@engelbart I found the book Zero to Production in Rust (https://www.zero2prod.com/) a great 2nd step once I finished the Rust book. You get to build something - and get help along the way! #rust #zerotoprod

I hadn't considered how some of the semantics of Rust would make writing a good linked list library harder than usual. I'm also surprised there isn't one in the standard library. This post had a good coverage of the topic, from this non Rustian's perspective anyway. #rustlang #programming #rust diziet.dreamwidth.org/13476.ht…

For anyone interested in my profile image, it's an Identicon!

I may be old, but I'm slow

I am dead, I can’t believe this AI intro text I just got. If you thumb through it, there are all the usual suspects like breadth-first search and probability.

Then you open the first chapter and it goes HARD on the current state of things.

Then it’s back to mathematical notation like nothing happened.

I'm impressed with the robustness of the mastodon-fediverse so far, under extreme duress.

kudos to the sysadmins

Once crypto was advertised during the superbowl, it was clear the end was near. On the plus side, #calbears will soon get to sell the naming rights to "FTX field at Memorial Stadium" again.

Happy to be on Mastodon and try to figure out a new social media site - I love the fact we can have so many characters

this seems fun :

Getting to ML/AI! ✨

the most cursed thing I've seen all day https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/other-ways-to-use-1.1.1.1/dns-over-telegram

LinkedIn suggested this group to me. “Linguists in Tech”, that certainly sounds like me. Oh look, what's that octagonal font they used for their logo? Well, it's none other than my “Computer Says No” font: https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/954016/computer_says_no_1

I guess that makes me pretty eligible to be in that group 😉

I'm gonna keep posting this until one of you fucking boosts it

Tomorrow will be the last day we see the Sun until February. Well we’ll likely not see it as it is forecast to be overcast. People image we have one long night, but that’s not true. We have a varying amount of twilight as the Sun skims below the horizon.
