Welp, I got laid off. RIP futurewei OSS rust team.

If you know anyone hiring systems engineers lmk.

We thought we had all of the money together to pay rent, but then bills went through and food was bought and we ended up short by a few hundred dollars.

We can pay it...but not until Tuesday and, by then, we'll have late fees.

#TransCrowdFund #DisabilityCrowdFund

just a heads up, that article going around about the FDA and a 'registry of trans women' comes from The Needle 'News', who have a track record of sensationalist and inflammatory reporting, take anything they say with a grain of salt until someone else backs it up

Any Rust users I know that got a Macbook Neo have an experience to report?

Looking at my bill it's probably right but pg&e won't let me login to see the details for some reason, yaay

(an excerpt from nori's website. set in frog green against charcoal grey) Values. 2020-04-07. In 2020 when I was applying for jobs I wrote about my values for my resume. It is “work-forward” (particularly with the first line being the first line) and it is an artifact of its time, but largely these are still values that I hold dearly. * Systems, Wisdoms, Documentation, & Categorization; * Eloquence, Candor, Quiet, & a Good Conversation; * Verbosity, Curiosity, Self-Awareness, & a Stomach for Details; * Help, Interest, Space, & Gracefulness; * Earnestness, Willingness, Openness, Meditativeness; * UnSelfishness, UnSelfConsciousness, UnSelfHatedness, UnSelfGatedness; * Tools, Transposition, Cross-Pollination, Self-Selection; * Commitment, Sharing, Caring, & a Good Metaphor; * && Taking Care of Folks by Being Sweet & Kind & Quick to Help!

nori's website is gone now, i would like to share this one part. they're good values, and i will try to carry them with me. you nailed it on all of them. i am proud to have been able to call you a friend

honoring the life of nori li A celebration of nori li, an American poet, musician and software engineer, who was passionate about the arts and trans liberation.

If you did indeed forget and need help I'll be next door

By default, behavioral changes are not breaking changes.

Documented behaviors on the other hand should be treated as semver relevant. It's hard to imagine a function ever documenting exactly how much memory it uses so that's probably always fair game.

I'm nearing the end of my masters so starting the search for a job

I'm interested in quite a wide array of things, my main skills & interests lie in Security, (Embedded) Rust and Cloud / Distributed Systems.
Preferably something Hybrid/Remote.

Question for the #rustlang crowd:

Anyone know of a formal CS textbook that teaches Data Structures and Algorithms in Rust?

What about a Graph Algorithms one?

Would appreciate a signal boost

Today’s my last day at AWS working on the Rust compiler. Unfortunately, back in July I received notice that I had to choose between moving to Boston from NYC, or leaving the company due to RTO policy. I unfortunately couldn’t abandon the city I plan on being my long term home.

FDA ends broad Covid vaccine authorization as RFK Jr. limits access to immunizations It's unclear how easily patients without high risk factors will be able to get a Covid shot, and whether insurance plans will still cover them.

Alchemy 2: Electric Boogaloo Why the dream of AGI rests on undiscovered mathematics, biochemical hand-waving, and Silicon Valley's accidental religion.

Interesting read about AGI's likely impossibility and includes one of my fave lines in recent weeks:

"hubris dressed as optimism."
