I'm not a "Linux Guy" really but I started re-evaluating it lately, and I think it might not just be for the Tech Weirdos anymore. It can absolutely be a daily driver for a lot of game developers now!

I've just discovered (should be Sir) Roy Kerr (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Kerr) , mathematician famous for his solution for rotating black holes published a paper last month which showed do not have to exist in a , at least not how the 2020 Nobel prize winner Sir Roger Penrose described. For this is a huge deal. For media it wasn't worth a mention. But, here is a description of what he's done if you are game. https://flip.it/iwDh4a

Decades spent making it easier to drive and hard to get around without a car has backfired, making it worse for everyone.

UC Berkeley study confirms that yes, EVs do what they promise to do

EV adoption does, in fact, make the air cleaner. Perhaps even more importantly, the study offers some quantifiable, granular data about how much electric vehicles are impacting emission rates in the here and now, not just in the foreseeable future.

One thing about Mastodon is they're going to bring it with the lentil recipes. We got that covered over here.

I rag on github a whole lot, but this is one feature it has that I really like.

Since JiaT75 backdoored xz-utils, I have blocked him and now get to see a warning in every project he touched.

I hope wasmtime et all are doing some careful review..

In case you are in and around the Netherlands on May 7th, consider going to RustNL.

There will be a "Rust in the industry" track: https://2024.rustnl.org/industry/

I'll moderate a roundtable discussion on adopting Rust.
@timClicks will also be there. :)

poll: how confident do you feel that you know what the term "fast-forward" means in git, for example in this error message:

! [rejected] main -> main (non-fast-forward)

or this one:

fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.

(I promise this is not a trick question, I'm just writing a blog post about git terminology and I'm trying to gauge how people feel about various core git terms)

@b0rk@jvns.ca avatar

also i’m curious: what do you think “fast-forward” means in git? mostly interested in answers from folks who are not totally confident in their answer

(as usual please no arguing or telling other people they're wrong, I'm just curious about people's different impressions)

It’s a really difficult time to be raising sponsorship for a tech-industry adjacent community event! We’re still seeking sponsors for @emf this year, to help us cover live talk transcription, on-site childcare, transport, and expense support for speakers, artists, and attendees.

If you’re interested or know someone who is, I’d love to hear from you. More info at https://emfcamp.org/sponsor 💖

Have you had experience, successful or otherwise, promoting within your company? Especially to other teams and departments once you’ve started using it in your own team?

I would love to hear what you think went well and what you would have done differently in hindsight.

Comments in replies and boost for visibility please! 🦀

Regular reminder that if a compiler error isn't clear, we consider that a bug. File a ticket! Worst case scenario it gets closed as a duplicate. Second worst it takes us a long time to get to them. But I assure you I've read every single open A-diagnostics ticket at least twice.
