GitHub Copilot allowed this guy to spend $25 for every dollar of subscription, or put another way, $11,432 of tokens for $451
Ed Zitron@edzitron.com · 3mo agoGitHub Copilot moves to token based billing on June 1, and its users have now got a calculator that shows how much they've been actually burning every month - some $39-a-month users have spent $1500 to $5800 in tokens a month.

I'm *very* excited to report that we got initial funding and have hired our first Rust maintainers! RustNL's Rust Maintainers Team starts out with two full time maintainers, one intern, and five part-time maintainers, now stably employed to continue their work on Rust! 🎉 rustnl.org/maintainers/
Mara Bos@mara.bsky.social · 10mo agoI'm excited to share what I've been working on with @erikjee.bsky.social: RustNL's #rustlang Maintainers Fund! Many people and companies contributing to Rust, but there are fewer and fewer paid positions for general maintenance (reviews,cleanups,etc). We need to fix that. bsky.app/profile/rust...

Howdy all. I'm unfortunately not going to be with my employer for much longer due to team relocation. If anyone has any info on roles that would allow me to continue my Rust compiler work (in New York City), they'd be greatly appreciated.
jsais pas qui c'est mais franchement elle a raison 👍👍👍

How Decentralized Is Bluesky Really? dustycloud.org/blog/how-dec... A technical deep-dive, since people have been asking me for my thoughts. I'll expand a bit on some of the key points here in a thread. 🧵
How decentralized is Bluesky really? -- Dustycloud Brainstorms
dustycloud.org
ohhh I saw something interesting on Bluesky's client app, "uploading thumbnail" after I pasted a link. Does it mean the thumbnail is uploaded by the client? Could lead to attacks like uploading a thumbnail that represents something entirely different from images hosted on the target link 🫠
