I have not found a single source that lists *all* entities that have suspended parcel service to the United States. This is my attempt at doing so.

(emojis removed as the post has a length limit)

These combine for 3.38 billion people — 44% of the non-US population globally.

Ireland, Israel, and Ukraine stated no interruptions. Countries in mid-grey have fully lifted suspensions previously in place.

I intend to keep this up to date with changes. For news, let me know!

Preview of what I have been working on recently. The core of this crate is a mere two traits. The crate will ship with a number of parsers and combinators, none of which rely on anything not exposed to downstream users.

I've attached a real-world situation, taken verbatim from the test suite. Parsing integers isn't as efficient as it could be yet, as it's using a naïve method.

Parsing in general compiles to be extremely efficient, and using it is ergonomic.

Came up with a new design for my avatar. The new design is more geometrically consistent, fits within a circle with larger margins, more compact, and corrects my long-standing intent as to color (yay color spaces). It also better shows that the right side is supposed to be a "P", rather than a random hook.

Totally unrelated to anything and not intentional, but I also think it looks vaguely like a chain link.

Thoughts? I'm considering changing it on all services that I use.

It's official: I will be speaking at #RustConf 2023 in Albuquerque.

The standard library is special. Let's change that.

Finally got around to digitizing (and vectorizing) a drawing of Ferris that was given to me at RustConf last year. It was done with only a pen and masking tape.
