applying here is what helped me have a cohesive story around what Rust granted me in working on safety-critical systems. much appreciate the long-form, essay-style responses expected.

went on a cycling trip with @rcs.bsky.social over the weekend in the mountains of Japan

he managed to find us a nice ryokan that we had to take a cable car to get to, otherwise real potential to be eaten by bears D:

this is me, quoting you ;D
Pete told me about implicitly deducing type of function depending on the variable / parameter type in Rust. And I think it's kinda cool.

(Don't quote me)

made it into the Bs for my study of the FLS Glossary, yep
November 11, 2025 at 3:11 AM
just started reading Akane Banashi / あかね噺 and the first 50 pages had me hooked. was recommended this by a medical doctor based out of Japan that also does data science to find disease causes. always forth asking for recommendations!

sitting at flight gate. English - Status: At Gate. Japanese - ステータス 出発準備中 interesting difference. the latter tells you they're actually preparing for the next flight. the former just tells you it's parked outside.

true. the more i get involved with the Rust Project and speak with folks on WG14 and WG21, everyone has been incredibly reasonable
hacker news: "yeah the rust folks and the zig folks have been at brutal war with each other for years now. sad."

me, literally having gotten tacos with Andrew last week: "what are you talking about?"
November 5, 2025 at 7:57 PM
i tried like 5 different ways to get things done, but yeah, just too much of modern software development assumes GitHub is up lmao
noooo, i had an uninterrupted hour at the car dealership to be productive and now @github.com won't lemme do stuff :(
