Bill C-15 (regarding Canada Post) removes parliamentary oversight on library postal rates. It might result in interlibrary loans becoming unfeasible. ILL is frequently used by researchers & has significant impacts on anyone living in a remote area without regular library access, people physically unable to go to libraries, people in minority language communities, and people receiving braille, audio, and large‑print materials.

Whenever someone DMs me to ask about scheduling a meeting, I ask for more info about what the meeting will cover and then I continue asking and answering questions until everything has been covered in the DM itself so there is no longer any need for a meeting.

I love the care that goes into compiler error messages and warnings. I've watched a few people learn the language from scratch over the last few years (including a 14-year-old), and having a built-in teacher makes such a difference.

One thing I wish could be improved is that sometimes the (stable) rust compiler complains that you haven't implemented some unstable, nightly-only trait.

I find this very unhelpful to newcomers, and when they ask me for help, I can't come up with a better explanation than "yeah, that message is kind of broken. What it should have said is _____".

Today's example: "the trait `Step` is not implemented for `Foo`".

The `Step` trait is unstable. How is an inexperienced user supposed to know what to do next, if that's the error message produced? Saying "you didn't do the thing" when the stable compiler does not allow the thing is a bad look.

Because I entertained the idea once several years ago and another person reminded me, would anyone want a CorgiBeans plushie of my fursona?

They currently do not exist, and I have zero idea about timing or logistics or whatnot. I'm just curious if folks would want one.

The cost for 100 units is actually really reasonable >.> corgibeans.net/menu-1

Do I know someone who's looking for a solo (for now) lead role in an iOS-first platform project?

The previous lead dev had to leave for family reasons and FWIW was really proud of the code base, so no sloppy job to fix, but a real craft job.

Company is in founding stage, product MVP is actively being tested in closed beta and roll-out planned for this year.

They now need someone to take ownership and help ship and react to feedback.

expertise: huge plus!

trying to figure out what the deal is with this guy that apparently had controversy but I can't because every single thing written up about it is either "hey remember that thing that he did" or a paywalled news article
