what
just learned python typing invented a new kind of voldemort type, one which when named doesn't actually name it
`float` and `int` are two distinct types
but if you write `x: float` that actually means `x: float | int`. but if you write `x: float | int` that means `x: float | int | int`...

Just released quick-junit 0.5.2, containing (from what I can tell) the first industrial-strength (i.e. with fuzzing and roundtrip property-based testing) JUnit XML parser for Rust!
quick-junit's serializer is used by cargo-nextest.
Check it out:

I think it's really interesting how the visual language of video is changing over time. it's a very specific choice to have this shot handheld in a hallway while walking
like, they could've shot this with a tripod at his desk, but, that's not the right vibe for the current era

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Just published a new post on what I've been up to professionally for the past five months: maxdeviant.com/posts/2025/h...
It's fairly high-level, but I'd love to do some more deep-dives on some of the learnings from rebuilding Zed's backend.

The thing about We Didn't Start The Fire is that Billy Joel is a baby boomer so they did, in fact, start quite a lot of the fires.

thinking about UI. I don’t love the big sidebars & high information density of a lot of roguelikes — trying to come up with something that’s minimal but still shows everything you’d regularly need

David Fincher's THE SOCIAL NETWORK, and Trent Reznor / Atticus Ross's Oscar-winning score, turned 15 years old this fall. Here's some of my artwork for the album, created by manually corrupting images from the film by editing their raw hex data in a text editor, damaging them from the inside. 1/

rust achieving memory safety without a GC is really cool yes but like so many others have said before rusts type safety is arguably even more impressive.

After putting it off for far too long, tonight I re-added syntax highlighting for code blocks to my website.
This was something that got dropped during my site rebuild.
While I would ultimately love to build something static and custom on top of Tree-sitter, this will do for now.

An Eastern European Jewish cartoon mouse family fleeing Czarist Russia (along with other ethnic minority mice fleeing oppression and starvation) with false promises that America was perfect and banding together to make it better than the stark reality that it was just as corrupt in different ways.
It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life
