I've been using Sailfish OS since the first Jolla phone came out in EU and Canada both. It has some hurdles but if you pay for the android subsystem it works fine. There are a lot …

Introducing the AiGPL, the AGPLs more up to date cousin. Protect your free software by refusing it to be used for any Ai/LLM related purposes whatsoever with the AiGPL. And while t…

I am so glad someone said this. This also shows nicely how async is wrong, not just that it's viral, but it's bad design because it forces code duplication. Middleware/library writ…

I've changed it so that the current puzzle solution shows if you fail to guess. Many people requested it.

It'll show tomorrow :) I wanted to avoid people just taking this out of the javascript source so it's using some hash tricks to prevent that. Maybe I over engineered that a bit tho…

Happy to announce the release of https://undoodle.ai a little side project I've been working on recently. Puzzle out what prompted stable diffusion to create the image. New puzzle …

This is not correct. The api that was disabled was deprecated for over a decade when disabled. It was an api that wasn't meant to be used. Zol folks kept using it out of tree and w…

Really cool. For some reason when I opened the webpage I was like "this seems like it's written in Rust" and it is! I'm using Rust as my main language for the past 6 months now so …

This happens regularly, the bee cluster doesn't wait for late comers. There are some scouts that keep going there and back but there are also scouts that do that with the "Correct"…

I'm not disputing that. In theory Rust should outperform even today but of course reality is a different beast and implementation details are important. Then you also get into arch…

Rust will outperform C consistently soon. It already does in some cases. It will also do so with safe idiomatic code in most cases. The reason behind my statement is simply more op…

This is untrue. Hifive1 supports the privileged instructuons and comes with machine mode and user mode. Cost is ~50$

Don't buy one? Seriously just get a good projector and hook it up to a pc. Lots of good extra content too if you know where to look...

The mongodb migration story is so prevalent it could make a great meme. The website is terribad tho, please don't use the scroll-a-page approach.

I've built the Texel ASCII Art Editor ( https://crates.io/crates/texel ) using Specs ( https://crates.io/crates/specs ) as my first experience with ECS. The original goal was an AS…

When you said rusty i thought you meant Rust for a moment :)

This is a bit spooky. I wonder if the engineers responsible were just trying to be cute, or "reaching out" in a way.

No, I asked on the IRC channel and forums as well as a friend who does embedded. The answer was basically "because clippy doesn't know the target arch it has to be a conservative-g…

I've had a smaller but similar dive recently while working on embedded machine (32 bit) with Rust. Clippy was pushing me to use move/copy instead of reference for passing a [u8; 8]…
