaun depending on diacritics. I would be curious if you could elaborate on the etymology of these two names and how the vowel sound changed!

I guess I'll have to blog about this tomorrow, but "LOL, Trump TACO'ed out" is decidedly not the right reaction as compared to "that kind of brinkmanship is really fucking dangerous". Original post

PSA: Since the retirement of Kubernetes Ingress-Nginx [^1], I've been very happy using F5 NGINX Ingress Controller [^2]. I should have been using it all along. Yes, I was confused about the naming, too. #k8s #nginx [^1]: kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/ [^2]: docs.nginx.com/nginx-ingres...

There need to be consequences for leaders who avoid solving the root causes of problems. A first step: institute a threshold for ATC staffing (if one exists, it clearly isn't enough), and when an airport falls below the threshold, don't clear flights to land until more controllers come on duty.

A big accomplishment! As a champion, it is rewarding to move the needle on dates and times not only in JavaScript but across the industry, especially for non-Gregorian calendars. And as an implementer, ICU4X was born in part out of Temporal and now powers Chrome, Boa, and Kiesel. 🎉

Overheard people who make six figures complaining that BART, which needs the money, is raising their fares, from $4.88 to $5.15 on average. 🤨

It was great to visit Tokyo for JSConf.jp and TC39 last week! Now I'm down in Kyoto being mesmerized by the fall colors. 🍁

$ rust -v Command rust not found 😔 $ rustc -v error: no input filename given error: aborting due to 1 previous error 😠 (finally worked with rustc --version)

Really exciting to see this finally coming together! It's been a long journey for myself and many others, and I'm very happy with where we've landed.

I've heard people describe the Oakland Ballers as a "low-level minor league team". Wrong: they are a team of high-caliber players disenfranchised from MLB, like their fans. Just look at Bufford, Almanza, Chewy, etc, all very talented, and manager Aaron Miles, a World Series alum. #LetsGoOakland ⚾

💚 💛 Ballers fam, @MayorBarbaraLee just announced that we're going to keep the party going! 🎉 See you there! 🍾

OAKLAND WE DID IT!!!! 🏆

What does it say when Idaho Falls intentionally WALKS Christian Almanza, not once but TWICE in the same game for the Pioneer League championship? He's the silver slugger of Oakland, baby! #LetsGoOakland ⚾ @oaklandballers.bsky.social

It's the final game of the People's World Series! Come on Bay Area, let's turn up for another sell-out!

Great game! Nice work Gabe Tanner for staying focused and allowing only 2 runs on almost 100 pitches, and Cam Bufford for the textbook 3-run homer to finish off the 8th! Here's a clip of Sully's last pitch of the game! #LetsGoOakland 🟩🟨⚾

I'll be there! We'll remind everyone that Oakland has the best fans in baseball.

Not happy with #SFMUNI tonight: 2nd time *in a row* for me that route 55 has not come. It's not late; it just *never came* to bring me from Dogpatch to BART. It's also impossible to track because this is the second stop on the line, so I can't verify whether it's on its way or not. 🚍😞
