@jmduke.com I have a quirky RSS-to-email issue around a feed item which had already-processed content in it, but that content *was showing Markdown*, so the Buttondown preprocessor happily tried to parse it and things went… badly. 😂 What's the best way for me to send you a bug report w/that email?

The problem with #semver in practice: we can't possibly do it by hand. Check out my hot takes in this clip from my @changelog.com interview! It's the same story in all languages: Python, TS/JS, Rust, you name it. Better tooling or bust! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qd1...

The cargo-deny docs are (a) really good, (b) kind of hilarious. > The GNU licenses are, of course, different from all the other licenses in the SPDX list which makes them annoying to deal with. Story checks out. 😂 embarkstudios.github.io/cargo-deny/c...

Weeknote: July 6–13, 2024 — Sympolymathesy, by Chris Krychov5.chriskrycho.com The most important talk I have given, open source software work, a book review at TGC, some progress toward a job, and one short blog post.

Insisting on a design that *has room to get faster* is good. Insisting on an implementation that is maximally fast from day 1 ... is a recipe for never shipping anything.

To me, there was always an implied caveat of "make it right ." For example: cargo-semver-checks today isn't as fast as it could be. But I know how to make it 10-100x faster, for when that becomes the best place to apply resources.

You have heard it said, “Make it work, make it right, make it fast”; but I say to you: “A definition of ‘work’ which excludes correctness and performance is meaningless.”

Currently reading the code in a particular package in github.com/volta-cli/vo... and was wondering why this one tiny module has its own crate in the workspace. Check git blame. And of I was the one who added it. Of course. 😂

I built a little Rust-powered CLI tool back in early June that I use all the time now, which I hope to open source in the next week or two, called count-md. It’s like `wc`, but it’s Markdown-, HTML-, and Unicode-aware, so it can accurately count the *words* in a Markdown text. (1/4)

Wanted: a handy way to have a repository of which only a particular subtree is publicly visible. I have a private project I would like to open source just *part* of, and… yeah, I know of no fun way to do this. (Yes, yes, git submodules. Do I look like a man who hates himself?)

I realize I buried the lede on this: What is the talk *about*? It’s about maybe the most important question for the field of software: How do we make *good* software—in two senses: 1. The robustness and resilience of the software artifact and system. 2. What software we choose to build at all.

“Some meetings should have been an email. This talk should have been a keynote.”—Paweł Szulc “…what may be the best talk I’ve seen at LambdaConf”—Adam McCullough This is the talk I have worked hardest on, the one whose message I care most about, and—I think—my best. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7Je...

I've just put together a 40 second "fast forward" video for our High Performance Graphics talk later this month: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkeq... The animations were all hand-coded in Rust and rendered in Vello in real time. It feels like a preview of the power to support high-powered creative tools.

Last night’s #piano practice fun: reflecting on how some *very* different pieces of music have been stretching me. Literally. My hands do not like playing tenths! www.instagram.com/reel/C9OPf2o...

And an alias: github.com/BurntSushi/d... So now I just open a terminal, type `mkrust wat` and now I can edit `main.rs` and I'm off to the races.

I used the playground a lot and wondered why I didn't just do things locally. So put some attention to the problem and realized it was because of little overheads: calling `cargo new`, picking a directory, setting up rustfmt, blah blah. So I made: github.com/BurntSushi/d...

Adventures in piano practice, from last’s night’s hilarious/distressing moment when I tried to pick back up the Ralph Vaughan Williams doxology after Schutz “Sign Praise to God Who Reigns Above”. www.instagram.com/reel/C9LwwpQ...

Chris Krycho on Instagram: "Oh no. I learned a new hymn for church and it broke my ability to play a hymn I learned last month. 🥴 #piano #music #hymnals #practice"www.instagram.com 4 likes, 1 comments - chriskrycho on July 8, 2024: "Oh no.

It just struck me that `#[cfg(…)]` and modules ends up being a funny halfway point to first-class modules in #Rust (a la #OCaml et al.). (We don’t need first-class modules in Rust anytime in the next decade, lang team. You can think about it after Rust 2036. 😉)

Here’s a #Rust pro tip: the playground is genuinely great, but you can make your own locally. ``` cargo new playground cd playground cargo add ``` Then just open an editor and get to mucking around! Mine lately looks like this:

Did all of those things (well: made progress on the bug, but in the form of “add a bunch of tracing and tell people how to run with that mode in place”)! And ran 10.5 miles and cycled another 6, so I feel pretty good *and* pretty tired. 😅 Now for the day’s side quests. 😏

Today’s goals: • More revisions on the new async/await chapter for the #Rust book. • Some job hunting/networking calls. • Seeing if I can’t get to the bottom of a github.com/volta-cli/vo... bug that has been bothering some of our macOS users. If I get through all of that: maybe composing! 🎼

#weeknote time! This week: programming language progress, revisions on the #Rust book async chapter, continuing the job search, and some writing! v5.chriskrycho.com/journal/week...

Weeknote: June 30–July 5, 2024 — Sympolymathesy, by Chris Krychov5.chriskrycho.com Top-level forms in my programming language, half of a major revision pass on the async chapter for TRPL, a first dry run for StaffPlus, and job hunting!

This is the part of the week where I drag myself back to work… on a project I love! But even so, after a very late night post-fireworks, I am not feeling it this morning. 😮‍💨😅 Making some tea and getting to it.
