My company, @pneumasolutions, is looking for a developer to work for us on a contract basis, to enhance the screen capture and mouse input implementations in our remote desktop product (pneumasolutions.com/products/r…). This project will involve #rust, #webrtc, native Windows and macOS APIs, and integration with an existing Electron app. A more detailed high-level spec is available to qualified candidates. Please email employment@pneumasolutions.com if you're interested and available.


Sudo rewrite sudo in #rust - just received this postcard at #FOSDEM.




Playing around with Cairo, using the Rust bindings! I don't have any practical ideas to utilize what I'm learning yet, but it's fun to experiment with nonetheless ✏️

#GNOME #GTK #Cairo #Rust #Graphics


My reaction when I discover a meson.build script running "cargo build" in the repository of the first example program I opened from the ones listed on the gtk-rs documentation page.

Is this common in the rust world when interacting with primarily C based libraries?

#Hugo's slogan of being "The world’s fastest framework for building websites" is a shameless lie.

It has been raised up 3 times on Github with benchmarks showing that other full-featured static site generators like #Zola (#Rust) are faster, sometimes by 10x. Each time, the issue is closed and locked.

I migrated a couple of websites from Hugo to Zola and won't look back.

Feel free to ping me if you need any help with Zola 🥰

Any #rust developers on #windows interested in a working on #network and #dns code? It’s OSS, this would be if you had a hobby interest or need this software at your work. We’ve had this long standing issue in Hickory Resolver, a big performance issue in the Windows implementation: github.com/hickory-dns/hickory…


I came across a blog from a 2 years ago that compared different implementations of dot product. It had a couple interesting points. The cost of functional programming in #Swift was huge (31x on M1 and 198x on x86). I did an equivalent test in #Rust and the cost was 1x (on M2). That lets programmers use the high level abstractions without dreading the performance costs.

Rust:
left.iter().zip(right.iter())
.map(|(&l, &r)| l * r )
.sum::<f64>()

A while back I posted to announce we were enabling the use of #rust as a development language within @thunderbird

Pleased to say that we've now landed support, and as of today it's possible to write new libraries and xpcom components using #rustlang, as part of the libxul build!

hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/re…

Don't worry, we're not about to "RIIR" - this is enabling new code next year to supercharge the backend architecture for your favourite mail client.

En estos días fríos y un poco depresivos me ha dado por aprender #rust #rustlang y me está encantando, no solo por el lenguaje en sí, sino por los maravillosos recursos oficiales de aprendizaje que tienen. Los tres que tienen en su web son muy, muy buenos.

Has been released Lapce v0.3.0 🎉

Lapce (IPA: /læps/) is a modern Open Source, Lightning-fast, and Powerful code editor, written in pure Rust with a UI in Floem. 🦀

Last week I presented my paper at SecDev on the impact #Rust has vs. #C++ on the probability of a vulnerability being introduced by a first-time contributor to a project—and therefore, how easy it is for newbies to get contributions merged. The full paper is available here:

cypherpunks.ca/~iang/pubs/grad…

but the tl;dr is: Rust significantly lowered the number of vulnerabilities introduced, especially from new contributors, and increased the quantity of new contributors to projects.

Oort seems like a pretty fun Rust programming game. The idea is that you get to program ships to engage in space combat. Similar to other games such as Space Traders.

The idea is pretty cool, but it uses a web editor to input the code and it is not accessible, so I can't use it. Pity.

Quick screenshot of a #thunderbird experiment I'm hacking on, something of a side-project for me.

Shown here, a replacement of the C++ based main entry (nsMailApp.cpp) with a prototype entry written in #rust

I'm looking for a new job, or contract work, for the first time in a while - boosts appreciated!

I'm a polyglot programmer, with a wide range of experience behind me, from developing firmware that runs on 8-bit AVR, to highly distributed systems across hundreds of nodes, I covered pretty much the whole landscape.

I had my fair share of Ops experience too, and worked in (technical) Customer Service aswell.

I speak many languages (#C, #Rust, #Lua, #Python, #JavaScript, some #Go among them), but I pride myself in being able to pick up a new language at a decent level between signing a contract and starting on the job.

I'm a #Linux guy through and through, and have very little experience (or desire) to work with anything else, save maybe for the BSDs. I worked with containers, databases (relational and otherwise); in the cloud and on premises. I can debug, I can mentor, I can teach, and build, and integrate (continuously, even!). I'm not afraid of git rebase, nor of a crowd to speak in front of.

I live in Hungary, and am seeking remote work. I cannot relocate.

If you are someone looking for something like that, or know someone who is, please get in touch. My CV - with contacts - is available here.

From one of our wonderful translators: "I wanted to thank all developers of Deltachat for making such an incredible and simple multi-device supporting app! (Yes, I spent 2 days fresh-installing my double-booted main PC, so I really love all the time the multi-device backup option saved me!) You rock! 🤩" .... Shout out to our friends at n0.computer/ who just published hole punch support github.com/n0-computer/iroh/re… .... The lib we use for multi device setup in #deltachat #rust core


What good is a queue you can't call "push" on, or a mutex you can't "lock?"

It turns out that some common API patterns are bug generators in async Rust code. In the 0.3 release series, I've taken a pass over the OS APIs in lilos (my async embedded OS ) and tried to make the whole OS strictly cancel-safe.

As a side effect, I replaced both "push" and "lock" with subtly different operations that are much harder to use incorrectly. Details in my latest post:

Are you interested in working on GNOME, writing Rust apps, or working with Fonts? If so, you may be interested in taking a look at gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-f… :)

This port may take a while, and I greatly appreciate any help available. I've laid out a list of tasks to be done before merging, and if anyone wants to take something on let me know and we can work together.

If you want to help with the effort, please join #fonts:gnome.org on Matrix :) (matrix.to/#/#fonts:gnome.org)
