cargo build looks simple.
But under the hood? It’s a maze of compiler stages, optimizations, and decisions. At #EuroRust25, @noratrieb will break it down. From rustc to LLVM to linking and all the steps in between.

@MasterMind6567@LukeDashjr@elonmusk I work on Rust and can definitely confirm the language is very woke. You definitely shouldn't use it, use C++ instead, it's a much better fit for you.
@AstraKernel@Wellthisisawkw6@octavianslash@rustlang as for "language account", do you know what a programming language is? it's the creation of many people. and these people have values and identity. one that, for rust, stands in very large contrast to the values of this hot trash fire social media, and that's why it's moving off.
@AstraKernel@Wellthisisawkw6@octavianslash@rustlang that's surprisingly not how being a nazi works. if you nuke all nazis, it doesn't make you a nazi, it makes you an anti-nazi. like how being against fascist is something *anti*fascists do, and they aren't fascists. that's not how that works.
@alilleybrinker @seanbax And other languages are then inclined to go "adding good interop with C++ would require putting do many of C++'s idiosyncratic rules into our language... let's NOT!"
"Mundane Halloween" returns!
It's that time of year again, when Japanese website @dailyportalz holds its annual contest to dress up as something super ordinary.
Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2024 contest!
I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI).
I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right.
Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird.
I open my original photo.
No bra showing.
I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF...
Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨
Immediately, I email the conference host.
(FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.)
He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue.
He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website.
She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller.
AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯

FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.
@QuinnyPig no one was using the Azure console to edit resources at my previous job because they didn't have permissions :3. only terraform did (and a few admins)
@PredragGruevski when docs change you can never know if it's a semver break or not, yeah. that's true in general though. maybe a warning would be appropriate for added union fields, but i definitely wouldn't call it a major change in general.
