I've just discovered repo.rs/[crate-name] to redirect fast to crate repositories. I've long used crates.io/crates/[crate-name]/repo, which honestly I don't even know why it exists.

Really nice ~3x performance improvement for String::push - and String::insert technically - when char::len_utf8 > 1 and the len is unknown at compiletime, all by avoiding memcpy. github.com/rust-lang/ru...

The tariffs have just led an innovative U.S. company to scale back sales of its own goods in its home market. Who does this help? What sort of “medicine” is this?

The Rust 2024 drop order change warnings look like an idea for a diagnostic, which I saw in rust-lang/rust some time ago, that didn't end-up being implemented/merged. Anyway one of the bigger occurrences printed 461 lines of warnings all by itself. It so beautiful and incredibly readable 💯

Haha! Not sure if I'd agree on 'expert' (though dressing up as a bird on an international flight maybe qualifies me?)? Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pz2...
