Async Rust: Where does the scheduler live?

It turns out that some issues people have with async Rust are just downstream of hard concurrency problems.

1️⃣ the best authors of libraries have 'felt the pain' and are making it better 2️⃣ the 'curse of knowledge' means authors (can) become less insightful over time 3️⃣ a lack of domain expertise IS something you have to offer ... so, contribute to address a pain you have 🙏 roe.dev/ama #ama

i use a oss libs all the time for work and personal projects. i’ve always wanted to contribute to these tools to understand them better, and along the way also maybe prove to myself i’m not an impostor lol

all advice tends towards “contribute to address a pain you have” but this is really tough for me since I am of the belief that the authors know best. they’re the domain experts. why should i go against their design. you know? this predisposition i feel restricts me from being able to confidently contribute to tools.

do you think there still is a place for me somewhere? is this long? i really hope not oops. Text on a grainy yellow-to-fuchsia-to-blue gradient.

I think the best way to think about the Omarchy stuff is not a bunch of companies donating millions of dollars to a Linux dotfiles project. It’s a bunch of companies donating money to a political advocacy project with goals like getting minorities out of open source and eliminating the Roma.

I just posted a blog post on my hyperbezier curve: linebender.org/blog/hyperbe... I've actually been working on this for years, and only recently figured out a solution to the parameter mapping problem. I think this curve is potentially better than cubic Béziers for 2D vector graphic design.

A plot of two roughly S-shaped curves. In gray is a cubic Bézier, and the Bézier control points are shown. In blue is an example of the hyperbezier, with roughly similar shape but much smoother curvature variation. There is also a "curvature comb" in green.

I hate to join the error handling hot takes but I really wish we'd settled on a convention for the `Display` formatting of `Error` (that is, whether it runs recursively or whether you're expected to follow the `source`). A mix a both styles leads to intensely overly verbose error prints.
