Super cool project from a team I've been moonlighting on! Dev sdk with build, ide, and console integration for Raspberry pi

[Google Open Source @GoogleOSS]

👋 Meet the first developer preview of the Pigweed SDK.

We're making it even easier to leverage Pigweed’s libraries to develop, debug, test, and deploy embedded C++ applications.

Get started with these sample apps and a comprehensive tutorial → https://t.co/TExM5F52mY

It's great to see the growth in absolute numbers, too, from 2M in Q1 2022 to 4M in Q1 2024! Catching up with some of the older languages:

"While Swift is continuing to grow, we would expect Rust to be a larger language within the next year if both continue their current growth"

Rust front-end will get a nice speed-up with parallelization!

Congrats to people who made it!

I somehow missed that gdb is c++ now so we have this glorious abomination of .c files being hella c with lil bits of STL in the mix just for funsies.

@whimboo 3/4 is pretty good! Last time I tried automating Safari everything just crashed so this seems like status quo

Showing end users per tab memory usage stats is just going to make everyone unhappy. Browser devs don't even know what they mean.

[apenwarr @apenwarr]

Neat! Thanks to Chrome's new memory usage indicator, I now know that websites are not even close to the primary parties responsible for memory waste.

This page is basically a lightly-formatted short text file that somehow costs 37MB.

@whimboo Eerie timing! Seems like it's still early days for multi tab https://t.co/SBFa5Scpi1

[Firefox DevTools @FirefoxDevTools]

🦊🚀 #Firefox 118 introduces WebDriver BiDi enhancements, now handling user prompts and tab/window activation seamlessly. Explore more: https://t.co/vKTteuNtd1 #webtesting

[Eric Rahm @eroc]

@whimboo Do Fx, Cr, Edge, and Safari all implement multi tab support and actually work or did everyone just over?

[Eric Rahm @eroc]

@rocallahan Not sure if I've seen riscv64 variants yet

[Dave Burke @davey_burke]

Some epic engineering work to make the Android Java/Kotlin runtime updatable via Google Play system updates. Enabled us to improve app startup on old versions of Android by up to 30%. Great example of the power of modular OS system components

@hikari_no_yume @TedMielczarek NaCl also died an unceremonious death, it's just fundamentally hard to shoehorn into modern standards

Wait nacl got EOL'd this year?

Super interesting project that I got to target a few jobs ago in gaming, but also good riddance. For some reason I thought pdfium still needed it and I guess I was wrong!

https://t.co/32sLVRXTtj

[Eric Rahm @eroc]

@dietrich Sure, I'll take one 😊

[Eric Rahm @eroc]

@jpomonkey wtf that's nuts

[Eric Rahm @eroc]

@jpomonkey Is friends of trees an option?

Exciting comments on @rustlang in Windows from MSFT, starting at 42:39 - https://t.co/e9PRZ66wxN From the Android side, I'd agree about the necessity but also limitations of detection-based approaches to security and excitement for memory safe languages https://t.co/huILowhvBy

Paid to ship my car from Maui to Seattle a while back, went to drop off at the arranged time and they told us "barge left sorry, plz leave" so we were like next barge plz and they were like "we don't ship there anymore" and so I gave up and sold our car.

Maui's beautiful but jfc

Looks like I will be talking at FOSDEM this week end about one of my hobby - Reimplementing the Coreutils in Rust:

Sunday morning!

Found myself typing Arc<Mutex<Box<RequestInfo>>> in anger today and I guess I'm a true rust developer now
