While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

I made my temporary fork of Bevy Hanabi more concrete. It's now called Hanabi-Batched: github.com/pcwalton/bev...
This is a temporary fork that provides much better performance in real-life scenarios, making the difference between a shippable game and not in most cases.

I feel like I just pulled off an Indiana Jones move. My daughter was watching Ms Rachel on my phone. I got my wife's phone to the same spot in the video and swapped the phones without any complaints.

The evolution of Rust compiler errors over the last 10 years. So much effort has been put there! This is why I tell Rust beginners that they should consider the compiler as their mentor and not their opponent. #RustLang

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

Hey, if you're a Rust and/or embedded person, and you use the probe-rs toolkit (pretty much everyone does in embedded and Rust!), you'd be doing me a huge favor if you took a minute to fill out their survey and/or share internally or with people you know:

That right there. That tells everyone how Trust & Safety is going to act, and it gives T&S profound latitude. They're not there to rules-lawyer or first-amendment.

Borgo lang looks like quite a nice addition to #golang. It adds exactly the minimum feature set of typing that I want for a language, namely:
- No nulls, instead Option and Result
- Sum types
- No nulls, instead Option
