What do you want to bet this little tantrum on the WaPo's opinion page is because someone ahead of Professor Jakub Grygiel in the queue at some coffee shop had an elaborate coffee order and he hasn't been able to let it go ever since

When @pfrazee.com said they'll treat bluesky as a a future adversary to the protocol, I didn't think he meant it will happen this soon. "Venture Capitalist" CEO, surely that will go well.

`is` operator for pattern-matching and binding by joshtriplett · Pull Request #3573 · rust-lang/rfcs Introduce an is operator in Rust 2024, to test if an expression matches a pattern and bind the variables in the pattern. This is in addition to let-chaining; this RFC proposes that we allow both le...

Here's the RFC, it's quite stale by now and by the looks of it, still very contentious, which I don't really understand.

Make the reference-only return values of a bunch of trait methods GATs, think Index, Deref, etc.

This is under the assumption that GATs are finished and don't have some of the UX rough cuts they have now.

There's an RFC for such expressions using an `is` keyword, the keyword itself was actually suggested in the `if let` RFC and rejected due to lack of support in the community. But the `<expr> is <pattern>` would both introduce bindings and evaluate to a boolean which. If it is accepted that is.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.
