#Rust is a simple language with complex semantics, which makes so many blogposts on it suggest the "local maximums" of code quality their authors managed to reach by interacting with rustc.

To avoid such quality problems, as a rust beginner writing blog posts, I also interact with humans whenever I suspect that something I can do can be done in a more concise way.

So grateful for #freenode.

"Chain unwraps and as_objects until it compiles."

Thanks for coming to my lecture on working with serde_json in untyped mode, hope you learned something new today.

#rustlang #rust

Can someone explain this #rustlang mystery:

Serde JSON parallel, no optimisations:

```
$ time cargo run
Compiling rust_shard v0.1.0 (/home/sweater/srht/prismatic-vista/src/rust_shard)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.33s
Running `target/debug/rust_shard`
Untap, upkeep, draw

real 0m45.016s
user 0m45.021s
sys 0m0.134s
```

Serde JSON parallel, optimisations:

```
$ time cargo run --release
Finished release [optimized] target(s) in 0.00s
Running `target/release/rust_shard`
Untap, upkeep, draw

real 0m2.731s
user 0m2.690s
sys 0m0.040s
```

How is such a speedup possible?

Working with a 196M JSON file.

#JavaScript in a nutshell:

Today I learned that #ShadowWarrior3D, is FOSS for a while.

Yeah...

That casually racist bainchild of that "not-id-software-studio-that-made-that-other-not-Quake-engine".

The worst thing? Probably, after I complete #NoOneLivesForever (which, according to my timeline should be in a couple of years), I'll get to it...

I'm approximately a decade and a half behind on my video games.

Cute.

Which one would you rather read?

One does not simply encode ByteStrings as Base64 strings with Aeson, gotta implement a wrapper, two instances and a test yourself.

#haskell #ux

Beautiful, beautiful work by Manuel, *an interview with a GPT-3 Albert Einstein*:

In this day and age, dilligent org-modding is a way to an illusion of immortality, I guess.

Is it a fail though if it's made to always fail? 🤔

Honestly, #haskell tooling is such a joke.

It didn't occur to me that I can use a mobile phone to read #gemini pages.

Here's how my page looks:
