I’d love to go back to mid-2000s me and say, “Hey, you know that whole semantic markup/HTML5/CSS3 thing and how it’s going to fix web dev?” Then explain React generating divs and spans with inline styles versus Tailwind’s utility classes.

Absurd Rust? Never! A blog post on bottom types, non-terminating functions, Infallible, and the never type (!), with a decent sprinkling of Haskell too.

How to use Rust’s never type (!) to write cleaner async code

The five stages of writing a blog post (or doing anything):
1. Denial: this will be easy
2. Anger: why isn’t this working?
3. Bargaining: maybe I can find a simpler approach?
4. Depression: I’ll never get it done
5. Acceptance: time to block off 4 hours and get to work

Bitcoin’s core story is different from most cryptocurrencies. It has no centrally issuing authority. A few others have tried to do that, and one of them (zcash) just had a major surge, but ultimately Bitcoin beats all of them with the balance between transparency, new coin issuance policy, and first mover advantage.

After experimenting with about 4 different desktop environments, 5 different distros, and a half dozen different combos of Snap/Flatpak/native install of apps... I'm back on Fedora+Gnome and avoiding Snap and Flatpak wherever possible.

Really happy that I got to pick up some discount sats last week :)
