It’s always a good idea before you say anything publicly about someone’s intentions or ideas to figure out if you are comfortable with the same being done to yourself

Like https://github.com/i3/i3/pull/6564 for example Such diffs will be applied by patch(1) (also git-am(1)) as part of the code change! This is how a sleep(1) made it into i3 4.25-2 in Debian unstable.

in-band signaling is always a mistake and unix tooling is full of in-band signaling https://mas.to/@zekjur/116022397626943871

I don't think I've peeked under the covers of device-driver for a long time, those are some fun-looking functions! I should find some time on the weekend to investigate how device-driver works these days

A screenshot of the compiler explorer website. In the left-most pane are some functions calling operations on Rust's u32 type (reverse_bits, count_ones, leading_zeros, trailing_zeros, to_be, isolate_highest_one, lowest_one). the center pane has the assembly output for the riscv32IMAC target. most of the functions generate 10's of instructions with a total output length of 186 lines. the right pane is also targeting riscv32IMAC but has additional riscv bitmap extensions enabled. these versions generate 1 to 4 instructions per function, so they all fit on the page. the total length of the output is 33 lines.

A screenshot of the compiler explorer generated asm in case that's easier on mobile:

(retoot of my mastodon post)
I'm having fun finding out how much less code Rust's integer functions generate for rp2350's RISCV cores (when all of it's bitmanip extensions are enabled):
godbolt.org/z/1Geq5rdnv

ASCII text is a perfectly valid option here.
would have to be a particularly cursed chip to choose that option though!

Finally getting around to listening to the Wookash Podcast where defer is, apparently, mentioned. I guess I should listen to this thing in ful-- oh my god it's two hours?? Well, time for the 2x speed buff.

Alright, with a last minute async Rust bug fixed (thanks 2024 edition), it's time for the first #bevymergetrain of Bevy 0.18! The release branch has been cut, and we're merging feature work again!

Let's go over the 10 open community-reviewed PRs in our backlog for this week <3

This is why I love @ratatui.rs

Ooh you're doing office hours again? Looking forward to it!

If you think AI is punk rock, you don’t understand technology and you don’t understand punk rock

It’s a good thing we’re keeping our dependency count low, I think to myself, as I read about how my UI framework also provides threads, networking utilities, data structures, floating point math, D-Bus, cryptographic utilities, geographic utilities, and a Bluetooth implementation

There are three hard problems in CS: naming things, naming things, and elision of copies

I asked them what their USE flags are and they wouldn’t tell me

10 years of Rust, as of today.

Well done, everyone.

The "Back to the Future" movie poster, but with the title replaced by "Box<impl Future>". On top it says "1.21 gigabytes". The license plate of the DeLorean reads "ENOMEM".

Here are all the posters I designed for RustWeek 2025!

implemented a high performance ARM JTAG debug probe (for ARM7TDMI) that can do about 1 MB/s of useful bandwidth at 24 MHz TCK, bottlenecking on waiting for core synchronization

I got a second wind. Gameplay logic needs some work, but here’s the start of Breakout written in Rust 🦀 running on the 3DS!

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X & Ryzen 9 9900X Deliver Excellent Linux Performance Review Let's kick off this very fun round of benchmarking....

Based on phoronix' benchmarking, looks like a decent uplift.
