My eldest has been dying to play “the video console” ever since I brought out my Gameboy Advance to show her older cousin. Yesterday I introduced her to a couple of games, one more of a classic than the other.

Social media is weird. I follow @aliettedebodard.com because I really enjoyed a book they wrote. Today I realised I’ve been mis-gendering K1 in my head since always. But I don’t know these people. But I feel like a know them a little bit. Weird. Anyway, sorry about that, it should be a compliment.

First time I’ve seen Bluesky mentioned in popular media. It’s from “Casi un Millón de Horas” by Juan González Mesa (who appears not to be on Bluesky himself).
Photo of text from a book (in Spanish), the word Bluesky is highlighted:

Mientras el perito trabajaba en el informe, Loren se centró en el control de la plataforma de Detective Público.
En cinco minutos, el vídeo de Valeria descubriéndose sin gorra, lentillas ni maquillaje había sido descargado y subido a YouTube, X, Bluesky, Tiktok, Instagram...; a todas partes.

Do you manage a team working with Rust and some other language? Any other programming language. I’d be interested to know how that’s working out with respect to motivation to work on each part of the project. I’d love to hear stories! Let me know!

This morning we’ve had a 4.7, 4.0, and 4.2 magnitude earthquakes all within 8 Km. So it’s shaping up to be an interesting day, but not in the best way.

Stitch goblins, they sneak in while you’re looking the other way and steal stitches. Then they take them and add them to someone else’s project. #knitting

On one hand, this is first rate trolling, but I’m not sure that’s what you want from an LLM chat bot.

I’m not much for spectator sports, so I’m following the semi-final mostly by checking the score after I hear our neighbours cheering. #LaRoja

Child 2 (1.5y) recently recognised and named the numeral 6, entirely out of context. They then did the same thing with a hand written numeral a few days later. With great trepidation, I wrote a 7… 1/2

Snails really are noisy eaters. I read somewhere that they have a lot of teeth, maybe that’s why.

A partially completed knitted sock still on circular needles. Knitted toe up with a contrasting heel, which is as far as it’s gotten.

Look at these cool Rust async tide and surf stickers that I had at home! The tide one was used to cover up a corporate sticker on a laptop that’s going to our nephew. Lucky him!
2 stickers sitting on a table top. One shaped like a surfboard with a smiling face and small text “rustasync/surf” and another shaped like a wave with a smiling face and small text “rustasync/tide”.

Child 1 got a sewing machine for their birthday. So now I have a new hobby. And TikTok knows I have a new hobby. Which is fine, it’s cool to see a new culture. I am a little baffled by the guy in the cowboy hat though… (great content, but why the hat?)

It's actually pretty incredible to open up a file in your own (domain specific) language and see in-line diagnostics and be able to jump to references. Wow!

Is `jj new` what I use instead of `git switch` or am I holding it wrong?

If you're using @atuin.sh, you can hit ctrl+o to enter the command inspector and see which directory you last ran the command in last, when, and even scroll through commands in that session with up and down arrows. It's amazing!

This is a pretty good point: > but I'm not really even sure if you may not achieve bigger speedup without any LLMs, just by dumping all these things that were previously important, like peer review, etc www.reddit.com/r/rust/s/AY2...

@orhun.dev do you know of a TUI that will track and graph CPU and memory usage of a single process over time? I haven’t been able to find anything, but I figured that if anyone would know, you would.

I just wrote a #rustlang function with two `u64` parameters next to one another, decided to change the order, and then shivered at the fact that the compiler didn't know the right order. Immediately changed the type of one of the parameters so that they are now different.

You’re not real Aboriginals. You don’t wear a lap-lap and hunt for your food, or live in a bark humpy! Why is it white Australian culture can evolve but Aboriginal culture is not allowed to or risk being classified as not Aboriginal? Simple answer - Racism.

We’re making shepherd’s pie for three kings this year. I BBQ the lamb first and then chop it up. So I was out on the barbie in the rain and then spent a bunch of time deboning chops and cutting it all up (with lots of help). We now have a huge amount of filling ready to go. #DiaDeLosReyesMagos

Thinking about this, I really want a summary of the vim commands I run. I spend a lot of time in vim, where I’ll open a session for a project and then close it at the end of the week. Then I realised that what I really want is @atuin.sh for vim. Can I have that please @ellie.wtf ?
