Got my "extrapolated for a machine with more RAM" 1BRC-in-Rust time down to 2 seconds on my M1 MacBook Air, pretty happy with that. Not bad for a 5½yo fanless laptop.
(I just use 3e8 entries and divide the time by 0.3; the benchmark assumes a warm start and enough RAM to cache the entire file, which I don't quite have)
New games for an old console: Meet the new generation of Game Boy developers
> A small community of game developers is releasing new games for Nintendo's decades-old video game console, harnessing the nostalgia of these classic devices.
In the 1980s, I worked in Australia's Commonwealth Employment Service. I came to the conclusion that, with few exceptions, people want to feel that they're contributing to their community. The “Dole Bludger” is mythical.
Totalitarian Capitalism does not serve the nation well. Australia is rich enough to afford every resident the necessities of life and opportunities to do something that's meaningful to them.
“They felt a higher degree of trust in their own future but also in their fellow citizens and public institutions.”
…
“… how can global capital maintain its momentum if the workers with bad jobs in bad places are given the chance to plan for a better future?”
…
“People want to work. And that includes work that’s not itemised or valued by capital.”

The idea that there’s only so much money to go around makes a bastard kind of sense to the poor. If impossible decisions abound in their lives, it must be true of governments, too. Certainly, that’s how federal budgets are framed. But beyond impressionism, we know the household budget is not analogous to state budgets in any meaningful way.
@notgull Hello! I liked your post on block patterns at https://notgull.net/block-pattern/ ; I do this too.
What I'm really missing from Rust is something like R's right assignment operator; the block pattern would be so much more readable if you could put the destination variable *after* the block like this:
{
let x=1;
let y=2;
x+y
} -> z;
