@fasterthanlime Someone keeps stealing my boyfriends 😭

rust has a lot of problems, but let me tell you: “micro libraries” isn’t one

splitting packages per concern is good for build performance, it’s good for review, it’s good for API evolution.

the problems are technical (compiler perf), financial (funding OSS), human etc.

@fasterthanlime petition for a grass variant to add jungle animals

@fasterthanlime *rushes to add this to https://spade-lang.org/ error messages

@fasterthanlime I want this in my shell and my homepage and everywhere. Can I steal your code?

@fasterthanlime hello, I'm a programmer newbie learning rust and trying to buildia project in it. While browsing through lobster, someone recommended your blog and I freaking love the content you've put on there.
So good to see you out here in the wild

@fasterthanlime well a friend owes me 10 bucks.
but in all seriousness, congrats on all that!

@fasterthanlime
Hey Amos! Very exciting news!
Immediately started listening to the podcast via my app of choice and I noticed that the RSS feed only include the little one sentence description of the episode, not the full show notes.
Can you look into that please?
Have a good rest of your week!

@fasterthanlime "most good ideas discovered in the first 20" my dude is winking at the lisp crowd, and I'm HERE for it 😁

@fasterthanlime
Every time a developer says "Zero-cost abstractions", there is a computer somewhere that gets a bit slower.

@fasterthanlime Here in Spain, telegrams disappeared on the 2000s. I remember sending notifications by telegram until late 90s, then discovering a text-certified "burofax" (a document sent to post office, then copied down and faxed to a second post office and sent by a postman to its destination) was cheaper.

@fasterthanlime I've never used #Telegram but I have used #Telex.
I've even worked on it and I can tell you that +80v/-80v across the fingers makes you jump a bit and say rude words. 🙂
#WRU

@fasterthanlime I received a telegram around 1990.

@fasterthanlime beef jerky? Why is beef so mean?

@fasterthanlime do we have to call it beef jerkied now

@fasterthanlime Kagi <3

@fasterthanlime lol, but if you use dura this isn’t terrible advice since you’re constantly making commits in the background https://github.com/tkellogg/dura

@fasterthanlime (•⌓• ;)

@fasterthanlime they must be coming from LakeFS or Nessie

@fasterthanlime lmao

@fasterthanlime@hachyderm.io huh, works for me

also

scratch that, 2023 adds a third mood:

"oh NO, I have to get through an AI chatbot first"

@fasterthanlime I'd love to see more work on humans.txt for websites and also add pronouns there.

@fasterthanlime maybe as extension to IndieAuth or smth?

@fasterthanlime This seems like a good step towards abolishing there being an "in group" at all.

@fasterthanlime I'm bookmarking this because GitHub decided to go down :c

@fasterthanlime thank you, this is an excellent statement

@fasterthanlime Ah, right, because "if only programmers programmed correctly, programs would be correct" has always worked in the past.

Goodness, HN is a website.

interestingly, opensource.apple.com has a bunch of copies of apache, but not nginx (that I can find). Presumably because they don’t redistribute it?

@fasterthanlime Some cats are less comfortable having their lines of sight disrupted while they're toileting.

Depending on your cat's age, there might be joint stiffness (our roommates' cat has severe arthritis and can't always use his litterbox comfortably). But my guess is your floof prefers to just have an eye out on surroundings 🐰

@fasterthanlime Try `cat --show-ends`

@fasterthanlime litterbox is too small
