They want to privatize profits and socialize losses. Typical.

I am looking for a job starting May 2026. I am an expert in SIMD programming, in particular for non-numeric applications such as text processing or database programming. Please have a look at my website for the sort of work I do. I am located in Berlin, Germany.

Freaking out over this is so weird to me.
Debian's APT Will Soon Begin Requiring Rust: Debian Ports Need To Adapt Or Be Sunset Starting next year APT will have a hard requirement on Rust support, thus making Rust necessary for Debian Linux use. phoronix.com/news/Debian-APT…

I was curious whether compilers would convert a naive loop implementation of "set range of bits in u64 to 1" into O(1) bitwise ops. Answer: MSVC compiles the loop into a loop. Clang's output is bonkers: 418 bytes long, branches everywhere, 256-bit SIMD operations get involved?!
Wait, so there's now something called DevSecOps? I still don't know what DevOps is. 😭
Why do the C and Rust communities insist on non-stop flame wars. C is the greatest language of all time and Rust is awesome. Stop slap fighting and focus on destroying C++ 😅
This is what Rust Zealots Actually Believe

+1000. How do you determine what country someone is based in? Curious about how it works under the hood.

Calling it now: There will be no consequences for the creators of the AI bubble that is about to take down the US economy. The main culprits will be made whole by the taxpayer, and the gullible fools in media who promoted the bogus tech will remain in cushy positions of influence

io_uring completely rewrote the assumptions of I/O as a syscall. It's an incredible development that's catching on quickly in distributed systems everywhere. Read this article on Systems Saturday! 🔗 Link in reply!
I've got 99 problems and #cmake is definitely one.

IDK how to feel about this. A PR from a 🤖. We're all John Henry now.

Another example of Sonnet 4.5 just feeling genuinely less cringe to talk with.
