That hasn't really been the case for a while imo: Martin works at Google and is paid to work on jj (there are also other Google employees who contribute, not sure whether they're p…

I resurrected the Rust Herbie lint (now using dylint) a while ago: https://github.com/urschrei/herbie-lint

My partner is an artist and she absolutely loves this. For a start, it's a lottery. 2000 people who meet very broad but generally fair eligibility criteria ( https://www.gov.ie/en/…

Hexagons do tile the Euclidean plane perfectly. They are the largest of the three n-gons that do so.

Another approach is to teach Claude Code how to use your Zotero library's full-text search: https://github.com/urschrei/zotero_search_skill .

> A side effect of the geometry simplication is that there are some very small gaps between states. Based on your use case, you'll need to handle the case of the point not being wi…

I wouldn't say it's correct to say that GEOS isn't particularly sophisticated. A lot of (certainly not all) GEOS algorithms are now ported from JTS, the primary author of which is …

I'm not a regular Zed user, but this isn't true: I simultaneously ran the Ruff and Pyright LSPs when I used it last week.

You are confused or wrong, and you are making incorrect assertions about a system "lying" to you on that basis: you can see this for yourself by typing `jj git init` (or just `jj i…

!!Con (pronounced “bang bang con”) 2024 is the last ever !!Con event, featuring two days of talks to celebrate the joyous, exciting, and surprising moments in computing. It takes p…

Agreed. As someone who often advocates for the use of Rust to speed up perf-sensitive Python functions (and in particular, in the GIS domain), this sounds like they haven't fully u…

I see two sibling comments with reports of patchy reliability, so I'll note that it's been rock-solid for me (multiple daily deploys every weekday) since I last commented on it (ab…

From the site: UPDATE: Previously, Apple announced plans to remove the Home Screen web apps capability in the EU as part of our efforts to comply with the DMA. The need to remove t…

These are the Mesa drivers linked from the blog post: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/asahi/mesa , so not Rust AFAICS

The one on Ireland’s Eye also has a rope btw

Being annoyed at articles that will have little or no impact on Rust's adoption in Linux are an unusual choice to spend your hard-earned credibility on. Why not simply let people e…

A statistically significant result without something like a Hedges G (or Cohens D if comparing means) measure would be called out by even a moderately attentive reviewer as a matte…

(Fly customer for the past 12 months: small web app (three machines across two regions plus replicated Postgres across two regions, on a paid plan)). Fly has been extremely stable …

crossbeam was created by Aaron Turon (who has – inevitably – also left the Rust project): https://aturon.github.io/blog/2015/08/27/epoch/

No, it isn’t risky in the least. The analysis makes no use of proprietary data and illustrates potential problems which arise from choices made in the algorithm’s design in an abst…

The problem is probably not cibuildwheel. That having been said, the maintainers are knowledgeable and responsive, so I would try to open an issue first. Speaking from personal exp…

GEOS will be available in WASM sooner or later (if it isn’t already, and if the licence works for you), rust-geo (under active development, I’m one of a few core contributors who w…

The best thing to read is Eden Medina’s “Cybernetic Revolutionaries” ( https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262525961/cybernetic-revolution... ). There’s also a good Tech Won’t Save Us epi…
