@jorilallo @zeeg It IS a really big car by international standards (but “mid size” by Texas standards.) Also, the XC60 is afaik smaller than the new EX60

[Rasmus Andersson @rsms]

@jorilallo @zeeg So R2 is technically bigger, but in practice they are almost identical. Some European garages will be a challenge for the R2 (wide)

[Rasmus Andersson @rsms]

@jorilallo @zeeg True! R2 looks bigger to me because it’s so tall

[Rasmus Andersson @rsms]

@zeeg 😄

@zeeg When I hit a curb with my ex30 Volvo sent a flatbed truck right away and repaired it at the Volvo dealer. My only time I’ve needed roadside assistance and it was ace

@zeeg Put in my reservation before you (early Aug 2025)
@Rivian what’s going on here?!

[Rasmus Andersson @rsms]

@zeeg 🤷

[Rasmus Andersson @rsms]

@zeeg How?! I’ve been on the waiting list since the dawn of the waiting list. Got an in at Rivian? R2 seems like the perfect big family car. Me want ug

[Rasmus Andersson @rsms]

@zeeg Hm, this is an R1 pictured. What am I missing..?

Is this a crazy github bug or just really bad UI?
While debugging why codex can no longer access my github repos, I checked these "Authorized GitHub Apps" pages and see that it says "[…] installed on 2 accounts you have access […] {name of other person's account}"

The other people's accounts are both of people I know, so this might be some really strange situation of them adding me to one of their repos or something. Anyhow, v sus

@joelreymont And I assume you’ve read @danluu’s take https://t.co/XmGJZq0qCb

Rust obviously works great with agents because they have intense pre and post training on it. I’ve heard token encoding even has dedicated tokens for some commonly-occurring syntax sequences.

Anyhow, compiling Rust is quite slow, especially if you use 3rd-party libraries. It’s sometimes worse than C++

If you use a lot of 3rd-party libraries and/or work with many worktrees, sccache can make a big difference (it has for me.)

Linking can still be brutally slow. Perhaps @rui314’s mold could help here

If you use macOS you’ll be paying for first launch of newly-built executables because “gatekeeper” will have to check with Apple’s servers before the OS can start your program. If have lots of tests, put them all into one executable.

With C, I can get edit-run cycle down to ~500ms with ThinLTO and 3rd party libs in a dylib (during dev; statically link for release.)

What other tricks are there for improving the edit-run iteration cycle?

[Rasmus Andersson @rsms]

@joelreymont Did you consider ocaml?

@gingerbeardman iPhone duo + portals + magical book

there’s something there. Maybe the velocity of “the closing of the book” catapults things across from one page to another or something.

New hardware interactions usually pave way for new possibilities of experience

[Rasmus Andersson @rsms]

@ManuelBichler Tell me more. Do you use it only for debug builds? Does it still use llvm for linking (if not, how good is the linker)?

[Rasmus Andersson @rsms]

@joelreymont That’s rad! Forth is cool

[Rasmus Andersson @rsms]

@joulee @Meta What a journey! Congrats to y’all

@prestonpalmo @lennysan This

[Rasmus Andersson @rsms]

@meaghaneschoi @aaandeverything @khalilcader @daniel__designs Ah. I really like this one. It’s very similar to what we aaaalmost used for “Library” in Figma
