CUDA build toolchain is a complicated mess. Where's my seamless cargo to GPU binary rustup command???

Same but VEU and VXUS for me.

ah!

PSA: chrono is soft-retired

I would like the ARMv7 version, please!

Used this tip today. Thanks!

#rustlang PSA: you probably don't want #[allow(dead_code)], you probably want #[expect(unused)]

did i eat this entire plate of ethiopian? yes, i did.

There is a vast difference in the architecture of a software-intensive system whose output must always be accurate and precise versus one whose output can just be good enough.

Amazonians, We've reviewed the Presidential Proclamation on H-1B visas that was released today and are actively working to gain greater clarity. Here's what you need to know right now: The proclamation creates a travel restriction starting September 21, 2025, at 12:01 a.m. EDT (9:01 p.m. PDT tomorrow). After this deadline, individuals cannot enter the U.S. on H-1B status without an additional $100,000 payment associated with their petition. Recommended actions for you to take: If you have H-1B status and are in the U.S.: Stay in the country for now, even if you have travel planned for the immediate future. We will continue to provide updates as more details are available.

If you have H-4 dependent status: We also recommend you remain in the U.S., though the proclamation doesn't specifically mention H-4 dependents. If you have H-1B or H-4 status and are outside the U.S.: Try to return before tomorrow's deadline if possible. We realize this is short notice but returning soon is advisable and you should make every effort possible to clear U.S. customs before 12:00 a.m. EDT (9:00 p.m. PDT) on Sunday, September 21, 2025. At this time, if you have an H1-B or H-4 status and are unable to return before the deadline, we advise that you do not attempt to enter the U.S. until further guidance is provided.

Leaked memo from Amazon that warns existing H1B holders to avoid travel back into the USA after the September 21st deadline - their lawyers evaluated the new executive order as not just affecting new applications

I treat solar+storage as an investment in resiliency. It's not yet a way to reduce operating costs where I live.

Heisenberg on Bohr's occasionally excesssively generous nature. One of the first lessons learnt as a Nature editor about the "fringe" submissions is that this is exactly what will happen if you let it.

Especially great when you don't have to function the next day!

But doesn't Taiwan pay the tariff? /s

Spain-Portugal power outage latest: Power cut chaos in Spain and Portugal caused by 'rare' atmospheric phenomenon, says operator Trains, traffic lights, card payments, and phone networks have been hit, as an EU official also rules out a cyber attack as the cause.

The killer use case for me so far is decoding the error messages that come out of the C++ compiler.

And C# uses `Where`.

I was able to dismiss the login content and view the photo. There was limited navigation to adjacent photos but eventually demands were made to login without any way to close.

It is in the original Greek!

Is this opposites day? (Or maybe that should be opposites decade?)

Probably worse this time around as things are so much more interconnected.

Vaguely... and wondering how important it is to check the slump on my house foundation project. (Structural engineer has spec'd out slump parameters but I'm guessing most residential concrete contractors skip that step...)

Also now, still waiting for my sufficiently large program to compile. At least it's on the order of hours not days.

I'm also on armv7 but got 1GiB of RAM to play with though most of that is used for <redacted>.

I work in a constrained device world right now where every byte matters. (Mostly anyway...) Is there any rustc config to help with binary size? (I.e. less aggressive inlining?)

Principal Engineer Roles Framework I have worked on Amazon S3 for ~12 years and if there is one thing that I have learned, it is that when you run complex systems at scale, you must think deeply about how teams work. It’s not enough to...
