The video of our first steps into implementing "A Practical Wait-Free Simulation for Lock-Free Data Structures" in #rustlang is up! I miss these longer streams — they're a lot of fun. Still some way to go, but we made good progress! https://youtu.be/Bw8-vvtA-E8

Just lovely ❤️: "However, note that Rust is a project run by volunteers. We prioritize the personal well-being of everyone working on Rust over any deadlines and expectations we might have set. This could mean delaying the edition a version if necessary, or dropping a feature that turns out to be too difficult or stressful to finish in time."

Go have a look at the blog post, if you want to know what's coming for #Rust edition 2021.
Very impressive, how they plan to fix some problems.

#Signal app uses #Rust now: https://github.com/signalapp/ringrtc/blob/master/src/rust/src/core/group_call.rs

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."

May you be as happy as a troop of bears discovering a heap of apples

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? 🦊
