fyrn_··on GitHub shouldn't be a dependency for publishing Rust on crates.io
In practice, Go is much, much more github dependent than rust, most go packages are on github
fyrn_··on Ported my C game to WASM, here's every bug that I hit
More of a helix user these days. I will look into it though.

Thanks for sokol btw, we use it at work for some things. Mainly gfx and the dds encoder

fyrn_··on U.S. science is in chaos
So what, you think no one should study the conditions that lead to the rise of fascism? Kind of a wild take in today's world
fyrn_··on Ported my C game to WASM, here's every bug that I hit
You can get real breakpoints, memory watching, etc in browser with the chrome debugging extension
fyrn_··on The tanks in Cushing, Oklahoma, are hitting bottom
That's not going to help, price spikes are locked in at this point, even if we got a deal this minute. It would be marginaly better simply because it would improve sentiment.
fyrn_··on The Road to the WASM Component Model 1.0
Please please please bring it to the browser. I'm so done with the terrible ergonomics of everything at the was bounary having to pretend it's JavaScript
fyrn_··on Who Runs Your Rust Future? Hands-On Intro to Async Rust
Yeah, it also makes it seem like Rust is weird for using Future as the type name, but actually JavaScript (Promise) is the odd one out here. Probably a JS dev learning Rust without much exposure to other languages
fyrn_··on Vibe coding my way to a healthy family: Introducing Gamow Labs
The valley is extremely anti natal, it shows up in large scale demographic data very clearly, just check the census
fyrn_··on Leak Reveals Microsoft Wants Its AI to Be 'Addictive'
The author is his vice president of Microsoft Scout, "with AI assistance, but fully reviewed" as has been reported elsewhere.

He's blatantly pretending not to know

fyrn_··on Can we have the day off?
Shareholders = society. The rest of us are just the help
fyrn_··on Why Japanese companies do so many different things
> Thinking about your primary job: On average, how many hours do you work per week?

Not really sure they are measuring what they think they are measuring. This being more pronounced amongst young people may be because working long is being seen as less and less cool, as there has been a major vibe shift among young workers regarding their relationships with employers. Doesn't necessarily mean they are actually working less, might mean they don't want to admit it.

Revealed concrete hours would be much more trustworthy

fyrn_··on Why Japanese companies do so many different things
Also due to tax structures changing in ways the discouraged long term r&d for existing companies. Largely replaced with a university driven model today, or hyped based fake it till you make it startup investment
fyrn_··on Why Japanese companies do so many different things
Although from the perspective of most of the world, the US is also very work oriented. We also work some of the longest hours
fyrn_··on Bun Rust rewrite: "codebase fails basic miri checks, allows for UB in safe rust"
It's inability to be compiled from source without a fork of the zig compiler made it unusable in many corporate environments that require deps all be from source as well (or very hard to integrate at least)
fyrn_··on A 0-click exploit chain for the Pixel 10
Isn't it often combined with poor bounds checks to be exploitable? It's not as if rust or VM based languages don't help a lot with this
fyrn_··on Operation: Epic Furious
Can't rock the boat too much, when the captain has a lot of money
fyrn_··on GitLab announces workforce reduction and end of their CREDIT values
Yeah, I had thought so as well. Lots of big Linux projects use them. Very brand damaging post in my opinion
fyrn_··on Maryland citizens hit with $2B power grid upgrade for out-of-state AI
They can be efficient, but I ly if the incentives align towards the desired definition of efficiency. If you give a company a natural monopoly and protection from competition. Then it's most efficient way to make money is just to raise rates
fyrn_··on Show HN: Countries where you can leave your MacBook at a random coffee shop
"Verification not ready, try again"
fyrn_··on OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft Back Bill to Fund 'AI Literacy' in Schools
I'd back a bill to ban AI from scholls in many contexts, just like phones I think it's pretty obvious what the result will be.

I guess like with phones we'll all have to pretend it's not obvious for ten years until we have overwhelming scientific evidence, then wait another ten for US policy makers to start talking about making a committee to design a study to develop a plan

fyrn_··on Noctua releases official 3D CAD models for its cooling fans
I believe the tolerances to the fan housing (which reduces turbulence and thus noise), and the the material stiffness needed for that small tolerance, are the alleged reason there are few copycats. Supposedly getting plastic that rigid is hard. I've tried to find hard numbers and validate that claim, but I wasn't able to. Would probably have to measure an actual noctua fan blade to know. On the other hand, metal printing is attainable now..
fyrn_··on Alberta startup sells no-tech tractors for half price

fyrn_··on Graphs that explain the state of AI in 2026
Worth calling out AI sentiment among young people is not nearly so rosy: https://news.gallup.com/poll/708224/gen-adoption-steady-skep...
fyrn_··on Hyperscalers have already outspent most famous US megaprojects
I think the bet is more labor replacement, not saying that's particularly reasonable either
fyrn_··on 288,493 Requests – How I Spotted an XML-RPC Brute Force from a Weird Cache Ratio
The value of writing is found in the density of information and something harder to define, something like 'art' or 'humanity'. This post did not have a good ratio of words to those quantities
fyrn_··on High-Level Rust: Getting 80% of the Benefits with 20% of the Pain
Pretty sure by devx they mean something like syntax ergonomics. Because otherwise rust's devx first class (cargo, clippy, crates.io) so kind of a nonstandard definition.

I think it's fair to say Java's "syntax ergonomics" are a little below the rest / somewhat manual like rust or C++ by default.

fyrn_··on High-Level Rust: Getting 80% of the Benefits with 20% of the Pain
Based on your description, I think a good library for data structures that are intended to be used immutably would help with some pain points. Something with copy on write support or something like that. It's a powerful style, used it in haskell and it prevents a large class of bugs, almost down to just business logic bugs, which is what you want.

I like the style you're describing, thanks for sharing.

fyrn_··on Show HN: I built a Cargo-like build tool for C/C++
This various a lot between compilers. Clang for example treats O3 perf regressions a bugs In many cases at least) and is a bit more reasonable with O3 on. GCC goes full mad max and you don't know what it's going to do.
fyrn_··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
He's been impeached by the _house_ not by the Senate. The US Senate is extremely complicit with the administration. Something the founders did not intend
fyrn_··on Subscription bombing and how to mitigate it
The attack doesn't work on hey mail, since new senders have to be accepted before they go the inbox. Presumably Google or whatever is already whitelisted and just goes through
