This is the only lethal trifecta I'm concerned about.

Incredibly disappointed (shocked even) that the plan is to make the default Rust mutex not poisonable in the 2027 edition. Poisoning is one of the best examples of Rust focusing on rigor, and removing it from the default mutex would be a massive step backwards.

He absolutely was trying that, but his tweet there (with screenshots in the comments) hasn't attracted any of the attention he hoped it would.

I've finally started a long-overdue rewrite of my personal site and blog, switching from Nikola to Eleventy. I've been stymied by a WebC component parameter issue for the past week, and may finally have to post to a forum. Not an auspicious start.

I am especially disappointed in @gene4va.bsky.social. He has now voted SEVEN times to advance Trump’s takeover of DC. He claims to support democracy, but then opposes it at almost every turn for the city just 40 minutes away. Why is this local Dem supporting Trump’s agenda so strongly?

“lazy use of unwrap blew up a process and took out the internet” bzzt. wrong. judicious use of unwrap blew up a process instead of allowing an Extremely Named CVE to happen and spraying your bank account credentials all over the public internet
People want a technical solution to what is ultimately a judgement problem.

People know that unwrap can cause a panic. That's the choice that's being made when you unwrap. Changing the name won't change that.

The managerial class yearns for phrenology
Researchers are now saying that AI can find correlations between facial characteristics and success on the job.

The Economist says that corporations would have a “strong incentive” to deploy this technology when looking at applicants.

Every Acela trip has me boggled that people don't understand the concept of reserved seats.

Yes, I explicitly picked the window seat for the same reason you're trying to take it - power outlet access.

@goose.art I've found this crate to be really helpful when building new deserialization logic docs.rs/serde_json_p...

Apologies if you weren't soliciting feedback from the peanut gallery and just wanted to scream into the ether.

When you move around primarily or exclusively by car, you may not see the evidence of car crashes around you:

bent sign posts
broken car pieces
broken windshield glass
tire marks, etc.

For those who travel by 🚶🏻, 🚲, 🦽 & 🚌 these reminders are everywhere on sidewalks & streets.
