Their writing is so good, always a fun and enlightening read.

Past tense, the 2024 edition stabilized in (and has been the default edition for `cargo new` since) Rust 1.85.

I guess all designers at fly were replaced by ai because this article is using gray bold font for the whole text. I remember these guys had good blog some time ago

Not sure if that was changed since then, but it's not bold for me and also readable. Maybe browser rendering?

stock safari on ios

and I think the intended webfont is loaded because the font is clearly weird ish and non-standard and the text is invisible for good 2 seconds at first while it loads:)

Not a word of that article came from an LLM. You just don't like my writing.

You think an LLM would have started a sentence with "Which is why that’s how"? Only me, baby.

Also not bold for me (Safari). Variable font rendering issue?

stock safari on ios 26 for me. is it another of 37366153 regressions of ios 26?

Yes, I've already performed the upgrade for my projects, but since they hit this bug, I'm guessing they haven't.

Please try the article mode in your web browser. Firefox has a pretty good one but I understand all major browsers have this now.

I only use article mode in exceptional cases. I hold fly to higher standard than that.
