Map of British English dialects - Starkey Comics

This map took me a long time to make, and is very detailed, but will always be incomplete and inaccurate due to the nature of language. Why this map is so detailed The diversity of English dialects in the United Kingdom is enormous. It’s common for people from either side of a river, mountain, or […]

If there are any OpenStreetMap contributors reading, I have an important correction that needs to be made regarding Spokane, Washington:

I used to live on the South Hill, and could walk to Moran Prairie Elementary School within 10 minutes. It was located at the base of the hill (the street I used to live on is highlighted in orange) However, on OpenStreetMap, it is showing Chase Middle School, which is much further away. I don't know how to edit OpenStreetMap, but there is an important correction that needs to be made here.

I have noted this error to be visible for over 2 months without any attempts to fix it.

Pitfalls of Safe Rust | corrode Rust Consulting

When people say Rust is a “safe language”, they often mean memory safety. And while memory safety is a great start, it’s far from all it takes to build robust applications. Memory safety is important but not sufficient for overall r…

Sometimes I’m playing with Kitten and something makes me smile. This time, it’s an error message. Always nice when you get a little hat-tip from past you to current you. Thanks for putting in the work, past me ;)

🚨🔧Oh look, another #coder on a #quest for the Holy Grail of programming languages – this time with Rust! 🦀 Apparently, "ergonomics" includes giving yourself a headache while deciphering cryptic #compiler #errors. But hey, at least they love #Cargo, because nothing says 'business efficiency' like obsessing over your toolkit rather than the actual app. 🙄📈

Is Rust a good choice for business apps?

While you may hear a lot of harsh words about Rust is this rant, that doesn't have to mean it's a bad language. Rephrasing the classic: there are two types of programming languages: ones that people complain about and ones that nobody uses. I've started my journey with Rust in
