“We adopted #rustlang for its security and are seeing a 1000x reduction in memory safety vulnerability density ... with Rust changes having a 4x lower rollback rate and spending 25% less time in code review, the safer path is now also the faster one.”

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println, panic, format, write, log::info, etc. (Everything using format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉

I'm so tired of docker breaking stuff at random. We had something based on `docker save` + `docker load`. I know it's not great, but it worked.
The latest docker release broke it.

It's incredible how simple and straightforward updown.io is compared to many other overengineered, buggy or lazy uptime monitoring platforms.
I wish I'd seen it sooner @european-alternatives.eu. Maybe some attributes are missing, like the Green Energy or EU Hosted?

Should the Display format of an Error include the source if the alternate flag is set? I'm having mixed feelings. It sounds very nice, but if no other crate does it, I don't expect users to know about this feature and it's also extra stuff to maintain.
