  @failedLyndonLaRouchite @Mara This is a rude and ill-informed comment. I went to the past two RustWeeks. The venue is excellent and entirely appropriate for a large, professional event. The conference is incredibly well run. Thank you, Mara and the entire RustWeek team!

  Reasons I use Firefox in August 2026: - A great ad blocker (uBlock Origin extension) - Great tab management (Sidebery extension) - A built-in VPN - It's an excellent browser that isn't made by Google

  Feels like we are heading towards a world where there are codebases that are >90% human code, and codebases that are >90% LLM-generated code, and not much in between.

  "human-generated content"? Just call it "work" if you need a generic term. Or be more specific if you can: "story", "illustration", "song", "video", etc.

  TIL on macOS and BSDs you can type ctrl-t in a terminal to send a SIGINFO signal and get information about certain long-running processes. It even works with `sleep`. But you can't do it on Linux :(
