can't believe they actually went for such a clown metric

should've used llvm's official curl | sh

ngl it makes me worry about the far future. what stops them from making you switch to proprietary bs and bad licensing when they feel like you aren't milking enterprise customers enough?

yeah I mean this is why I'm saying we need a new capability in the language, since doing this statically basically requires specializing on each function call graph and making some sort of anonymous sum type out of it

one "library" that lets you union all error types together is `dyn std::error::Error` :P

but putting Box<dyn std::error::Error> everywhere isn't really great either... we need some new language capabilities i think.

i think rust error enums (often but not always using thiserror), while feeling very neat and self documenting, are actually an antipattern because they cause complex codebases to deal with nested structures that may contain the same type of error at many levels.

a whole bunch

i don't know how i ended up reading @oxide.computer job application materials but i do know that no google doc has ever before made me feel such a profound sense of imposter syndrome

definitely like the "generic" command stuff, it seems far more useful if you start having complex logic to control what commands you want to send, like `let command = match state {}; send_command(command)` vs having `send_foo()` in every branch.

tuxedo is working on a qualcomm laptop... not a lot of news on the progress there though

if you feel like doing the song and dance to share an fd between processes that will give you the fastest notification channel, otherwise something simple like a unix domain socket is going to be good enough for most situations.

you could call it ebus :P

i imagine the point of this site is exactly this. show you how crazy it is so you know to avoid it and use something reasonable like temporal.

this quiz is just making me love temporal all the more

I actually hate these images so much just use open graph text instead it takes up less space and is more accessible. I hate posting a link and it disrupts the entire chat with these enormous images </rant>

barber took too much off the top

i wish i could see why a feed picked a certain post for me so i could figure out what i need to do to prevent from seeing more of it

tldr `spawn(timeout(5, connect(addr)))`

screenshot of code: ``` let mut sock = rx.await???; ```

we've made it to the mythical three level nesting

devastating

sometimes i let bits flip without correcting them
just to feel something
anything

this is what booth seats are for right

MCDU vibes

Screenshot of red alert box in mastodon which shows: ``` Critical security update available! Please update your Mastodon server as soon as possible! ```

every couple months i remember to check mastodon and i'm always greeted with this thing, how does it have so many fucking critical security issues

I'm always saying this

screenshot of text: ``` I love reading your commit messages in order, it really tells a story it's like a haiku that decided to keep going on the random strings of letters really brings it all together ```

excellent review from coworker

anyone else remember how spotify's cross-device control/sync used to be basically flawless, and then like 3-4 years ago it became super garbo, and hadn't improved since?

absolutely exhausting

love you fam
