It always pains me when I see fellow software developers call other projects "shit."
Especially when the "shit" represents man-decades of hard work, like a browser or an OS.
C'mon. If you don't know how hard this stuff is, then you're a n00b.
Sure, we can always find fault and call everything shit, but is that kind of venting making anything better?
Maybe it makes you feel better, but every time we indulge in this kind of thing we're making tech a more hostile place to work and/or play.
an effort to produce a formal model of Rust's type system found its first stdlib bug! https://www.ralfj.de/blog/2017/06/09/mutexguard-sync.html

On my way to SFO tonight. Arrived at YVR gate at 10AM. Flight got delayed until 3PM.
On the plus side, I'm getting lots of BotW time in. 👍
Today's XKCD seems particularly relevant with all the machine learning focus at #io17 :p https://toot.cafe/media/SgsAAImcXjFSEWsv-ro

japaric has done the almost impossible: memory-safe preemptive multitasking on a microcontroller, no data races, no deadlocks, no priority inversions, guaranteed WCET if you do things right, all using Rust's basic features and Cortex-M's NVIC http://blog.japaric.io/fearless-concurrency/
MAXIMUM WEEB, ENGAGE!
Running on two hours of sleep last night and waking up at 2AM Vancouver time to catch a flight home. Luggage was misplaced, but apparently found and now I'm waiting for it to get delivered. It's supposed to arrive by midnight. Trying *really* hard not to pass out after being awake for over 20 hours now after such little sleep. 😴
I have to wake up early tomorrow too... 😣

Visiting family for Easter right now, then I'll be heading to Austin on Monday. I'm starting a new job, so I'm flying out to meet the team and learn how all the parts of the system fit together. I'm excited that I'll be able to put some time into Node.js core stuff again too! 🎉
you may only say "hey guys" if you are referring to a group at a guy fieri convention ok?
