Awesome work, but I actually need the 187th Fibonacci number. When can I expect that to be released?

Tyilo OP • 3h ago
When Rust 1.1337 adds u256 .

finally, some Good Code

crates.io/crates/fibon...

Screenshot of the fibonacci-numbers README, which reads:

First install the version of this crate corresponding to the Fibonacci number you want to use:

cargo add fibonacci-numbers@186 --rename fib186

Then you can use the VALUE constant to get its value:

assert_eq!(fib186::VALUE, 332825110087067562321196029789634457848);

Screenshot of the dependency list, which is fibonacci-numbers at versions 184 and 185.

I read the fancy sans-serif "YARD SALE" text from a block away, and thought "huh, that reminds me of the weird bookstore on Beacon St"

sure enough...

y'all are missing the hottest yard sale of the season

Photograph of three signs, which are printed pieces of paper taped to a glass window.

The first reads YARD SALE in a large sans-serif font, then has two columns of text with footnotes denoted by square brackets.

The left column is

Sunday [1]
October 5 [2]
10а-4p. [3]
108 Beacon Street. [4]
Somerville. [5]
Massachusetts. [6]
02143. [7]

The right colum reads

Graphic Design Books.
Art Books.
Regular Books.
Graphic Design Magazines.
Regular Magazines.
Type Specimens.
Stuff We Don't Want.
Things You Don't Need.
My Old Blankie. [8]
Bandages.

The footnotes read

1. The golden clasp that binds together volume of the week.
2. The future. (Or, potentially, the past.)
3. Roughly.
4. The address of Katherine Small Gallery.
5. A city next to Cambridge and Boston.
6. Too long. Didn't read.
7. Not to be confused with 02129, 02141,
8. Also known as "Wubba Woobie."

The middle sign reads
$5 Books.
$4 Books.
$3 Books.
$2 Mags.
$1 Clams.

The right-most sign reads

YARD SALE.
Sundy.
10-4.
Here.

What you're referring to as Bluesky is in fact, ATProto/Bluesky, or as I've recently taken to calling it, ATProto + Bluesky. Bluesky is not a social media platform unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning ATProto system made useful by the relay, appview, PDS—

@mmasnick.bsky.social @ikuturso @glyph @folkerschamel I said it about Bluesky, not the "ATmosphere". As you have described to me, "Bluesky" as people know and use it, is a stack controlled by Bluesky PBC. And for what it's worth, I don't think pointing out the importance of decentralization is a […]
