View of sugar cane fields from where I was working. 💡 What Is Chimera Linux? Chimera Linux is a unique from-scratch Linux distribution created in 2021 by q66 that combines the Linux kernel, musl libc, FreeBSD userland, apk package manager, and dinit binary init system. The whole system is built with the LLVM toolchain. Since I started running the first alpha release of Chimera Linux in 2023, my goal has been to eventually migrate to Chimera as my primary operating system. This includes per...| www.wezm.net
I have been using IntelliJ Idea at work for a decade or so by now, and it’s been a reliable companion. JetBrains IDEs have a bit of a reputation for being slow, but their feature set is incredible: powerful refactoring tools, a great VCS UI (though I like magit even more!), a huge number of supported frameworks, integration with just about any testing library for any language, code coverage tools, powerful debuggers, etc.| Andrea Bergia's Website

I haven’t been blogging for the past ~eight months, because I was quite busy finishing my PhD thesis. I have finally submitted it by the end of August, and as of today, I have also succesfully defended it, which marks the end of my six (!) years1 long PhD study in the area of High-Performance Computing and Computer Science. My PhD study officially began on 30th August 2018, so the total study duration was in fact even longer than six years. ↩| Kobzol’s blog
Last year, we shipped Rust 2021 and I have found the changes to be a real improvement in usability. Even though the actual changes themselves were quite modest, the combination of precise capture closure and simpler formatting strings (println!("{x:?}") instead of println!("{:?}", x)) is making a real difference in my “day to day” life.1 Just like NLL and the new module system from Rust 2018, I’ve quickly adapted to these new conventions. When I go back to older code, with its clunky bo...| smallcultfollowing.com
Interest in Rust has surged in recent years, with tech leaders such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon coming forward to share their experiences of leveraging Rust for critical systems. Much of the dialogue about Rust, however, is still drive…| Corrode Rust Consulting
This post is part of the Languages Opinion series. Welcome back to my mini-series about programming languages. In this post, we will talk about one of the most interesting programming languages that I have seen in a long while: Rust. This is gonna be a rather long post, but I have tried to stay at a pretty high level, to give you an overview of the language, its strength, and its weaknesses as I see them.| andreabergia.com
