Where all existing Rust books fall short is that they are not Rust books.
They are books on building software with Cargo framework.
A great "Understanding Rust" book would based only on using rustc for all examples, and in the context of that book e.g. GNU make could be used to orchestrate the builds.
Using Cargo is obviously fine but it is in the way of in-depth understanding of the language.
This also means that I really do not recommend any of the books written about Rust because they are all as useful as the Rust documentation, i.e. not that useful.
#rust #cargo

1. My calendar for 2025.
2. My security tip for 2025: use pen and paper for what it works. That info does not leak. I still plan and draft with a notebook (having a grid) and pencil.

@mtraven23 @thcrt @mallory I would have to study that further to make any conclusions but back when I read that write up in early 00's I did not know even who Joel Spolsky was I just agreed with the text :-)
If I was interpreting it on the basis that the author is also authority you would have a point but based on that it could have been written by anyone and I would still agree with the text, I think the content is still valid, right?

Today I'm going to:
1. Install Windows and wipe my Fedora.
2. Install NVIDIA drivers.
3. Redeem the code for "Indiana Jones: The Great Circle" and check that I get it to Steam.
4. Install Fedora and wipe Windows.
Wondering why FSF had a campaign based on lies about TPM chips, and does not have one on NVIDIA being DRM ;-)

If you've ever wondered how to debug custom targets outside of cargo environment, here's an example of that:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkavm/issues/208#issuecomment-2544941559
I.e. situation where you just want to check what the compiler emits.
#rust #cargo

Not forgotten and not discontinued:
https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback/issues/268#issuecomment-2541605102
Just a slow process and busy at work before holidays ;-)
This is pretty typical for OOT drivers really. Bad architecture choices kind of accumulate because no one dares to make any actual changes to what is already there.
Probably would happen to me too if I was doing OOT so not blaming anyone, just saying how it is ;-)

1. Signal: great for professional communications.
2. WhatsApp: great for being in touch with your mom.
3. Telegram and AWS Wickr: great for criminal activity and dealing drugs.

I wonder does SDL3 have anything like baseview [1] for writing plugin UI's?

Three months in a company after this month. Three PR's in that time. The last one is almost finished: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/6533
Could have performed better but at least all wen right and RISC-V based smart contract moved from PoC to experimental feature in the SDK.
After #6533 next up is to further refine DWARF parser in the PolkaVM.
People have different feelings and thoughts on blockchains but I do enjoy the most is that the whole ecosystem is so unfinished :-) Lot's of cool stuff is still waiting for a trophy collector.

Nice write up about Deluxe Paint:
https://www.datagubbe.se/dpaint/
Also in the later years Deluxe Paint Animation on PC was cool.
