Note: This is an edited re-post of something I wrote in 2019 on a now-defunct blog, apparently a month before I started my first job in tech. I need to reference it in a future post. As a result, it is a little bit different stylistically from my current w…

via Rob O'Leary | BlogJune 01, 2025Generative AI will probably make blogs better
Generative AI will probably make blogs better. Have you ever searched for something on Google and found the first one, two, or three blog posts to be utter nonsense? That's because these blog posts have been optimized not for human consumption, but rather …
via pcloadletterMay 30, 2025The everlasting now
Continuing the experiment. My first post in this series was manually crafted, but coding a static almost-a-site generator, without having to worry about all the interrelationships on the old site was quick, & in Rust terms at least, relatively easy. This i…

My coffee workflow by Clement Delafargue on April 1, 2025 Tagged as: coffee, espresso, flair58, v60. It is my first April cools’ and I guess I could start by talking about coffee. If you’ve seen me in person, it won’t be a surprise, I guess. This po…

Well, it's "done". TypeSystemRust has a (semi) working prototype for LLDB 19.x. It doesn't support expressions or MSVC targets (i.e. PDB debug info), and there are a whole host of catastrophic crashes, but it more or less proves what it needs to: Rust's de…
