⚠️ A few hours ago, a malicious crate was discovered on crates.​io which spread as a dependency of `arrayref` and some other crates, likely due to compromised credentials. The affected versions have been deleted. For details and how to see if you are impacted, see: blog.rust-lang.org/2026/08/20/s...

Happy to announce a new project: OxiSH, a modern, memory-safe SSH server. dirkjan.ochtman.nl/writing/2026... Prossimo has three criteria for suggesting memory-safe rewrites: (1) widely used, (2) on a security boundary and (3) performing a critical function. This is clearly true for SSH servers.

This might be the most beautiful thing I've read in my life. What a privilege to be alive in 2026. ordinaryabundance.com

I just posted a blog post on my hyperbezier curve: linebender.org/blog/hyperbe... I've actually been working on this for years, and only recently figured out a solution to the parameter mapping problem. I think this curve is potentially better than cubic Béziers for 2D vector graphic design.

this is a great idea! on dreams we did something similar: replays were a png of the screen at start of recording, with the serialised save state after and then packet record. explorer et al just ignored the extra data :) crash dump handler wrote the same format, so every crash bug came with a

yes this is excellent

with times being what they are, it seems like you basically can't have a public open source repo without receiving LLM-written PRs. thus, after a great deal of thought, i have adopted the somewhat idiosyncratic Mycelium AI Policy in my personal projects: github.com/hawkw/myceli...

Counter-intuitive VFX win: more vertices → 2× faster transparent effect. Large empty quads waste fragment shader time. A custom mesh that hugs the actual visible content kills the invisible overdraw. Thanks Jan Mróz for the reminder. lnkd.in/p/dkjNVigH

I feel like game devs are a unique combination of all of “doing some of the hardest software engineering”, “wild west cowboy bullshit”, and “hitting themselves in the head with hammers for no reason”

Huge perf improvement (up to 34%!) was just merged in rustdoc. Instead of handling trait impls and then filtering them, we now do the opposite. Nice side-effect: notable traits feature now works even better. PR and link to the perf report: github.com/rust-lang/ru...

rustdoc: Only build extern trait impls if needed by camelid · Pull Request #159623 · rust-lang/rust

View all comments or, finally remove the BadImplStripper! Building inlined impls is expensive, and most of them end up being unneeded and stripped later in this function. So we should filter them ...

i know the point of the "soda bottle next to a stack of sugar cubes" visualization is to shock you with how much sugar they cram into sodas but the takeaway i get from it is more like "oh cool i can just eat a fuckload of sugar cubes and it wouldn't be worse than having a soda"

I hate to join the error handling hot takes but I really wish we'd settled on a convention for the `Display` formatting of `Error` (that is, whether it runs recursively or whether you're expected to follow the `source`). A mix a both styles leads to intensely overly verbose error prints.

NixOS is the only system where I can hand someone a file and they get *my* machine. it's also the only one where a one-line change can eat 12GB of RAM mid-build and take the session with it. both things are true. I keep using it anyway. make of that what you will.
