No, it wont. I wasn’t suggesting someone should use rustc directly. You’re already using Rust, so using cargo isn’t adding to the supply chain.
That being said, there was one time I needed to use rustc directly. We had an assignment that needed to be compilable from a single source file. I couldn’t bundle a Cargo.toml, so I gave a build script that used rustc directly.
I don’t see why not. Cargo is fundamentally just a fancy wrapper around rustc, anyway. Sure, it’s a really fancy wrapper that does a lot of stuff but it’s entirely possible to just call rustc yourself.
My favorite kind of graphs are ones where an entire axis is unlabeled:
You see this a lot with marketing graphs. They say nothing, but they’re designed to convince you that the graphs mean something.
Anyway, it’s neat they found and fixed, supposedly, some real bugs. I’m curious how many fake reports they had to sift through to find any real ones.
You can run rustc directly! You just need to pass about 30 different parameters to it as well as a list of all the dependencies you use and…
Look, it works for small projects.
The success rate of main branch builds compounds this further. It has fallen to 70.8%, its lowest in over five years – 30% of attempts to merge code for production are now failing.
…
The integration bottleneck finding is credible. If you’re generating code faster than your team can review and integrate it, that’s a genuine problem this data is consistent with.
I disagree here. If more attempts are failing, then more attempts are needed to merge a branch. If the pipeline is running more and fewer branches are merging, it’s also possible that people need to go through more revisions to merge their code than they needed to before.
People using AI to write their entire PR will find that fixing issues with it takes more work. They often don’t know how the PR works. I wouldn’t be surprised if this resulted in PRs taking longer to merge as a result, which would contradict CircleCI’s claims of teams benefiting from AI.
I believe the report has insufficient data to draw any meaningful conclusions. The data is interesting, at least.
That’s just what we need. More senior tech workers out of work in Austin.
Hey, we have a ton of those here in Washington too! Maybe if someone finds a way for AI to actually be a productivity booster, they can hire all the tech workers and turn them into money printers with the insane output they’re supposed to produce with it.
The Americas are two separate continents, we aren’t the only Americans.
Bad Bunny’s halftime show called people out for this lol. “God bless America” followed by listing all the countries in the Americas.
Since I don’t really care about him, I asked everyone’s favorite friend (AI) what he has to do with tech, but to respond as a sarcastic Redditor. This is what it told me:
Tech? Oh, now he’s deep in it—can’t escape the guy even if you wanted to.
Back in 2021, Harry jumped straight into Silicon Valley corporate culture by becoming the “Chief Impact Officer” at BetterUp, a $1 billion startup that does executive coaching and mental health support [1][11][12][13]. Yeah, that’s a real job title. No, I don’t know what it means either [4].
Since then, he’s been using his platform to scream about AI, disinformation, and big tech’s evil grip on society. He’s signed open letters calling for a ban on “AI superintelligence” alongside Steve Wozniak, Richard Branson, and—somehow—Steve Bannon [3][5][7][8][14]. Bro’s got range.
He’s also called out Meta for rolling back fact-checking [6], spoken at privacy summits about the “harrowing” damage social media does to kids [9][10], and linked online disinformation to real-world violence during a digital responsibility summit in Colombia [2].
So yeah, he’s not just living off Netflix deals and Oprah specials—he’s full-on tech activist now. Whether any of it actually does anything? That’s another story.

No, I’m not going to fact check that. I don’t care enough. It seems he at least is somewhat relevant though if only as an activist.
The only way he’s raising the market cap is by selling the company. Their market share is decreasing rapidly due to him.
Depending on your investments, the interest and dividends off a few million dollars should be able to sustain someone entirely on its own while still growing in value over time.
You don’t need to be a billionaire for that. It feels like the tax brackets need to go up to 100% after around a million or so in income.
This decoupling of commands from effects is interesting, but I don’t think I’d use it in most places. In this specific example, passing in an interface for an API client (or whatever other thing you want to call) lets you create a mock client and pass that in during testing, and different environments should be configured differently anyway.
There is one place I’d consider this though, and it’s incredibly specific: a MTG rules engine. Because of replacement effects, triggered abilities, and so on, being able to intercept everything from starting turns to taking damage means you can apply the various different game effects when they come up rather than mixing that logic up all over the codebase. I’m tempted to try this and see if it works, actually.
So these companies are planning to implement WFH policies now, right?
On the contrary, I have a 1440p 120Hz primary monitor and a 4k 60Hz vertical side monitor, and I can only seem to make that setup work with Wayland. I’ve been using only Wayland this whole time as a result.
As for all your issues with it:
The rest of these aren’t issues I’ve had to deal with at all, but I can see them coming up. Wayland does have some issues, but nothing I’ve come across that’s major enough to bother me all that much.
Poor lonelycpp. They became a target for major nations worldwide over such a dumb reason.
If I were them, I’d do anything I can to break the app immediately and force them to use anything else. I wouldn’t want to be in the supply chain for an app like this where being compromised is immediately a RCE incident for a government app.
What I usually push for is that every CI task either sets up the environment or executes that one command™ for that task. For example, that command can be uv run ruff check or cargo fmt --all -- --check or whatever.
Where the CI-runs-one-script-only (or no-CI) approach falls apart for me is when you want to have a deployment pipeline. It’s usually best not to have deployment secrets stored in any dev machine, so a good place to keep them is in your CI configs (and all major platforms support secrets stored with an environment, variable groups, etc). Of course, I’m referring here to work on a larger team, where permission to deploy needs to be transferrable, but you don’t really want to be rotating deployment secrets all the time either. This means you’re running code in the pipeline that you can’t run locally in order to deploy it.
It also doesn’t work well when you build for multiple platforms. For example, I have Rust projects that build and test on Windows, MacOS, and Linux which is only possible by running those on multiple runners (each on a different OS and, in MacOS’s case, CPU architecture).
The compromise of one-script-per-task can usually work even in these situations, from my experience. You still get to use things like GitHub’s matrix, for example, to run multiple runners in parallel. It just means you have different commands for different things now.
This is exactly what I was thinking. They aren’t programmed to follow the user’s instructions to begin with. Why is it a surprise when they deviate from them?
It’s a fundamental misunderstanding of the ML that goes into these LLMs. They are prediction machines. They might have “specialist” submodels or whatever that are better at predicting specific areas, but that’s about it.
The stolen emails appear to date from around 2011 to 2022 and appear to include personal, business and travel correspondence that Patel had with various contacts, according to a preliminary CNN review of the files with the help of an independent cybersecurity researcher.
Basically, nothing of value was stolen supposedly. The email appears, based on the article anyway, to be a personal email unrelated to work.
Honestly, I’m shocked nothing government related ended up in that account, at least for that time period. Nothing says government official more than confidential information existing where it shouldn’t be (insecure personal email servers, in boxes at home in Florida, in the White House on Trump’s desk, etc).
Don’t worry. I’ll sanitize his statement:
That god damn required age bullshit’s going to fuck up Arch and every other distro worth a damn.
Hope I was helpful!
But what caused this girl to sue? The article didn’t mention a big event afaik.
Based on the article, there are supposedly hundreds of these lawsuits. While I couldn’t say what caused her to sue, the outcome opens the floodgates. If anything, it’s accountability for some of the harms these platforms have profited on if it means they can now be sued for millions per person for it.
The job losses are AI-driven, though. The upper management fucked around with pouring billions into AI and found out, and the people who had nothing to do with that decision get to pay for it.
