Found it

Just learned about Pine Martens , while listening to Tanya Reilly's "Staff Engineer's path" book. What cute little creatures they're!

A snapshot of the "Careers" tab at https://oxide.computer showing that we have 9 (!!) current openings

Nervously excited that we have more current openings than we have ever had before at @oxide.computer

I just accidentally sent My plans for the Apocalypse to an editor at The Atlantic.

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers | Rebecca Shaw Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg’s desperation to be cool as they suck up to Donald Trump is so cringe it makes my skin crawl

That's a very apt thumbnail.

For once, I can say that Thunderbird doesn't hate yubikeys. So nice!

Yesss, see ya!

The Rust ecosystem is amazing, but it can be hard to discover new crates. Today @ahl.bsky.social and I will be joined by our colleagues @elizas.website and @sunshowers.io, who will offer their wisdom and walk us through some crates you should know. Join us, 5p Pacific!

Was wondering how snafu's approach is different than thiserror/anyhow, found a blogpost that answers it: greptime.com/blogs/2024-0...

I got to know about Alioth today. Looks quite an interesting project, especially their error handling practice (Inspired from GreptimeDB):

I was originally going to call this post “What makes a programming language real?” because I saw some people picking a fight on the internet about this type of topic, yet again, and it got me thinking as to why we even broach the topic in the first place.

Inside Bluesky’s Engineering Culture A deep dive into how a fully remote, open source-first, tech company is building a challenger social media platform. What can small teams learn from Bluesky about punching above your weight?

Did a deepdive into the Bluesky engineering team: the history and how they work a few months back.

Back then they were 12 engineers, and growing very slow (headcount-wise.) The majority of engineers were former founders (!!!)

I love being around people who find it easy to be happy for others. Gaining the purest joy just from seeing other folks do well.

Unwinding support for the JIT compiler · Issue #126910 · python/cpython TLDR This is a lot of text because the issue is complex but if you want the gist: To not break a lot of tools that rely on unwinding, I propose to fix this by compiling the JIT stencils with frame ...

After a week of nightmares 😱 and long stares at the abyss that of gcc, llvm, libunwind, elfutils, several JITs and much more me and Brandt have a proposal to allow unwinders to work with CPython’s new JIT which will avoid breaking all the tools that rely on them ✨

Are drafts a thing here yet

A lot of folks have been lamenting that now so many people are here and their accounts are growing they can't shitpost anymore and I say: No, friends, shitpost harder! Be the shitposter you want to see in the world! Lean the fuck in!! Protect the Bluesky vibe at all costs!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Ah, nice. Didn't know they've class recordings too.
