🇩🇪 Danke für euren Input zu meiner geplanten Anfrage an die EU-Kommission, warum sie bei ihrer Kommunikation das #Fediverse ignoriert und damit Monopole verfestigt. Hier der aktuelle Entwurf und die Möglichkeit mitzuarbeiten: https://codeberg.org/etienne/eu-fediverse/src/branch/main/letter.md
🇬🇧 Thank you for your feedback regarding my draft question to the EU Commission on why it ignores the #Fediverse in its public communications and thus supports tech monopolies. Current draft: https://codeberg.org/etienne/eu-fediverse/src/branch/main/letter.md

Mögt ihr Zahlen? Wir schon!
Deswegen haben wir aus den Einreichungen zu unserer 9. Förderrunde mal wieder die spannendsten für euch rausgesucht: https://prototypefund.de/zahlen-runde-9/

"You're Allowed To Write Slow #Rust Code"
https://blog.jonstodle.com/youre-allowed-to-write-slow-rust-code/

wow: #curl is moving to a RustTLS backend – initially opt-in, but the plan is to make it the default eventually. https://www.abetterinternet.org/post/memory-safe-curl/

I did *not* see that coming. I thought we might one day get a #rust alternative to curl, but curl itself embracing Rust is quite the vote of confidence.

(imo, more meaningful that FAANG's recent/continuing rust love)

I've just stumbled across #LowLevelAcademy and #lowlvl.org.😍
They provide free courses for low-level programming in #Rust, which you can do entirely in the browser. How cool is that!?
It is mainly focused on #networking. Their first #course is already available and they seem to plan a lot more.🎉

Check it out here:
https://lowlvl.org/

Low-Level Academy has been founded by Nikita and Andrey Baksalyar:

#rust really taught me to think outside the box in a lot of scenarios. Simply knowing how the language handles data makes me a better programmer over all. I can highly recommend it, even if you're not a close-to-the-metal developer.

@fikran
I think this can't be coincidence🤯 :
@cadey has just released a really good blogpost comparing simple concepts between #Rust and #golang. Maybe it can help you by seeing Rust and Go side-by-side:

Please don't give up on Rust. It is a beautiful language. You won't regret it, I promise.🦀

What killed Haskell, could kill Rust, too

Time for another stream! In tomorrow's Crust of Rust we'll cover a simplified version of #rustlang's mpsc channel type, plus some discussion of other channel implementations. The stream will be on YouTube and Twitch at 8:30p UTC as usual (https://everytimezone.com/s/076c2397). See y'all there!

Hi folks! My (first?) thesis stream is now up! We talked through my thesis at a high level, and then walked through the current draft of the evaluation chapter. Along the way, I also did Q&A about PhDs and thesis writing. Hopefully it's interesting :)

There seems to be a decent amount of interest in https://fosstodon.org/web/statuses/104563514764595789, so let's dig into my PhD thesis evaluation on Saturday at 5:30pm UTC (https://everytimezone.com/s/d88b7a8c). I'll be focusing on the research/academic aspects of the work, not the Rust parts this time :) Bring questions if you have any! As always, I'll be live on https://twitch.tv/jonhoo and https://youtube.com/c/JonGjengset/live, and the recorded stream will be uploaded to YouTube afterwards.
