everyone is trying to come up with a copy of twitter when we actually want a copy of 2007-2012 niche hobby blogs with a Google RSS reader that aggregated them into one feed

@steveklabnik imo, in a language like Rust, async functions *should* be "colored", because they are fundamentally completely different from normal functions!

I _really_ want something that combines Notebook style computing with Google Docs/Quip style commenting/suggestions/etc. I want to be able to mix computation, analysis, and narrative frequently (especially in design docs), but online docs interactivity has become tablestakes.

Thank you, @profgalloway!! Keep hearing people say how unusual it is for a tech CEO to call for regulation--but it's not, it's a standard tactic to stifle competition (build moats) and eschew responsibility for harms their products cause ("not our fault, we followed the regs").

@Withoutboats I feel like a language with garbage collection, ADTs, generics, Rust traits/simpler Haskell typeclasses, and a C-ish syntax should be popular. Does that not exist or is there one that just hasn't caught on?

Computers exist to serve us, not the other way around. If it is not fast and reliable then it is wrong!

Devs have hated AMP for a while, a combination of the UX being annoying and, in many cases, memories of when another tech giant tried to co-opt the web to suit their own corporate goals:

I love TWiR's quote of the week this week: "Just because Rust allows you to write super cool non-allocating zero-copy algorithms safely, doesn’t mean every algorithm you write should be super cool, zero-copy and non-allocating." This resonates with me in @rustlang lately. 🧵

Quick post on how to setup #rustlang integration tests in a way that's perhaps a bit more intuitive for running and segmenting them from unit tests joshleeb.com/blog/rust-inte…
