building-systems.xyz/a-memory-pro... TLDR; back pressure is really important. Unbounded channels are a bad idea and dhat-rs is a really cool crate.

We build authn/z libraries on our team. We have to know all the details of what's going on.

NEW: Seattle is about to ban supermarkets from using your data to set individualized prices and coupons to curb price gouging and discrimination. The big grocer lobby is pissed, and is spamming Seattleites with scary text messages. Read in @thestranger.com: www.thestranger.com/news/seattle...

The court filing dug up by @kint.bsky.social is the most They Admit It i have ever seen in my life www.404media.co/doom-loop-op...

Don't give me hope.

Unfortunately a job offer I had fell through due to head count elimination so I am currently on the market for a new job! If you need someone with 11+ years of Rust, backend, and distributed systems experience I am your guy. Contact Email: michael@ductile.systems. Boosting appreciated!

Hey @1password.bsky.social, time to change course.

NEW OP-ED// Op-Ed: How Pike Place Market Can Thrive in the Winter Without Car Traffic By Gordon Padelford, Seattle Streets Alliance via @theurbanist.org

Through traffic would be diverted off Pike Place only on weekend days from October to March under SDOT's latest proposal for the pedestrian pilot's next phase. Story: www.theurbanist.org/pike-place-p...

CM Eddie Lin responds to the attacks in the Seattle Times on the idea of SEPA reform in an op-ed this morning. "Dense housing, walkable neighborhoods, and safe, accessible transit is how we can finally address our affordability crisis and build a more resilient and equitable city."

Seward Park days are always the best days.

Stacked diffs and scalable mono repo support is something I'm really looking forward to seeing how you guys solve for. Having worked in some janky mono repos, I'm pretty excited.

maybe a hot take? not only is ziggy sobotka a great character and a great performance (RIP james ransone), but looking back from the vantage point of today, "young man struggling with his masculinity and yearning to be recognized as a man commits catastrophic violence" is incredibly prescient.

I've been using jj with DiffConflict nvim to review changes locally before publishing them, and while pretty decent it want into many of the same issues that were called out in the thread. Looking forward to trying this out. Goes to show how far GitHub has fallen (was it that great to begin with?)

GitHub appears to have opted anyone using the CLI into sending telemetry they will use to inform product decisions. This is sneaky and should have been an opt-in decision, not opt-out. Disable it with `gh config set telemetry disabled`. cli.github.com/telemetry

Go - a Good™️programming language with great hits such as panicking if you call "close" on an already closed channel. Because errors and idempotency are for losers.

It’s that time again: I’m raising rent relief funds for Minneapolis immigrant families affected by ICE! Donations are down, but ICE is still here and there’s still so much need. Can you help? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and help if you can! Thank you! 💛

Senate Bill 6346, "establishing a tax on millionaires", just passed the Washington House on a 51-46 vote after more than 24 hours of floor debate.

Back on this, and today we have a $1000 match! Working in coordination with standwithminnesota.com, I’m adopting a rent. This Minneapolis immigrant family has a total need of $1800. Can you help? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and give if you can! Thank you! 🫶🏻

'jj split' alone is worth the switch to jujutsu if for no other reason.

You can vibe code your way to a working prototype. You cannot vibe code or one-shot your way to a competitive product that works at scale. The hard part isn't writing code; it's the architectural supervision.

What in the hell is going on over at GitHub?

We're actively looking to grow our team at @ersc.io again! If you are interested or know someone who might be, I'd love to chat. We are looking for distributed storage folk as well as frontend/UX.

Here's your new mayor, Seattle.

They're trying to squeak one more Harrell Administration priority through before the end of the year: allowing huge-ass corporate signs on skyscrapers in Downtown Seattle. services.seattle.gov/Portal/Cap/C...

Every new terrible GitHub announcement and outage makes me more eager for what @ersc.io is cooking 👀

Genuinely curious: is there any other reasons besides making more money that would warrant this charge? The comments already point out the fact that network ingress/egress isn't being charged.

Nixos is looking real interesting for my little NAS/lab project.

Switched to a team already using rust and expanded on the projects written in rust since then.

Congratulations to Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social I’m looking forward to working together in building a city that is affordable, safe, and thriving for working families!

There's still a lot of curable ballots from Seattle (about 1,800). Most are unsigned or signature mismatches, and most skew younger.

Proud of the Python Software Foundation for doing the right thing and standing up for their people, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

This is so incredibly condescending from the Seattle Times. Do you also ask male candidates if they'd considered running for an "easier" office?

Bruce Harrell's campaign is fundraising on the need to "fight back against the influence of outside money." The PAC set up to spend on Harrell's behalf has raised $1.2 million so far, compared to the $86,000 raised by the PAC set up for spend in support of Katie Wilson.
