Faster linking times on nightly on Linux using `rust-lld, https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/05/17/enabling-rust-lld-on-linux.html.

> Here are more details from the ripgrep example mentioned above: linking is reduced 7x, resulting in a 40% reduction in end-to-end compilation times

tl;dr: Rust now packages a rust-lld linker (it’s LLVM’s lld), and uses it on Linux by default on nightly, which decreases compilation time greatly.

cargo mutants, https://mutants.rs/

A useful tool to do mutation-based testing on Rust projects.

Reminder: mutants aim at testing your test suites —whether they catch all your code details—, not your code itself.

I enjoy writing algorithms more than I would like to admit. Optimising, explaining them, breaking complex things into multiple simple things, it’s clearly a pure mental joy.

About xz: fortunately it was an open source software. Imagine if it was close source, imagine if individuals or companies were injecting malicious codes in all their softwares, what a disaster it would be.

Oh. Yeah. It’s sarcasm.

Please don’t blame the open source model. This attack/backdoor has been detected because all softwares were open source. Blame the free volunteer-based economy, that is foundational for large stacks, yup, that’s OK, but not the open source model.

2024 Edition Update, https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2024/03/22/2024-edition-update.html.

> This is a reminder to the teams working on the 2024 Edition that implementation work should be finished by the end of May

The article lists changes of the 2024 edition, like Future and IntoFuture will be part of the prelude, RPIT lifetime capture, the gen new keyword etc. Interesting.

USV, https://github.com/sixarm/usv.

Unicode Separated Values (USV) data markup for units, records, groups, files, streaming, and more.

A better CSV, TSV, or ASV. It uses existing UTF-8 symbols. An RFC for the IETF has been submitted, https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt.

It comes with Rust crates. Even converters, like usv-to-csv and csv-to-usv (https://github.com/SixArm/csv-to-usv-rust-crate and https://github.com/SixArm/usv-to-csv-rust-crate).

Pretty neat and clever!

An EV that charges 30% faster? Volvo and Breathe think their tech can do it, https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/03/volvos-new-battery-software-could-cut-ev-charge-times-by-30/.

> Instead of having prebaked charging data that governs that battery pack throughout its life, Breathe instead has developed a dynamic battery management system that provides much more granular control over the pack as it charges. Consequently, it says it can improve charging times by 15–30% over current packs.

Next adventure’s stop: Dygma Defy (https://dygma.com/pages/defy). Will order it in a couple of weeks.

Now the only question that matters: should I switch my keyboard layout at the same time, or is it a too big step to start with? For the moment, I’ve a boring classic Apple keyboard (which I don’t like, hence the Defy).

Most designs I see for home automation apps are pretty but absolutely not convenient to use. It should be super quick to do an action, otherwise it’s better to just do it physically.

Redox updates, https://www.redox-os.org/news/this-month-240229/.

Massive performance improvement:

• Reading from memory: from 110 MiB/s to 1.6 GiB/s
• Raw disk: from 22 to 600 MiB/s
• RedoxFS: from 6 to 170 MiB/s

That’s impressive!

Reminder: Redox is a novel OS written in Rust.
