New blog post: An effect notation based on with-clauses
https://blog.yoshuawuyts.com/a-with-based-effect-notation
This is my third attempt at defining a notation for a full-fledged effect system in Rust. It's taken some influence from Flix, Koka, and Effekt. As well as including a little sprinkling of Python, Swift, and Scala.
With some luck people will hate this design less than the last time I had a go at this.
Here is a fun thing. I work for Vivaldi Browser. Load any of our websites and you see no cookie banner and no mention of partners.
"But wait" you say, "didn't those terrible Europeans mandate the cookie banner!?"
No, no they did not. We do not need a cookie banner because we are not selling all your shit to every company under the sun.
Also those sites with cookie banners are just doing malicious compliance. This was never about the EU requiring cookie banners!
We've just released #PeerTube v8.1.3!

I think i may need a break from mastodon.
it is not an exaggeration to say that the majority of my feed is now just various anti-AI posts.
the people pushing AI aren't here. they are not on your Mastodon instance. When you post about how terrible and ignorant and stupid they are they do not see it, and it's not like that sort of thing persuades anyone even if they did.
I want to keep up with the cool stuff you are all making and doing. But I realize I am not entitled to just pick and choose from the things you find important enough to share, so I am not sure what else to do when I find that reading my feed no longer improves my mental health.
RE: https://oldbytes.space/@gloriouscow/116224004520766154
There's a larger issue here here, and that is that it's trendy in certain spaces to be extreme and opinionated about your beliefs, and angry at anyone who doesn't share them. I see this a lot on Bluesky and Mastodon.
The problem is, this is a slippery slope towards ending up in a tiny bubble and losing many of your friends. And that doesn't lead to happiness or to good mental health. Not for you, and not for the people around you.
The two biggest topics I see this with lately is AI and trans discourse. The simple fact is, morality isn't absolute. Words don't have absolute meanings. Tools aren't absolutely evil or absolutely moral.
It's okay to be sad at the state of the world. I'm sad too! And it's okay to be angry at problem people (think, the billionaire class). But when you direct that anger at your peers, just because they don't share the exact moral compass you have, you're just hurting them and hurting yourself.
It's impossible to live in a world where your social circle is fully aligned with you on beliefs and morals. It just isn't. It's okay to be disappointed. But if you start cutting people off for it, you aren't making anything better.

At this point, every #rustup release is another small victory worth celebrating 🥳
Many thanks not only to myself for making it all the way here, but also to the rustup team, the Rust org, and every single friend that has supported me through this journey, without your help this would never be possible 🙏
Honestly, e-bikes have been the technology that has improved my life the most in the last five years. I live in a hilly place, and with my first e-bike a few years ago, I suddenly became able to commute by bike. Then, with the cargo bike last year, I suddenly became able to take my eight-year-old places by bike.
She sometimes actually hugs me while we're out on the bike. Best damn thing in the world, and it couldn't happen in a car.
