A bunch of those repos being archived got transferred. I think gloo, twiggy and wasm-pack. I don't follow twiggy or gloo but wasm-pack has had a bunch of updates since.

Maybe `dd` from a 1.8TB single disk to a 16TB mirror pair of disks wasn't the best first step. I'm feeling quite lazy though. Perhaps I should drink beer, play video games (off the 1.8TB disk) and then run `dd`.

This is the "Create" button in a GitHub issue form now so I know if "enter" creates it or not.

I want adblock but for internet rumors without a source. For that matter, I want a social media slider for "probably true to no idea". Like, if someone re-posts a claim that's not verified too many times, they show up less.

Oh wait, I just re-discovered the "For you" feed on other apps.

"Soon you too can be a yaml engineer"

There really should be some general UX on all input boxes to say if ctrl-enter/shift-enter/enter adds a new line or posts the content.

It's been so long since I used `sed` that I forgot some of the syntax. Like, I had to relearn `sed -i 's:foo/bar:baz:'`. It's probably a good thing that I'm not doing as much editing with regular expressions.

Working on databases from prison: How I got here, part 2.

A few weeks ago, I gave a local talk titled "From Open Source Contributor to Employment". Unrelated to that talk, this person proved it in much harsher conditions turso.tech/blog/working...

I've had to look up the definition of unilateral multiple times in the last 4 days as I keep questioning headlines.

Maybe Friday should “work from bar” day.

Oh I have all the boxes I want to ssh to wireguard'ed up similar to how tailscale does it. Still, I rarely am unable to work reasonably from my phone.

It would be so nice if I could ssh to things via LTE/5G tethering.

I just discovered that 80% charge feature and yes, I also wish it just said "100%" when in reality it's at 80%.

I regularly wonder if I would recognize (remote) coworkers if I walked by them out on the street randomly. I don't believe I would.

How to make your images in Markdown on GitHub adjust for dark mode and light mode When you want your images to look good in Markdown on GitHub, you might have to adjust for the UI around them.

The irony of a blog post about dark/light mode support in markdown is that the post itself doesn't handle dark/light mode - github.blog/developer-sk...

Maybe having a stable stock market is over rated? It's just so much fun to randomly look at the S&P500 have 5% sways.

I just want some subset of markdown rendering support. I regularly send a friend something like `ls foo`.

It's an honor to have rustc panic on me this fine day. I think I've only had this happen one other time in the last 7 years. If I wasn't using a nightly toolchain from november 2023, I'd look into filing a bug report.

Do other people talk about personal finances in startup terms? Talking to my wife... "At our current burn rate we are good for X amount of time."

Yeah... I'll admit to loving how long the devices last. My iphones last 4+ years, I still have a 2013 mbp and a 2015 mbp that work. The Apple TV box thing makes me not hate using the TV (roku's and such do) and that's ~3.5 years old.

Announcing Rust 1.85.0 and Rust 2024 | Rust Blog Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

Ahhhhh, it’s out! blog.rust-lang.org/2025/02/20/R...

#Rust2024 has a ton of small wins that add up to a big usability improvement. It’s not quite a 2018 Edition level jump (what is?) but it’s a *significant* shift in everything from unsafe to async. Time to get `cargo fix`-ing!

Today I successfully ran `cargo run --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` for an X11 GUI application inside an arm 64 virtual machine on an M1 Macbook Pro. I know, kind of a big deal.

Arbitrary self types v2: explain test. by adetaylor · Pull Request #136124 · rust-lang/rust The purpose of this test wasn't obvious, as @traviscross noted. Add a comment. Confession: although this test was added to demonstrate this particular corner-case, I can no longer reproduce the...

Shout out to @adehohum.bsky.social, the abitrary self types feature for #rust has been steadily coming along! Look at all this (a link to 13 PR's): github.com/rust-lang/ru.... I'm excited!

The Rust doc comments on time stuff is also quite good. doc.rust-lang.org/src/std/time... Though, last time I read it, it was a bit less polished. More of a "Time is a hot mess, we do our best." vibe.

Hmm. Maybe I should go buy like 100 lbs of coffee. It's my understanding that one of Colombia's major exports is coffee.

I continue to use my one-armed father as a scapegoat for my (two handed) inability to tie a tie. Thanks for the joke at the formal activities dad!

"BYOGC (Bring your own garbage collector) is the future"

And here I though pardons and commutes go at the end of a term.
