I’m now team leader of the Rust Infrastructure team! I’ll keep shipping, but I’ll also pay more attention to the load, health, and overall direction of the team.

hi friends I'm very excited to announce Halfspace, my experimental cross-platform IDE for solid modeling with distance fields! This has been in progress since midway through last year, and it's finally "done enough" to make it more public.

Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

@cerulea/lexicon is now up on JSR. it's a library for defining lexicons *in TypeScript* (the schema code generates the schema doc, instead of the other way around as with `@atproto/lex` et al) and you also get a nice record validator/builder API at the same time
screenshot of a code block showing example use of @cerulea/lexicon - it defines a "Post" record with a "Facet" array as well as a "getPost" lexicon RPC query

We may have cooked with this one 😘👌🏽 Now you can log in with your account, and create up to 3 sub-accounts under your identity (anon accounts spam too much) ✅ Still free, gated behind oauth 📐 Beautiful new dashboard 📁 DID:PLC is now under dplc.rip, why? 🕸️ DID:WEB accounts supported under dweb.rip!
Screenshot of the pds.rip dashboard, a dark monospaced interface titled "Your sub-accounts." Intro text explains that each account expires on its own clock, extending buys time up to a hard ceiling of 28 days from creation, and deleting is immediate with the identity retired permanently. A stats row reads: slots used 2 of 3, next expiry 6d 23h left, your own account never expires.

Two account cards follow. tiny-guts.dweb.rip, tagged DID:WEB, expires in 6d 23h, 7 of 28 days used, with a progress bar marked granted 7d against a 28d ceiling. cute-creep.dplc.rip, tagged DID:PLC, expires in 13d 21h, 14 of 28 days used and extended once, granted 14d. Each card has "Extend 7 days" and "Delete now" buttons.

Below, a create form with a desired-handle field and a domain dropdown set to .dplc.rip, notes on how each domain resolves, a preview line reading "a name we pick.dplc.rip, did:plc, expires in 7 days," and a Create button.
