I spent some time yesterday sharpening my knives, which I find really therapeutic. I realised this is similar to working on my Neovim config, which is therapeutic for the same reason.

"If I had more time, I would've written a shorter letter" is more true than ever in the AI age. In fact having AI write for you at all is just lazy and disrespectful to the reader. noslopgrenade.com

Good example, so if C is the Flair and the Barista Express is something like Java or Javascript, what's Rust?

This HN subthread news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4820... perfectly encapsulate the "C is simple, but not easy" dichotomy. Sure you can learn all the surface syntax of C quickly, and compared to the likes of Rust or Swift there is very little. However, writing correct software in C is not easy.

I wrote a comment on /r/rust that was vaguely positive about LLMs for coding, shouldn't have done that. Sitting at (-5) atm. They really don't like AI over there.

It's not that. I tend to end up with 8-9 neovim/claude pairs across many git worktress and different projects. Each are tightly scoped to a single project, but it adds up :D

000

Hugo Tunius 🦀 @hugotunius.se · 10/02/2026

I have a new problem. These days not only does neovim start rust-analyzer, so does claude. Because of this I frequently end up with rust-analyzer eating 16-20GB of my ram and my whole system falling over as I hit the 32GB limit

All quite now. I guess the Supreme Court decide that the only way to win the game was to not play.

It's going to be really fun tomorrow when the Supreme Court rules against Trump's tariffs (hopefully).

Hugo Tunius 🦀 @hugotunius.se · 12/01/2026

It's unbelievable how stupid Trump is. The Supreme court might rule against his tariffs and he's truthing up a storm about how bad this would be. If he had passed the tariff via congress, instead of illegal EOs, none of this would be on the table.

I've got the strangest #rustlang bug. A few our own crates at work refuse to build when I pull them from the registry, but if I patch them by pointing directly to the same commit on disk it's all fine. Been like this for weeks now, no clue what's wrong.

I guess I'm just old at this point. Gen Z and Alpha gamers seem to care more about who has the coolest skins than who is the best at the game.

Hugo Tunius 🦀 @hugotunius.se · 23/12/2025

I was randomly perusing my CS2 inventory the other day and found a skin worth £150. For the life of me I don't get why anyone would pay that, but hey I get a free copy of Battlefield 6 🤷‍♂️

Finished an initial version of my #postgres ID type github.com/k0nserv/plid. There's one unfortunate allocation in Rust that I haven't manage to eliminate... bsky.app/profile/hugo...

There's this one person, I think anyway, who keeps creating sock puppet accounts for every HN thread about Rust. I'm pretty sure them and I had the exact same exchange in two separate threads...

Hugo Tunius 🦀 @hugotunius.se · 14/12/2025

It's free from allocation on the Rust side. Unfortunately Postgres cannot deal with 128 bit values without allocation, so in that it matches Postgre's native uuid type and allocates.

000

Hugo Tunius 🦀 @hugotunius.se · 14/12/2025

This does up to 3 letters of a-z prefix, 48 bits of timestamp and 64 bits of randomness all stored as a u128. It sorts lexicographically and as a number.

Hugo Tunius 🦀 @hugotunius.se · 14/12/2025

I'm playing around with the idea of a ulid inspired id type that adds prefix support. Using the excellent #pgrx Rust crate it has been trivial to build a #rustlang #postgres extension for this. plid=# SELECT gen_plid('u'); gen_plid --------------------------- u_06DHRQH6SJT7N2WEQK4910R

You are right about the general public, doesn't mean I have to like it. Also, I'm not sure it must be an "either-or", why not a "both-and"? Anyway, it's their project and they can do what they want, I'm not paying for it so all I can do is be annoyed.

If there was a project that went in the direction of IAC and docker deployments it'd be soo good. Home Assistant is going in a decidedly different direction that I don't like in the slightest. Alas, beggars can't be choosers

Getting into #homeassistant. I love the idea of the project, but I hate the move away from config in code and IAC. Cattle not pets people

Frog and Toad illustration edited to say: Frog put the value in an option. "There", he said, "now we will not deref any more null pointers". "But we can unwrap the option," said Toad. "That is true", said Frog.
