it's also increasingly feeling like the Node style approach to dependencies is creating untenable dependency trees (surprising nobody) that balloon compile times and maintenance cost to ridiculous scale.

my oldest rust project is over 4 years old and the compiler breaks it every few months. if I were to compile it today, it would still take around 6 minutes to compile everything, if I miraculously got all the dependency versions lined up to compile under the current compiler.

this is a deeply frustrating aspect of working with Rust and it makes me scared of writing anything long term in it anymore. you really do just have to pin specific versions of the compiler to keep the lights on.

the stability story with rust is just, not working with the way the current library ecosystem works. you can barely compile current crates with the current compiler, let alone crates from a few months ago, and sure as hell you won't be compiling anything you haven't maintained in the last year.

“Move fast and break things” is an abomination if your goal is to create a healthy society.

This is the least of what is written here that should be heard, from yet another voice telling us things that we all know but do too little about.

h/t @ceejbot for bringing it over from twitter for me to see.

Racism, Joe Biden, politics 

Someone posted a thing Joe Biden just said and I could have sworn it was from 1979, but it was from tonight. They asked him about racial inequality in schools and he said black parents need to play the record player at night so kids hear more words. The record player. September 12, 2019.

This is a mind that hadn't absorbed anything since Smokey and the Bandit was in theaters.
