Did you know that the #Rust #playground over at Integer32 provides the top 100 crates for you to directly use in the playground? How cool is that!?

For example, try out #Rayon, a data-parallelism library for Rust:

Good news everyone! I passed my thesis defense yesterday, and now only have some minor revisions to the thesis itself left before I am completely done 🎉 You can find a recording of the thesis presentation here: https://youtu.be/GctxvSPIfr8.
Since the thesis isn't _completely_ done, I haven't posted the actual document yet, though I will make it public once it's finalized. You can find the slides at https://jon.thesquareplanet.com/slides/thesis.pdf.

"Apple made ProtonMail add in-app purchases, even though it had been free for years"

"and that when the dev dared send an email to customers notifying them of the change, Apple threatened to remove the app and blocked all updates."

I subscribe to a newsletter[1] that has a coding challenge every week.

I did this week's in #Rust, but I'm sure there are many ways to make it more compact/better....

I've realized that I don't use any dependency injection in #Rust, and I don't miss it.

Cargo makes dependencies and workspaces so easy, that I break code up into small libraries instead. They are testable individually, and bigger things that would be unit tests with DI become more of integration tests instead.

Firefox Send is being discontinued. I guess Mozilla doesn't want to build services around the Firefox brand anymore? 🦊

if java stops working on your computer, that just means someone else has installed java,and yours had to be sacrificed to maintain the 3 billion figure

The #rust community is so big now that you stumble over awesome crates with thousands of stars on github, and you don't stumble over them because someone mentioned them to you, but because they just "appear" on your way through the internet.

This is awesome.

Can we please, please – PLEASE! not make the nonsensical US date format month/day/year the default in applications? 🤦‍♂️

PRE 👏 TTY 👏 PLEASE

And to all users of that format: it makes no sense, it's counter-intuitive, it makes collaboration frustrating, it introduces inconsistencies and errors... Just stop. Please. Use international standards.
(And don't get me started on your other units of weights, volumes and distances. Bloody hell.)

Boost if I'm right.

#Tusky 12.1 is out with a new setting to remove the top app bar, bug fixes and improved translations!
Thx to everyone reporting bugs and translating the app 💙
