Rustacean š¦, devourer of fruits š. I love cats too, the one in the photo is the scrungiest I ever met !
Jƶrg SeidelThat's absolutely sad to read. The CEO of @mullvadnet is not only financing the far-right Swedish Ćrebro party, but he even is their main financer. 70+% of their money is his donation. He is the reason why they go nationwide this year.
For obvious reasons i cease to trust this service. Also i do not finance parties that aim for forced deportations.

Katerina MarchƔn@mullvadnet my dude. My broski. My sibling in computer. Calling for ethnic cleansing is not a mere difference of political opinion.

Pauline von Hellermann#ClimateDiary āAbove is a fictional weather forecast for August 18, 2050, broadcast by French television in 2014, intended to warn against the disastrous consequences of global warming.
Below is the weather forecast for June 22, 2026.ā

This brings out super starkly how #ClimateChange has accelerated so much more quickly than we thought even just 12 years ago.

For any project that relies on collaboration, it doesn't matter how smart an individual is if they drive other people away. The underlying technical points might have a lot of merit, but I would not want to use a tool that would have me interact with people like that that would berate me for filing a bug. I would certainly not want to contribute code to such a project.
I am amazed how many people confuse "being a dick" with "having a personality". I hate the "asshole genius" trope because all it's done is convince assholes that they are geniuses, and non-geniuses to think the way to appear smart is to be an asshole.
If you can't communicate effectively ("play well with others"), you're not nearly as smart as you think you are. Smart people know how to get shit done, and the only way to get shit done at a scale beyond what any given human can do on their own is collaboration. And no one wants to collaborate with an asshole.
Mikey!
nrc- We already have a rust expert, why hire you?
Because they have better things to do! They are probably a domain expert too, and they presumably have things to do for the team. It's probably more productive to let them get on with their work and let me help the rest of the team ramp-up on Rust.
I also have experience mentoring and teaching Rust, working on policies and strategies to adopt Rust, and using Rust in many different domains and contexts, not just as a Rust developer and Rust expert.
- Why not use Claude (or StackOverflow, etc.)?
I'll help people actually learn Rust, not just answer immediate questions.
I'll give nuance and context, not opinionated answers. I'll be proactive in finding better ways to use Rust or guide your learning. I understand the human context of the work. I'll actually tell you if you're doing something wrong. And I don't charge per-token.
- What will you actually do?
I can tailor that to what works best for your team and it will usually evolve over time. Typically, I'll have regular 1:1s with team members, run group seminars on useful topics, review code, and be available for online support on Slack or similar.
- Ask me more questions and I'll answer them here! Or if you prefer to have a chat, get in touch via [email protected]
mhoyeWhatever they say about "loving the Web", the Chrome team will choose Google's ad business over everything else, web standards, user agency, security, privacy, safety, interoperability, literally anything and everything else every single time.
What anyone on that team says they love or care about or want does not change anything they're going to do.

Yes, they're thrashing. Yes, the AI stuff is bullshit nobody wants.

Gabriele SveltoThe idea of banning minors from using social media is at its heart an attempt to punish victims instead of going against the perpetrator. If minors are more easily victimized by the predatory practices of large tech corporations it's not their fault. The blame lies squarely on the corporations. They must stop using predatory practices. And that's doubly important because those practices hurt adults and minors alike.
