blaze: incremental compilation for Rust that’s 10x faster than rustc and also adds hot reloading it’s fast because it recompiles only the functions that changed, thus avoiding a full linker process, and also allowing the live program to be patched github.com/indexable-in...

society if rust had used the terms shared and exclusive from the beginning

If you need a random color (e.g. procedurally coloring objects), you should use Oklab or Oklch color space instead of RGB or HSV. RGB may span the whole spectrum, but it does not pick fairly (leaning dark/muddy). Oklab is designed to more closely map to how we perceive color

it is so unbelievably refreshing to have a standalone headset that runs real Linux and lets me do whatever the hell I want. immediately worth the cost of entry

I like the self-aware slogan of CMake

"I spent a lot of time going over the design decisions involved here, trying my best to complain about async Rust, only to end up going “Oh. Yeah. That’s reasonable. That makes sense. I can see why they did it that way.” every step of the way." herecomesthemoon.net/2026/10/asyn...

It's #TrailerTuesday again! If you like the sound of a game about being a robot blasting other robots and stealing their parts to rebuild yourself, give us a wishlist? Demo out October 8th! store.steampowered.com/app/2660180?... #gamedev #indiegamedev #gaming #videogames

1️⃣ the best authors of libraries have 'felt the pain' and are making it better 2️⃣ the 'curse of knowledge' means authors (can) become less insightful over time 3️⃣ a lack of domain expertise IS something you have to offer ... so, contribute to address a pain you have 🙏 roe.dev/ama #ama

A huge milestone: Fearless SIMD 1.0 is published: linebender.org/blog/fearles.... This was a real collaboration, thanks especially to Sergey Davidoff for pushing this over the line, Laurenz Stampfl, Andrew Jakubowicz, valadaptive, Benjamin Saunders, and Daniel McNab.

Today I learned there are only two known polyhedra in which each face shares an edge with every other face. One of them being the timeless beauty of the tetrahedron and the other one being whatever the heck this is

usa: we forgor to sandbox our automated hacking bot and it hacked ppl lol. scary as fuck. you should give us more money about it china: we made a humanoid robot that can run straight into a wall and fucking die faster than any previous humanoid robot could run straight into a wall and fucking die

This is actually the idiomatic nix usage pattern

⚠️ A few hours ago, a malicious crate was discovered on crates.​io which spread as a dependency of `arrayref` and some other crates, likely due to compromised credentials. The affected versions have been deleted. For details and how to see if you are impacted, see: blog.rust-lang.org/2026/08/20/s...

Void Star, absolute banger

Happy to announce a new project: OxiSH, a modern, memory-safe SSH server. dirkjan.ochtman.nl/writing/2026... Prossimo has three criteria for suggesting memory-safe rewrites: (1) widely used, (2) on a security boundary and (3) performing a critical function. This is clearly true for SSH servers.

This might be the most beautiful thing I've read in my life. What a privilege to be alive in 2026. ordinaryabundance.com

I just posted a blog post on my hyperbezier curve: linebender.org/blog/hyperbe... I've actually been working on this for years, and only recently figured out a solution to the parameter mapping problem. I think this curve is potentially better than cubic Béziers for 2D vector graphic design.

this is a great idea! on dreams we did something similar: replays were a png of the screen at start of recording, with the serialised save state after and then packet record. explorer et al just ignored the extra data :) crash dump handler wrote the same format, so every crash bug came with a

yes this is excellent

have you seen the talk that is by the person who wrote "Parse, don't validate" and kinda acts as a sort of sequel to that blog post

Counter-intuitive VFX win: more vertices → 2× faster transparent effect. Large empty quads waste fragment shader time. A custom mesh that hugs the actual visible content kills the invisible overdraw. Thanks Jan Mróz for the reminder. lnkd.in/p/dkjNVigH

DOCTRINEERS is a turn-based strategy game for sickos and weirdos. I have spent far too long working on it and I hope you all give me 25 us dollars for it www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dJo...

Big news: Martin (the author of Jujutsu) just joined ersc.io as CTO! Can we start dreaming about a jj-native forge for individuals now? 👀 #jj-vcs www.linkedin.com/posts/benjam...

I feel like game devs are a unique combination of all of “doing some of the hardest software engineering”, “wild west cowboy bullshit”, and “hitting themselves in the head with hammers for no reason”

Huge perf improvement (up to 34%!) was just merged in rustdoc. Instead of handling trait impls and then filtering them, we now do the opposite. Nice side-effect: notable traits feature now works even better. PR and link to the perf report: github.com/rust-lang/ru...

Unironically the thing that actually radicalized me was learning that wage theft outweighs all other forms of theft combined

Oh, this is cool! New rust-analyzer command. "rust-analyzer: Evaluate Predicate" Then type in the type and bound and it'll tell you whether it holds. So, you don't have to go through source code anymore. #rustlang

New blog post: "Please Steal My Meshing Algorithm Idea" This is something that I've been pitching to folks in person, but wanted to open it up to people that haven't met me at a graphics conference recently

Jujutsu v0.43.0 is out! github.com/jj-vcs/jj/re... jj is a Git-compatible version control system that is both simple and powerful. Below are some highlights of today's release ⬇️

i know the point of the "soda bottle next to a stack of sugar cubes" visualization is to shock you with how much sugar they cram into sodas but the takeaway i get from it is more like "oh cool i can just eat a fuckload of sugar cubes and it wouldn't be worse than having a soda"

I thought it would be fun (or at least interesting) to do some FAQs and answers on the #RustLang consulting I offer (I have availability from pretty much now, if this sounds useful)...

I wrote a manifesto for making games, and (not) selling them, for #manifestojam illomens.itch.io/no-one-is-go...

I hate to join the error handling hot takes but I really wish we'd settled on a convention for the `Display` formatting of `Error` (that is, whether it runs recursively or whether you're expected to follow the `source`). A mix a both styles leads to intensely overly verbose error prints.
