Thinking of starting a #rust meetup in #brisbane again. Anyone interested in coming / speaking?

We, at The Working Party, just released a package to parse the doc blocks. We use this package to automatically generate documentation and test our files to make sure every snippet and block has those blocks for type safety and auto completion in the editor #shopify #rust github.com/the-working-...

Hey folks. Looking for an awesome front end dev for the Shopify ecosystem in Australia or New Zealand for full time employment. We have a bunch of things cooking and would love to hear from you. www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42...

I’ve written up a tutorial I’ve given to a couple friends and colleges #teaching them #Rust and it’s been a lot of fun. It’s 4 parts and starts here: dominik-wilkowski.com/posts/learni...

📝 First blog in a long time! I always like “flow-based” programming, and it’s a very powerful paradigm. LangGraph lets you codify complex workflows as graphs, and also integrates really well with LangChain, if your workflow is LLM-driven. surma.dev/things/langg...

🌈 Ever wanted to get the accessible color contrast from a given color using only CSS? Well, here's how: blog.damato.design/posts/css-on...

After 20 years of writing code and 10 years trying to quit, I did the only logical thing: I built a website to rant about it. Introducing SegfaultAndCoffee.com — a collection of sarcastic rants, emotional tech debt, and the kind of Rust-powered existential dread you can’t cargo fix.

Fastest way to check if a year is a leap year? hueffner.de/falk/blog/a-... Best part: "I couldn't immediately find a way to prove it, so I employed the tried-and-true method of getting someone else to do it for me by posting it to the Code Golf StackExchange."

Fun fact \\#2137: the Rust compiler recognizes git diff markers

The movie buff in me and the Rust developer in me approve. #rustweek

Great article. > Further, I advocate for Rust developers to document and share their mistakes in the hope that we can all learn from them. Couldn’t agree more.

This article speaks deeply to what I think the right way is you build a “high performing team/company”. This is how you do it.

I feel seen

Fantastic post and a novel approach to something seemingly unrelated. #rust

I’m writing the pathfinding for my 2D #CLI #rust game and in there you can move multiple blocks so I added a comment: // there is a chain of blocks (a blockchain) that can be pushed to squish the player I think I’m pretty funny. But I just asked Claude to review my code and it came up with this.

They finally got him for Crimes Against Humanity hackaday.com/2021/03/22/c...

cipherstash.com/blog/introdu... This looks amazing!

Folks I’m hiring a principle eng at my company. Web stuff is important and we do a lot of #Shopify stuff but I would LOVE someone with an interest in #rust (either you’re already building it or have an interest in learning it) in Australia or New Zealand. The work is super exciting. DMs are open

I really like the default compiler output of VI vine.dev/docs/startin... Anyone know if there is something like this for #rust? A cargo plugin that shows you interactions (clone, copy, other trait calls) and the memory footprint (heap, stack size)

This is an interesting read about the Fish shell team's experience porting fish from C++ to Rust. There's some good, some bad, but an improvement in the end. It's also interesting to see them highlight using Rust will (hopefully) encourage more contributors fishshell.com/blog/rustport/

In another episode of #engineering thoughts: >>Explicit over implicit<< It may just safe lives.

Stop saying RUST is complicated rust-on-nails.com/bl... #rust #rustlang

😍 PSA: ident() is an upcoming CSS feature I’m incredibly excited about and you're about to be too. It will allow you to compose CSS variables from other variables, making code like this possible. 😍 Spec: drafts.csswg.org/css-values-5... Proposal (by @bram.us ): github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...

The last episode of #silo season 2 just broke my brain. That cut was editor cruelty after 20 episodes of … well … silo

Been using tuple.app for a while now and it has by far the best #paircoding experience. Recommend. (Not affiliated)

“Should accordions auto-close sections?” ashleemboyer.com/blog/should-... An ‘accordion’, by definition, forces a collapse. If you don’t want auto-collapse then build a disclosure widget. That said, to answer the post question, It Depends™. I see another post about naming things in my future.

Hey folks. I work at an agency and we got a product roadmap and some exciting stuff to work on. I’m looking for our first principle engineer who knows the web (bonus for #rustlang experience). Someone who loves to tinker and can deal with my dad jokes. Hit me up! www.linkedin.com/posts/domini...

simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/31/... @simonwillison.net has a great roundup here!

A big heartfelt thank you from all of us at Signal to every person who has ever used Signal, gotten your friends to make the switch, and donated to support our work. It is truly an honor to build Signal for you. 💙

Back when I was an IC I wrote this package: github.com/dominikwilko... Look at the intro in the readme: I was clearly miffed by some decisions made above me. Now that I’m a CTO I’m keen to not make those mistakes with my people. Best to listen to them.

🎄 New article! 🎁 "Catching up with async Rust" is sponsor-exclusive for six months as an article, and available now as a video: fasterthanli.me/articles/cat...

We should normalize compiler errors on windows when building #CLI apps that need raw mode. Having to use external crates that add a lot of complexity just to deal with both platforms isn’t going to help us make the ecosystem better in the long term. Luckily there is an alternative for users. #rust

As a manger this was a personal win: git-wrapped.com/profiles/Dom...

The TV show Secret Level has been awesome. I hope next season they do an episode about #factorio

Game changer for #DesignSystems

#shopify just launched their bi-annual feature which they dubbed “the boring edition” and I wrote about it here: theworkingparty.com.au/journal/shop...

This is going to be a game changer for e-commerce websites and their variant selectors.

#CSS scroll-state() container queries: the "stuck" query ```css @container scroll-state(stuck: top) { box-shadow: var(--shadow-5); border-radius: var(--radius-3); margin: var(--size-5); } ``` article coming soon! (currently in Canary experiments)

Reminding you all that aria-label overwrites. <span aria-label="Price">€30</span> This changes the accessible name to "Price". It does not concatenate.
