@grumpyprg @blitzclone I think it's not about writing or not writing tests, but about the philosophy that unit tests should test only a unit, and thus not require sudo.

In Rust `cargo test` runs both unit & integration tests, so I guess that's what contributed to conflate them in this specific case.

[Andreea Florescu @SgAndreea]

@blitzclone Yeah, device emulation is easier to unit test. But people will always chose the path of least resistance. Writing good unit tests is hard, and I don't see a lot of people in our industry being interested in this. So yeah, it is worth it, but it comes with a steep learning curve.

@_oaana_ A healthy country is one where rich people take public transportation because it is the most convenient option. But mentality is hard to change, especially if you were not exposed to something other than your home.

[Andreea Florescu @SgAndreea]

@blitzclone 90% sure the answer is no. Gimme my apostille!!!!

[Andreea Florescu @SgAndreea]

Rust because I am a Rust junky 🥹
And I write code for fun....

But maybe next year finally Haskell? 😬

What language(s?!) will you be practicing with #AdventOfCode this year and why did you pick it?

[Eric Wastl @ericwastl]

T-24 hours until #AdventOfCode 2023!!!

For all craft beer lovers who are also working with arm, how long did it take your brain to adjust to IPA being Intermediate Physical Adress?

You can now use the rust-vmm FDT writer with no_std thanks to a contribution coming from the community 🎊.

It's always nice a couple of lines of code significantly improving the usefulness of a crate.

Thanks @OSTIFofficial and @X41Sec for the security review of rust-vmm!

Setting up the project with security in mind took a significant investment, but we think in the end it paid off. Thanks for recognizing our efforts and writing such kind words ❤️

[OSTIF Official @OSTIFofficial]

No muss no fuss with RustVMM- thanks to the team at @X41Sec, a security audit was undertaken with funding by @awscloud. Just click the link to get the details- https://t.co/NNGOQhBkNW

Yesterday I participated at a career development talk with an inspiring woman. Part of the advice was great, but the other part of it read to me like: be rich, go to Hardvard, hire a house keeper.

Do you know some atypical successful people? I am looking for inspiration.

Bali - the place where I wish the red spots on my body are allergies and not mosquito bites 😅

Story: you just bought premium so you can select by airline and install @flightconnec on your phone, but you receive technology sadness instead.

On x86, the stack grows “down” towards lower addresses. However, this is only true in the northern hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect. In Australia, the stack grows up actually. That’s because they are all looking at their monitors upside down to avoid falling off the planet.

@epetre1 @blitzclone You can ask for a raise, this is not about that. Punishing people for not being able to negotiate their salary is simply NOT OK. Know your privilege, it's not "socially acceptable" for all groups of people to negotiate their salary.

@Ra1t0_Bezar1us @blitzclone Next thing you know we give a talk together about something Rust, VMMs and Nix at Fosdem 2024!?

[Andreea Florescu @SgAndreea]

Omg omg omg, the time has come, I am installing Nix 😱😱

I have resisted this for years now, let's see what the hype is about!

[Andreea Florescu @SgAndreea]

@SamRose Interesting. Why do you think that's the case?

[Andreea Florescu @SgAndreea]

@phip1611 I only refused to look into it because wherever we were going, @blitzclone wouldn't shut up about it. It was sort of the worst kind of a payback.

[Andreea Florescu @SgAndreea]

Not sure if captcha or IQ test by Social Security Spain 😅
