Både KNR og Sermitsiaq har udmærket nyhedssider på dansk som jeg normalt selv følger når det handler om Grønland i medierne siden jeg synes at man skal lytte til hvad grønlændere selv skriver først. Der er også journalister såsom @marfusvalentin.bsky.social her.

I once made a small LSP for making dictionary lookups, it was quite fun though at least then I was a bit disappointed with the docs (lots of typescript types) My shadow copy implementation was also very scuffed, but it mostly worked.

They are stabilized (doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/r...), so it would probably be a breaking change still, just less so since `n..` does not yet desugar to it. Which is scheduled for the next edition.

Tbh I completely agree, though I am more scared that a crater run would show exactly nothing, since there is not many tests intentionally panicing, (assuming overflow-checks have not been turned off) I think I would personally be more for changing it in the range type which would be more safe imo

No this only applies to the iterator, use in pattern matching and array slicing works in a separate way.

This blog post is bit of a culmination about me thinking about `n..` ranges in Rust for way too long time. It is about why I think the current semantics for the iterator are wrong. erk.dev/2026/08/30/r...

I believe so, iirc Cargo.lock only allows unique direct dependencies. The place where I have seen it needed has been with multiple versions for indirect dependencies needing different features, for example see "What didn't work" on @maya.is.fckn.gay's blog here: selvmaya.com/blog/blog-in...

A few years ago Firefox decided that if they were going to add JPEG XL it should be a Rust implementation: github.com/mozilla/stan... Google later decided on the same (or at least that it should be memory-safe), So when jxl-rs was made both browsers began work to add it.

I have been thinking a lot about the RangeFrom type (n..) in Rust so I thought I would write up a bunch of history about to have somewhere to start a further discussion about it: erk.dev/2026/08/12/r...

I was asked recently about the cost of running a #rustlang conference and why the ticket prices are what they are. We figured we can just publicly share the numbers for RustWeek, in the name of #transparency. :) 1/9

Always been a bigger fan of Don Rosa's ducks, but Barks's are still a all time classic. I have a quite alright collection of re-released old Danish magazines, but it's probably much easier to get them here than pretty much anywhere else.

It's a bad comparison for other reasons. The CDC number is using death certificates which has some issues (www.scientificamerican.com/article/u-s-...) while the Nature numbers uses excess mortality (www.nature.com/articles/s41...). Though I would still belive more die over here in Europe.
