  • Should atomics be unsafe?

    Historically, such serious bugs get communicated broadly and addressed very quickly via security advisory blog posts and on https://rustsec.org.

    This font gets double-bolded :D – Alfa Slab One is already bold, and then font-weight: 800 makes the browser "bold it even more". Rust blog also had the same issue. So instead of dimming the font-weight of titles, you should instead just tell the browser that Alfa Slab One is already bold:

    Indeed! Thanks for pointing this out, I just opened a PR to mention the additional mitigation.
  • Announcing Rust 1.66.0
    6 projects | /r/rust | 15 Dec 2022
    You're correct that there's currently no language-level way to get at the raw discriminant in this case, you need to use unsafe and inspect the discriminant directly. I agree that the blog post should mention this limitation, here's a PR to fix it: https://github.com/rust-lang/blog.rust-lang.org/pull/1056
  • Anything C can do Rust can do Better

  • Can someone recommend good blogs about Rust?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 8 Nov 2022
    The official Rust blogs are actually pretty good: https://blog.rust-lang.org/
  • About political messages on the Rust blog.
    7 projects | /r/rust | 5 Nov 2022
    Note that "separate" is not obviously correct to me. The statement about Iran was added to the release announcement via discussion from the "leadership chat,", and my understanding is that the leadership chat contains "project directors on the Rust Foundation board".
  • Rust 1.65.0
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Nov 2022
    As a Rust team member, I have no earthly clue. Maybe it's the Core team? Or the blog author? Or the release team? Also no clue whatsoever as to the process for determining which cause to promote or even which causes are not allowed to be promoted (if any?).

    The blog is on github, and this is the commit that added it: https://github.com/rust-lang/blog.rust-lang.org/pull/1043/co...

    What is the "leadership chat"? See: https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2022/10/06/governance...

    (I had thought the "leadership chat" was supposed to be a temporary group working to resolve a governance problem precipitated by the mod team resignation last year (of which I was a member), but it appears to be a decision making body at this point.)

  • Announcing Rust 1.65.0
    10 projects | /r/rust | 3 Nov 2022
    No, I don't think so. And as far as I can tell, this wasn't made by the release team, but by the leadership chat.

  • Learning Rust: A clean start
    5 projects | dev.to | 26 Feb 2024
    My first port of call was to google learn rust which lead me to "the book". The book is a first steps guide written by the rust community for newbies (or Rustlings as they're called) to gain a 'solid grasp of the language'.
  • Prodzilla: From Zero to Prod with Rust and Shuttle
    6 projects | dev.to | 21 Feb 2024
    Before Prodzilla, I’d read 'The Book' a couple of times, and had made my way through Rustlings, but hadn’t yet built a serious project in Rust.
  • Help me stop hating rust
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 24 Jan 2024
    To answer your last question;

    Start with the Rust book.

    https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/

    Then do Rustlings until the syntax becomes muscle memory.

    Then join the Discord and start doing little projects.

    You won’t get up to the proficiency of other languages as quickly in Rust. It takes longer. For me it’s taking a lot longer, but I enjoy it.

  • Top 10 Rusty Repositories for you to start your Open Source Journey
    11 projects | dev.to | 19 Dec 2023
    Before diving into these repositories, familiarize yourself with Rust and its development ecosystem. The official Rust book is an excellent resource for developers at all levels. Each repository has documentation on how to contribute, covering code style, issue tracking, and pull requests.
  • Command Line Rust is a great book
    4 projects | /r/rust | 8 Dec 2023
    This is my third Rust book after the official book and Rust in Action. The other two books are great, but they were too theoretical for me. I'm a slow learner and had much trouble grokking Rust's features and idiosyncrasies. When I was done with these books, I was lost and unsure of what I could do.
  • Advice Sought: Double down on Solidity dev or switch to Product?
    1 project | /r/CryptoCurrency | 6 Dec 2023
  • Nim
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Dec 2023
    It's the same reason everything digital and downloadable isn't free: there's a cost to create it and there's a value to it.

    For a language developer to charge for a book about that language, I think that's a completely valid way to make some money off of their work.

    Even the Rust book, "The Rust Programming Language" is available freely online [0], but also as a print and ebook for sale via NoStarchPress [1].

    Yeah, I'll build something, finally trying webassembly.
