re offline Rust: everything in crate docs, or rustdoc (the cargo manual, incl. unstable features, etc.) you can take with, but, for example, neither serde_derive nor serde_macros actual documents container/field attributes.

reading proc macro sources in anger is no fun!

I've noticed a weird trend where people who aren't engineers but interact with them such as Recruiters all capitalize Rust as RUST and I have no idea why.

Every time there's a CVE affecting some fundamental part of modern computing that Rust provides a dot-release for, it seems multiple publications find out first from the Rust blog and publish titles implying that Rust is the only affected thing. It's not only mildly annoying hearing the echos of "har, har, I thought it was 'safe'", it does a complete disservice to anyone that doesn't use Rust because they won't find out they have to update or mitigate the issue too!

GitHub, but with microtransactions. Every ticket 10c, comment 1c.

Core competencies are something I think about a lot. I love to dig into what makes companies or ecosystems or social groups tick. Especially when that core competency enables what they do:

McDonald's, for example, is a real estate company that happens to make burgers.

Walmart is a shipping logistics company that also sells things.

What other examples can you think of where the core competency of the company is such that the "thing" a company does falls out naturally as a consequence?

I love explaining complicated subjects in a quippy way that isn't necessarily wrong. For example:

Kubernetes is 20 while-true loops in a trench coat pretending to be a container orchestration platform.

What are your favorite quippy ways to explain a complicated topic? It could be anything! I'm just curious what y'all have :)

After almost 9 years of Rust I've come to the conclusion that it's not just the way we write errors that's bad, it's also that Result guides us towards bad error handling and ? Makes it worse (handle my error? No just chuck it up the stack) I just need to write a post soon huh

I also think thiserror and anyhow are detrimental to good error handling as well and I'm guilty of doing this. The easy way to write error handling is the bad way to write good robust tools and programs

let's imagine you're resolving this merge conflict (in screenshot).

You've forgotten which code comes from your current branch and which one comes from the "other" branch. How do you figure it out? Do you:

1. remember what the "top" and "bottom" parts correspond to from past merge conflicts?
2. remember what HEAD means?
3. read the last line of the merge conflict?
4. run something like git show main or git diff mybranch..main to see the diff?
5. enable diff3
6. something else?

impl dyn Foo + 'static where Self: 'static {
fn hello(&'static self) where Self: 'static {}
}

For when you want to really be sure that your #Rust trait object method is invoked on an owned type.

hello fediverse, it’s the weekend in most places and I know you’re doing some nerd shit (which isn’t limited to computers!)

please share your nerdy hobby projects with me so we can all share in some wholesome dopamine harvesting ✨

things that count in my mind: computers, gardening, knitting, metalworking, flower arranging, glassblowing, felt needling, organizing, woodworking, scrapbooking, elaborate cat castle building, house DIY projects, basically anything with niche interest + skillset

This week I have been deeply surrounded by death, decay, heartbreak, and unraveling relationships. Most of it isn't mine directly, but I love my friends deeply and feel things a lot.

Which is to say: can you tell me a happy memory or interaction or anecdote you have of us? Or something this week that made you feel happy to be alive? I would love to hear what you have to say :blobhaj_heart:
