So uh. For / reasons / that I might expand on in future blog posts I needed to work on an old (~4y old) library… Without a commited lock file… With some dependencies being yanked… And some dependencies requiring much newer MSRV …
so, recently i’ve been “working” a lot with usb. both as-in trying to make a usb device and as-in trying to make an existing usb device work. (let’s all pray that i’ll write more about both of these projects later). and, well, this journey is one made of pain…
i recently saw the term “preferred pronouns” being used, which reminded i wanted to rant about it.

This week was something else! There is a lot I’ve done this week (2023-04-17—2023-04-21). This is mostly a log for myself so that I remember that I did things, but you may be interested in reading it too, for whatever reason.

Recently I’ve found some cursed Rust code and decided to make a little joke/question on twitter . In the tweet I’ve presented some unusual code and asked “how could it compile?”. The solution was found quite fast by @Veykril (kudos to them!) and in this post I want to explain it in detail.
In this post I’ll talk about Rust’s BTreeSet and tell a sad story about its methods.
I like writing comments. But at the same time comments kind of suck. In this post, I want to outline some ways we could improve this.
As always, I have some strong opinions on things I probably shouldn’t have opinions on. This time I want to tell you why I think if - else chains are syntactically harmful.
References can be quite confusing, especially with different mutabilities. Indeed, only a third of people in my poll said that they understand what &mut &[T] means!
As you may know, I have a (russian) telegram channel . One day I had a random thought about something I could make there. Now it became a tradition…
There is a function Iterator::filter_map . I want to argue that it’s useless and Rust provides more powerful tools to replace it.
We all know that null is a “billion-dollar mistake” , that it creates a lot of easy ways to make terrible mistakes. But it’s only so bad when it’s not checked by anyone and the compiler doesn’t force you to check it, right? Well, the title might be a spoiler, but let’s find out…
