= note: LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'ftdi1.lib'

Found libs:
C:\Users\steve\Documents\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows-static-md\lib\ftdi1.lib

wtf computer. it's on the screen, right there
did you know that your computer is one big ball of mutable state and if you decide to "clean up your documents directory a bit" and remove the wrong thing everything is fucked
the plot thickens. and by "thickens" i mean "cargo is passing the right flags so, wtf Image
wait now it's building?

fine. just fine. be happy it's now building. it's fine.

If you've been wondering what I've been up to at @oxidecomputer, wonder no more: oxide.computer/blog/hubris-an…

Super glad that this is finally open source, so I can sing my co-workers' praises in public and not private 😀
In short, Hubris and Humility are a brand new OS and debugger for embedded systems. 100% Rust.
There's a lot of things that are really, really cool here, far too many for Twitter. I've done a lot of work on our build system, which is one of those cool things: it is layered on top of Cargo to build the entire image.

*bong rip*

Wonder what Benjamin would think about NFTs. Some grad student better be working on “Art in the Age of Non-Fungability” right now
shitpost explainer time: marxists.org/reference/subj…

This essay is basically like "wow we have all of these production techniques to make copies of works of art. historically that was never practical. now it is easy. what does that mean for art"
it is a pretty short essay. i've always said programmers in general should read it.

but in some sense, nfts represent an attempt to be anti-this. it is trivial to be a "rightclicker" (lol). but they're trying to go back to this pre-industrial mode of art production

This kind of experience is at the core of the “is a dynamic or statically typed language more productive” debate, imho
Some people have this experience and do exactly as I and @Wraithan do; “dang I wish I had the compiler to help me here, now I gotta do all this work”

Some people experience what Rust does and go “wow this compiler is constantly holding me back”
I suspect a lot of discussions around things like “productivity” are conflated with things like “have existing experience with tests/types” and “prefers runtime/compile time errors” and various other things

i am gonna turn this one into its own thread:

you know how i've had like, seriously declining mental health lately?
it is incredibly difficult, personally, to put a lot of volunteer work, heart, and soul, into doing something for a project, and then to have others malign it
i can handle heat from random people. that's fine. people can disagree with things. that's also fine!

but some of the stuff being said and done has just... it's tremendously painful. i've cried a lot. some actual friendships destroyed at this point

I refuse to let Amazon define Rust infoworld.com/article/363300…
At some point, we all have to have a serious conversation about Amazon's involvement in Rust. It's been far too long without me saying this.
Amazon now has:

* Lang team co-lead
* Compiler team co-lead
* decided to not have a Rust Foundation ED, meaning Chair has outsized power in the Foundation

they've also taken steps to marginalize the core team. and some other dirty shit I won't say rn.

all i can say about 1password is that it gets my highest possible praise for a product, which is that i use it every day, it works perfectly, and i never need to think about it except when nerds get really upset about it online for whatever reason it is this time
the enlightened orange website user, on a tab about facebook: "if you're not paying, YOU'RE the product"

on a tab about 1password: $3/month is too much, use this free oss program with terrible ux instead
"ugh, an online vault that Just Works across every device you own no matter the OS? don't use that! just put this file in your dropbox and make sure to configure all the various apps to use that and if it gets out of date just manually re-sync it"
