nowadays we think too much about scaling, security, automating operations and so on that we either launch too late or let ideas die half baked.

DNS started as a text file on Jon’s computer. To register a new domain you would email Jon.

Nervously excited that we have more current openings than we have ever had before at @oxide.computer

i’m having a hard time compiling no_std crates. the docs are a maze and i can’t quite fit the pieces together. linking is such a complicated subject. my goal is to ultimately compile a no_std binary without cargo, but i’m still fighting with cargo.

it’s a new week, let’s do do some awesome work. have a great week everyone.

As I'm digging deep to the lower levels, it is incredible to to think that I can be on a site like Bluesky, write some text, send it to the Internet, someone on the other end of the world is able to read and interact with me. Computers are really incredible. I'm filled with gratitude.

as i’m reading older release notes starting from 1.0.0 release blogposts, i found this gem. i didn’t know it was like this before, but i’m happy we ended up with usize and usize. github.com/rust-lang/rf...

i’m going to try to only use software i built locally for a month and see how that unfolds

this is the 4th time I have tried to install Debian and it keeps failing me. everything seemed fine until I rebooted and a black screen hit me after the log in

i’m here listening to Outliers by Malcolm Gladwel, and the only thing part one is doing is suggesting that success depends mostly on things you can’t control, like when you are born.

Rust 1.86.0 has been released! ✨🎊 🦀 This release adds trait upcasting, get_disjoint_mut on slices and hashmaps, #​[target_feature] for safe functions, debug assertions for null pointers, Vec::pop_if and more! Check out the blog post and release notes for details: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/04/03/R...

i’m probably feeling like i’m at the lowest point of my career. at this point i’m dragging myself to work. i think it’s time to find something i believe in again.

going from noob to expert in a field is one of the highest highs of human experience. going from what that hell is this even, to actually reasoning and dissecting complex things in that field is amazing

what a beautiful doc

I finished reading my first book of the year. hurray

I don't know how to feel about good books that do not have a reference section dedicated to citing sources of information they are presenting. you talk about papers in your book, but you don't reference them properly?

books are such an invaluable resource for humanity. reading books inspires me to write my own thoughts down as well, as I know that they might be useful for someone some day.

CPUs are so cool

i have yet to find time to play with nix

this year I want to have fun with technology, regardless of my professional goals

programming is fun

can you imagine if humanity forgot how to make chips? we would go back to the stone age in no time.

i’m noticing that my writing is not that sharp. i use too many words to convey simple ideas, but i’m planing on writing even more to overcome that.

now that i’m down deep in the lower levels, i’m starting to understand what reliability in software means. doctors might misdiagnose someone due to faulty software, your emergency call might fail, your airplane might fall. we need to be more strict about the quality of the software we deliver.

Computers are amazing beasts

Rust affects the way we think about to programming and that’s beautiful in itself. I was forced to think about things I would otherwise dismiss. "A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing." - Alan Perlis
