New blog post: I am a Rust compiler engineer looking for a new job
nnethercote.github.io/2025/07/…
Not so happy, this one :(
For the past 3.75 years I have been fortunate to work on Futurewei’s Rust team, where I had enormous freedom to “make Rust better” however I see fit.Nicholas Nethercote

First of all big thanks for #flathub email app
Currently I can't sign in. Here is an error on screenshot, but I have an internet connection for sure.
Any ideas how to debug?

Adobe is now processing all your PDFs in the cloud, by default. The setting to “Enable generative AI features in Acrobat” was on, and I didn’t know it until I opened a document and Adobe asked me if I wanted a document summary. It’s annoying to have to click “No,” so I opened settings to disable the prompt.
THE PROBLEM
I sign Non-Disclosure Agreements for many of my clients. Adobe is a potential leak of protected information. I don’t know what Adobe does with this information. I don’t know what they store, or for how long. I don’t know what country (or countries) the data is stored in. I don’t know what LLMs are trained with this data. And I don’t need to know. What I need to know is that they won’t use default opt-in as a legal excuse to wiretap my information.
I recommend that you check your Adobe settings on all devices, for all Adobe accounts.

Garden joys: my ladybug is back, we chatted! She didn’t have a lot to say. The yellow flower is a real stunner! No idea what it’s called, let’s name it Yellow Flower.
The cardoon is once again 8 feet high and the bees are all over it like jam on toast (that means our hummingbird must be around here somewhere). I walk carefully around the bumblebarrons but they’re so busy rooting around in the big purple thistles that I’m not sure they even register my presence.

This is a thorough article about how dangerous Brightline in Florida is for people crossing the tracks. The line itself is owned by the Florida East Coast Railroad, who has neglected to fence off most of the right of way, grade separate, or make safety improvements to crossings.
Florida has bad pedestrian infrastructure in general, and I’d guess more people are killed on roads in Florida than by trains, but we need more trains, and they should be safe.

Brightline trains have killed 182 people, significantly more than publicly known, an investigation by WLRN and the Miami Herald has found.WLRN
