Want shorter Rust compile times? Try out the new experimental parallel front-end. Details in the blog post.

here's an animation emulating what it's like to see motion on high-framerate monitors!

the video is 60 fps, but I've used temporal supersampling to add the frames you would see, if your monitor was of a higher framerate

it's not 100% accurate of course, it looks more like motion blur here than it would on an actual high-framerate display, but hopefully it gives you an idea of the smoothness of higher refresh rates

my talk "Why can't you multiply vectors?" is now live on youtube!! 🎉

We're looking for sponsors for our next Rust meetup at TU Delft (NL).
If you're interested (or have tips) please contact @erikjee / erik@rustnl.org. Thanks!

We are back for day 22 of the @extinctionrebellionnl #A12 blockade in the Hague, demonstrating against Dutch government subsidies to the fossil fuel industry, totalling at least 37.5 billion euros a year. #scientistrebellion #StopFossieleSubsidies #climatecrisis

Yay, new Polonius blog post just dropped: https://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2023/09/22/polonius-part-1/

10th day in a row: activists block the #A12 in the Hague. Our demand to the Dutch govt: stop the 40–46 billion € per year of fossil subsidies.

Tomorrow at noon will be the 11th time - right before the govt presents its Budget Memorandum (aka the #Miljoenennota).

every single word in this is truly magical

Computer keyboards should have a removable crumb tray, like a toaster.

New post: Semver violations are common, better tooling is the answer

What we did:
1. Scan #rustlang's most popular 1000 crates
2. Triage & verify 3000+ semver violations
3. Build better tooling instead of blaming human error

Check it out!

📚 godot-rust now has a devlog!

Stay up-to-date with library development and get insights into design choices.

⏱️ Our first article is about performance, FFI calls and a minimalistic benchmark infrastructure.
By caching function pointers, gdext could improve execution time of certain Godot calls by an order of magnitude!

Great news! Humans are now slower and perform worse at solving Captchas than machine-learning bots!

Vandaag lanceren wij onze overheidsserver op Mastodon.

In de brief die ik aan de Kamer heb gestuurd over 'Digitale gemeenschapsgoederen' op 22 juni, heb ik aangegeven dat ik twee waardengedreven alternatieven voor social media ondersteun.

Een van deze alternatieven is een 'eigen' Mastodon-server die door overheidsorganisaties gebruikt worden.

Hiermee zetten we weer een stap in onze Werkagenda Waardengedreven Digitaliseren.

Oh no, "Pump Up the Jam" just came up on "the radio" and I IMMEDIATELY thought of Cunk on Earth. My brain has been rewired 🙃
