Rust’s proc macros are powerful but tricky, and have some compile-time costs. This post is about a new tool to help quantify and reduce some of those costs.

@Mendi_Tech I wish I had taken notes but I was waiting for my turn to present so I couldn't. There was a company building an affordable Braille display; I don't recall the name of the company and it sounds like the product isn't finished.
@DavidGoldfield It looks like your instance and the A T Guys instance hate each other, but thanks. You as well. BTBraille will be interesting if priced right.
Sent a pull request to Audacity fixing a crash bug I'd been running into frequently. The cause was an out-of-bounds memmove. Classic C++ areas.
Anyway I got a fucking copilot review on my PR which left two comments, both completely wrong, one of which suggesting I reintroduce the out of bounds memory access. I'm furious!
You know back in my day, we had static analysis tooling that would give you exactly this kind of feedback, except it was correct. Now we have shit which only looks at the vibes of the source text and does no semantic analysis whatsoever, so of course it's just fucking wrong
I spent a couple of hours yesterday getting Audacity building, reproducing and diagnosing the bug, and wrapping my head around the complex logic in this part of the code so that I could implement a correct fix. To have copilot review my work, which I contributed back for free, is just so incredibly disrespectful to my time and effort.
If so, I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I love #linux and always have. I have literally made my career with it ever since I first booted the H.J. Lu boot/root floppy set on my 486 DX2/66, but I'm partially #blind, and my vision is getting worse as I age.
And at times the amount of negativity and crap I get when I say that I generally run #WSL on Windows or a Mac? It's huge, pointless, and speaks to some ways in which parts of the Linux community are its own worst enemy.
When screen zoom broke for 2 years in #ubuntu and many of us kept signposting how important this is to us, over and over, and one of the Canonical engineers wrote in the issue saying that, due simply to the very limited number of engineering hours available, this was a low priority fix? That was a wake up call for me.
There's no malice there. It's not that anyone in the Linux community is doing an evil laugh and thrilling to the number of disabled users who can't reliably enjoy Linux on the desktop, it's about the reality that a tiny, rag tag group of engineers working for a handful of companies are doing the vast majority of the work keeping the Linux desktop world moving, and they BARELY have the bandwidth to keep development going at all much less catering to the myriad accessibility needs folks like us (Not comparing the nature of our didabilities, mind you. Everyone's different!).
But people like the guy your post responds to can make us feel not smart enough, not good enough, or not motivated enough to thrive in an environment that throws up HUGE obstacles, and that's just not right.
Pardon the length, I have Strong Feelings about this stuff as you can see, and thanks again for posting!

Mark Zuckerberg went to Svalbard on his massive superyacht that spews more greenhouse gases in a day than most people do in a year. He got a cold reception.
The Washington Post is doing a MUCH better job than the NYTimes on framing and headlining RFKJ stories. Compare this WaPo hed & dek to the NYT's "RFK Jr. Accuses Gavi, Global Vaccine Agency, of Ignoring Science." There's only one side ignoring science & it is this sociopath who is killing children. RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ua7v7…
Even NPR blew it with its headline: "RFK Jr. says U.S. will stop funding global vaccine group over 'vaccine safety' issues" because those scare quotes are not enough to say that there is absolutely no substance to his made-up grifter conspiracy theory
