Sergey Bugaev / is on Nostr

Unix hacker. I do obscure and cursed things.

I hack on Darling, SerenityOS / Ladybird, GNU Hurd / glibc, wl-clipboard, Owl, etc.

I use GNOME, and contribute to freedesktop / GNOME projects sometimes (systemd, PipeWire, GLib, GTK, etc).

I like Rust and dislike Docker.

@npub1eqg…fncn Cell<T> is basically exactly same as T at runtime. It doesn't know or do anything about the heap, it just wraps an instance of T internally.

Looks like the "break rust" easter egg that I added last year is being removed from GCC #Rust over being "bloat" and "insulting the GCC users"
Oh well

@npub19am…qjn6 on Linux, you can use openat(O_NOFOLLOW | O_PATH) + readlinat(""). On the Hurd, openat(O_NOLINK) + fstat() + read()

I cannot overstate just how important the GCC Rust project is for, like, the future of computing, and everything.
And yet, under any post on LWN / HN / Reddit, 90% of discussion is people demanding justification for the project's existence. Because how *dare* they develop a compiler that someone doesn't see a use case for?!
