The code that scrolls on screens in Stray is C#. Truly a post-apocalyptic game.

Ok, I have some time to dedicate to trying to untangle what's going on with Rust leadership/governance in the next few days

So, even though I've been avoiding Twitter, I'll be posting about it there (as well as here), since it's the de facto place where most announcements are made 🙃

I'll be reaching out to folks for comment on my next article re: what the heck happened with Rust during May 28-30.

If I haven't talked to you already and you think you should be talking to me, reach out by DM.

I've decided to apply for a position on the moderation team, to help with several issues the Rust project is facing right now: https://github.com/rust-lang/team/issues/1006

There's no formal process for applying, so this is just a declaration of intention at this point.

Here's my postmortem of the RustConf Keynote Fiasco (so far), linking to all public statements, with additional context from interviewing 15+ people about it:

Oh cool, DuckDuckGo now accepts pay-for-placement and doesn't review ads manually and so, now scam websites are in first position.

Cool cool cool.

edit: this is with uBlock Origin enabled, stop @-ing me

new achievement unlocked: use a syscall valgrind hasn't implemented

I think I need to call the linux kernel hotline, anyone know the number

god I hate reading C code. dude passes `&foo` to a function - is it reading from it? is it writing to it? who knows.

remember to remove binutils from your production systems so the exploits won't run, yeesh

infosec is at that rare skill intersection where the red team writes python code, but in C

copilot is now hallucinating more RAM

whoa, `println!("{:016x}")` writes every 0 with a single write, no buffering involved - presumably to avoid allocations.

maybe that only applies to stderr but... that can't be efficient ?

it's called a man page because it won't shut up about stuff you already know and doesn't actually have the answer to your question
