A developer is only as good as their IDE. I wrote up how I built a sick Leptos IDE in neovim with autocompletion, formatting, auto tag closure, and highlighting of RSX in view! macros!

Using Rust for full stack web development has a lot of advantages, and represents a competitive advantage for some applications.

My talk from Rust Nation UK is now a blog post!

An incredibly technically complex #backdoor in xz (potentially also in libarchive and elsewhere) was just discovered. This backdoor has been quietly implemented over years, with the assistance of a wide array of subtly interconnected accounts:

• https://github.com/tukaani-project/xz/commit/ee44863ae88e377a5df10db007ba9bfadde3d314
• https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1067708
• https://github.com/jamespfennell/xz/pull/2

The timeline on this is going to take so long to unravel

It takes about as long for C++ developers to learn Rust as to teach Java developers Kotlin. About 8 weeks/2 months.

I compiled my Rust/C++ crate to WASI and used it to build a markdown editor with live preview! Then I wrote about it!

I'm very excited about the future of webassembly and wasi preview 2.0. I compiled my Rust/C++ crate femark into a wasi component, and used it to make an editor with live preview and syntax highlighting for Leptos

Is it reasonable to expect a program to return 0 if successful or non-zero if not? Rust doesn't seem to do tha by defaultt, and it seems like it might be archaic #rust #rustlang #linux

Why is it that fast food in foreign countries is so much better than the US. KFC in Japan has a whiskey bar, Wendy's a foe-gras and Truffle burger. Why do we tolerate that?

If you ever see a single person bitching about sex workers advertising on mastodon with the premise that it's "meant to be an ad free space" please tear them a new one.

The circle of safe social media platforms for sex workers keeps growing smaller, mastodon may be one of the only places we have left.

Please don't kick us out too.

I can think of few people who can teach Rust better than @timClicks
He's got a few more slots in his pay-what-you-can course. Check it out

Y'all have no idea how excited I am that Rust's http crate is going to be Clone on November 15!

I reduced my incremental compile times, and you can too. Probably.

From observing companies' recent behaviour, it appears that the cool thing about AI is that you can call yourself an open source company without actually being open source.

Urgh. Got woken up at 3:19am by a test of the earthquake alert system that was supposed to happen at 10:19am... but they accidentally scheduled it in UTC instead of California time zone!

I mean, time zones are hard, but still - such a rookie error

I swear, for the love of god, to whoever makes these UI pages: stop being so fucking creepy.

Seriously, what the actual fuck, you people sign me up for emails I don't want, and then I get opt out buttons like this:
