cargo build looks simple. But under the hood? It’s a maze of compiler stages, optimizations, and decisions. At #EuroRust25, @noratrieb will break it down. From rustc to LLVM to linking and all the steps in between. 🧵1/3

@MasterMind6567 @LukeDashjr @elonmusk I work on Rust and can definitely confirm the language is very woke. You definitely shouldn't use it, use C++ instead, it's a much better fit for you.

@LukeDashjr @elonmusk How is Rust woke? It's a programming language.

All new XChat is rolling out with encryption, vanishing messages and the ability to send any kind of file. Also, audio/video calling. This is built on Rust with (Bitcoin style) encryption, whole new architecture.

@AstraKernel @Wellthisisawkw6 @octavianslash @rustlang as for "language account", do you know what a programming language is? it's the creation of many people. and these people have values and identity. one that, for rust, stands in very large contrast to the values of this hot trash fire social media, and that's why it's moving off.

@AstraKernel @Wellthisisawkw6 @octavianslash @rustlang that's surprisingly not how being a nazi works. if you nuke all nazis, it doesn't make you a nazi, it makes you an anti-nazi. like how being against fascist is something *anti*fascists do, and they aren't fascists. that's not how that works.

You can now find us on both M​ast​o​don and Bl​ue​sk​y. Follow us there! We will no longer be active on this website.

@AstraKernel @Wellthisisawkw6 @octavianslash @rustlang the one that nukes nazis, it's VERY missing.

@Wellthisisawkw6 @octavianslash @rustlang What kind of moderation is missing in X? It has enough for a lang account

@rustlang cool :3. there's no place for a good programming language in nazi land

What did I do in rustc in November? @compiler-errors/errs-november" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hackmd.io/@compiler-erro…

@HSVSphere @99imrn well, of course Rust has an easy time when libc does all the hard work for it :)

@99imrn literally. HOW do you manage to do that much? literally Rust itself (excluding libc syscalls) does a single digit number (and they're working on reducing that). it's crazy

A C program with an empty main does 834 syscalls (on my platform). A Zig program with an empty main does 3.

@littmath i don't know, have you observed all the monkeys?

disproving the infinite monkeys theorem by observing that there are in fact only finitely many monkeys

@alilleybrinker @seanbax And other languages are then inclined to go "adding good interop with C++ would require putting do many of C++'s idiosyncratic rules into our language... let's NOT!"

Now I'm trying to write a paper explaining why no languages have adequate C++ interop. C++ has had three decades to address this and hasn't.

"Mundane Halloween" returns! It's that time of year again, when Japanese website @dailyportalz holds its annual contest to dress up as something super ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2024 contest!

@cnakazawa @awesomekling The real money left on the table is for not selling user data to advertisers. that's 💰💰💰💰💰💰

@awesomekling You are leaving so much money on the table by not charging for your browser! The money on the table:

Thankful we don’t have to answer to VCs with @ladybirdbrowser. Nothing against venture capital or making money, but IMO the world needs at least one browser without someone looking for their ROI. 🤓

@Veykril @m_ou_se heh, that is a very nice change.

One of the biggest Rust releases in a long time! What's your favourite new feature?

@NirBM2 @jfbastien and at most :)

@jfbastien Also acknowledge that Int is at least 4 bytes

Proposing that C++ acknowledge that there are exactly 8 bits in a byte. I’d love feedback, especially from embedded / DSP folks who think this is a terrible idea. isocpp.org/files/papers/P…

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI). I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right. Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird. I open my original photo. No bra showing. I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF... Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨 Immediately, I email the conference host. (FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.) He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue. He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website. She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller. AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯 — FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.

@QuinnyPig no one was using the Azure console to edit resources at my previous job because they didn't have permissions :3. only terraform did (and a few admins)

ClickOps is in your org, whether you know it or not.

@TheMagicPants @fasterthanlime at least you don't work on the belgian government service gateway csam.be/en/index.html

@PredragGruevski when docs change you can never know if it's a semver break or not, yeah. that's true in general though. maybe a warning would be appropriate for added union fields, but i definitely wouldn't call it a major change in general.

@noratrieb I agree. But when a new field is added, the docs may have to change as a result. I'm not clear on whether that change is guaranteed to be compatible with the last version (or even can be in all cases), right? The issue is across versions specifically, not in any given version.

Discovered a new #rustlang SemVer edge case today 🦀 Adding fields to a `pub union` can be a vicious breaking change. It can quietly cause UB in code that used to be fine before you ran `cargo update`: github.com/obi1kenobi/car…
