Want to hire a Rust hero? Nicholas is looking for a job.

Couldn’t recommend such an impactful hiring more.

At last I'm back to working on #CodebergCI for #AutonomiDweb.

I already had a simple test doing deployment to #Codeberg pages but can find nothing to help me do cross platform #RustLang build and release.

I have this on GH by copying another project.

I hate Yaml - just saying - and while #WoodpeckerCI lint helps, I so miss the useful error messages of the #Rust compiler.

I'm now officially a maintainer of rust's stdarch. My first larger PR brings our CI time down from 40m to 13m, by being more clever about how we compile the C++ code that we test our intrinsics against:

https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1862

Turns out over 3000 invocations of clang on a CI machine are not fast...

There is lots more to improve, but now we can do it with a substantially faster feedback cycle.

$There are 3 main changes emit the arguments (the arrays of inputs) inside of the test function, and rename the test function from main to run_{intrinsic_name}. generate number-of-cores files, and ...$

The success story of the memory-safe sudo-rs, the Rust implementation of the sudo command, in an article from Prossimo, where it all began: https://www.memorysafety.org/blog/sudo-rs-headed-to-ubuntu/

We started work on sudo-rs in 2022, with @ferrous, for @ProssimoISRG. In 2024, sudo-rs moved to @trifectatech. We're still working on it: maintenance, improvements, and readying for various distributions, of which Ubuntu 25.10 is the biggest milestone so far!

Prossimo · 4dsudo-rs Headed to UbuntuEvery day, system administrators all over the world ask their computers to perform security-sensitive tasks across privilege boundaries, such as a standard user executing a command as root. The software most commonly used to navigate privilege boundaries is sudo (pronounced like "soo" and "do"), a 1980s evolution of the classic su ("substitute user") system administration tool. Where su lets a user fully log in as another user with the other user's credentials, sudo carries out individual commands in the context of another user with more fine-grained security policies regarding what can be run and what credentials are required.

So uh. #Rust #RustLang lower-level folks: does str::to_owned() actually make a full copy under the hood? I have always assumed it does, and that Cow is the only case where those semantics happen, but….

Thanks to EuroPython for putting on such a great event this week, where we were proud to have a booth! While in Prague, Rust Foundation Global Community Coordinator Ernest Kissiedu presented a lightning talk on the intersection of #rustlang and AI. Thank you to everyone who joined.

Today I wrote about 300 lines of Rust featuring "unsafe" that I thought about quite carefully.

Then I started adding safety comments. The act of needing to convincingly argue that something is true made me find and fix 3 bugs I had missed before.

Safety comments exist for a reason!

Firefox 141 adds WebGPU support on Windows, boosting graphics performance via the Rust-based wgpu project.
It brings faster, more efficient GPU access through a W3C-backed standard.

Linux and macOS support coming soon; Android is also planned.
Available now in Firefox Beta—can be enabled via about:config.

Progress is welcome, but Linux users are still waiting.
