cargo build looks simple. But under the hood? It’s a maze of compiler stages, optimizations, and decisions. At #EuroRust25, @noratrieb will break it down. From rustc to LLVM to linking and all the steps in between. 🧵1/3

What did I do in rustc in November? hackmd.io/@compiler-errors/e…

"Mundane Halloween" returns! It's that time of year again, when Japanese website @dailyportalz holds its annual contest to dress up as something super ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2024 contest!

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX AI). I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right. Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird. I open my original photo. No bra showing. I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF... Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨 Immediately, I email the conference host. (FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.) He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue. He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website. She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller. AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯 — FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.

question: why are things hard to stabilize in the rust compiler?

apropos of nothing...... anyone looking for a Compiler Engineer?

Here's a fun trick you can do with template literals in TS!

If your code forces me to think about the order of operator precedence in the language, you should add some ().

while i do post on twitter sometimes, you will find even more of my posts on mastodon and really should consider following me there instead: hachyderm.io/@nilstrieb

lol apparently X quietly and automatically opts everyone into being used as training data for Grok if you wish to opt out, here’s the link: x.com/settings/grok_settings

it hurts me to see things being rushed into Rusts edition 2024, which will cause people to burn out, because no one wants to wait for 3 years. it's a shame because Rust has very much solved this problem for releases... I hope we can do better next time.
