We thought we had all of the money together to pay rent, but then bills went through and food was bought and we ended up short by a few hundred dollars. We can pay it...but not until Tuesday and, by then, we'll have late fees. #TransCrowdFund #DisabilityCrowdFund

Any Rust users I know that got a Macbook Neo have an experience to report?

Matt Campbell@matt.toot.cafe.ap.brid.gy · 5mo ago

I'm nearing the end of my masters so starting the search for a job I'm interested in quite a wide array of things, my main skills & interests lie in Security, (Embedded) Rust and Cloud / Distributed Systems. Preferably something Hybrid/Remote. You can find my CV at 0x76.dev/cv.html

Question for the #rustlang crowd: Anyone know of a formal CS textbook that teaches Data Structures and Algorithms in Rust? What about a Graph Algorithms one? Would appreciate a signal boost

Today’s my last day at AWS working on the Rust compiler. Unfortunately, back in July I received notice that I had to choose between moving to Boston from NYC, or leaving the company due to RTO policy. I unfortunately couldn’t abandon the city I plan on being my long term home.

FDA ends broad Covid vaccine authorization as RFK Jr. limits access to immunizations

It's unclear how easily patients without high risk factors will be able to get a Covid shot, and whether insurance plans will still cover them.
