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.

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
Missed the talk? It's now a blog post!

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!

✅ Fact Check
No, Henry II Did Not Call For the Murder of Thomas à Becket
🛑 False
Henry II did say “Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?”

Rust doesn't just support memory safety, it also supports "X-safety".
Join Joshua Liebow-Feeser at #rustconf24 for "Safety in an Unsafe World" to explore how this technique can be used to defend against a number of bugs and vulnerabilities.

New blog post! Why `repr(C)` isn't the portability panacea you might think it is: jack.wrenn.fyi/blog/repr-c-l…
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.

“The youth are spoiled!”, claims person who also believes our transit infrastructure should only accommodate people piloting an air conditioned living-room-on-wheels.
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! 😁
So does this livery imply the existence of @Amtrak outside America!??
