Sorry about the self-promotion, but I think that this is one of the best videos I've produced. If you're learning Rust, I strongly recommend scheduling an hour on the weekend to watch it. https://youtu.be/J3C6sNK2wnk?si=5js8GOAOdfUmnhGs

@pdp Yes, I knew that this approach was flaky. I probably should have mentioned some of the facilities that tokio makes available, such as the JoinSet and the select! macro

@digs Good luck with the programme. It sounds tricky. Hopefully the lure of food will keep them away from that fence.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but please don't use alcohol as medication.

@tippfehlr Wow, a serious amount must be needed "Ethanol is less expensive but is harder to dose accurately, requires close monitoring of the serum ethanol concentration, and causes inebriation that may necessitate intensive care monitoring.".

Bag 15 of the Lego Dungeons & Dragons set adds quite a bit more bulk to this section...mostly in the form of stairs. Also rocks. Not exactly super exciting, but you get what you get. Fortunately, the stairs aren't intricate this time, just the standard spiral staircase parts that have been around since Harry Potter sets from 2001. Still effective, though.

I am fairly confident that the entity that benefits most from YouTube's algorithm is YouTube.

Occasionally I get frustrated that videos I invest many hours to produce only receive a few hundred views, but then I remember that giving a talk in a seminar room is likely to be watched by less than a dozen people and takes similar amounts of preparation.

I'm humbled and awed to be in the company of so many accomplished artists, researchers, practitioners, guardians, technologists and designers as part of the Fantastic Futures Conference Key Speakers lineup - presented by on behalf of the community.

Peter-Lucas Jones, and the work of Media in preserving and protecting Indigenous speech data of is an effort I have long admired. Associate Professor Kirsten Thorpe's work at the Jumbunna Institute at University of Technology Sydney also centres on data sovereignty for Indigenous data, from an archival perspective.

Eryk Salvaggio - @CyberneticForests - also an alum of the School of , like myself does incredible work in interrogating social and cultural impacts of , especially in .

Kartini Ludwig's use of creativity at Kopi Su Studio to empower artists runs counter to the prevailing norm of scraping the internet to build and models.

And Associate Professor Sydney Shep's trans-disciplinary work in book history and print culture, as well as her practice as a letterpress printer and bookbinder, is a fascinating exploration of how our cultural histories shape our futures.

Together, we hope to convene conversations that help shape the future of and within the sector.

Huge thank you to Keir Winesmith and @ingridbmason for the opportunity, and to Ashlinn H. who I know is doing incredible work behind the scenes.

nix is melting ❄️😰

afaict the community has been invaded by trolls and now the maintainers are quitting.

let's talk hypotheticals. let's say that you had a few million dollars to invest in creating a package manager that could "fix Nix".

what would that look like?

@zeborah But what would they build?

@ashguy Well, I know that I know people with a few million dollars who are always looking for the right thing to spend their money on.
