iddqd, or the hardest kind of unsafe Rust. My first post for the @oxide.computer blog! Goes deep into the pitfalls of unsafe Rust and how to reason about it. A lot of labor went into the post -- please have a read! oxide.computer/blog/iddqd-u...

if you haven't done trail work before - I strongly recommend it!!! the forest park conservancy is responsible for our trails being beautiful around Portland. All it takes is a single outing on unmaintained trails to viscerally feel how much is lost when trail work falls to the wayside

my futurelock talk from #tokioconf is up! check it out, enjoy the story of a nightmare bug we saw at @oxide.computer

Stone humidifier continues holding it's place as one of the best starter relics in STS 2 also sleight of the flesh is so strong

working for polymarket should be understood as loosely morally equivalent to, like, being paid to sell heroin (and nothing else) to 8 year olds (and nobody else)

claude code is bourgeoisie super meat boy

golang enthusiasts be like "check out our cute mascot" the mascot:

This is futurelock! - There is a future which needs to be polled to finish picking up a lock (it was granted a permit) - But no one is polling it, so progress cannot be made - and any other task waiting for this stuck future to complete will wait forever

hit a similar issue a few times, when I asked: - Please write a regression test first, check that it fails - Then write the fix Where claude will write an insufficient test, see that it passes, and move on happily. Such a straightforward mistake, but pretty bad if uncaught!

As someone who drives in SE PDX more than I bike, my goals are, in-order: 1. Don't murder anyone 2. Get where I'm going Making streets safer for cyclists helps me (and other drivers) do (1) without impeding (2). Bring back the planters!

Holman lane is one of my favorite hills in forest park. Yesterday I organized a little group run to go up and down it all day long. We raised a few hundred dollars for forest park conservancy! Perhaps I need to rally the runners for more hills repeat events soon 👀

> “Our fiscal system only works with immense growth,” says Mike Wilkerson, director of economic research at Portland-based ECOnorthwest. “That’s our economic strategy.” Not wrong, and choosing to ignore this will imperil way too many public services that we can't afford to lose.

Is the US also bombing elementary schools, vaporizing children, to stop them from making more soldiers? God damn this sucks

Great story, with possibly the greatest author's disclosure of all time: "Disclosure: Prior to his election, the author was Councilor Green’s DM in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign."

people will use this as a pretense to fearmonger even though an average of 429 children are injured by manually operated vehicles every single day Waymo should absolutely be expected to analyze and prevent similar situations going forward, but human drivers are so dangerous

we should tax Waymo for presence in portland, and have outsized penalties for them for unsafe driving, resulting in compensation to the city/citizens. This could fund public transit options (trimet) I don't understand the pdx approach to ban technology, rather than force it to become a net good

For Rust people interested in async code at TokioConf, I'll see y'all in April!

going to start using "do you think the merlin bird ID app is evil" as a litmus test before discussing technology with people

This is the eternal question of a software developer: Am I failing to understand this because it's too clever? Or because it's too dumb?
