I want to be excited about Apple TV doing Neuromancer – it looks amazing! However every show I've watched there lately runs like 30-40 min per week and it's too short and abrupt when a season is like 8 episodes. tv.apple.com/us/show/neur...

I've been pondering app architecture in Rust. Complex applications, like teleconferencing, with many moving parts. I don't like Flux/Redux, reducers modifying a shared global store (state). The idea is "query-driven", like rust-analyzer, but simpler by using memoized fns for queries.

Keyword generics has not become less of a misjudged idea just because two to three years have passed since it was criticized.

Spain going after X is not undivided great. I hate Elon Musk, but I also worry about the how laws and rules are enforced in Spain (and EU at large). Spain has many laws, but enforcement is arbitrary in the hands of politicians and the police. Thus the law is a power tool in the hands of the ruler.

🎉 The DerefMut for Pin<T> #rustlang "unsoundness" is fixed! It wasn't ever an actual problem, since you couldn't use it for anything reasonable. I seen it used repeatedly as an "even Rust is unsafe" argument, so I'm happy it's gone. * github.com/rust-lang/ru... * github.com/rust-lang/ru...

A `Pin` unsoundness involving an `impl DerefMut for Pin<&dyn LocalTrait>` · Issue #85099 · rust-lang/rust

Haven’t got the time to do any more explaining right now, but here’s the code (Edit: I added a few inline comments anyways): use std::{ cell::{RefCell, RefMut}, future::Future, mem, ops::DerefMut, ...

Ever needed a pure #rustlang DTLS 1.2 implementation? Sync and Sans-IO? I suspect not, but I made one. crates.io/crates/dimpl

Vibe coding by making the AI know its place. Maybe I'll upgrade to "your highness"? I'll probably be the first target in the robot uprising.

I was on the fence of whether to try Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 since I didn't play 1. I love RPG, but don't like having a fixed character (like The Witcher). But then I googled "KCD2 gay" and I'm excited. If I can subvert Henry, I'm all in. #KCD2

Just released a new crate called opslag. It's a no_std mDNS service discovery implementation in pure Rust. I'm hacking around with some embedded STM32 hardware and I couldn't find any suitable mDNS lib for such a use case. #rustlang #rust #mdns crates.io/crates/opslag

Spending the morning being gaslit by ChatGPT "helping" me analyze an mDNS message. It kept repeating the same incorrect analysis, until I pointed out _exactly_ the problem. Sometimes I think LLMs for coding helps, other times I'm dreading the bugs that will surface in their wake.

Severance Season 2 is so bad. It's like a worse version of Lost. I'm expecting polar bears to appear any minute now, if I can only stay awake. It's so boring.

I built a MIDI interface on a #raspberrypi it translates rtpmidi coming over ethernet to tty/uart and back. It works by has really bad jitter. Can be I just don’t know enough about uart and tty on Linux.

Decided that #rust #ureq 2.x branches will now be tracking MSRV and I release 2.12.0. 2.11.x - MSRV 1.67 2.12.x - MSRV 1.71 I will use patch versions in these two minor lines to try to keep these MSRV alive as long as possible. Thanks @epage.bsky.social for pointing out github.com/algesten/ure...

#rust backwards guarantees are great, apart from Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV). It's quite common to find transitive dependencies bumping MSRV in patch-versions, making your build environment just stop working.

A #rust user reported a bug in ureq3 RC. It’s an embarrassing one in the category of “martin, you didn’t test this enough did you?” It’s the first time I had an extended RC that engaged users of #ureq. That makes me feel less bad about screwing up. github.com/algesten/ureq/issues/879
