Just as Rust’s borrow checker is the tooling that supports the idiom of ownership and aliasing-xor-mutability, the sum of Rust’s safety tooling — a basket of keywords, well-formedness checks, and lints — is, too, the expression of a deeper idiom. jack.wrenn.fyi/blog/safety-h…

You can just do things! In grad school, i organized a field trip to the local nuclear reactor just for me and my friends!
Replying to @Willob
the tours should be correlated with brain size the kids can have stop signs, sidewalks, other boring stuff teenagers can be shown a medium-sized wastewater treatment plant keep the hydroelectric dams, nuclear plants and others for us huge-brained adults

Thrilled to announce I'll be speaking at #RustConf about Rust's advancements in transmutation safety! Safe transmute is already powering next-gen networking stacks, filesystems, and firmwares at AWS, Google, and others. Language-level support will be even more of a game-changer!

problem 4: the US is in desperate need of dense, walkable communities point 5: Navy ships are dense walkable, communities see where I'm going?
problem 1: the US doesn't have the shipbuilding capacity it needs to support a modern navy problem 2: the US is too dependent on fossil fuels and incapable of building civilian nuclear reactors point 3: the navy is allowed to build reactors on ships see where I'm going?

The Providence Preservation Society missed the mark tonight when they called for the expansion of historic districts a matter of "equity" — to do so robs folks of the ability to redevelop their own property. A city is no place for beautiful poverty, frozen in legal amber.

I cannot begin to overstate how much learning to fix bikes changed my relationship to cycling. I used to feel so daunted by breakdowns, and fearful of having a breakdown far from home. Now, I'm confident I can fix almost anything my bike throws at me, and I even relish it! 😁
