my psychiatrist asked about my work banner in the background and we ended up talking about php, 4, and rust, huh

society if rust had used the terms shared and exclusive from the beginning

i really dislike this purity argument, where having some kinds of restricted mutation preserving strong guarantees is the same as “doing almost nothing to restrict normal mutability”

nvm it half stopped working AGAIN so I went to a computer shop and bought a new (and hopefully better) one

me & gf trying to fix my laptop who's wireless chip died. "so 69 is hard-coded but 6 and 7 are just sequentially chosen" life truly is something

the problem got fixed only after I unplugged and then plugged back in the wireless card...

tough part of getting good at Slay the Spire is realizing that sometimes you really do have to pick the first one

yesterday I was biking next to a truck (separated by bushes) and I noticed that we were very close in speed, so I started "racing" it for now and giggles (trying to closely match its speed).... and the driver took a selfie with me???

work has me deep in the unsafe nitty gritty details of Futures and memory pinning, and i thought it'd be funny to pin her to the heap too. idiot #rust #programming #async

Code is art but it is art in the same way that the written word is art, or GUI design is art, which is that to most people it is part of the wallpaper of the universe, not conscious of the fact that someone still has to design their wallpapers

may@maysuser.name

my ultimate thing about "is code art" is that code is art but especially on larger and more corporatized projects code is designed to be so standardized and interchangeable in a way that's largely incompatible with the way we talk about art in the same way that a soap opera is

so, if you do a video call on a phone that is also used as a hotspot... it will indeed be a Hot Spot, overheat, and eat battery like crazy

Monday morning outside Rotterdam Centraal, thousands of cyclists stream toward the station in a carefully choreographed flow. What you’re seeing is the power of systems thinking—the bicycle and train both succeed because they work together seamlessly, where each mode extends the reach of the other.

not only programming languages deserve thought out infrastructure which considers safety as an important component of the system :)

1. Netherlands has great bicycle infrastructure and it's all over the country, not just Amsterdam, and should be copied by government elsewhere. 2. On a per capita basis there're probably more Dutch Rust developers than any other country. Don't know why.

I'm afraid that the internal usb hub on my laptop is dying....... and if it's true, I'm not sure what i can do...

ever since getting a bunk bed I've been finding out that a lot more girls are tops than I was expecting

I had to do bureaucracy™️ today and have been gendered as: - he- they? - she - they I think I'm winning at being gender confusing™️, especially given that all these people have definitely seen documents that state my sex lol

Exactly one year ago I stepped down from my main responsibilities in the Rust project, because of burnout. Today, a year later, I employ about a dozen full-time Rust maintainers through Hexcat+RustNL. I'm not doing much technical work anymore, but this people stuff is also pretty fun and motivating.

Mara Bos@mara.bsky.social

I'm excited to find something new that gives me energy and motivation. Most likely, that new thing will have something to do with Rust, but I don't know yet what exactly that will be. Maybe teaching Rust, or writing another book, or solving #burnout in open source.. we'll see. :) 3/4
