Linux 7.0 Officially Concluding The Rust Experiment #devopsish

Linux 7.0 Officially Concluding The Rust Experiment

While Linux 7.0 is the next kernel version solely over Linus Torvalds' numbering preference, there is a notable symbolic change that was sent in overnight for this new kernel merge window: formally concluding the 'Rust experiment' with upstream kernel developers now in acceptance that Rust for the Linux kernel is here to stay.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Hey guys, here's a brand new blog post on how to mock your db in end to end tests in sveltekit...this is something that always annoyed me so I've decided to give it a proper thought and I think i found a decent solution! Give it a read!

Writing tests when you are loading your data from a database is very annoying but we can make it better.

EuroRust isn’t just talks all day, it’s a gathering of Rustaceans and Rustaceans-to-be. Four days in total—in Paris—full of everything Rust! Also, please note that on September 1 we’re switching to late-bird ticket pricing, so make sure to get yours before that! 🦀

I just published a brand new blog post about how to build Web Components and most importantly how to do it with Svelte! 😎 Check this out and please give me any feedback! 🧡

So, some of you may know that recently I'm working full time on the svelte renderer API thanks to the company I work for ( @mainmatter.com ). This will unlock using Lynx to build native applications with svelte. There's still a lot of work to do but isn't a counter the mother of all apps? 🧡😍

This week was yet another great week for the @mainmatter.com Ember Initiative. We have been working with @discourse.org to get their app converted to more modern Ember technologies and we were able to convert the whole admin section of the app to use GJS 🎉 github.com/discourse/di...

DEV: [gjs-codemod] convert admin files to gjs by davidtaylorhq · Pull Request #31999 · discourse/discourse

Updated using @embroider/template-tag-codemod, plus some manual fixups. The first three commits here are to preserve git-blame. Most important thing to review is the codemod commit itself: a079e3d?w=1

@matt.travi.org what's the best way to DM you? LinkedIn? Your contact form in matt.travi.org/contact? I'm collecting feedback for a tool I'm working on and I thought your input would be perfect considering your work in semantic-release, probot, etc.

I'm veeery happy for this! After 4 years, 2.614 commits and 2.047 pull requests we are happy to announce Gravity is live! This journey has helped me grow a lot. I used to work on a quite scoped project with more colleagues, and this time, it was myself making product or architectural decisions.

At @mainmatter.com we are always eager to give back to the ecosystem we are part of and we are trying to do the same for the svelte ecosystem (we started it already with @sheepdog/svelte)....so now i want to hear from you! What are your main frustrations with svelte? What library you wish existed? 🧡

At @mainmatter.com we often hear from clients that they also want native support...let's fix this! With Lynx and a custom renderer API we should be able to unlock this and much much more for svelte! Excited to work on this 😍

Ben McCann@benmccann.com · last yr.

Mainmatter has offered to sponsor development of a custom render API in Svelte 5, which will unblock support for Lynx and Svelte Native!

For a long time much earlier in my career, I had believed and accepted that events like getting paged multiple times in the middle of the night during an on-call rotation was just part of the cost I had to accept to do the job. It was not something I questioned, but chose to endure.

Yesterday we got the @emberjs.com RFC that will make @vite.dev the default build system for new apps accepted 🎉🎊🎉 We now have a plan that is all agreed and we just need to make it happen 💪 This is a great holiday OSS present for me 🎁🎄😍🐹
