When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Heavy lifting for the virtual list is done: with sorting, filtering, and resizable columns. Want to search through over a million files? Sure, why not. Since drag-and-drop isn’t supported on Linux (Wayland) yet in iced.rs, this one is for the Apple fanboys:

I am cooking again! This time, I decided to go with iced.rs. It might not be the most beginner-friendly GUI framework, but the code is well-documented and it feels very powerful, flexible, and 'rusty'. Love it so far!

3 posters handing on the wall. the posters combine to form Ferris (orange crab, rust mascot) looking sneakily from below and asking "how may I help?". background contains repeating "7878", the number you can call at CCC for rust help. The posters look really good. 

below one of the posters there is an antifascist sticker.

Vince Gilligan didn’t disappoint. A creative, humorous series with great videography and just small narrative paddings. One of the best series I watched for a long, long time. Looking forward for season 2. ★★★★☆ 4.5/5

Rust Goes Mainstream in the Linux Kernel Rust is no longer experimental. It's now as acceptable as C in the Linux kernel.

”What’s wrong with build tools? Other languages are compiled!”

Yes, but their compiler is official and always there.

The #JS ecosystem has devolved into a state where abstraction, the most fundamental software engineering concept, has been outsourced to third party tooling.

*That’s* the problem.

Icons in Menus Everywhere — Send Help Writing about the big beautiful mess that is making things for the world wide web.

Nice observation from Jim. Windows 11 also has this icon clutter in the context menu. For GNOME I had to check first, yes, no icons. Good design is often invisible.

#rustlang hot take: We should rename .unwrap() to .or_panic(). (And .expect() to .or_panic_with().) "Unwrap" is a terrible name for the panicking function, especially since we also have things like .unwrap_or() and .unwrap_or_default() which never panic.
