It was too funny to be truly mad at, but if the trend continues it'd get old quick

Got one of our first AI generated PR contributions today.
+6k lines of code that introduced several painful bugs while trying to fix an error.

Real issue: `resolver="1"` in Cargo.toml.
The compiler said that in the first line of the returned error!

In 1981 the LA Herald posited that "feminine bicyclists are becoming extremely cruel" and was "a form of insanity"; caused by " the intense exhilaration rapid riding brings about."

We laugh at it now, but news today is just as capable of falsehoods.

Very cool. Dimethyl sulfide--a compound that, at least on Earth, is exclusively produced by marine algae--has been found on an exoplanet for the first time, and in large quantities.

Current explanation is a giant ocean filled with algae, otherwise it requires an unknown abiotic process.

LIFE!!

🦀 Hello World!

The Rust project now has an official presence on Bluesky! ✨

We'll be posting the same on our Mastodon and Bluesky accounts, so you won't miss anything on either platform.

Announcing Rust 1.86.0 | Rust Blog Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

Rust 1.86.0 has been released! ✨🎊 🦀

This release adds trait upcasting, get_disjoint_mut on slices and hashmaps, #​[target_feature] for safe functions, debug assertions for null pointers, Vec::pop_if and more!

Check out the blog post and release notes for details: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/04/03/R...

wokeness was keeping the economy afloat. wokeness kept planes in the air. wokeness kept us all safe

General PSA: this move, called "filtering", is not only a safety maneuver, it is generally legal and often ENCOURAGED. Many places like SF deliberately paint "bike boxes" to situate cyclists ahead of queued cars at lights. Assuming drivers aren't stopped in it by the time you get up there.

Ray Blanchard and his fetishistic fever dream masquerading as scholarship should always be mentioned alongside:

1. The GIC where this 'study' was carried out more or less coerced trans women into participating, on pain of compromising their access to healthcare

2. They faked the results

Lovely to hear, sounds reasonable to me. Excited to join!

Is this from Bike For America? Also sad to see it wasn't implemented

Will this mean moderation is strictly in the hands of Northsky? Does this depend on Bluesky to exist?

I know that a Mastodon server is its own island, but am somewhat unfamiliar with ATProto

All programmers have felt like this at one point or another in their lives

Sounds like a fun meetup!

No worries, that hasn't changed since before this. Performance wise I believe the Send/Sync version is faster or at least equivalent, so we won't be going back.

I imagine there's significant momentum behind Tokio at this point, which probably doesn't help

It's fascinating to read as a discussion. Earlier versions of Leptos were not Send/Sync and our biggest issue was easy integration with Axum. Now that it is, the pain comes from non Send/Sync browser types in web_sys and running Futures in specific threads

Very nice to say, mostly a bot handles the updates now, but I'm around if needed

Starting today, California is coming for your e-bike throttles Last September, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law SB-1271, which redefines and adds to several electric bicycle regulations in...

More should be done to deal with the huge influx of throttle e-bikes that are basically unregulated motorcycles. Good to see California taking some steps: electrek.co/2025/01/01/s...

Wax and kitchen sinks do no mix. Ask me how I know 😆

I wonder what software engineers would be like if they had to do residency(i.e spend time working on open source). Maybe they'd be a bit nicer to OSS maintainers

A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes
