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.

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"

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 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 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.

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

PSA: I plan on blogging about this, but haven’t yet, but semver is now a dtolnay crate. There’s basically nobody else I’d have given this too. Very glad to see what he’s doing with it I have been trying to get a 1.0.0 across the line for like two years. It’s kind of been an albatross for me. He actually did it, and it’s very good.

on my sixth week of bullet journaling. I didn't really give it a chance before, but after seeing some tweets (I believe from @yoshuawuyts) and reading about its creation, I decided to give it a try regardless of my feelings.

i am so glad i did. i like it so much i actually am considering trying to do a paper-based zettlekasten and just like, end my accounts with various online-based productivity and knowledge management tools.

I am gonna die Okay number two I had a tiny tiny bit and thought “this is fine” but I know better, gave it a second, and it’s still fine but I feel it in my whole mouth. Not sure when I’ll feel okay about trying 3, I put too big a dab hahah

This week’s experiment: a YouTube Short. Vertical video, one minute long at most.

It’s tough to fit things into just a minute! My first attempt had ten extra seconds… It is a lot less work overall to make a sixty second video than the ten-minute ones though. Which was nice because I’ve had less time these last two weeks.

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

My “the project isn’t run by one person or company” tshirt sure is raising a lot of questions answered by my tshirt Listen: I really like and respect most of the folks on this list. I get it, I do. And hey, maybe literally everything has changed in the past eight years. I doubt it though.

Haymarket explosionSolidarity of labour: labou...Thank you for your hard wor...1st May remember that each year, to oppose International Worker's Day, the US declares it "Loyalty Day."

that is, to be loyal to the united states is to be anti-worker. their statement, not mine

it's been an intense week. still gave myself some time last night to put together another news video. still working on so many skills: thumbnail design, sound mixing. structure. i like this format, but it's tough for me to figure out how to incorporate something important, and that's *narrative*. i think that's something about a lot of the destiny content i watch too; it's all purely informational, which is great. but. how to make it *more*?

biggest issues: libraries, build times, CI

smallest issues: moving to latest standards, {type,memory} safety + security source distribution for libraries reins supreme still

"We are finally here, with an RFC that adds support
for Rust to the Linux kernel." lkml.org/lkml/2021/4/14… reading linus' replies is very interesting. glad his initial concerns can be addressed. namely, that rustc doesn't implicitly allocate, and doesn't require panic-ing for allocation failure

I am so upset Here’s a big idea: don’t give executives huge raises while core metrics are going down year over year. Don’t fire tons of people and blame it on the pandemic. How about them big ideas

tried out a different production and editing style for this video. in previous videos, i wrote the script in paragraphs, then recorded each paragraph separately, and put them together
